Question

What should I do if I have followed your steps and nothing has happened?

Community Answer

Try taming the horse first before you breed it. Otherwise, if it still doesn't work, then you may have a bug.

Question

If a horse has a lot of hearts, is fast, but can't jump high, is it best to breed it with a horse that can jump high, but has low hearts and speed?

Community Answer

Yes, you'll want a horse that can jump high, so that trait will most likely show up in the baby.

Question

How do I tame a horse in Minecraft?

Community Answer

You simply ride the horse until it has hearts coming out of it, even if it bucks you off. You can also feed it golden apples. If you have fed it enough, the next time you get on it, it will immediately be tame.

How do you feed a golden apple to your horse if it is not hungry?

It is always going to eat it. Unlike the Minecraft people (you), they don't have hunger bars, and will eat everything you give them.

Question

We just purchased a new Minecraft 360 game. It does not appear to have horses. Why is that?

CaptianYaya

Community Answer

Make sure you have a version of 1.6.4 or higher on the Xbox 360 for this to work. Also, horses only spawn in grassy biomes, such as the plains or savanna.

Question

Do I hold the golden apple/golden carrot and move towards the horse to feed it?

CaptianYaya

Community Answer

You have to click on the horse with your "Use Item" button, as long as the horse is tamed. On computers or on pi this is the right click button. On any mobile device, you will see a feed button. On Xbox and Nintendo switch this is the Left Trigger, and on PlayStation it is L2 (or L on PlayStation Vita).

Why are some horses slower than others?

CaptianYaya

Every horse has different characteristics, just like in real life. Keep in mind a bred horse will be a combination of both parents' characteristics.

Question

I brought the Minecraft game Xbox 360 for my child, and she can't find any horses, what does she need to do?

She needs to find a grassy biome. They might spawn there. Alternatively, you can create a world in creative mode and spawn them yourself.

Question

I can't get both my horses in "love mode." What am I doing wrong?

Community Answer

Make sure they're tamed and that you have at least version 1.8 and that you have not already bred them. Wait 15 minutes and try again. If that doesn't work, it's probably a glitch.
