how do you tame a horse in minecraft

To tame a horse in Minecraft, empty your hand, repeatedly mount the horse until it stops bucking you off and shows hearts, then put a saddle on it so you can control where it goes.

Quick Scoop

• Make sure the horse is an adult (foals cannot be tamed).

• Stand close and interact with it (right‑click / tap “Mount” / use button, but with an empty hand or an item that can’t be used on the horse).

• The horse will buck you off several times; just keep getting back on. Hearts will appear when it is finally tamed.

• After it is tamed, open its inventory while mounted and put a saddle in the saddle slot so you can steer it.

• You can speed up taming a bit by feeding it apples, wheat, sugar, golden carrots, or golden apples before or between attempts.

Once you see hearts, that horse is yours permanently; you can name it, put armor on it, and ride off much faster than walking everywhere.
