Horse Preview (PC 1.6)

minecraft-horses

Horses are currently planned for the 1.6 version of the PC version of Minecraft.

There are going to be a few different breeds of horses, kind of like the cats… There are 7 colors (gray, dapple gray, dark bay, bay, flaxen chestnut, buckskin, and black) of horses, and 5 different marking variations (no marking, stockings, snowflake appaloosa, pinto, and black blanket) giving a total of 35 different horses.

Once you tame a horse, and attach a saddle, you can ride a horse like you do your character. You can also put on horse armors and inventory!

Horses eat: apples, bread, hay, sugar and wheat, and are also available for breeding!

Definitely a cool addition to the game… 1.6 is on the way!
