Exhibit 31.2

                                 Certification


I, Kelli J. Holz, certify that:

1.  I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Horizon Financial
    Corp;

2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
    of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
    statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
    were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
    report;

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
    information included in this report, fairly present in all material
    respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
    the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.  I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
    procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
    internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act
    Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

   (a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
       disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
       supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
       registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
       us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
       which this report is being prepared;

   (b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
       internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our
       supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
       of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
       external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
       principles.

   (c) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
       procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
       effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
       of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

   (d) Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
       control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
       most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in
       the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
       reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
       control over financial reporting; and

5.  I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control
    over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
    committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing
    the equivalent functions):

   (a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
       operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
       reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
       record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

   (b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
       employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
       control over financial reporting.
