Hostility Level (Hostile)
The Four Horsemen are hostile mobs. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and the Four Horsement. Because the Four Horsement are hostile mobs, they will attack you in Survival mode but not Creative mode.
Health Points
In Minecraft, the skeletons have 10 hearts 
for health and the skeleton horses have 7.5 hearts for health. This gives the skeletons 20 health points and the skeleton horses 15 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill each skeleton, you need to inflict 20 points of damage. To kill each skeleton horse, you need to inflict 15 points of damage.
Where to Find the Four Horse
In Minecraft, you can find the Four Horsemen in the Overworld. If you are having trouble finding the Four Horsemen, you can summon the Four Horsemen using a cheat.
Weapon
The four skeletons in the Four Horsemen are armed with enchanted bows and arrows as a weapon.
Attack Method
In Minecraft, the four skeletons in the Four Horsemen can shoot arrows at you from a distance making it tougher to kill.
Drops
When you kill the Four Horsemen in Minecraft, they may drop one or more of the following items: a bone, enchanted bow, or arrow. And in rare circumstances, one of the skeletons in the Four Horsemen may drop an enchanted iron helmet.
Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear. They are useful and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
Experience Points
As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.
These orbs represent experience points. When you kill one of the skeletons, you will gain 5-7 experience points. When you kill one of the skeleton horses, you will gain 1-3 experience points.
