Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
A right-handed opening batsman, Horne was handed his Test debut against the visiting English side in 1997. He showed a great deal of patience scoring 42 in his first essay, while occupying the crease for close to three hours. He compiled his maiden ton against Australia in Hobart in November 1997. The 100 at the Lord's though was the pick of his knocks with the Kiwis wrapping a famous away series victory.
Along with his bat and gloves, Matt Horne brought with him a switch to the crease. If the switch was flicked on, he played attacking shots, threading gaps with ease. However, when it was off, he struggled even on the flattest of tracks. It was this inconsistency that prevented him from nailing a permanent berth in the side. His ODI career also suffered from poor conversion rates. Matt Horne hit 5 fifties but had no ODI tons to his name.
Arguably, he was a stronger force in first-class cricket, scoring 8500+ plus runs, including 24 tons and 33 fifties, at an average of 40.87. After retirement in 2006, Horne took up a coaching position with Auckland. His brother, Phil Horne also made spasmodic appearances for New Zealand on the international scene.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
An attacking opening batsman with a characteristic high backlift and helmet without a visor, Matthew Horne struggled with inconsistency throughout his Test career, often shunted in and out of the side in the quest to find a suitable opener. A proven performer in domestic cricket, Horne's defining moment came in the 1995-96 Shell Trophy final, where his blistering 190 steered Auckland to the title. A switch to Otago yielded more runs, and a Test cap against England the next summer. He had a reasonably good start to his Test career, which included a maiden hundred against Australia at Hobart in 1997-98, but his century at Lord's in 1999 sparked New Zealand's revival, which helped them clinch a famous away-series win. However, he failed to score a half-century in the next nine Tests, and his appearances after that were sporadic.He showed shades of his attacking instincts in his 50 ODIs but failed to convert any of his five half-centuries to three figures. He retired from first-class cricket in May 2006, while playing league cricket in Scotland.
