My two horses just won't breed. I've tried golden apples, golden carrots and normal carrots. I've tried with many horses but it doesn't work!! Am I doing something wrong? They're both tamed as well.



Best Answer

You should just have to right click two tamed horses with either golden carrots or golden apples. This should work as long as they haven't been bred within the last 5 minutes

    Horses have a taming cooldown of 5 minutes; if you have tamed them in last 5 minutes, you need to wait a bit.

    Answer 3

    There is a breeding limit. Say you have a farm and breed sheep, chickens, cows, or pigs. You need to kill some of the animals you bred in order to breed the horses. I made this mistake when I was new to minecraft and wasted several golden carrots.

    Answer 4

    Horses need to have enough space to breed! That fixed the issue for me. I had a pretty small enclosure for them and it just wasn’t working
