The British army has shared an update after military horses ran amok in central London after being spooked by falling rubble on Wednesday 24 April.

Several Household Cavalry soldiers were thrown from their mounts before the animals bolted in the capital.

In a video shared on social media, Lieutenant Colonel Matt Woodward confirmed that three soldiers "incurred injuries which are not deemed to be life-threatening" and are receiving treatment in hospital.

The escaped horses have all been returned to Hyde Park Barracks, where they are undergoing veterinary care.

I’ve never experienced an update from the Army before and I tell you it’s so much better than the Police.

Heres a man giving a CALM STATEMENT about the incident not like the newscasters going over the TOP. Thankyou young man for the update. Hope Horses and Guards are doing fine. 😊

I'm extremely sad this man is not an MP or PM. In less than 2 minuets we got more information, truth, facts and decorum than the last 4 years of politicians from both sides. Thank you for serving and offering us a breath of fresh air.

It’s so refreshing to hear a statement from a public official that’s clear, concise, and factual. Can this guy get in to politics?

Colonel, I'm an old American cavalry trooper. Please allow me to speak for your troopers and say THANK YOU for keeping your priorities straight. Soldiers first, always. As we both know, there is a type of officer who would worry about this accident's effect on their career first or worry about the equipment first or the public perception first. It appears that your command does not tolerate such behavior from leadership and I think every soldier can appreciate that. This is a professional and clear briefing for the public... the language is simple, the talking points are clear, filled with facts, and the key point is repeated twice: this is the number of soldiers injured, they are receiving professional care, all the mounts have been recovered and are likewise receiving care. EXCELLENT work, sir. A sincere and respectful tip of the Stetson from a distant cousin from across the pond.

This man should give all the news, on both sides of the pond. Short, sweet, to the point, factual, no name calling, no speculation, no questions taken meant to provoke and blame. Glad people and horses are well.

Good clear honest apology and explanation given without excuses or misinformation. The British Army is the single national organisation left that I actually trust and respect.

That was so lovely for the Military to give their time to give a up date on all concerned hope the soldiers, public who were injured and of course those beautiful horses make a quick recovery.

Anyone going to have a word to the crew at the construction site about the list of top 10 things not to do next to a horse in public for next time?
