A white military horse named Vida, who made headlines earlier this year for bolting through central London drenched in blood, has finally returned home after more than six months of recovery. The incident occurred on April 24 when Vida and four other horses became spooked by noise from a nearby construction site near Buckingham Palace during routine exercises. The horses ran for several miles through the city during morning rush hour, causing chaos.
Three of the soldiers who were thrown from their horses were hospitalized but were expected to return to duty. While three of the horses quickly returned to service, Vida and another horse required operations after colliding with vehicles during the stampede. The other horse, named Quaker, has yet to return to the regiment.
