Walking Horses
by Fishy_Dish
Walking Horses changes how horses move when a player rides them, so a horse no longer runs at one fixed speed by default.
What it does
Riding a horse normally produces a slow walk, about 70% of the usual speed. Holding the sprint key makes the horse run, and running horses gain an extra 30% speed boost while ridden. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Forge is the only loader, and files exist for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest build from 2025-10-11. The code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

What the author says
Tired of horses only having one set speed? This mod will fix that! If you ride on a horse normally it will just walk at a -70% speed, but it you hold your sprint key while riding they will be faster! Not only will your horses run while holding the sprint key but they also gain an extra 30% speed boost while riding!…
