ooo when it that out? horses is cool, I spose you ride them with the saddle, do you get meat from them too? what uses us there for them?
-
I believe you need to make a horse saddle to ride them (all be it, it looks no different to a normal saddle but meh) and used for riding from all I can gather. you have to earn their trust though before you can ride them.

They can wear armour also , and have specific attributes , size , appearance , jump height and length , speed and health , oh and there are donkeys that can carry items in a chest inventory . They seem interesting .
