What I expected.
1. I use wheat or some other appropriate food that they are attracted to.
2. I right click them to have them enter 'love mode' and mate.
What actually happened:
I tried various foods and none of them attracted the horses (like wheat would for example) and all right clicking does is mount the horses.
I checked with a cow and it works fine for other mobs.
It's possible that Mojang hasn't implemented breeding for them yet.
Edit: Did a bit more testing and checked in survival mode and although they'll consume some foods, the result is the same.

To breed the horse, you need to ride it and feed it wheat

I believe they need to be tamed before they can be bred. Have you tried mounting them, and feeding them while mounted?
