Horse

Horses are passive mobs that were added in 1.6. Horses and donkeys can be tamed and are possible to ride. To tame a horse or donkey you can right click on it to get on. It will buck you off a few times and ou can keep repeating that pattern until hearts come out of the horse or donkey. If you shift + right-click a horse a small menu will come up. There will be 2 slots. In one you can attach a saddle to the horse, and on the other you can attach armor to the horse. Donkeys work the same way except when you shift + right-click an inventory will  come up with many slots, so it will work as a portable chest. Horses can be roped to fences as you can see a rope coming off of the horse in the picture. When riding a horse you will see a small blue bar above your quick select bar. That is  jump bar. To attain maximum jump height make sure the blue bar is full.
