More Information
##### Pathfinding
Horses naturally seek to avoid (while wandering) harmful blocks such as lava, magma, cactus and sweet berry bushes etc.
##### Hostile Mobs
Horses are not a target of most hostile mobs, unless indirectly while ridden by a player (ie shot by a skeleton). They can be direct targets of Zoglins and Withers, and any hostile entities from other mods that use a similar hostility logic.
##### Fall Damage
Horses take fall damage from any drop greater than 9 blocks. This limit increases to 11 with ** GOLD TIER HORSE ARMOR **
Horses cannot die to fall damage unless their health is below the maximum damage cap of 7.0 , or 4.0  with gold+ horse armor, or they sustain damage from another source shortly after taking a dangerous fall.
---
##### Dragons Breath
Horses may **not** avoid Dragon's Breath if left unsupervised or idle wandering in the End dimension.
Dragon's Breath is extremely hazardous and can result in a buck and rearing loop that makes it very hard to escape!
The following are recommended before going to the End with a horse (if Dragon is not defeated):
- [Horse Armor](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/horse-armor) of any tier except leather reduces damage per second by half.
- [Horse Armor](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/horse-armor) of Amethyst tier (flight) reduces dangers of ground-based combat.
- [Health Boosters](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/health-booster) increase maximum health to extend time they can sustain damage.
- Healing supplies such as [Horse Heal Potion](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/horse-heal-potion) to quickly treat low health.
Immortality is a command-only function and prevents further skill gain while active.
Horses can receive immunity to **ALL** damage using `/swemlite horse immortal` to toggle "immortality" on or off.
---
#### **Additional**
- Horses use a "sad" animation when their health is low to visually communicate the need for care.
- Horses may "flee" from or after taking damage, but this is usually very brief and ineffective.
- Horses can kick or buck when taking damage, this can harm nearby entities and players.
