In an unexpected twist, one horse entered a charcuterie establishment and devoured four and a half jars of pickled beetroots. Crinkle cut.

Riderless blood-soaked horses race through central London

Yes, it had just run headlong into a bus.
Thankfully its wounds aren't life threatening according to news reports, which isn't too surprising. Horses can tank some pretty nasty collisions and walk away. Although I suspect with how much it was bleeding its still going to need stitches.

those cyclists look surprisingly calm considering there's a horse charging right at them

That photo has to win a prize of some sort. Insane shot. Wow. Glad to hear everyone seems to be ok.

Apparently it was caused by noise at a construction site on a street - something got dropped which spooked the horses and unseated several riders.
Two horses, one covered in blood, the other in a Just Stop Oil hoodie have been seen running riderless in London
From my experience in an OTC unit back in the day, this is what many officers in British Army Cavalry units were like - and the Household Cavalry is on top of the pyramid there.
Lots of double-barrelled surnames, lemme put it that way.
Obviously he was riding both at once. When he fell, it triggered the chain reaction that caused the other 3 to fall.
yeah, at first (sadly) my mind went to "must be AI generated" but if it's a real photo it'll be in the running for the pulitzer photo this year 😂
That's really not an unusual amount of blood from a horse that has sustained the kinds of injuries being described here
You can straight up see its bloodied nostrils too, so it's likely bleeding from the nose
nah, it is. Some type of army training exercise, saw them in London last week:

They meant their alternative suggestion wasn't the case, hence the 'but'
Amazing how a horse can explode from stepping on a pebble the wrong way, but then also demolish a bus and keep going like nothing is wrong.

Too early to prep for trooping the colour?
I used to live near some UK military senior and he'd talk about it a LOT.
Not to diminish the shot, but autofocus is pretty nutty on modern cameras.Can't get over how good a picture that is given they probably didn't have a lot of time to prepare for it.
It vexes me greatly that he's titled Lieutenant Colonel and not Leftenant Colonel.
I wonder when the British Army made that change...
Really glad the horses were taken and are being treated. Saw this this morning and it was scary as heck. Poor things.
It's interesting because photography was historically used to prove that horses can rise all their legs together when galloping which this photo also shows.

If someone hasn't already used one of these photos for a punk/hardcore/metal album then I've lost all faith in music.
It's still pronounced Leftenant for the British forces. I'm not sure I've ever seen it written down as Leftenant before.
