Seven leather

Cows drop leather. Seven hides cover this shape. That is the whole list for the leather set. Iron, gold and diamond horse armor sit in dungeon, desert temple, ruined portal and village chests.

A horse outline

Open the Crafting Table. Top: leather, empty, leather. Middle: three leather. Bottom: leather, empty, leather. One leather horse armor appears on the right; take it. The 2×2 inventory cannot hold this 3×3.

On a tamed horse

Tame a horse, open its inventory, and drop the armor in the horse slot. Donkeys and mules do not take horse armor. A saddle goes in the other slot if you want to ride. Horse armor does not stack.
