Usage

 

Desensitization items are used to make a horse resilient to 'scary' stimulus and improving the trust (connection) with their rider. In game, use of desensitization items increases a horse's Affinity. 

To use any of these items, right click a SWEM Horse while holding the item. Initially they will respond with Red (Angry) particles and could buck or rear, indicating they are frightened. As you continue to right click, eventually they will emit Gray (Meh) particles to show the item is tolerated - you will receive no Affinity.

You can only use one desensitization item each (Minecraft) day for a scaling Affinity boost. The item can be used up to 7 times per day. After 3 days of consecutive use, horses will become accustomed to it and cannot receive any more affinity with that specific item.

Affinity EXP (Per use)

 

A frightened and bucking horse can harm nearby entities. Nearby SWEM horses may kick out if harmed, and can initiate a fatal 'kick-off'. It is recommended you use desensitization items in a controlled area such as an arena or stall.
