LONDON — One of the five British Cavalry horses that made headlines when they broke away from their trainers and galloped thorough the streets of London last year has been retired to the country without ever returning to active service.

Quaker, a 15-year-old black horse, suffered a broken bone and serious bleeding during the incident of April 24, 2024, when the horses were spooked by the noise of construction rubble falling through a chute.

“Quaker wasn’t able to return to duties,” Maj. Thomas Stewart said in a post on social media. “He had ongoing veterinary care, and it was decided actually that it was best for his welfare that he wasn’t going to come back to us in London.”
