The Great Gallop of Gossip: How Are London's Horses Faring Today?
Neigh-sayers beware! Buckle up for a riveting ride as we trot through the latest updates on London's four-legged residents. From majestic steeds to those pulling a carriage (carriage horses, darling, not your Uber), we'll cover it all!
The Household Cavalry's Hoof Happenings
Remember the kerfuffle in April when a few cavalry horses went on a sightseeing tour of central London, unscheduled? Well, those brave beasts are recovering well! Vida and Quaker, the stars of the show (or should we say, stampede?), are getting the royal treatment (because, you know, Buckingham Palace). They're still on the mend, but progress is whinny-ing!
The Carriage Horses: Clip-Clopping Along?
London's carriage horses are a familiar sight, but how are they doing these days? Rest assured, these well-cared-for creatures have a strict work schedule and plenty of chill time. Regulations ensure they get breaks, aren't overworked, and have access to food and water. In fact, some might say their life is a walk in the park...or rather, a trot through the city!
But wait! There's more! Did you know some stables even have treadmills specifically designed for horses? Talk about a fancy gym membership!
The Great London Mystery: Where are the Hidden Horses?
London's not all bustling streets and red buses. There are hidden pockets of green where horses live their best lives. Riding schools and private stables are scattered around the city, offering riding lessons, carriage rides, and a chance to connect with these noble animals.
Who knows, maybe there's a secret herd of unicorns frolicking in Hampstead Heath! (Probably not, but a fun thought, right?)
