Remember the five horses that bolted through the streets of London in April? Well, it’s happened again.
This time three horses from the same Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment “became loose from their riders” while six were exercising on Monday morning, a spokesperson for the U.K. Ministry of Defence told the BBC.
According to the BBC and other media outlets, all horses were caught “swiftly and safely.” The spokesperson indicated that during this second event, the lead horse was being led by hand and broke loose after being spooked by a London bus. And as we horse people know, when one horse spooks, a chain reaction can occur, which apparently happened. Two horses which were being ridden under saddle tossed their riders and took off after the first.
