Injured King’s Troop horses and riders recovering after incident in London

King’s Troop horses who were injured in an incident in London this week are expected to make a full recovery, the Army has confirmed.

While they were being exercised in the Woolwich area on Monday morning (11 January), horses from the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery were spooked, it is believed by a car, and ran loose. A number of soldiers fell and were injured.

An air ambulance and the Met Police came to the scene but the former was not used as none of the riders’ injuries were serious.
