horses killed and injured in the terrorist bombing at Hyde Park

Categories: Animals, Tragedy

Seven horses were killed by the bomb or as an act of mercy shortly after. One, Sefton, was critically injured but survived to become a celebrity.  The Daily Mail have another photo and an extremely sad story of the soldier who was riding Sefton that day and also survived but was not destined to live a happy life.
