Runaway horses race through central London | BBC News

Four people have been taken to hospital after five runaway horses of the Household Cavalry threw off their riders and raced through London.
The horses, one of which was covered in blood, caused chaos as they roamed the city centre and collided with vehicles, including a double-decker bus and taxi.
They initially became spooked by loud construction during a routine military exercise in Belgravia, the Army said.
Officers said the horses had been recovered and returned to camp.

Don't blame the horses.

This lady gave really good information. I'm so proud of the public for calming that horse. Also, so pleased that they had vets nearby. Glad all human were okay too.

Beautiful animals hope they’re not too badly hurt.

[@jordyb57]

The horses are freaking gorgeous

The poor white horse, looks very injured, I hope both horses are being well cared for.😢

[@chrismckee5569]

Broke my heart to see that grey seeming so badly hurt. As a long time horse mum, it was horrible to see these beautiful souls so terrified and horrifically injured.

Horses natural instinct is flight once panicked. Hopefully they'll recover from their injuries.

That beautiful white horse covered with his/her own blood was heart-wrenching. I hope the gorgeous black horse is alright. That includes the humans who got in their way! Peace & love from Kathleen in California, USA

My heart just shattered seeing the stream of blood down the white one in those photos, and seeing how both were clearly frightened. 😢

I hope the horses get all the attention they need for a full recovery...❤

Many years ago in Coney Island a police horse was spooked by a revving motorcycle. The mounted officer warned everyone to step back and held on for dear life while maneuvering the horse over to another police horse that was calm, and his horse calmed down almost immediately.

These horses were terrified. Poor things - they need lots of recovery in a huge pasture not living on cement.

My heart breaks for those horses. Hope they are ok😢

[@shelleylyme6402]

That lady Jeanette was a very good guest - plainly an expert of experience and gave us the information without any personal grandstanding or showing-off! A very nice lady! 🤗

[@krisfinley6706]

I hope the bloody one is okay 😢

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

If the construction was loud enough to spook horses, imagine working there!
