that horse is broken and leaking.
Straight to hell for that one! Unfortunately true though, and given how badly horses heal it doesn't look good.

"Noise from builders caused horses to bolt". Must've been pretty bloody loud!
Horses are dicks; just looking at a discarded crisp packet flapping about the wrong way can send them off. "Noise from builders caused horses to bolt". Must've been pretty bloody loud!

Anyone else see this? Was walking to work this morning by Canon Street and two horses with saddles but no riders came charging through traffic, being chased by an undercover police car with sirens on.
White horse had red all down them, thought it might be paint but videos on Twitter looks like blood

Looks like they came from near The strand and they’ve got as far as Limehouse tunnel so far.
Interesting start to the morning.
I'm not a horse expert but I would have thought that chasing a frightened horse through busy streets with sirens blaring would not do much to improve their mood. White horse had red all down them, thought it might be paint but videos on Twitter looks like blood

I'm no vet, but I can't see an obvious wound that would cause so much mess.
And as others have said, I can't imagine them being spooked by a loud noise.
They are often around cannons being fired, and rifles.
I'm not an expert on horse blood, but to me it looked too bright for blood. I'd have expected something darker if it was caused by a wound. I'm no vet, but I can't see an obvious wound that would cause so much mess.

My sister was RHA so knows military horses very well. It's not unusual for them to get spooked and unseat riders, this is obviously a very an extreme example.
Putting the distressing nature of the incident aside some of the picture look amazing (probably the wrong word), like they're out of a film. The elegance and drama I suppose.
