Ever since the features of zombie horses were first announced I have struggled to find an area where someone would rather use a zombie horse vs. a regular horse. I first looked at the stats of each and found only one difference, the health stat of a zombie horse is locked in at 25 health points. The jump and speed are pulled from the same distributions as regular horses. A regular horse on average would have slightly worse health than a zombie horse but it has a chance to have better health. This means the best regular horse will always have better stats than the best zombie horse. In addition to this deficiency the zombie horse also burns in sunlight and will perish without horse armor. It cannot drown, but in this update they have given regular horses the ability to swim. So how could a zombie horse even out perform a regular horse. The answer is raids. In a raid witches throw instant harming potions that would damage a normal horse but the zombie horse and the husk camel will both GAIN health points from said potions. This is an incredibly unique situation but it made me happy that the zombie horse can have at least one moment to shine.
