 Description   

What doesn't work in MCPE
Skeleton horses can not be saddled and horses when fed wheat do not show hearts. The ride button appears, and the player can mount the horse, but the saddle can not be applied. Have been waiting for this bug to be fixed since the polar bear update, but it hasn't been fixed. Decided to post bc horses are the most important thing to me in the game.

What doesn't work in Minecraft Windows 10 Edition
Horses when fed wheat do not show hearts. Skeleton horses can be saddled, but the saddle doesn't appear on the horse and you cannot ride the horse until you open your inventory by pressing E while on the horse.

I'm experiencing the same problem as Mega_Spud. I want to place armor on my skeleton horse or maybe even a chest but I cant saddle or even open the horses inventory. Please tell me this is getting fixed because skeleton horse is the strongest one of them all. thought I was dumb, glad I'm not the only one experiencing this

I'm pretty sure that undead horses can only be saddled with commands.

This possibly works as intended because you can already ride a skeleton horse without a saddle and direct it's movement.

Still an issue as of 1.2.0.2 - Cannot open skeletal horse inventory, but they can be ridden without a saddle.

Thanks for the help. I was not aware of the new way to saddle horses. I feel very dumb 😂

For the person posting this bug. For regular horses, click the inventory button, after you tame the horse, and then you will be able to equip the saddle.

It works, however skeleton horses can't be saddled. The option to saddle them is there, but the saddle can't be placed

Have you tried using the inventory (...) button? That is how saddles are applied now.
