The Army statement said: “Of the seven horses which were spooked, five tried to bolt and four, Vida, Trojan, Quaker and Tennyson, broke loose. Two of the injured horses were operated on last night, with one transferred to an equine hospital. All remaining horses are being closely observed.
“Our horses receive the highest standards of care, and those that did not undergo surgery are expected to return to duty in due course.”
An Army source told The Sun that Vida was “lively” and had a history of being spooked. It is thought to have kicked a soldier in the head during the King’s Coronation.
