In Minecraft, skeleton horses have 26.5 hearts of health. This will give a skeleton horse 53 points of health at any time. If you need to kill it, you will lose 53 points of damage. In Minecraft, the skeleton horses usually appear when the horse is stuck by storm or lightning. If you are having any difficulty in finding one, then you can use spawn w=egg to call or find the skeleton horse.
