So, it used to be that you would breed horses, and the new horse would have a few empty hearts after you feed up the foal to adulthood using hay. These hearts would recover over time. Recently, the hearts no longer heal, and if I come back to the horse later the hearts just disappear. These weren't unusually healthy horses, just in the 12-14 range. They end up with something like 8 hearts.

I have unfortunately been helpless to avoid replicating this issue with every breed attempt between horses and donkeys and with donkeys and donkeys; in most of my cases, offspring matured with half of one to one hearts unfilled, which would eventually just disappear. Occasionally I breed one with 3 hearts missing. Unable to feed animals.
I just had this happen on my Realm. I bred two horses and their child had 14 hearts, 3 of which appeared empty/dark. I tried to heal it with apples but I just mounted the horse. If it took damage I could heal it, but only to 11 hearts. When I left the area and came back, the empty hearts were gone and the horse just has 11 hearts, so it seems like the max health is working correctly, it's just showing extra hearts that aren't really there.
Edit: Actually, I'm pretty sure this is decreasing the health of horse offspring, and the missing hearts represent hearts that should be there. I keep breeding two horses, one has 11 hearts and one has 13, And I'm consistently getting horses that have 10-14 hearts, but 3-5 of those hearts are missing. This is making it much more difficult to breed a great horse, which really sucks when a recent update was aimed to make horse breeding more viable.
I also have this issue on 1.14.1.
I bred 2 horses twice and created 2 foals. I fed both wheat until they were fully grown.
Both the new horses have 12 hearts but only 8 1/2 hearts are filled. They do not heal the rest over time (near hay or while riding). I injured one once by jumping off a roof, but it only healed back to 8 1/2 hearts.
Edit: After a little more play time the horses now have only 8 hearts with no extra unfilled hearts.
