How to Control a Horse in Minecraft: A Player’s Guide

Ever hopped onto a horse in Minecraft and wondered “Now what?” You’re not alone! Let’s dive into controlling your new four-legged friend.

So, you’ve spotted a majestic horse in the blocky vastness of Minecraft and made it your own. The question is, how do you steer and control this creature? Let’s find out.

Quick Steps to Control Your Horse

To control a horse in Minecraft, you first need to tame it. Approach the horse and right-click on it (PC/Mac) or tap the ‘Mount’ button (mobile) to hop on. The horse might buck you off a few times, but don’t give up! Keep trying, and you’ll eventually see hearts, signaling the horse is now tame and loves you!

After taming, you’ll need a saddle. Unfortunately, you can’t craft a saddle; you have to find one. Look in dungeons, temples, or fishing! Once you have a saddle, open the horse’s inventory while mounted (right-click or tap ‘Open Inventory’) and place the saddle in the appropriate slot. Now, you’re in control! Use your normal movement keys or buttons to ride into the sunset.
