Three military horses from the prestigious Household Cavalry have been recovered after bolting through central London on Monday morning. The incident occurred during a routine exercise conducted by five soldiers with six horses from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. The lead horse, which was being led rather than ridden, was spooked by a passing London bus, causing it to bolt.

As a result of the sudden fright, the lead horse and two riders were separated from the group, leading to a chaotic scene as the animals ran freely through the streets of the capital. Fortunately, all three horses were swiftly and safely recovered by the soldiers.
