That's good. Horses are put through such a lot, always have been. A horsey friend told me 'horses cannot take much'. She said they are gentle and sensitive and don't particularly like jumping, as evidenced by their staying in fenced fields, and yet they are forced into horrors like the Grand National. I had better stop right here as this will end up a long and upsetting rant.

Excellent news - I am so pleased that both horses are going to be ok and that the soldiers are too.

Very good news about the injured cavalry horses as it looked like the two which were loose for longest were the most injured. However, I read last week Vida was a mare.

A nice hopeful post worth bumping.

Glad to hear they're better. Poor things. Maybe they can retire to the countryside?

I wonder what spooked them so badly...

Good news. I hope the horses can be retired. Their mental wounds will take longer to heal than the physical ones.

“Two horses underwent surgery. One, Quaker, a Cavalry black, has shown significant improvement and progresses towards what is expected to be a full recovery,” the army said in a statement on X.

“The other horse, Vida, a grey, continues to make progress. He remains under close and careful professional veterinary observation as his wounds heal.”

The statement added: “Of the soldiers injured, two are still undergoing treatment in hospital but will make a full recovery. The remainder have returned to work.

Pleased to see the humans are going to be ok. The grey is still under observation and is improving.i didn't read that he would make a "full recovery" - maybe I missed a later statement though?

The 2 Cavalry horses that were injured in the London run-off, Quaker and Vida have gone through surgery and are expected to make a good recovery!

YESSSS!
