The Great Gallop of '19
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
The year was 2019, a time when commutes were just commutes, not epic horseback adventures. Enter four feisty military steeds who decided a morning exercise near Buckingham Palace was a bit too tame. Spooked by some construction racket (apparently, even horses don't appreciate jackhammers at dawn), these four broke free, sending the city into a bit of a tailspin.
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
Mayhem on Mane Street
Imagine the scene: tourists scattering like pigeons, double-decker buses swerving to avoid collisions, and these magnificent creatures thundering down the streets with their military riders clinging on for dear life (well, some of them). Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt (except maybe for a bruised ego or two), and the horses were eventually wrangled back in.

Now, depending on who you ask, the number of escapees might differ. Some reports say it was a cool quartet, while others claim there were five in on the hoof-loose fun. Truth be told, in the heat of the moment, it's easy to get your mane facts mixed up! What matters most is that these brave (or perhaps slightly rebellious) steeds had their day of wild freedom, and thankfully, everyone lived to neigh another day.
