Three military horses that got loose in central London earlier this year have been confirmed as having roles in Trooping the Colour. Five Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment horses were injured after being spooked while on an exercise in Belgravia in April. Horses Tennyson, Trojan and Vanquish will take part in the King's Birthday Parade after making 'swift and successful' recoveries and showing 'such aptitude and eagerness', the army said.
Due to their injuries, they had to undergo rehabilitation at Hyde Park Barracks and a period of 'expert respite care' at equine charity The Horse Trust, but returned to work last month. Tennyson will be riding in the prestigious Sovereign's Escort at the rear rank of the second division, and will be ridden by the division's most experienced rider, Corporal of Horse Harvey, to provide 'extra confidence'.
