Military Horse Vida Returns to Service After Dramatic London Incident

After a six-month recovery from injuries sustained during a chaotic bolt through London, Vida rejoins the Household Cavalry.

Vida was one of five horses that bolted near Buckingham Palace, spooked by construction noise on April 24.
The incident resulted in injuries to soldiers and horses, with Vida requiring significant medical treatment for lacerations.
The Horse Trust provided care for Vida, allowing for physical and emotional recovery over several months.
Three other horses involved in the incident returned to duty in June, participating in Trooping the Colour.
Animal rights group PETA has called for the retirement of all horses involved, citing stress from ceremonial duties.
