Minecraft horse armor: tiers and how to get it

Horse armour protects a tamed adult horse, zombie horses included. There are six tiers: leather, copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite. Only leather can be crafted and netherite comes from upgrading diamond at a smithing table; the rest must be found in structure chests.

You equip it through the horse's inventory or by using it on the horse, and remove it from that inventory or with shears. Donkeys, mules, llamas and foals cannot wear it.

It has a huge advantage over player armour: no durability, so a single piece lasts forever. In exchange it cannot be enchanted in Survival. Its protection drops the harder the hit, but never below 20% of its maximum.

Leather horse armour can be dyed any colour, and water in a cauldron washes the dye out. Piglins are drawn to the gold kind and run to inspect it if you drop it. It cannot be displayed on an armour stand the way a horse wears it, though.
