Sadly a horse called Murphy who'd been with the regiment for a very long time fell whilst taking part in the Royal Gun Salute in Hyde Park Yesterday. His legs got tangled in a gun carriage-read the full and tragic story below. Must have been horrible for the soldiers involved and anyone watching in the crowd :(

So sad. It is good to see that he was surrounded by people who were knowledgeable and very quick to respond. Has the Queen commented? I know she is such a huge horse lover.

How did he fall exactly? Theses horses are usually so rock solid and sure footed.

They say it tripped-although it's very even ground in Hyde Park-just one of those really unlucky moments :(
