HorseInABoat is a lightweight Minecraft quality-of-life mod that lets horses and other horse-type mobs ride in boats.
It makes travelling across rivers, lakes, and oceans easier without changing the core feel of vanilla Minecraft.
HorseInABoat supports:

Normal boat movement and passenger behaviour still work as expected.
HorseInABoat is available for:

It keeps the change focused and close to vanilla without adding new transport systems or changing how horses work outside boats.
