All about the ancient tribes
You don’t need a saddle to ride a horse, but you do need one on the horse to control it. For a pig, you need a saddle to ride it, but you can’t control it without a carrot on a stick.
Feeding a horse will make it easier to tame. They will eat wheat, hay bales, sugar, apples, bread, golden carrots, and golden apples. Mules are not found naturally in Minecraft.
In Minecraft, a saddle is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game. Most commonly, a saddle can be found inside a chest in a dungeon or Nether Fortress or you can catch a saddle while fishing.
Once you have one, using it is easy. Hold the saddle in your hand, and right-click a horse, donkey, mule, or pig. The first three of those will let you take the saddle off again by hitting the use button on the animal while sneaking.
To tame a fox in Minecraft, you need to make a brand-new fox; you need to convince foxes to breed, in other words. All you need to do this is to give one sweet berry to one fox, then give another sweet berry to the fox with whom you want it to mate.
Unfortunately, you cannot make a saddle, you have to find one. You can find them occasionally in chests around the world. Optionally, you can put Horse Armor on Horses (not Donkey’s or Mules). This also can only be found, not crafted.
