During April 2010 Horst was sent out on loan to the

On November 24, 2010, Horst was selected by

2010 MLS Expansion Draft. Horst impressed during the Timbers' inaugural 2011 season and signed a new contract with the club on November 28, 2011.[7]

On December 17, 2013, Horst was dealt to the Houston Dynamo in exchange for a 4th-round pick in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft.[8] Due to an ankle injury to former Portland teammate Eric Brunner, Horst became a starter for Houston.

In January 2017, Horst resigned with Real Salt Lake as a free agent. Horst suffered a fully ruptured right Achilles tendon in late June 2018 that kept him sidelined for the remainder of the season.
