Defence Minister Assures Public: No Major Harm Caused
According to a government official, the incident of military horses running around in London was an unusual event. He revealed that over 150 horses are taken for training in the city on a daily basis.
When questioned by LBC about the well-being of two of the horses, James Cartlidge, the defence minister, declined to elaborate further, but acknowledged that they were gravely ill.
He stated: "Naturally, we did not desire that incident to occur. I want to emphasize that this is an unusual occurrence."
You may already know that the military conducts horse workouts in downtown London every day. There are typically around 150 horses exercising each day.
It's very improbable that this situation will occur. Regrettably, we have witnessed what occurred, but I can only emphasize, like you already mentioned, that there were no major injuries to the public to our knowledge. We will also be monitoring the situation closely.

According to her, she exclaimed: "As I alighted from the 172 bus that terminates at Aldwych, I observed two galloping horses - one was ebony while the other was ivory."
The white animal was soaked in crimson liquid from its chest region and it was rapidly moving through the vehicles on the road.
The individuals were halting in the road with astonishment. The equines were darting towards speeding vehicles and appeared to be frightened.
"They were being pursued by unidentifiable law enforcement vehicles, which appeared to have no effect. I was taken aback. The situation was quite horrific. It seemed like I was in a bizarre state of consciousness."
