Usage

Only regular adult horses can wear copper horse armor; baby horses, donkeys, mules, skeleton horses, and zombie horses cannot be equipped with armor.

Equipping

Copper horse armor can be equipped to a horse either by manually placing it in its respective slot (SlotSprite Horse Armor.png: Sprite image for Horse Armor in Minecraft) in the horse’s inventory, or by pressing use on the horse while holding it.

The copper horse armor can be removed either by manually removing it from the armor slot or by using shears on the horse.

Protection

When equipped, copper horse armor gives 4 (🛡🛡) armor points.

If a horse dies while equipped with copper horse armor, it drops its normal loot, a saddle (if it had one), and the horse armor.

Durability

Unlike player armor or wolf armor, horse armor does not have durability. This means a single copper horse armor can be used infinitely unless it is destroyed through other means.

Enchanting

Unlike player armor, horse armor cannot be enchanted in Survival mode. However, in Java Edition Creative mode, horse armor can be used with an anvil to enchant with Thorns, Feather Falling, Protection, Fire Protection, Projectile Protection, Blast Protection, Curse of Binding, and Curse of Vanishing. Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.
