Horenbant became a teacher and later director at the Academy in Sint-Niklaas. He painted landscapes, genre scenes, markets and interiors. As a member of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts in Ghent, he participated in the triennial exhibitions. He won a bronze medal at the World Fair in Paris in 1900 and a gold medal in Brussels in 1910. He played an important role in the establishment of the municipal museum in Sint-Niklaas.
