'''Iron horse armor''' is the fourth-strongest tier of [[Minecraft:horse armor]]. Unlike other [[Minecraft:iron]] items, it cannot be [[Minecraft:craft]]ed and is only obtainable from [[Minecraft:chest loot]] in various [[Minecraft:structure]]s.

== Obtaining ==
{{LootChestItem|iron-horse-armor}}

== Usage ==
Only regular adult [[Minecraft:horse]]s and [[Minecraft:zombie horses]] can wear iron horse armor; baby horses, [[Minecraft:donkey]]s, [[Minecraft:mule]]s and [[Minecraft:skeleton horse]]s cannot be equipped with armor.

=== Equipping ===
Iron horse armor can be equipped to a horse either by manually placing it in its respective slot ({{SlotSprite|Horse Armor}}) in the horse’s inventory, or by pressing [[Minecraft:control|Use]] on the horse while holding it.

The iron horse armor can be removed either by manually removing it from the armor slot or by using [[Minecraft:shears]] on the horse.

=== Protection ===
When equipped, iron horse armor gives {{armor|5}} [[Minecraft:armor point]]s.

Horse armor protects [[Minecraft:zombie horses]] from burning in sunlight.

If a horse dies while equipped with iron horse armor, it drops its normal loot, a [[Minecraft:saddle]] (if it had one), and the horse armor.

=== Durability ===
Unlike player armor or wolf armor, horse armor does not have [[Minecraft:durability]]. This means a single iron 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}} Creative mode, horse armor can be used with an [[Minecraft:anvil]] to enchant with [[Minecraft:Thorns]], [[Minecraft:Feather Falling]], [[Minecraft:Protection]], [[Minecraft:Fire Protection]], [[Minecraft:Projectile Protection]], [[Minecraft:Blast Protection]], [[Minecraft:Curse of Binding]], and [[Minecraft:Curse of Vanishing]]. Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.

=== Smelting ===

== Sounds ==
{{:Horse Armor/Sounds}}
