Thank you for that update.

There seems to be a petition running on Facebook to 'bring the injured horses to safety ' what ever that means! I think they want them out of the army and in a 'rescue' of some sort.
I'm sure the army has something place for horses who can no longer return to duty.

I learnt to ride in the mid 2000's, and was taught then to hold onto the reins as well.

The oldest equine rescue in the UK, which has other retired Army horses, has offered to take them, according to at least one online article.

It's the Horse Trust that takes in these horses when they retire thru age or physical issues.
In the last month they've taken in 12 ex service/police horses:

Meet Twelve New Retirees from the Household Cavalry, Police, and Light Cavalry

In a moment of heartfelt farewells as well as exciting new beginnings, twelve extraordinary horses have retired to The Horse Trust's Home of Rest for

From the Horse Trust article:

It was an emotional day and there wasn’t a dry eye as the horses galloped together amongst new pastures, marking the beginning of their retirements. We’re overjoyed to be able to provide these magnificent animals with a well-deserved rest, plenty of carrots and of course those highly adored neck scratches! Despite their age they still have a spring in their step and a new lease of life.

I bet it's emotional!
I feel a bit teary just reading it

The MOD have issued an update on Vida and Quaker and say they are both making progress but warned that the recovery process can be unpredictable. Fingers crossed for a full recovery.

Thanks for this update, I was thinking of them a few minutes ago and how they are doing.

Have they actually said what the injuries are?

Whereabouts? Nothing on social media.

I read it on my phone. LBC gave the update with today's date, so I am assuming it's true. No details.

Just googled - yeah that’s a word for word quote from the 29th April update despite being the article having today’s date.

I wouldn’t rely on LBC for news

 

[Juniper Jack]

It's like they've gone radio silence. I wish they would update us all; they were so appreciative of our concern. Sigh.

The BBC website today says the injured horses are making remarkable progress in their recovery and that one soldier is still being treated in hospital.

Horses Trust has a video of the grey and some of the others turning up today for R&R.

The grey is now covered in mud not blood! But looking well.

In the post I saw someone asked if any were the horses from this incident and the Horse Trust said no?

ETA I've just seen they have had two lots of service horses arrive. One lot are a combination of police and army horses who are there to spend their retirement years and the second were the London horses who are there for respite care before returning to duty

Had there been an announcement about damage to their feet?
