I thought with 1.5.x old texture packs were supposed to work better with newer versions with items/blocks they didn't have textures for.
When you used a texture pack without the horse hearts with 13x16a, the default texture isn't used but some pink grid pattern.

I'm speaking of the texture pack format. Pre 1.5 texture packs won't load-- just like they won't load in 1.5.x. You can convert any old pack to the 1.5+ format. How old the art is in the pack is irrelevant.

As these textures are neither blocks OR items this would be sadly one of those cases where this will be a problem.
We might be able to put them in another file so you wont have this issue though. We'll look into it.
The texture for all the bars(health, horse health, hunger, exp, jump, ect.) are all in the same file. since the texture pack is from before horses, there is no texture for it, but instead a purple "Missing Texture" texture (It was used in the old terrain.png). The game uses that as the texture.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 / Launcher version 1.5.3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
I think this is a duplicate of MC-13952, but this one describes this issue more clearly.
