Army horses loose on London streets

They must have been so scared. I hope no one has been seriously injured.

I hope both the horses and riders will be ok. Army horses (and police horses too) are extremely well-trained, but I know from experience that even the most 'bombproof' horse can be spooked.

It was the Household Cavalry. Five horses unseated their riders. Thought possibly spooked by builders moving concrete.

The army horse incidents were this morning. Nothing to do with Police use.

Watched the footage of the St George’s Day gathering on TV and the Police went in very heavy handed when there was really no need. Pity they didn’t show such action for other recent marches.

I thought they were Police horses.

It's unusual for army horses to be spooked like that. They're usually pretty "bombproof". I once rode an army horse when on an activity day. Even machine guns being fired just a few yards away produced no reaction in it or its companions. It must have been something quite unexpected that upset them today.

I saw that. One grey had blood all over its chest and a solder has been quite badly injured. I hope all are ok.
