You can solve the horizon problem by having the universe expand ultra-fast for a time, just after the big bang, blowing up by a factor of 10^50 in 10^(-33) seconds.

But wait ... Then the speed of light wouldn't be constant and the Earth wouldn't be 14 Billion years old ... Then we would have to come up with new models ... and then we would have to admit we were wrong on several fronts ... So that can't be right. I'm mean, We're Scientists! Next!

You're not as smart as you think you are.
