A military horse that bolted through London after being startled by construction work has retired
Quaker, 15, was one of five horses from the Life Guards Squadron spooked by rubble being dropped down a chute next to them while on an exercise in Belgravia in April last year.
Four service personnel were thrown from their horses, and the animals that ran loose smashed into vehicles, smashing into a taxi and the windscreen of a parked double-decker tour bus.
Paramedics treated four people in three separate incidents in Buckingham Palace Road, Belgrave Square, and at the junction of Chancery Lane and Fleet Street, in the space of just 10 minutes.
City of London Police managed to capture the horses after nearly half an hour in Limehouse after bolting from Wilton Crescent
