How to find Horse
Plains and savannas in herds of 2-6, all the same base color with varied markings. Villages also generate with horses in stables and pens.
Spawn conditions: Herds of 2-6 in plains and savannas; 20% spawn as foals. All 7 base colors and 5 marking patterns are equally likely, with the herd sharing one color.

How to kill Horse
Drops 0-2 leather plus its saddle and horse armor if equipped. It never fights back, but a tamed horse is worth far more alive than as leather.
Behavior
Each horse rolls random speed, jump strength (up to about 5 blocks) and health at spawn, and foals inherit a blend of their parents stats. Taming works by temper: mount with an empty hand, get bucked off, and each attempt adds 5 temper until it beats the horse hidden threshold and hearts appear. Only tamed horses accept a saddle, horse armor and breeding. Feeding apples, wheat or hay bales raises temper and heals.
Taming and breeding
Tame by mounting repeatedly (feeding first helps). Breed two tamed horses with golden apples or golden carrots; the foal takes 20 minutes to grow, sped up with food.
