With videoTwo of the horses that ran amok in central London on Wednesday are in serious condition. Various British media report this. The British capital was startled on Wednesday by five horses that broke loose and galloped through the streets.
Defense Minister James Cartlidge speaks to the British channel Sky News of ‘dramatic news’. “All five horses have been found. Three of them are fine, two are in very serious condition, but they are still alive.”
The horses belong to the stables of the British royal family. The animals had broken free during an exercise. The horses of the Household Cavalry are trained for months by the army. The animals are also trained on the streets of London so they can get used to heavy traffic and loud noises, including gun salutes and military bands.
“The army trains with horses every day in central London,” Cartlidge said. “On average, about 150 horses are training every day. So this scenario is exceptional.”

Lt. Col. Matt Woodward of the Household Cavalry said in a video message on The horses stripped themselves of their riders and then ran through the streets of London.
Three soldiers were among the wounded. They were taken to a hospital, but their injuries are not serious. A fourth soldier who fell from his horse was unhurt. A taxi and a tour bus, among others, were damaged when the horses collided with them. According to the minister, no bystanders were injured.
