    Three escaped Army horses have been rounded up after breaking free from their regiment and hoofing it through the streets of London.

    The lead horse in a group of six was spooked by a bus during a routine exercise of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment on Seville Street, near Hyde Park Barracks, on Monday morning.

    The horse, which was led rather than being ridden, easily got loose, prompting two other horses to throw off their riders.

    The animals then bolted southwards down plush residential streets in Knightsbridge.

    A driver’s dashcam footage appeared to show one of the horses colliding with the bonnet of their car, though it wasn’t hurt.

    The horses were intercepted after less than a mile on South Eaton Place, where one horse was recovered.

    But the other two galloped all the way to Vauxhall, two miles from where they started, before they were finally collected.

    One of the horses received ‘minor injuries’ and no soldiers were hurt.

    Efforts to track them down and bring them under control involved both Army personnel and the Metropolitan Police.

    The Ministry of Defence said none of the horses were involved in an incident on April 24 when five horses bolted during a Household Cavalry exercise.

    Three soldiers, a cyclist and some of the horses were injured after the animals were spooked by fireworks and ran through London.

    The Household Cavalry previously said it exercises around 150 horses a day in London parks and roads to ‘keep them fit and help inoculate them to city noise so they’re less easily panicked on parades’.
