Near catastrophic high speed horse chase through the streets of Central London

Ack! NO death or grievous bodily injury...

I thought these horses were well trained. This wouldn’t have happened during Elizabeth’s rein [sic].

Was the blood from the horse or a human ??

OI! LOUD BUILDER!

This is triggering traumatic memories of our high speed chase through the streets of Manhattan!

It was just a publicity stunt for the West End’s new environmental production of Equus.

Were the horses rescued?

Oh no! Were the Harkles in town?

The blood was from at least one horse. A white one is seen galloping covered in blood from a collision with a vehicle. Be aware when you scroll through, it might be upsetting. All were recovered and are under veterinary care.

Building materials were dropped from a height at Buckingham and landed right by tge horses. That would freak out the best train horse or human. I assume they're going to investigate.

Repent! The Apocalypse is here!

But there were no RIDERS on the horses of doom, r12.

Doesn’t that negate the Apocalypse?

What a rude thing to say about the Free Palestine girlies?

Dollface thread.

Where have all the cowboys gone?

Smash-up face thread.

I told Camilla not to sniff that powder.

The unhorsed guys probably took bad falls. I thought they trained their horses better. A NY Police horse has to train for riots. Can't imagine a little building spill bothering them.

Sex and the City: London Calling!

Panic on the streets!

[QUOTE]The Household Cavalry provides the so-called Sovereign’s Escort, seen at ceremonial events such as Trooping the Color, state visits, and other royal occasions.

Maybe these horses received different training than police horse counterparts that are used in riot and crowd control? Apparently, this is routine a routine exercise through the area.

One of the soldiers is described as screaming on pain from injuries after hitting the pavement. I hope it's not serious.

Few things are more awful than runaway horses. Fight or flight and they are unstoppable until collapsing. It’s always so dumb to see people standing in front of them waving their arms, even at horse venues where you’d think they would know better. Very little you can do unless they’re on a track with outriders.

Make horse steaks out of those deserters.

r19 Because this could never happen in New York right?

r19 Nope nothing like this would ever happen in New York

R25, I'm still not convinced corned beef isn't actually horse meat.

I forgot DL blocks text from Independent posts. In short, one of the horses is in bad shape..

R24 Dame E. Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Burton Warner Fortensky could handle a stud!

[quote]It was heartbreaking to see a one-tonne horse like that in so much pain.

This can't be right, can it? A British "tonne" is even more than an American "ton."

No one has asked me if I'm ok.

Two of the horses have undergone operations. It's no clear if they'll return to duty.
