Ever wondered, “How do I get on the horse in Minecraft?” You’re not alone! This question pops up a lot among new and seasoned players alike. Let’s saddle up and find out!

Getting on a horse in Minecraft might seem tricky at first, but with a few simple steps, you’ll be riding across the blocky terrain in no time.

Quick Steps to Mount a Horse in Minecraft

To get on a horse in Minecraft, you first need to find one. Horses roam in the plains and savannas. Once you’ve spotted a horse, approach it with nothing in your hand.

Next, right-click or tap on the horse to mount it. The first few times, the horse might buck you off. Don’t worry; this is normal. Keep trying, and eventually, the horse will accept you as its rider. Once you see hearts appear around the horse, you’ve successfully tamed it. Now, to actually ride the horse and control its movements, you’ll need a saddle. Find or craft a saddle, then open the horse’s inventory and place the saddle in the appropriate slot. Voilà, you’re ready to ride!
