How to tame a horse in minecraft

Right click your horse to ride it. It will buck you off the first couple of times but keep trying to ride it until hearts appear from the horse.

When the hearts appear stay on the horse and press "e".

Drag the saddle from your inventory into the saddle section to be able to control where it goes. You can also add armor if you want.

Place an anvil and drag a name tag into it. Type in the name of your new horse at the top and take the name tag out of the anvil from the right.

Right click your horse with the name tag to name it.

Have fun riding around in style and racing!
