This Minecraft tutorial explains how to tame and ride a horse with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
After you have tamed a horse in Minecraft, you can put a saddle on it and ride the horse. The saddle allows you to control the movements of the horse. Let's explore how to do this.

Required Materials to Ride a Horse

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to ride a horse:

Steps to Tame and Ride a Horse

1. Find a Horse

In Minecraft when you find a horse, you can tame it.

Horses are usually found in the Plains biome.

If you are having trouble finding a horse and you are playing the PC version of Minecraft, you can always summon a horse using a cheat.

2. Tame the Horse

In Minecraft you can ride a horse, but first you must tame the horse. Each horse that you wish to ride, must be tamed.
To tame a horse, make sure you have nothing selected in your hotbar. You must use your hand to tame the horse.
You will tame a horse by repeatedly trying to mount the horse and getting bucked off. The game control to mount the horse depends on the version of Minecraft:
  • For PC/Mac, right click on the horse.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you move your pointer over the horse and press the Mount button.
  • For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the horse.
  • For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
  • For Education Edition, right click on the horse.

The horse will buck you off. Each time you are knocked off, try to mount the horse again. After every attempt, the horse will let you sit on it a bit longer before it bucks you off.
When the horse is tamed, you should see red hearts appear all around the horse and the horse will no longer buck you off.

Now at this point, you can sit on the horse but you can not control the movement of the horse until you put a saddle on the horse. So let's learn how to put a saddle on the horse.

3. Put a Saddle on the Horse

Now that you have tamed the horse in Minecraft, you need to put a saddle on the horse. A saddle lets you ride the horse and control where the horse goes.
To put a saddle on a horse, select the saddle in your hotbar. The game control to put the saddle on the horse depends on the version of Minecraft:
  • For PC/Mac, right click on the horse to mount it and then press E for inventory.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the horse to mount it. Once mounted, tap on the button with 3 dots to open your inventory.
  • For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller to mount the horse and then open your inventory.
  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller to mount the horse and then open your inventory.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the horse to mount it and then press Efor inventory.
  • For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad to mount the horse and then press the X button to open your inventory.
  • For Education Edition, right click on the horse to mount it and then press E for inventory.
