Finding and Approaching Wild Horses
Wild horses spawn naturally in plains and savanna biomes in Minecraft Education Edition. Look for groups of 2-6 horses grazing together – they come in various colors including white, brown, black, and spotted patterns. Approach slowly since horses will run away if you move too quickly or make sudden movements.
The Taming Process
Taming a horse requires patience and persistence. Right-click (or tap on mobile) on the horse with an empty hand to mount it. The horse will immediately buck you off – this is completely normal! Keep mounting the horse repeatedly until you see red hearts appear above its head, indicating successful taming.
Each attempt has a random chance of success, typically taking 3-10 tries depending on the horse. Don’t get discouraged if it takes several attempts – every horse has different temperament levels that affect taming difficulty.
Speeding Up Taming with Food
While not required, feeding horses specific items significantly increases your taming chances:
- Sugar – +3% taming chance per feeding
- Wheat – +3% taming chance
- Apples – +3% taming chance
- Golden Carrots – +5% taming chance (most effective)
- Golden Apples – +10% taming chance (rare but powerful)
Feed the horse by holding the food item and right-clicking. You’ll see the horse eating animation and small hearts appearing, indicating the food was accepted.
After Successful Taming
Once tamed, your horse becomes permanently loyal to you. You can now:
- Mount and dismount freely without being bucked off
- Access the horse’s inventory by right-clicking while sneaking
- Equip a saddle for better control and horse armor for protection
- Breed your horse with other tamed horses using golden carrots or golden apples
Essential Equipment
While you can ride a tamed horse without equipment, a saddle provides much better control and prevents the horse from wandering. Saddles can be found in dungeon chests, village blacksmith shops, or obtained through fishing. Horse armor (leather, iron, gold, or diamond) protects your mount during combat.
Remember that each horse has unique stats for speed, jump height, and health – so experiment with different horses to find your perfect companion for exploring the vast worlds of Minecraft Education Edition.
TL;DR
Mount wild horses repeatedly until red hearts appear (3-10 attempts). Feed sugar, wheat, or apples to increase taming chances, then equip with saddle and armor.
