Moment escaped Household Cavalry horse is finally captured

This is the moment the Household Cavalry horses which were 'spooked' by builders were finally captured and loaded into a horsebox after the six-mile rampage.

A British Army spokesperson later confirmed that the animals were 'spooked by construction works' when building materials were 'dropped from a height' and led to five Household Cavalry horses bolting through central this morning.

Six soldiers and seven horses from the Life Guards were on an extended Watering Order, an exercise to keep up the fitness of animals not involved in the public-facing King's Life Guard duties.
