Overview
A good horse is still the fastest reliable overland travel in the game, outrunning sprinting by a wide margin and jumping fences with the right stats. Tame it by mounting repeatedly until hearts appear, then equip a saddle and horse armour, which a horse can wear but a donkey cannot. Breeding two horses with golden carrots or golden apples produces a foal whose stats average the parents plus a random third roll, so selective breeding works.
Horse is one of the tameable mobs you will meet in Minecraft 1.21.4. Health sits at 30 points (15 hearts). Killing one drops 3 experience.
