Horse armor[note 1] is a special type of armor that can be given to a horse to wear. Only normal horses can wear armor; donkey, mule and undead variants such as skeleton horses and zombie horses cannot be equipped with armor. Horse armor decreases damage done to horses when hit by melee attack or a ranged attack from the player or another mob. Horse armor does not decrease the fall damage of a horse or its speed when worn.
