Maybe you were in a previous version of minecraft? Also, not all horses are even! Some horses can go faster, but only able to jump a block and a half high. You may need to push them across the water and get back on. They won't start drowning, they will swim.
Don't forget to go forward at the same time. To do this you need to hold down the space bar until the action bar (above your items) reaches the top of the blue (see image). I've read online that they can jump high, but I've only been able to get mine to jump 2 blocks high. If you do this, use a lead to get your Horse out of the water so you can ride it again.Ī horse can walk over flat land and over blocks that are 1 block high. If you do, you will be thrown off the Horse and the Horse will start drowning. You cannot ride in water that is deeper than 1 block.
It goes right below where you put the saddle. Drag the saddle up where the outline of the saddle is. This will open up your inventory and the Horse's menu. Once your Horse is tamed, it will no longer buck you off, but you need to put a saddle on it before you can control where it goes.Įither get on the Horse or point towards the Horse and open your inventory menu.
