When a zombie horse or a regular horse are spawned the player must first tame them by riding them, getting kicked and repeating until they produce heart particles and become tamed while when a skeleton horse from a skeleton trap is spawned the skeleton horse will already be tamed
Steps to produce:
spawn a zombie horse by typing /summon minecraft:zombie_horse
try riding the zombie horse
spawn a skeleton horse trap by typing /summon skeleton_horse ~ ~ ~ {SkeletonTrap:1b} and kill all the skeletons riding the skeleton horses
try riding one of the skeleton horses
Expected behavior: both will be untamed at first and will kick the player off until becoming tamed
What actually happens: the zombie horse is untamed while the skeleton horse is already tamed
