Five riderless horses in London.

I heard this news as it broke this morning but they didn't go into much detail and as my radio signal was very hit and miss in the lakes today i have only just read it in full, the horse that you see run into the bus is lucky to be alive.

​

10am - Hello and welcome​

Two riderless horses - one white and one black - are running through the streets of central London this morning.
They ran along the Strand at around 8:30am, with one of them believed to have collided with a black cab. Reports suggest they continued towards Tower Bridge.
The white horse appeared to be covered in a red liquid - it wasn't clear if that was paint, blood or something else.

I cannot find it now but It said they were spooked by something and threw the riders i thought they were trained not to react to loud noises.

Horses get spooked by the sound of a safety pin falling in a padded room.
