‘It’s been an honour’: Army horse injured in London heads home fully healed after holiday

The grey Household Cavalry horse who was seen galloping through the streets of London last spring is back with his regiment having made a complete recovery.

Pictures of Vida, injured in the capital, spread worldwide in April; he was one of five horses who broke loose on a routine ride, having been spooked by a sudden noise from construction work.

The injured horses were treated by the regiment’s “superb” vets, after which Trojan, Tennyson and Vanquish spent time recovering at The Horse Trust.
