Another spooked Household Cavalry horse throws rider during military parade in London

This is the moment Household Cavalry horses were spooked during a military parade. Footage shows a horse rearing after it threw off a trooper on the same day a group of panicked horses ran wild through Central London. There was commotion among the crowd as a black horse appears unsettled and moves in a frantic manner. The horse is then seen walking away from the rider - lying motionless on the floor - with an empty saddle. A medic raced to treat the rider, surrounded by other military personnel and police officers as he lay on the floor. In a heart-warming show of support, the gathered crowd applauds as the wounded rider manages to get to his feet. #horse #london #military

Well done to the cameraman for being sensible, caring and respectful to the injured cavalry officer.

Doesn’t matter how highly trained you are, if that horse doesn’t want you on his back your not staying on his back

[carolynsimpson]

Not just one horse but every horse is agitated. These majestic creatures seem to be spooked by something we humans aren't in tune with.

Thankyou for being respectful and not filming the wounded soldier.

Anyone who knows anything about horses knows you don’t bolt towards one that’s just spooked with your arms flailing about like a muppet

When one horse gets spooked, it doesn’t take long for the rest to react. They are herd animals.

Okay, something is off here. These are very well trained horses who are around large groups all the time. Yesterday three horses bolt and one gets injured. Today this.

People don’t realise just how big these and the police horses are unless they have seen them in person.

All those horses are spooked you can tell with there manner something is upsetting them animals have a inner knowing when things are off. Keep safe every one .

The horses all looked stressed. They are shaking their heads . Is someone using a device in the crowd to do this? It needs to be checked out. I hope the Officer is alright..🙏

There is something that is unseen that is upsetting all these horses? Even long after the initial throwing of the trooper, the other horses never seem to settle down, after 3 mins they are all still throwing their heads with ears back and acting nervously. Not the small crowd, they're used to much worse.

It is always a possibility that either lasers or high-frequency sounds are being used to upset the horses.

[Naijella]

It seems like those horses are all agitated not just the one who threw his rider. Can horses hear something at a frequency humans can’t?

[padiedo]

THEM horse's know something is wrong ??? YESTERDAY then THIS ??? STRANGE !!!!

[gratitude]

When beautiful regal horses react like this it's a warning of things to come 🙏

[susangarbutt]

Something is not right with these beautiful horses . Why are they so stressed .

[simondobbs]

This is concerning. It could well be a deliberate act to spook the horses. I also note that the retractable bollards at Horse Guards are stuck, so the gate is not safe from attack by a vehicle. There is maliciousness afoot.

[doncoldwell]

Makes you wonder if the horses are being targeted by an ultrasound can hear in ultrasound frequencies we can't.

[kerryplatt]

there is a lot of head shaking from most of the horses, it can be a sign of excitement or frustration, poor animals are under a lot of stress at the end of the day.. the 2 runaway horses from yesterday are both in a serious condition and have both had to have surgery, (one of them is in the equine veterinary hospital) 😢 prayers for Quaker and Vida. I hope they both recover well from this 🙏

[victoriacharlesworth]

Is it something they are hearing that can’t be heard by humans??? Does someone have some kind of device? This MUST be investigated! The other horses are throwing their heads and seem distressed.
