Usage

Only regular adult horses and zombie horses can wear leather horse armor; baby horses, donkeys, mules and skeleton horses cannot be equipped with armor.

Equipping

Leather horse armor can be equipped to a horse either by manually placing it in its respective slot () in the horse’s inventory, or by pressing Use on the horse while holding it.

The leather horse armor can be removed either by manually removing it from the armor slot or by using shears on the horse.

Protection

When equipped, leather horse armor gives 3 () armor points.

Leather horse armor protects horses from freezing in powder snow, but it does not negate other powder snow effects (e.g. falling through, inability to jump).

Horse armor prevents zombie horses from burning in sunlight.

If a horse dies while equipped with leather horse armor, it drops its normal loot and the horse armor.

Durability

Unlike player armor or wolf armor, horse armor does not have durability. This means a single leather horse armor can be used infinitely unless it is destroyed through other means.

Enchanting

Unlike player armor, horse armor cannot be enchanted in Survival mode. However, in Java Edition Creative mode, horse armor can be used with an anvil to enchant with Thorns, Feather Falling, Protection, Fire Protection, Projectile Protection, Blast Protection, Curse of Binding, and Curse of Vanishing. Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.

Dyeing

Leather horse armor can be dyed by combining it with dye(s) through crafting‌^{[JE only]} or by using it on a cauldron containing dyed water.‌^{[BE only]} Using leather horse armor on a cauldron containing ordinary water removes any dye from it.
