Bloodied Horse Seriously Injured but Alive, Army Says
The white horse which charged through London streaked crimson by blood is in a serious condition but still alive, British military officials said Thursday.
Vida, technically known as a grey horse, is in an equine hospital after the dramatic incident in Central London Wednesday. Up to five horses either bolted or threw their riders after builders working on a construction site dropped a heavy load of concrete and rubble from height on an otherwise quiet street the horses were being ridden on.
The horses are all part of the Household Cavalry, a regiment closely associated with the king which provides ceremonial escorts at state occasions such as the monarch’s birthday parade.
