Two horses seriously injured as they bolted through central London last week are making progress following surgery, Sky News reported.
Posting on X, the army said: “Quaker, a Cavalry black has shown significant improvement and progresses towards what is expected to be a full recovery.”
The grey horse, Vida, seen galloping through the streets covered in blood, “continues to make progress”.
The statement continued: “He remains under close and careful professional veterinary observation as his wounds heal.”
The Household Cavalry said the animals – which were taking part in what the army called a “routine exercise” in Belgravia on Wednesday – were said to have been spooked by builders dropping rubble from a height “right next to them”.
Five horses bolted, throwing off four riders and careering through the capital’s busy streets – colliding with vehicles, including one smashing into a double-decker bus.
A previous update said one of the horses was being treated in an equine hospital and the other was being cared for at the Household Cavalry barracks.
