Better Horses
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Tutorial
Due to OptiFine having inconsistent updates and features, its recommended to use mods: EMF & ETF instead
If using OptiFine, make sure to enable these settings for complete features:
Video Settings -> Quality -> Custom Entity Models: ON
Random Entities -> ON
Emissive Textures -> ON
In order to prevent texture issues, Better Horses should be at the TOP of your Resource Pack list.
