    The sight of the Grey with blood splashed down and across its right side and belly was shocking. I literally gasped out loud. I hope all are fine.
  • @wayne00k
    And still no comment on the injuries to the horses?
  • @georgewilkie3580
    Very Professional! The British Military is ultra-disciplined, and totally caring about the Safety of the Public. An event such as this is extremely rare. I'm a born and bred Yank. However, I worked with the British Airborne (1st Para) while I served in the US Army 505th PIR 82nd Airborne Division). I've never seen finer trained Troops in my life, than those from the UK! It was a pleasure going on training exercises with the Brits.

    Thise horses are already stressed with those hard bits that make them grind their teeth and fling heads back in discomfort.
  • @meancookie89
    That’s a sign ! So 4 horsemen of the apocalypse …. The bloody horse = war
  • @vienicestyles
    I wish they’d give us an update on the horses. 🐎
  • @sandyjuntunen4088
    They could have given the number of people & number of horses that were hurt!
  • @kitnwills3973
    This would have mortified the late Queen 😢😢 Seriously, how reckless were those builders, anyway? I hope they were dealt with swiftly. Foolish twits and their inspectors. Very much letting down the side. Massive misstep, because one can’t un-see those images blasted around the world, innit? 😢
  • @JJEAM_
    This look like some shit off the book of revelation chapter 6:8
  • @barbarakempf761
    I’m really concerned about the white horse running with blood dripping from him. Also, of course the soldier riders thrown.
  • @chairmankim9628
    Horses spook easily and are thr leading cause of spinal cord injuries. I was thrown from my horse who got spooked. I was badly hurt and required spine surgery. I'm glad the soldiers were not injured foremost, also no bystanders.
