Netherhorses, are they viable?
I guess this question would consist of two sub-questions. I'm currently unable to test this myself so I figured someone else probably already has or is willing to try this. I was wondering, since mobs can teleport through the nether-portal (since a few updates back,) is it possible to get your horse to follow you to this place of horror and disaster? And if the answer to that question is "yes" then i would also like to know if horses are affected by any slowing effects. In this example in particular I meant soul-sand, but I guess this would also count as potions, etc.

Can horses survive in the nether?
Yes, you can transport horses through the nether. I've successfully transported horses from one base to another via paths through the nether, avoiding oceans, so I know they can go through the gate.Can you bring a donkey in the nether?

It is impossible for a player to use a Nether portal while on a horse.

Once you've made two nether portals in the Nether connecting to two different places in the Overworld, you can make a minecart railway or a boat-way made of packed ice or blue ice to get from one to another for even quicker travel.2b2t Nether Horses...
