The horses bolted through London on Wednesday morning (Image: PA)
Two of the horses who bolted and ran loose in central London are in a "serious condition".
Defence minister James Cartlidge told Sky News this morning: "There were five horses. They have all been recovered.
"Three of them are fine, two of them are unfortunately in a relatively serious condition and obviously we will be monitoring that condition."
Asked about the condition of two of the horses by LBC, the defence minister said he "wouldn't want to say more" than that they were in a serious condition.
He added: "Obviously, we didn't want that situation to happen. What I would stress to you is that this is very exceptional.
"You are probably aware that the army has horses out on exercise in central London every day of the week. It is about 150 horses on average exercising every day.
"So this is extremely unlikely this scenario. Unfortunately we have seen what has happened, but all I can say is the crucial thing, as you said yourself, no serious injuries to the public as far as we aware, and of course we will be keeping an eye on the situation."
