How to tame skeleton in Minecraft

Q: Why cant I tame a skeleton horse?

Appearance

Skeleton horses do not have a flesh, but are covered with bones in all their body.

Skeleton Trap

Skeleton Traps are a kind of a trap for the player. Here's how it works:

While raining, a skeleton horse will spawn, doing nothing but just walking around.
If the player approaches it, automatically a skeleton will spawn riding the horse.
3 other skeleton horses and skeletons riding them will spawn too and will attack the player.

Notes

The skeleton horses will not attack, only the skeletons with their bows.

The skeletons will wear an enchanted iron helmet and will hold an enchanted bow too.

Taming

A skeleton horse can be tamed by killing the skeleton that is riding the horse. Then, the player will be able to tame it. A saddle is required, too.

Withers

Skeleton horses, unlike other mobs, have a unique reaction to Withers. If a horse is alive, a Wither will attack it. But if the horse is a skeleton horse, the wither will not attack at all. This is due to their "undead" status.
