Born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, in England in 1985, Horsey learned golf in Northwest England, close to Scotland, the birthplace of the sport. He grew up in the game playing in conditions such as the ones that courses in the British Isles are known for, honing his game in heavy winds on tough courses.

After playing golf through his early teen years, Horsey finished second in the 2004 English Amateur Championship at the age of 19.

He stayed on that your, Europe's second-tier professional men's tour, but failed to earn his European Tour card by the end of the 2007 season. He stayed on the Challenge Tour for the 2008 season and exceeded even his own expectations in his first full year as a pro.

He also finished in the top 10 seven other times and finished tied for fifth in an invite to a European Tour event. He found himself on the top of the rankings for the Challenge Tour by the end of the season, earning himself a coveted spot on the European Tour for 2009.
