The creatures you find in Minecraft have a variety of uses. Many are good farm animals and adding them to your base is an interesting experience, much like horses. These helpful animals can take you around the map at incredible speeds. If you acquire several horses, chances are you can breed them and make a baby horse. This is what you need to know about how to breed horses in Minecraft.
How taming and raising a horse works in Minecraft
Before horses breed and have a foal, you need to make sure you have two tamed horses. You can tame a horse by trying to ride an adult multiple times. You can do this when you try to approach empty-handed and interact with the animal by riding it. When you ride the animal, chances are the horse will knock you down. However, each time you are knocked off the horse’s back, you are one step closer to taming it, and each time you mount the horse, you will ride it longer.

When you’ve finally tamed the horse, the next step is to make sure you’ve tamed two of them. Bring the tamed horses back to your base and you can give them one of two items to breed together. You can provide them with a golden carrot or a golden apple. These are rare items that have a chance to spawn inside chests at altars, underwater ruins, dungeons, igloos, desert temples, mine shafts, or inside mansions in the woods.
Both horses should be fed Golden Apple or Golden Carrot to each other. Eventually, these two will breed and have a baby horse together. The new foal will take time, but it will be tamed for you. After that, you will have to wait five minutes before the horses can breed together again.
