Horse Power
by Lyzev
Horse Power changes how horses breed and train, and players who keep a stable of mounts can use it to shape their foals.
What it does
Horse Power focuses on breeding. The mod is aimed at players who want to plan horse lines rather than rely on chance, and it speeds up and simplifies the breeding process. Players who spend time on horses in survival worlds will notice the difference when they set up pairs.
Installation needs Fabric or Quilt with Fabric API on either loader, and Mod Menu is required to reach the mod's settings. Players need the mod, while a server may run it for extra features, so the server side is optional. Horse Power is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Builds cover 1.21.4 – 26.2 across three release versions, with 1.1.0 for 26.2 as the latest file for both loaders.
Key features
Efficient breeding
Breeding takes less effort, so players can produce the horses they want without long waits at the stable.
Balanced horse traits
The Perfectly Balanced Horses approach sets how foals inherit speed, jump and health, making outcomes easier to predict.
Configurable settings
Options adjust how the breeding system behaves, and players reach them through Mod Menu.
Pasture and stable use
Horses kept in pastures and stables can be bred in the same way, supporting ranch-style setups.

Use cases
Building a breeding ranch
Players who want a specific line of horses can plan pairings across a pasture instead of breeding at random.
Server breeding hubs
Server owners can run the mod to give players a faster breeding loop in shared worlds.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who keep several horses and want more control over breeding. Server owners who run a horse economy or a shared pasture can also use it, since the server side is optional.
How it compares
Galloping Horses is a client-side only Fabric mod under the MIT License, covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, so it changes only the player's own game. Whistlebound Horse is a client and server Fabric mod under the MIT License for 1.21.1 – 26.2, so it must be installed on both sides. Horse Power sits between these: the client needs it and the server may add it.

What the author says
Ever wonder if your horse is more of a galloping champion or a pasture potato? Installing the mod on a server is only necessary if you want to disable the search function (because it uses a glow effect, which could be seen as unfair advantage). If you don't want to disable the search function, you can skip this…
