Types

There are three types of Horse Armor in most versions of Minecraft: Iron, Gold, and Diamond. A fourth type of Horse Armor is Leather, and it is exclusive to Minecraft: Pocket Edition and Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. Horse Armor does not break over time like most Tools and Armor. Leather is the weakest, and despite Gold being the weakest armor material because of its low durability, Gold Horse Armor is slightly more effective than Iron Horse Armor. It provides more protection, and it is much rarer. Diamond Horse Armor is still the best type to use for protection when it comes to horse armor.

Protection Values

• Leather horse armor - 12%
• Iron horse armor - 20%
• Gold horse armor - 28%
• Diamond horse armor - 44%

Sources

Horse Armor can be found inside Dungeon chests, Village Blacksmith chests, Nether Fortresses , Desert Temples, and Abandoned Mineshafts. It can also be obtained by Trading with a Villager.

Leather Horse Armor can be crafted by players in Minecraft: Pocket Edition and Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition.
