Runaway horses race through central London | BBC News

share



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.

  1. Such beautiful animals.

  2. They are so beautiful. Hope the grey is okay.

  3. horses very very spooked and frightened.

  4. It's the Mauling and crowding by tourists that causes them to freak out .Guards allow people to get too close. Touch the horses. Are they NOT Soldiers? Keep tourists away. Or enforce the Rules.

  5. A horse is a horse a horse of course unless the horse is the famous Mr Ed..

  6. Once a horse is spooked and runs, it keeps on running in terror!!!

  7. of course its rampaging horses & the horses fault it happened nevermind the cause that spooked the horses or whatever. Its just crazy horses throw riders from the military & rampage through the streets of london. Its not the horses fault but clearly they'll be blamed. Cars taxis & stuff are insured & can be replaced animals like horses not so much. If it rampaging skunks or bulls ok I get it buts were friendly well trained animals & someone or something clearly spooked them & for it to be not just one horse spooked but multiple makes it even more clear it wasn't the horses fault.

  8. Oh my god, these poor horses. Absolutely heartbreaking watching this. What a miserable existence for all of the cavalry horses.

  9. Dear God the white horse wit the blood all over it. So very sad.

  10. Only humans enslave other animals for war, persecution and cruelty. No, only some humans.

  11. Ghastly. Human beings should be ashamed of themselves.

  12. Beautiful animals wow

  13. Amazingly they both survived and are fine.

  14. I am very happy that the horses are doing well so far but what about the soldiers???Thanks to all passersby who immediately took care of the soldiers 🙏🫶

  17. horses want to be in the field not with a dumbass on their back marching for an army who they dont give a flying monkey about

  18. Bleeding horses😢😢😢

  19. Yep that is in your nightmare

  20. Off to the glue factory

  21. Occult Ritual !!

  22. Why would the sight of a running horse be upsetting? Who is that fragile and how would such a person exist in this modern world?

  23. OH NOO. REACCIONAN ASI, PORQUE ALGO NO ESTA BIEN CON ELLOS.
    LOS ANIMALES SON SENSIBLES, TAMBIEN SE CANSAN, NO SON OBJETOS PARA USARLOS PARA CUMPLIR TAREAS LARGAS, DEBEN SER TRATADOS CON AMOR, RESPETO, DIGNIDAD, CONSIDERACION DEBEN TENER PERIODOS DE DESCANSO.

  24. I hate when fear, rules the day. at least the horses will be taken care of

  25. Hope the horses are ok😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  26. When they were running, they seem so happy!!! They want to be free, they don't want to work because its not their duty!!!

  27. Poor horses why they are using them in cities knowing that horses are very nervous animals. It was so sad to see them bleeding i think is time we realise that is so cruel to expose horses to so much stress and terror.

  28. They are the most beautiful animals!

  29. That's me running from people who annoy me

  30. Probably dumb tourist doing!!!

  31. This is what happens when pomp and ceremony take the place of common sense. Will you now stop the ridiculous unecessary horse guard 💂‍♂️ dim witted monarchy.

  32. Very simple….horses don’t belong in a city. They should be in the country where there is grass.

  33. Que lindos estos caballos que creo jehova que elegantes dice la biblia

  34. "They thought they were getting chased by lions and packs wolves." she's so cruel 😢

  35. I respect the guards 💂‍♂️ they are loved by their horses something must have been weirder then normal mark my word I bet on it. Prayers for horses and guards 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

  36. This is the most British thing to ever get on the news

  37. Konji pobegli od onih koji ih jašu jer konj konja da jaše previše je

  38. I hope all the horses and people are okay!!! Oh my gosh!!!😢

  39. They make a sausage out of them, and feed to other horses, to show them what happens if they not calm

  40. Something doesn't add up. If these horses were running in "a blind panic", why weren't they frothing at the mouth, sweating, or showing the whites of their eyes? And how could untrained bystanders "calm them down" without any resistance from the horses? No rearing, pulling away, nothing?

  41. Good for the horses…running free!! ❤️ They’re so abused by the guv.

  42. Ohhh that poor grey!! Even his nose was bloody. 🙁
    Ugh, just saw the pooling of blood under the black. Poor babies.

  43. Hahaha Hehehe Hahaha … Whatever is Said .. Horses are Horses … What Say You ???

  44. Excersises to induce artificial hunger EVENT ,,FOOD ALERT''.

  45. The horsmen of the apocalypse 2 are already among us,plague,war,3 rd famine will come and then the 4 death.
