About Leather Horse Armor

Leather horse armor is the weakest protection you can give a tamed horse, but it still reduces the damage your horse takes from mob attacks and other hazards. It never breaks or needs repairing, so it lasts until you decide to replace it.

You can dye it to match your style. To equip it, open a tamed horse's inventory and place the armor in the armor slot.

Key facts:

  • Provides the least protection of all horse armor.
  • Does not break or need repairing.
  • Can be dyed like leather armor.

How to get Leather Horse Armor

You can craft leather horse armor from seven pieces of leather. Arrange them on a crafting table with the top and bottom middle spaces empty, leaving an H shape. It can also appear in some dungeon and structure loot chests, but crafting is the most reliable way to get it early on.
