Tame a horse, put a saddle on it and ride it around your village.

  • New skill Taming by riding (and patience!)
  • Level 1 · The Village
  • Difficulty Beginner
  • Mode Creative
  • Time 30–40 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Saddle up! You'll spawn a horse and climb on again and again until it trusts you and hearts appear. Then fit a saddle so you can steer, take a ride around your village, and build a stable from your plan.

Finish line: Your horse is tamed and saddled, and you've ridden it around the village.

Bonus challenge: Build a stable with a hay bale snack, or tame a second horse and race the two.

You’ll need

  • Horse spawn egg
  • Saddle
  • Apples or sugar

You choose

  • Horse colour and name
  • Your stable design
  • Where you'll ride first

Stuck?

  • Thrown off? That's normal. Keep climbing back on, and feed it apples or sugar to help.
  • Climb on with an empty hand. Holding food or a block can make you feed it or place the block instead.
  • Can't steer? Horses need a saddle before you can control where they go.
