You’re probably not the only one wondering how horse breeding works in Minecraft. Many new players are confused about how to tame and breed horses, donkeys, and mules in Minecraft, but our user-friendly guide to horse breeding will walk you through breeding each species and explain which species is best to breed in various scenarios. In no time at all, you and your friends will be riding between your towers and castles!
- You can breed horses in Minecraft by feeding Golden Apples or Carrots to two tamed horses.

Horse breeding: From field to foal, and how to get there in Minecraft Bedrock Edition

Horses spawn in groups of two to six in the plains and savannahs of Minecraft Bedrock Edition. In a herd that reproduces naturally, all of the horses will be the same color but have unique markings. Additionally, stables and animal pens that can house horses spawn alongside villages.
Right-clicking them while holding an empty hand will tame them. The player will then be mounted and either bucked off the horse or the animal will be tamed as a result of this. Players can feed wild horses apples, wheat, sugar, golden carrots, or golden apples to improve their chances of successfully taming them. The horse is regarded as tamed once hearts start to appear above its head.
2) Preparing the food
After taming, horses must be fed either golden apples or golden carrots in order to breed. When a tree is cut down in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, the broken leaves produce apples, and carrots can be grown. If the player has already located some carrots, this makes them the easier option.
For either of these food items to be crafted, players will also need gold. While golden carrots need eight golden nuggets, golden apples only need eight gold ingots. Golden apples can also be located in any of the following locations in Minecraft Bedrock Edition:
- Dungeons
- Mineshafts
- Bastions
- Desert Temples
- Igloos
- Ruined Portals
- Strongholds
- Underwater Ruins
- Woodland Mansions
3) Breeding the horses

To breed two horses, just equip it and right-click on them after creating one of the two golden foods. This will cause them to enter love mode. They will then give birth to a foal, which will naturally mature into an adult after 20 minutes.
4) Speeding up the growth of the new horse

While there is the option to let a foal grow naturally for 20 minutes, there are options to speed up the growth, most of which profit from having farms already built.
- Reduces time by 20 seconds (Wheat)
- Reduces time by 30 seconds (Sugar)
- Reduces time by 1 minute (Apples, Golden Carrots)
- Reduces time by 3 minutes (Hay Bale)
- Reduces time by 4 minutes (Golden Apples)
The food the horse requires is indicated in parenthesis. Golden apples are the quickest way to get a new adult horse, but due to their scarcity, it would be more effective to use hay bales or golden carrots.
