Once you know what to do, you can bring the horse of your dreams into the blocky world.<\/p>\n<p>There are benefits to stats and colour when breeding horses in Minecraft. Even if it were just to see the cute spindly foal roaming around your homestead, though, it\u2019s a task worth completing.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in how to breed horses in Minecraft, read on below to find out exactly that.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to breed horses in Minecraft explained<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>To breed horses in Minecraft, you need to <b>feed<\/b> <b>two tamed horses<\/b> either <b>golden apples or golden carrots<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Feeding two tamed horses that are near each other golden carrots or golden apples will activate love mode. This leads to mating, which leads to a foal (baby horse) being born.<\/p>\n<p>No. We\u2019re not going into the Minecraft horse birds and bees. Ask your parents.<\/p>\n<p>You can breed a horse and a donkey together, too, to create mules. Mules cannot breed, though, so don\u2019t even try it.<\/p>\n<p>After breeding two horses or a donkey and a horse, the foal they birth has its stats and colourings based on its parents. A bred foal\u2019s stats, for instance, are taken as an average of those of its parents plus a random variation.<\/p>\n<p>The colour of your baby horse, donkey or mule, meanwhile, has an 11 per cent chance of a random base colour, plus a 20 per cent chance for random markings.<\/p>\n<p>If neither of those low percentage options are met, the colour of your foal will be based on the colour of one of its parents.<\/p>\n<p>Now, get out there and create the best Minecraft horse, donkey or mule you can.<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6340295100112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <h3><b>How to tame horses and donkeys in Minecraft<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>To tame a horse or donkey in Minecraft, <strong>you need to get close enough to them to interact in order to climb onto their back<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Keep doing this until they no longer buck and kick you off and instead allow you to ride them.<\/p>\n<p>Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/how-to-make-saddle-minecraft-guide\/\">Saddle<\/a> or a Lead to take them where you want them to go \u2013 back to your farm for breeding, if that\u2019s your plan.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Where to find golden apples and golden carrots in Minecraft<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>You can find golden apples inside treasure chests located in the following areas:<b\/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Dungeon<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Mineshaft<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Bastion Remnant<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Desert Temple<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Igloo<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Ruined Portal<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Stronghold<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Underwater Ruins<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Woodland Mansion<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also craft a golden apple by fusing gold ingots and an apple together.<\/p>\n<p>Find golden carrots, meanwhile, inside treasure chests within the following areas:<b\/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Ancient City<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Bastion Remnant<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Ruined Portal<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Craft golden carrots, instead, with gold nuggets and a carrot.<\/p> <p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a>, subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free newsletter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest gaming intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
