In every step, we add this-coeff to the product of the already-computed higher-terms and x. With an initial term of 0, this procedure readily applies itself to a use of accumulate.

(define (horner-eval x coefficient-sequence)
  (accumulate (lambda (this-coeff higher-terms) (+ this-coeff (* higher-terms x)))
              0
              coefficient-sequence))
