Horse Variant List (Java Edition)
In Minecraft, there are 35 different variants of horses. Each variant will determine the base color of the horse and its markings. Within these variants, there are basically 5 different breeds of horses:
- Solid-color
- White stockings and blaze
- White patches
- White dots
- Black sooty
These variants can then be used in the /summon command to spawn a horse with a specific appearance.
