Five military horses were said to have been spooked by the noise of construction rubble being dropped nearby, sparking chaos in central London.

Two horses seriously injured as they bolted through central London last week are making progress following surgery, the British Army has said.

Posting on X, the army said: "Quaker, a Cavalry black has shown significant improvement and progresses towards what is expected to be a full recovery."

The grey horse, Vida, seen galloping through the streets covered in blood, "continues to make progress".

The Household Cavalry said the animals - which were taking part in what the army called a "routine exercise" in Belgravia on Wednesday - were said to have been spooked by builders dropping rubble from a height "right next to them" .

Five horses bolted, throwing off four riders and careering through the capital's busy streets - colliding with vehicles, including one smashing into a double-decker bus.

UK risks being unable to call up vital personnel without national plan for war, says military analyst
