2. Arrange your materials according to the iron horse armor recipe: place iron ingots and wool in the pattern shown in your recipe book

3. Drag the completed iron horse armor into your inventory

4. Equip it on a tamed horse by opening the horse's inventory and placing the armor in the dedicated armor slot

Why Use This Recipe

Instead of searching through dungeon chests for horse armor, you can now craft it as soon as you have basic iron tools. This lets you protect your horse early in survival mode, making it safer to travel and explore. Iron armor reduces damage your horse takes from mobs and fall damage.
