Give skeleton horses more abilities!

So I have a skeleton horse in my world. One day, I decided to go on an adventure with him, and when I was about to go back to my bunker, a creeper blew us up and nearly killed the horse. So it got me wondering, “you should be able to put armor on skeleton horses.” Or at least give something for them to heal with! I was thinking milk or bones could heal them if they’re fed. So that’s all I really want, just for skeleton horses to be more like their living counterparts.
