The fire protection enchantment does not apply to horse armor

Unlike the general protection enchantment, the fire protection enchantment doesn't work when applied to horse armor and equipped on a horse. It doesn't mitigate damage from fire, magma blocks, campfires, or lava, nor does it decrease the duration of the horse's burning effect.
