Watch: Blood-covered horses run amok in central London

Several people have been injured after the Household Cavalry lost control of their animals in the centre of the city.

Several military horses have been caught after going on a rampage in London; onlookers say the animals threw their riders and went galloping through the streets. At least four people have been hospitalized in the wake of the incident. Social media users have been sharing images of the blood-covered thoroughbreds crashing into cars and buses.

The incident occurred on Wednesday morning at 8:40am local time in the center of the British capital. Five horses belonging to the Household Cavalry were apparently spooked by noise coming from a construction site during their daily morning exercise on Horse Guards Parade, in Whitehall.

According to the Daily Mail, a total of five people were injured during the nearly two-hour-long rampage that spanned almost ten kilometers through central London. Of the four people who have been hospitalized, three are believed to be soldiers. None of the people who were hurt are reported to have sustained any life-threatening injuries.

One eyewitness recalled seeing one of the riders “screaming in pain” after he fell off his steed as it struck a car near the Clermont Hotel on Buckingham Palace Road.

“I saw a soldier falling down into the street after the horse ran into a car,” the witness told The Telegraph. “The man hit the floor hard, he was screaming in pain. You could see blood all over the parked car.”

Photos and videos shared online also show one of the horses ramming into a double-decker bus and smashing its windshield; another was seen crashing into a black taxicab. The frightened animals continued to run through the streets covered in blood after apparently being cut by the broken glass.

“They were running down the street at a very high speed. It was very scary,” another witness said, noting that “It’s rare to see horses stampeding down the street like that.”

In some of the pictures, some members of the public could be seen trying to help calm down one of the shaken horses, whose legs could be seen covered in blood.

By 10:30am, Metropolitan Police reported that all of the horses had been caught and accounted for. After being transported to veterinary care via army horse boxes, all of the animals are reported to now be back at the army camp.

“A number of military working horses became loose during routine exercise this morning. All of the horses have now been recovered and returned to camp,” an army spokesperson said in a statement, adding that the horses and personnel who were injured in the incident were “receiving the appropriate medical attention.”

  1. Bad and negligent riders. Going into town, one should be by all time attentive.
    Every change in routine surrounding spooks a horse.

  2. These horses are bred are trained to be able to cope with crowds and sudden noises. Having four startle, bolt and run amok is highly unusual and indicates some fundamental departure from the norm.

    • 5G sensitivities? Microwave dish antenna emission reactions?
      After all, we all now live in an EMF smog…
      Perhaps the white horse and the dark horse are prophetic signs?
      Maybe they were turned loose in order to abide by the ‘Playbook of Revelation’ as per the Globalist Deep State and Vatican TEOTWAWKI plans…
      Read the Books of Daniel, Revelation, Enoch and the Tablets of Thoth…it’s the ‘playbook’ that they are orchestrating earthly events from.
      Once you know the contents of these books, then you can plan accordingly. In the meantime,
      Go bush and remain the Gray Man / Gray Woman!

    • What surprises me and what i don t understand is that the riders were thrown out. When young i was privileged to get lessons from a police instructor ( guest instructor), and horses were used to bright lights, sudden noises , shouting , firework etc. To get used of crowds and demonstrations as the mounted police was used for policing crowds. And to stay master of your horse what ever happened. As a rider you learned to stay mounted, what ever happened. I suppose the same would apply to the military
