The five military horses that bolted and injured themselves as they ran loose through central London in April are expected to return to duty, with three of them already back to work.
The five military horses that bolted and injured themselves as they ran loose through central London in April are all expected to return to duty, the British Army said Tuesday, with three of them already back to work. The horses were performing routine exercises near Buckingham Palace on April 24 when they became spooked by noise from a nearby building site and galloped loose through the capital's streets, crashing into vehicles and causing chaos during the morning rush hour.
The horses appeared 'in good spirits,' the army added. The soldiers who were injured after being tossed by the horses are also recovering and will likely return to military service, officials said. The horses were part of the Household Cavalry, the ceremonial guard of the monarch and a feature of state functions in London. Video of the animals running wild and stunning commuters on their way to work were widely shared on social media.
