Military horse makes unexpected comeback after dramatic London escape

Last spring a startling incident shook central London when a white military horse named Vida – along with four other horses got scared by loud construction sounds near Buckingham Palace

The frightened animals ran wild through rush-hour traffic (a sight that shocked many morning commuters) causing quite a stir in the citys busy streets. Vida was notably visible due to its blood-stained white coat as it galloped through various London neighborhoods

Three british-army riders got thrown off their horses and needed hospital care; however they were expected to go back to their regular duties. The horses ran for several miles before being caught – a chase that created quite a scene in the usually-well organized capital

After about half-a-year of rest and healing Vida has finally made its way back home‚ as reported by a charity group on friday 11/15. The horseʼs recovery marks a positive end to what started as a rather chaotic morning in the city-center
