The horses, which belong to the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, a unit that parades in royal pageants, are normally well-trained symbols of London's regal past.

这些马匹属于皇家骑兵团，以往参与皇家盛典游行活动，是伦敦王室过去的象征，它们通常训练有素。

By 10:30 a.m., the Metropolitan Police said that all the horses had been recovered and were back in their barracks in Hyde Park. But some had suffered injuries, including a white horse that had blood splashed on its neck, chest and forelimbs.

上午10:30时，伦敦警察局表示，皇家骑兵团的所有马匹已经被找到，并已返回海德公园的马厩。然而，一些马匹在事件中受伤，其中一匹白色的马的颈部、胸部和前肢溅满了血迹。

The drama began shortly after 8 a.m. when the horses, apparently spooked by the noise from a nearby construction site, threw off the military riders who were taking them out for routine exercises. Photographs showed one of the soldiers being treated while lying on the ground on Buckingham Palace Road.

事件发生在早上8点后不久，当时这些马匹似乎被附近建筑工地的噪音吓到，导致军方骑手被摔下马背。照片显示，其中一名士兵躺在白金汉宫路上接受治疗。
