Dang! How many apples does it take to tame this thing. I've been sitting here for 15 minutes trying to tame one horse, and I still haven't tamed it yet.

Try using wheat instead. I think the horse using wheat with one try.

Yes, most of you are right. It does not work. I fed the horse about 30 apples, and it started rearing at me. I kept trying, but it did not work. And also, I think that you can only get sugarcubes in a mod.

I am playing in 1.9, but here is a youtube video for how to tame a horse in 1.8:

Thanks, and have fun taming your horse!
