In an update on the horses who had surgery, the British Army tweeted that Quaker has “shown significant improvement and progresses towards what is expected to be a full recovery”.The update posted to X, formerly Twitter, said: “The other horse, Vida, a grey, continues to make progress.“We are so thankful for everyone’s concern and expressions of support, and for all those involved in their care.”

The spokesman said: “Of the soldiers injured, two are still undergoing treatment in hospital but will make a full recovery.He added: “Healing takes time – please be patient as we support that process. The soldiers and horses are all receiving the very best of care.”Ambulance crews treated four people on Wednesday 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.

Jordan Pettitt, 26, who works for the PA news agency, said the grey horse was “vividly” stained red with blood and he heard a black horse collide with a taxi.
