horses killed and injured in the terrorist bombing at Hyde Park

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.
