Chaos erupts as horse out of control at state visit in front of King

Horse breaks loose during march past in Windsor

One of the horses during today’s march past in Windsor for the German President’s official welcome to the UK appeared to be out of control following the King and Mr Steinmeier’s inspection of the Guard of Honour.

Just as the Life Guards, a unit in the Household Cavalry, were starting to march in the Quadrangle of Windsor Castle, one of the horses appeared to be giving its rider a difficult time as they began the route.

The horse kept getting out of line and jumping back and forth before settling down and continuing with the march past.
