Usage

Only normal adult horses can wear armor; baby horses, donkeys, mules, and undead variants such as skeleton horses and zombie horses cannot be equipped with armor.

Protection

Horse armor can be equipped to horses either by manually placing it in its respective slot by pressing inventory while riding the horse (SlotSprite Horse Armor.png: Sprite image for Horse Armor in Minecraft), or by using the horse with it.

There is a gradual increase in the defense given from a horse wearing the different types of armor. Note that golden horse armor provides more protection than iron horse armor, whereas the opposite is true for player armor. Diamond horse armor is the only horse armor type to provide any armor toughness.

Material Armor Armor toughness
Diamond 11 (🛡 Ã— 5.5) 2

If a horse dies while equipped with any horse armor, it drops its normal loot, a saddle (if it had one), and the horse armor.

Durability

Unlike player armor, horse armor does not have durability. This means a single horse armor can be used infinitely unless destroyed.

Enchanting

Unlike player armor, horse armor cannot be enchanted in Survival mode. However, in Java Edition Creative mode, horse armor can be used with an anvil to enchant with Thorns, Feather Falling, Protection, Fire Protection, Projectile Protection, Blast Protection, Curse of Binding, and Curse of Vanishing. Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.
