Didn't expect that. Horses will be pretty cool, mounted combat can be much better. I wonder if they'll make anything new to further support combat with them, like a lance.
^ Was me when I got the news. (minus the fancy suit)
It felt like all my bodily energy was rushing to my head, my consiousnes of the real world faded for a breif moment, and it hit me like a ton of bricks; Horses have armor, and we can tie them to posts.
This will revolutionize Minecraft.

i can see enderpearls coming. they have a very slow travel speed.
im moving at 5 blocks a sec firing my bow
While riding a pig? No you're not. You lose controll of the pig very quickly after removing the carrot on a stick from your hand, and it takes a while to regain speed after it stops. Also, hitting anything while moving at 5 blocks a second is extremly hard, especialy because the pig moves where you look so you'll begin rushing towards your enemy at 5 blocks a second, giving them the chance to hit you.
Pigs have no place on the battlefield, horses will.

I dunno, I kind of like the horse armor texture...
They seem pretty impractical for combat though without some adjustments (assuming they behave similarly to pigs); they need to be immune to the rider's attacks, and they decrease the range of the sword so either Mojang will need to increase sword range while riding a horse OR add a new weapon that has longer range (it would fit in pretty well to add spears; longer, but less damaging). Mobs should also target the horse over it's rider (except for skeletons whom will judge which is the better target; if the horse is near death and nothing is attacking the horse, they go for the horse, otherwise they shoot the human).
After all, if they're impractical for combat, why give them armor?

Maybe, a lance would be less useful when you're on foot. Maybe, equivalent to a stone sword or something? But when you're on a horse, the damage scales higher and reach is farther.
I dunno, just an idea. Making combat for horses doesn't seem like an easy thing.
I am hoping that there is either some sort of evil version of the horse, or that if stacking entities: zombie or skele, they will direct the horse instead of just being a passenger.

maybe might work. could scale with the speed of the horse too.

well Skeletons can already ride spiders( spiderjocks are always fun)
i do agree with making them more one entity working together
Exactly. If they could make player armor look this good too, it would be awesome.
I'd agree with that.
OT, this is pretty exciting. Since in real life you can ride a horse and not use your hands, I'm hoping that we don't have to hold an item to run this (reins or something). Or if we do, we can go hands-free and just have lowered control over turning.

Using a bow on a pig is like being a sitting duck. You cant quickly get away. You dead. The pig is slow to climb up blocks and... your just dead. I mean, pigs stand out. Someone will see you, rush towards you, and kill you. Or they can kill your pig with one shot. There cntrol is terrible, you can't get away.(maybe on superflat but what pvp server is on superflat???)
i can see enderpearls coming. they have a very slow travel speed.
im moving at 5 blocks a sec firing my bow
also you take fall damage form pearls
so your basically hitting yourself trying to get to me
and if u want to talk full equipment
fire, infinity power V, knock back V bow
oh and a potion of swiftness and splash potion of weakness
also did you know pigs can outrun wither skulls
yea i agree. if we get horses.
at least give us different breeds with different uses
Praise be to Spode.
It's not really fair when you spawn enchanted items in.

says the person who was going to use enderpearls to caught me. lol

wither skeletons / zombie pigmen riding undead horses.
i dont think zombies would be smart enough to ride horses.
enderman riding enderhorses. ( super weird)
villagers riding horses. it would be soo funny
I'd agree with that.
