Irina "Zemlia" Sukhanova How pleasant it is to ride a horse across a meadow, enjoying the fragrant aroma of fresh grass. A gentle wind blows in the face and ruffles hair, the sun's rays provide warmth, and the ride itself offers unforgettable sensations.

Of course, in reality, the chance to do what is described above doesn't always come up, but in games, anything is possible. To experience this, simply tame a horse in Minecraft and ride as much as the user wants. However, many users might not know how to do this. Well, we are happy to guide you!
Where can you find horses?

First, gamers need to know where to look for the animal. Boldly head to the Plains biome.
However, if you don't want to go to the trouble, there is always the option to use cheats:
- /summon EntityHorse [x] [y] [z] [dataTag] — for Java Edition versions 1.8, 1.9, 1.10;
- /summon horse [pos] [nbt] — for other versions of Java Edition.
Tags in brackets are optional.

Players can also use a spawn egg.
Gamers should also think in advance about the item needed to saddle the animal. It’s shown in the picture below.

A saddle can be found in chests or Nether Fortresses. There is also a chance to catch one while fishing.
The process of taming a Minecraft horse

As mentioned above, gamers will need a saddle, but horse armor will also work.
To succeed, the player should obtain an apple to give to the animal. Feed the beast until red hearts appear above it. Once they appear on the screen, consider this a partial success.

The player can then try their luck and mount the horse, but it will likely throw the character off. Make several attempts. You need to press the button, but this depends on the platform and version. Let's take a look at them.
Platforms/Version | Buttons |
| Java (PC/Mac) | right click |
| Pocket Edition | mount |
| Windows 10 | right click |
| Nintendo Switch | ZL |
| PS | L2 |
| Xbox | LT |
| Education Edition | right click |
| Wii U | ZL |
Where the right mouse button is indicated, the player needs to first aim the cursor at the horse.
Once the gamer mounts the beasts, they will not be able to control it at first. To fix this, you need to put a saddle on it by dragging it into the box next to the animal.
