Nope. Dupe of MC-89963

Fixing this would fix MC-89963

Other ways (besides cactus) to get the horse out of the boat:
(1) Destroy the boat with lava (that is quickly removed).
(2) Block the boat in place and pour water over the horse and boat.
sounds like MC-89963

WAI due to the fix of MC-89963
See MC-89963. Their hitboxes are too big; once they go in the boat, you have to jump through hoops to get out.
In the snapshot 16w03a and previous, the hitbox of the horse was larger than the hitbox of the boat (the boat sink more and the horse's legs is out for under the boat), making it impossible to break the boat if a horse is riding passenger (bug report MC-89963). In 16w04a, it was solved thereby... If a mob's hitbox is too big it won't go into boats, the horses can not be mounted on the boat (bug report MC-96212) but, in the snapshot 16w04a / 16w05a, if you get put a horse in a boat (for example, with commands), now you can interact with the boat... The boat hitbox is below the horse hitbox (you hit the boat down and the horse will disembark because the boat does not sink and the horse's legs are inside the boat)... So, it is not necessary that the horses can not be mounted on the boat.
Test:
/summon Boat ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[
]}
and, in creative or survival, you hit at the indicated place of the images or, directly under the boat (that is the area that can be hit).
I insist on this subject because the long explorations with transport (transport without infrastructure; minecart need infrastructure: rails, bridges, tunnels, etc.) in v1.9 would be ruined.
For example:
I ride my horse, I find the sea, I let my horse, I mount on a boat alone, I arrive another continent but without a horse...
Or:
I'll mining far from home, I fill the chest of my donkey, my house is on a remote island... I can not take my donkey.
For all these reasons... I think this bug report is important, I hope this bug report not will be labeled as "Works As Intended" and I think that the solution is not that horses can not be mounted on the boats; horses and boats are not problematic.
I do not speak English well, I hope the report is understood.
Thanks to everyone and special thanks to [Mod]redstonehelper and [Mojang]ProfMobius (present in other associated bug report).
Exactly the same issue as the closed and "resolved" MC-89963
Horse hitbox is larger than the boat. Horse will eventually get stuck in the boat when dragging on a leash after the boat (did take awhile). Boat nearly impossible to break without killing the horse. I was actually only able to hit the boat successfully once from beneath before the horse died.
Encountered on Survival Hard Mode, cheats disabled.
The bug
Horses, donkeys and mules can enter boats when they're babies. While inside of the boat, they can grow up, leading to adult horses in boats. As the hitbox of an adult horse is larger than that of a boat (see MC-89963), the boat can then only be entered from below.
To reproduce
- Place a boat
- Spawn a baby horse on top or next of it, so that it enters the boat
- Feed the horse with haybales

An adult horse sits in the boat
Original description
I played with friends and found a mistake. If you put a little donkey in the boat, and he grows up, then you will not be able to break down or get into the boat without killing the donkey or flooding the boat.
Hello Draco please see MC-89963
It is possible to get the horse out of the boat by placing blocks underneath and around the boat, removing the water from the enclosure, and then carefully destroying the boat with lava. Not really a practical workaround, but it will do if your favorite horse is stuck.
Confirmed for me.
Confirmed on OS X. (15w43c)
Also a "less aggressive" workaround from the lava solution... if a block of water can be placed 3-4 blocks directly above the boat-with-horse, the horse will dismount as the boat is forced under water. Both may then be interacted with as expected.
Still an issue in 15w44a. Can't right click the boat to enter it or left click it to break it,
Confirmed for 15w44b.
Still an issue for 15w45a.
Definitely confirmed for 15w45a. I did eventually get my donkey out of the boat, got in and then entered the boat before getting my donkey in. Needless to say, the donkey completely covered my vision. I laughed for about 5 minutes before hitting F5 and taking off.
For people who google for how to get their horse out and end up here, here's a short video of one of many ways how to get your horse out of the boat without killing it before the bug us fixed:

Confirmed for 15w46a.
Confirmed for 15w47c. I also tried being under the boat but I still hit the horse.
Here is a screenshot of the hitboxes
Then why not this? .
Unless you are in Survival.
Confirmed for 16w02a.
Getting it in 16w02a as well, though I've found if you put in a second passenger, such as a squid or a chicken, it offsets the horse enough to safely break the boat.
Confirmed for 16w03a
16w04a: It is now barely smaller; from what I can tell, you need to punch at the very bottom outside corner of the boat, which doesn't appear to be part of the boat (look with F3+B). Is still kinda annoying IMO.
16w04a: The solution IS NOT that horses can not be mounted on the boats ¬¬. Unfair to the players!.
This happens: So... I ride my horse, I find the sea, I let my horse, get on a boat, get to another continent but without a horse... Absurd.
The long explorations with transport in v1.9 ruined again.
I think this report should be reopened for "bad solution".
Sorry for telling the truth xD.
That's not the problem here, the problem here was that you couldn't interact witha boat if a horse entered it, so they made horses unable to enter to fix that.
If you can't cross a ocean with a horse and boat now, make a bridge, find other means of crossing the ocean.
16w04a / 16w05a: if you get put a horse in a boat (with commands), now you can interact with the boat ... The boat hitbox is below the horse hitbox (you hit the boat down and the horse will disembark)... So, it is not necessary that the horses can not be mounted on the boat

Heh, like if I'd seen an iPhone... if a feature doesn't work just right, disable it all together. Fixing stuff cost money. Disabling is free! YAY!
The problem of not being able to transport a horse in a boat could be solved by making it so that the Frostwalker enchantment works when riding a horse, in that way you could ride atop a frosted ocean with your horse.
So if I understand correctly, the fix to this problem was to not allow entities with hitboxes larger than that of a boat enter it? So here I was transporting a baby horse in a boat, but now it grew up... What should I make of that? Apparently their hitboxes were tweaked a little allowing us to interact and consequently break boats from underneath. Still not to allow adult horse to enter boats while allowing baby horses in boats to grow into adult size makes no sense to me. And that while it seems like interacting with a boat (while troublesome from underneath) is possible?
So either this bug report or 96212 should be reopened.
