Last updated
Ever wondered how you can get a horse to be your trusty steed in Minecraft? You’re not alone! Training a horse in Minecraft allows you to explore the vast world more quickly and carry items for you. Let’s dive into how you can make these friendly creatures your allies.
So, you want to know how to train a horse in Minecraft? It’s easier than you might think, and by the end of this guide, you’ll be ready to gallop across the Minecraft plains with your new companion.
Steps to Train Your Horse
To start training a horse in Minecraft, you first need to find one. Horses spawn in the plains and savannas in herds of 2-6. Once you’ve found a horse, it’s time to tame it. Taming is the first step to training your horse.
Approach a horse with nothing in your hand and right-click on it to attempt to mount. The horse might throw you off a few times, but don’t give up! Keep trying, and eventually, you’ll see hearts, indicating the horse is tamed and has accepted you as its rider. Now, to fully train your horse, you’ll want to equip it with a saddle. This allows you to control the direction the horse goes. Saddles can’t be crafted, so you’ll need to find one in a dungeon chest, by fishing, trading with villagers, or through chest in the Nether fortress.
Exploring the World of Minecraft with Your Horse
Now that you have a trained horse, the vast world of Minecraft just became a lot more accessible. Horses can jump high and run fast, making exploration and traveling across long distances much quicker and more fun. Plus, if you equip your horse with a chest, it can carry items for you, making it incredibly helpful for long adventures or when you’re gathering resources.
