This Minecraft tutorial explains How to Tame & Ride a Skeleton Horse in Minecraft with detailed screenshots and step-by-step instructed process.

One of the cutest peaceful mobs in Minecraft is definitely the Skeleton Horse. It is a variant of the horse and can be saddled and ridden just like the horse. He does not attack and with him you can be sure that you never have to defend yourself.
