  • The British army has shared an update after military horses ran amok in central London after being spooked by falling rubble on Wednesday 24 April.
    Several Household Cavalry soldiers were thrown from their mounts before the animals bolted in the capital.
    In a video shared on social media, Lieutenant Colonel Matt Woodward confirmed that three soldiers "incurred injuries which are not deemed to be life-threatening" and are receiving treatment in hospital.
    The escaped horses have all been returned to Hyde Park Barracks, where they are undergoing veterinary care.

    Colonel, I'm an old American cavalry trooper.
    Please allow me to speak for your troopers and say THANK YOU for keeping your priorities straight. Soldiers first, always. As we both know, there is a type of officer who would worry about this accident's effect on their career first or worry about the equipment first or the public perception first. It appears that your command does not tolerate such behavior from leadership and I think every soldier can appreciate that.
    This is a professional and clear briefing for the public... the language is simple, the talking points are clear, filled with facts, and the key point is repeated twice: this is the number of soldiers injured, they are receiving professional care, all the mounts have been recovered and are likewise receiving care. EXCELLENT work, sir.

      They shouldn't act any differently around the horses than they would at any other time. Animals undergoing socialization that are deemed fit enough to be introduced to the field need to gain experience around the natural sights and sounds of the area that they will be expected to patrol.
      I train working K9s and horses in military and private sector applications, and I would be a bit miffed if everyone treated my animals with kid gloves when they are learning.
      It is the handlers' responsibility to keep the animals under threshold, not the people around them. This is not the fault of the construction workers.

    It should be noted that the sound of the building materials being dropped from height was right next to the horses, and he said it caused ALL horses to bolt. They are very fortunate that there weren't more riders unseated and that many more horses were not running through the streets of London. The others were lucky they stayed on. At least one of the horses that ran away didn't have a saddle on it. I do not know if that rider lost his or her seat, but it is understandable that it would have been very difficult in that circumstance to keep your seat and hold on to one or possibly two other horses that you were leading beside you. I hope everyone, human and equine, recovers quickly. Best wishes to all from Texas, USA.

    A few horses get spooked and run around in London for a bit and every newspaper and influencer is saying its dramatic and horrific 🙄
    And the army have to come out with a statement for everyone concerned wtf 😮
    Near to where i live the national park of Dartmoor lost many animals to careless drivers last year.
    Below is the numbers and personally this is horrific because nobody is talking about it or doing anything significant to stop this from happening.
    161 animals had been hit by traffic last year, of which 126 died.
    Of these 27 ponies were killed and 11 survived. While 84 sheep were killed and 20 survived and 15 cows were killed and four survived.
    These figures happen almost every year so we loose hundreds of animals in 5 years alone to stupid people driving to fast and without care.
    Four horses running around London gets national coverage while hundreds of animals get killed every year and nothing gets said.
    And if you think that blood on that horse was bad you should see the state the carcasses are left in while the foals and young of the animals that are hit watch thier mothers die Infront of them.
    That is a disgrace and disgusting.

      I guess it gathered so much attention because these are the king's horses part of the military (which is why they are the ones to come up with a statement) highly trained and used to cities so it's unusual that they would be this scared and uncontrolable. It happened in London too where there are a lot of people who witnessed it and shot footage. It must have been very spectacular though not in a good way.
      But the numbers you are citing are very sad indeed and i very much agree this problem deserves way more attention.

      @@PapaBurgandy111 😂 very amusing PapaBurgandy111 but I did mean their welfare, especially as one of the horses was shown injured and bleeding in the footage released today.

      Why do you believe you need to be informed of every detail.

    PLease update us on the condition of the horses especially the two that were hit and cut up and seriously injured - please don't pts even if they cannot work again..as they will be traumatised - but deserve to be cared for anyway.. Also hope the soldiers are all good and will be there for the people when needed! the way the people were there for them and their horses! !!

      If they cant work again they will go to the Horse Trust in Buckinghamshire. Check it out, loads of pics and details of the residents. I think all horses except for one are back at Hyde Park that includes Vida the Grey. The other one is in Hospital.

      Of course ALL will have PTSD ... We literally watched a "War Zone" reaction, and the horses running in FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES !! I do fear the shock suffered by ALL ... Guards and Horses, will take a long time to recover from ... sad to say.
