ROAMING around the landscape in Minecraft is a lot easier on four legs than two, so taming a horse should be at the top of your list if you plan on exploring.
Minecraft horses are fairly easy to tame. It’s finding them that presents a challenge.
Where to find horses in Minecraft
Horses in Minecraft typically like to hang out in groups of anywhere between two and six.
You’ll find them in Plains and Savannahs biomes.
Horses aren’t aggressive so you don’t need to worry about getting attacked when approaching them.
How to craft a saddle in Minecraft
Before you head off into the wilderness to start gathering up mounts, you need to take a saddle with you.
If you want to ride your tame horse, take it back to your base, or do anything useful with it, you need to craft a saddle.
The bad news is that you can’t actually craft a saddle, which is a little annoying.
Instead, you have to go out into the world and find one, but on the plus side, they’re not particularly rare.
Places to find a saddle include chests in dungeons or a Nether Fortress.
You may also come across one while fishing!
How to tame a horse in Minecraft
So now that you know where to look for horses, and you’ve got an inventory full of saddles, you’re good to go.
You don’t need to lure horses in by feeding them, like you would with other tameable critters.
Simply approach the steed-to-be and press the prompt to climb aboard and mount it.
If you’re lucky, that’ll be the job done, and it’ll be tame.
It’s more likely you’ll get bucked off a few times, so just persevere and get back on.
Repeat until the horse is tamed, at which point you’ll need the saddle.
Access your inventory from your new horse’s back and equip it to the horse.
You can now control your mount.
