Rare Incident: Household Cavalry Horses Run Through London Streets, Undergo Surgery Following Scary Escape.

The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, which has been in charge of the Royal Guard horses for over 300 years, experienced a rare incident on Wednesday when two of their horses ran scared through the streets of London. The two Royal Guard horses, Vida and Trojan, caused a dramatic spectacle as they ran scared through the busy city streets. Unfortunately, both horses were in serious condition and had undergone surgery.

Vida, the white horse that was seen soaked in blood during the incident, is currently hospitalized in an equine hospital following the operation. Defense Minister James Cartlidge informed the public that three of the horses were fine but two were in relatively serious condition. Despite this, all horses are still alive and being closely monitored by veterinarians. Four soldiers were also knocked from their mounts and hospitalized but are expected to make a full recovery and return to duty soon.

The incident occurred when the horses heard a noise of cement being dropped from a construction site. This caused them to bolt and escape from their handlers, leading to a chaotic scene on the streets of London. While Vida and Trojan caused damage as they ran through traffic, all captured horses were eventually returned to Hyde Park barracks.

The Army trains with approximately 150 horses every day, making this incident exceptionally rare. The horses had been preparing for an upcoming military parade and event when they were frightened by the sudden noise. Despite the chaos, there were no serious injuries to the public or other animals involved in the incident.

Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment Colonel Matt Woodward emphasized that the horses receive the highest standards of care and that those not requiring surgery are expected to return to duty soon. The Army expressed gratitude for the concern shown towards the soldiers and horses involved in
