How to tame a horse in Minecraft

While riding horses, you can browse a map while looking good at the same time. But riding a four-legged beast in Minecraft isn’t as straightforward as it is in other games. You don’t buy a horse or press a “Ride” button and ride off into the sunset.

Horses are wild things in Minecraft. Then, you will be able to add them to your transportation system once you take them. Learn more about taming horses and other types of equine mobs in the game by reading on.

How to Tame a Horse in Minecraft

Horses in Minecraft are docile, so you don’t need to fight to tame one, but they are a bit skittish. To perfect this taming technique every single time, it may take some time and practice:

• Unquip your weapons, you won’t need them, and you don’t want to attack the horse accidentally.
• Approach the horse you want to tame.
• By right-clicking or pressing the Mount button, you can mount the horse. There will probably be a few occasions when you’re unseat by the horse, so you need to keep trying.
• When you have accepted the horse and he has stopped bucking you off his back, it is time to ride him. Equip a saddle from your inventory.
• Explore the map with your new mount.

You don’t need a saddle while you’re getting bucked into the dirt. When the horse refuses to work with you or will not accept you as a rider, you will need one. A saddle in your inventory is a good idea so that you’re ready to ride when the time comes.

Unfortunately, you cannot craft a saddle, so you will have to find one in the world. You’re most likely to see them in chests as you explore the map.

Taming a Horse in Minecraft Bedrock

Taming a horse in Minecraft Bedrock is similar to how you’d do it in other game editions.

• Approach the horse with empty hands.
• Tap the horse with your now open hands.
• OR
• Press the ‘’Ride’’ button, if available.
• Every time you’re bucked off the back of the horse, repeat steps 1-2 or 3.
• Once the horse stops bucking, hearts will appear on screen to indicate that it has been tamed.

To increase their chances of shortening the taming phase, some players like to feed the horse before taming it. Next time you want to tame a horse, you should try feeding them either sugar, wheat, or an apple first.

How to ride and tame horses in Minecraft

A horse must be tamed and ridden in three steps. Here are the actions you can take to get started:

Obtain Your Necessary Equipment

The first step is relatively painless because you need to obtain a saddle if you plan on riding the horse. Since you can’t craft a saddle in Minecraft, you’ll need to find one in a chest as you explore.

This is also a great time to shop for Horse Armor to put on your new mount. Like saddles, you can’t craft horse armor. It would be best if you found it while you’re exploring the map.

Taming the horse

Taming the horse is a relatively simple process. You can either click on it or press the Mount button if you are holding an empty hand. You’ll immediately be bucking off the back of the horse, when you’re on top of it. Continue this process until it stops unseating you and you see hearts appear. It’s the only way to know it has been tamed.

You can also reduce the time it takes to tame the horse by feeding him items like wheat, apples, and sugar.

Riding the horse

If you want to ride your horse, you have to put a saddle on him after he stops biting you. Without one, you won’t be able to control where it goes. You can also equip your mount with Horse Armor at this time.

Where to Find Horses in Minecraft

You can find naturally spawned horses in specific biomes like savannas or plains. There are typically two to six horses per herd, and they’re usually the same color with slight markings. Villages are another place in the game where the player can find naturally generated horses.
