Horseman - Enhanced Horse Riding in Minecraft
The Horseman mod fundamentally improves interaction with horses and other rideable animals in Minecraft, making horseback riding more convenient and realistic.
Main Features
Quick Animal Tethering
You can now tether a horse to a fence by simply clicking on it while mounted. A special leash slot has been added to the horse's inventory for this purpose. When the leash is removed, it doesn't get lost but remains in the slot.

Copper Horn for Summoning
Requires version 1.21+ The copper horn returns! You can now bind a horse to a specific horn sound and summon it from anywhere in the world. Different players can use the same sound for different horses - the animals can distinguish who exactly is blowing the horn.
Mounted Swimming
Horses have learned to swim! Press jump (spacebar) while in water. Camels, skeleton horses, and zombie horses cannot swim by default, but this can be configured through the entity tag #horseman:cannot_swim.
