A military horse that ran fast through London after being spooked by construction work has been "retired".
Quaker, 15, was one of five Guards Squadron horses frightened by debris that fell off a cliff near them during a training exercise in Belgravia in April last year.
Four service personnel were thrown from their horses, and the animals that escaped freely collided with vehicles, crashing into a taxi and the windshield of a parked double-decker tour bus.
Paramedics treated four people in three separate incidents on Buckingham Palace Road, Belgrave Square and at the junction of Chancery Lane and Fleet Street, in a span of just 10 minutes.
City of London Police managed to catch the horses after almost half an hour in Limehouse after they sped away from Wilton Crescent.
And the images of two frightened horses running through the streets of London covered in blood caused a sensation around the world.
Quaker and another horse, Vida, were seriously injured and spent time recovering at The Horse Trust in Buckinghamshire, which has cared for service horses for 139 years.
After receiving expert veterinary treatment and undergoing surgery, Quaker is now returning to the "shelter to spend his retirement" among the 32 ex-military workhorses who live there permanently. /Telegraph/
