Horse Breeding Mechanics in Minecraft

Once you have tamed a pair of horses, it is advisable to construct a fenced enclosure for them. By feeding each horse a Golden Apple or Golden Carrot, you may witness hearts appearing above their heads, signaling the potential for a new foal. To promote the growth of the offspring into an adult horse, ensure it receives proper nourishment. It is also recommended to wait at least five minutes before attempting to breed the horses again.
