Videos released by means of social networks revealed mayhem and confusion as the horses charged through the streets.
Alongside a black horse, one white horse seen going through main London seemed covered in blood.

Big Bus Tours, a hop-on hop-off sightseeing excursion business running in London, validated that a person of the runaway horses hit a parked trip bus.
“We confirm that one of our stationary buses sustained damage this morning during an incident involving horses from the Household Cavalry. One of the horses ran into the front of our parked vehicle,” Big Bus Tours informed The Telegraph paper.
“Fortunately, none of our team members were injured. Our primary concern lies with the welfare of the riders and animals involved in the incident.”
