Two Horses Which Ran Amok In London ‘In Serious Condition’ | “Something Very Small Can Set Them Off”

two of the house cavalry

horses

, excuse me,

which

yesterday threw off their riders and fled for six miles across London are in a

serious

condition

and have undergone surgery in a group of seven

horses

that were carrying out military exercises of routine when they were frightened by the noise of Builders moving concrete, four of

them

broke loose and two ran through the city crashing into vehicles, including a double-decker bus and a taxi, let's talk to Ean behaviorist and horse trainer, Trudy Dempsey, good afternoon, Trudy, good afternoon, JJ, now, really, once the horses are out. surgery they will likely be able to return to active duty or they will be retired somewhere well I'm not a bet so physically I'm not sure what the situation is, it's possible that those physical injuries are such that they wouldn't be able to return and maybe they will , they will be removed from service.

It's

very

likely that the horses can be retrained and, uh, that could be the case for

them

, but who knows, I think it's early because apparently we're still in a pretty bad situation right now, so maybe we'll hear more in the next day, but these horses were on a daily route that they had been taking e

very

day, the same route that they use. to the same kind of noises and hustle and bustle of central London, how exactly would they have been frightened by the sound of moving concrete? Seems unlikely, doesn't it? If it's their normal life and they're used to it and we call it habituation, where you know horses are able to get so used to

something

that doesn't trigger them, it's no longer scary to them, but we also know that horses have a wide range of things behind them.

They, for example, naturally, being a horse, will want to run away from danger, that's just part of being a prey animal, as a horse is, we also know that their recent history, their past history, has an effect on their behavior on the day and finally we have the environment as it is at that moment, so if a horse is feeling a little grumpy, maybe it takes less to activate it, it has what we could describe as an emotional bucket and so Therefore, it is always splashing. with a little bit on the bottom and that's fine, but during the day or during the morning or during the night, if they haven't slept well, that emotional charge gets, you know, Fuller and Fuller, uh, we could refer to this as a buildup of triggers and then it may be

something

seemingly very

small

that causes the horse to shoot, so I don't know because apparently we don't have a video of how the incident actually happened, but it could have just been a horse and I also understand that the gray horse that we saw there in the clip with blood running down the front of them the sources apparently say that this horse has previously been spooked in situations like this, so maybe this horse is a little stronger, they are selected for being, you know, incredible, because this is not As a normal horse, I deal with horses a lot and most of the time they are not horses that can withstand all those triggers that you are going to have in central London.

They are incredible horses, yes, that's what I'm told. that, when a horse gets scared, it's a kind of contagion effect and the other horses then do the same, so in that situation, what would you advise the public? I understand that some members of the public tried to run in front of them and brake. knocking them down is that one of the worst things you can do is that you have very little time from when the horse spooks to actually do anything and you will usually have your hand in the rain. or something that from what I understand from The Limited, the information we have is that the Riders were somehow dislodged and the horses were already scared, so that's quite difficult to deal with, so yes, I would recommend to any member of the public to stay away from a horse that is You know, running straight at you, there were different situations.

I think it was at King Charles's coronation, uh, parade after the coronation, that one of the horses behind his carriage got scared and backed up against the railings, but it was very contained, there were no people. Everywhere people will have barriers so it's a little safer, so the people who are trying to help the horses are people who know well how to deal with these horses, but they shouldn't avoid it. A horse running in Anything Costs I would say is usually correct and we often see horses patrolling at football games outside stadiums. We saw a showdown in central London a couple of days ago, on St George's Day, and the horses seemed to be in control.

How is it possible that Some horses can be surrounded by people surrounded by agitators. Angry fans, people throw things at them and they don't get scared, but then in some situations the

small

est thing can trigger it and it goes away, yeah, it's literally that trigger that builds up, so it's a bit. like us you also know that you get up in the morning and maybe you ran out of bread you couldn't eat your toast you're going to get in the car and you forgot half of your things you have to go back home there's traffic jam, uh, you don't have your coffee favorite when you get to the office and then the smallest thing and then you yell at that person, the wrong person, but you say, oh, and the same goes for horses, so it could have been A lot of little things accumulated and it could be Maybe it was a specific movement or whatever they say happened, but it is very likely that it could be something quite harmless.

They are trained, they are brilliantly trained, they are experienced and they are used to doing it. a lot of London noises otherwise they would never be able to COPE with that situation but it's not normal this is way outside of a H's normal comfort zone they definitely have to be trained to deal with it and it really is surprising that there aren't any. There are more incidents and I think if you look for it, there are quite a few that happen, but they don't have such extreme endings and you know it's very sad for those two horses and for any of the people that were hurt in that. absolutely fine incident, really Dempsey, thank you very much for your time, pleasure, thank you
