Horses loose in London

[Tortuga]

Bloody horses were seen loose in London.

 

This has nothing to do with the ride of the 4 horses in Revelation.

This has nothing to do with a whinny of Peace and Security.

This has nothing to do with the start of the Great Tribulation.

It's just a couple of bloody horses running through London..

I can tell you’re not English… because using that term is a curse word!

 

 I feel terrible for those terrified horses

"The horses, one of which was covered in blood, caused chaos as they roamed the city centre and collided with vehicles, including a double-decker bus and taxi."

Something interesting about "bloody" 

Bloody has always been a very common part of Australian speech and has not been considered profane there for some time^[when?]. The word was dubbed "the Australian adjective" by The Bulletin on 18 August 1894.

I'm English, and it is not a curse word when used correctly in a descriptive way, as done here, though THH I'd probably have re-worded the exact phrasing used because of how it could be read, even though there was no punctuation.

Two - Quaker and Vida, the bloodied grey - are reportedly in a serious condition, but are still alive.

 

Interestingly the barracks take out around 150 horses onto the streets each day for exercise - I know that I'm passing the horses from the barracks virtually every day, and that's not counting other horses.

In their training, they do include sudden noises and interruptions to the horses movement. Many of them are very well schooled and cope with a lot of distractive situations without becoming nervy. What a shame, though, for these two horses. They will get the very best equine treatment, of course.

Evidently builders dropped rubble from a great height right next to them… it takes just one horse to shy and jump away into the side of another horse, I would say that in order to unseat the riders that they weren’t expecting it either…

 

one horse collides with another etc and panic spreads easily, they’re a flight animal and prefer to be together tbh I’m surprised the whole lot didn’t bolt off !
