In Minecraft, horses can eat a variety of foods that can help them recover health, grow faster, and even breed. Here are the foods that horses can eat in Minecraft:

• Sugar
• Wheat
• Apples
• Golden Carrots
• Golden Apples
• Hay Bale Blocks

Feeding a horse with the correct food will not only increase its health points but also increase the temper attribute of the horse. This is important if you want to tame a horse in Minecraft. To feed a horse, hold a valid food item and press use on the horse. Feeding invalid food causes the player to mount the horse. Horses can be fed only when feeding would have an effect. For example, if a horse was at full health, it could not be fed anything but breeding items while a baby horse can always be fed items which help it grow.
