On Wednesday morning, several horses galloped through central London (see video above). They broke away during an exercise after being startled by construction noise. It has now become known that two of the animals required surgery.
The condition of Vida and Quaker, as they are called, is serious. One was taken to an equine clinic, the British Army said on Platform X on Thursday. “All other horses will be closely monitored.” The three soldiers involved in the incident suffered no lasting damage and should return to work.

Incidents extremely rare
Photos showed a dark horse and a white horse wearing a saddle and bridle but without a rider running down a street in London’s West End. Defense Secretary James Cartlidge said such incidents are extremely rare. The army moves through central London on horses every day, with an average of 150 animals per day.
