Webber was left infuriated by team-mate Sebastian Vettel's actions in the Malaysian Grand Prix at the weekend after the German ignored team orders to pass Webber and win the race.
In the aftermath of the controversial manoeuvre, Webber said he would be returning to his home in Australia to think over his future.
However, Horner says he is convinced that Webber will remain a valued member of the reigning constructors champions.
"I've got no doubt that Mark will see out the season with us," Horner told Sky Sports News.
"Mark knows there was no conspiracy within the team," he added.
"Our intention was to shut the race down, to minimise the risk ... the intent of the team was for Mark to win that race. We didn't suddenly give Sebastian an instruction to say, 'go and pass your team-mate'.
"He is big enough to know there was no malice, there was no intent from the team to create any situation like that.
"He is in a car that is capable of winning Grand Prix and hopefully going for a championship."
