Military horses bolted in London

At least one horse obviously injured; may not want to see (horse is up and running, but lots of blood).

All horses now accounted for/in care.

Glad every is going to be OK. Sounds like it was a scary time.

I hope the grey is okay. That appeared to be a lot of blood on it, but then blood does show up really well on grey.

I’m so glad that the horses, riders, and people nearby were not seriously injured, but what a terrible scare.

A reminder that even the best-trained “parade horses” can still spook when something unexpected occurs. Definitely a credit to the calvary that these incidents are so rare!

That was an impressively quick response from the Army. And what total idiots to drop building materials from a height as horses went past.

Good grief. All the way from Belgravia to Limehouse? That’s a long way. Poor horses. I hope everyone will be OK.

There’s a longer thread on the HHO forum where a user has posted a few updates. The grey, Vida, is said to be “comfortable” this morning but nothing has been said about the other horses yet.
