The melancholy strains of the Rolling Stones' Wild Horses (from the 1971 album Sticky Fingers) have been running through my head all week, ever since five Household Cavalry steeds were spooked on their morning ride by building work being carried out on a mansion in Belgravia and ran amok through London.
Three soldiers and a cyclist were injured after the animals threw their riders and galloped off through the urban jungle, smashing into a row of parked e-scooters, a taxi and a bus. The subsequent scenes, shared widely on social media, were like a cross between that Lloyds Bank advert and a Quentin Tarantino movie.
The humans were taken to hospital and, as far as I know, are recovering. But two of the poor creatures were badly injured - a grey called Vida and a black horse, called Quaker.

In their panic they covered almost a six-mile stretch before being caught at Limehouse, in East London, bloodied and terbit21 exhausted.
