New pictures released of runaway horses that bolted through London - as they make 'remarkable recovery'

Two of the horses that were injured when they bolted through central London have been pictured together for the first time since the incident.

The pictures released by the British Army show two of the horses, Quaker and Vida, together in a sunny meadow.

They were among five horses spooked by builders dropping rubble from a height "right next to them" in central London.

In a statement the British Army said: "Three of the horses injured in the incident are now back on duty and, against all expectations, are looking likely to take part in the King's Birthday Parade on 15 June.

"The remaining two are recuperating in the country but look set to return to work in due course. Three of the injured soldiers are back on duty and two are continuing to convalesce but are also expected to make a full return to service."

Six soldiers were also injured in the incident in April and the British Army confirmed three of them are back on duty.

Lieutenant Colonel Mathew Woodward, commanding officer of The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR), said the five are "recovering with remarkable speed".

He added Vida and Quaker are "are enjoying a summer holiday in the Chilterns thanks to The Horse Trust".
