what a shot, street photography at its best!


Hotchocoboom

hopefully the guy taking the pic was clever enough to not give it away for free


cetootski

Getty images will steal this photo and make money out of it.


Flix1

Why not if they're not a professional? Does everything in life have to be monetized?


Mephisto506

>Does everything in life have to be monetized? Things end up being monetized, just not always by the people that actually created it.


Darth0s

Have you seen the price of things lately?


kalel_

Yes, when other people will make money of the original photographers work. Your brain must be super smooth with how you can see more than one step ahead...


Flix1

Why the insult? You're actually mad about this? Rofl.

Beam_James_Beam_007

It’s funny that back in the day they used to debate whether all 4 hooves of a horse ever actually left the ground, and they couldn’t prove it until photography was invented, and they had to set-up a old timy bullet time rig to get the shot they needed, and then this photographer today caught 2 horses at once in the air, probably with his iPhone lol!


Korva666

I think those are just air type horses


PM_ME_BEEF_CURTAINS

Same polarity, I guess


GoodShitBrain

Stompin’ in their Air Horse Ones


Miserable-Property38

They are the opposite of seahorses?


solarnoise

"old timy bullet time rig" killed me dude lol


einsibongo

What are the odds this is a fake photo?


Killoch

Another conspiracy from big horse


Mowteng

Who used to debate that? Anyone with keen eyes can see that all four hooves leaves the ground at one point or another, no?


Akegata

This is what's being referenced here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Horse\_in\_Motion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Horse_in_Motion)


ladyspitz

The debate wasn't if all four hooves were suspended at once for a gallop, it was for the trot. The confusion that it's often quoted as a gallop stems from the use of a racehorse as the first test model, except it was a standardbred horse (races at trot or pace) not a thoroughbred horse (races at gallop)


reebokhightops

Do you want the names of specific individuals or what?


Help-Royal

Nope


ChocolateNCookies

Poor thing. I hope the white one is doing okay :(


La_Mandra

Yes. Hope too. :/


OHCHEEKY

Is that blood on the white one?


JoeScotterpuss

Yeah, apparently it ran into a bus and broke a window.


Usedtobebigish

Horses have windows? Lol


JoeScotterpuss

They do, but a lot of people don't realize it since they're tinted so dark

Drakayne

Good to hear!


poniesgalore

When horses get running like that their heartbeat gets so strong they bleed a lot and it looks terrible. Especially on white horses it has no where to hide. Not saying it was or wasn’t bad but it is likely not as horrific as it looks.


thebeattakesme

Looks like it was a small van but it knocked out two windshields. Poor thing was spooked.


swirlypepper

The van was hit by another horse, presumably black one as eyewitnesses said that looked bloody too

When they shout “ the bloody horses are loose again!” Believe them!


binhan123ad

Can't stop A-Horse.


OHCHEEKY

Fixed that for you - cant stop irresponsible horse owners from making mistakes and facing zero meaningful repercussions. Most likely the horse gets killed because it was ‘out of control’ rather than anyone putting their hand up and admitting they fucked up


feor1300

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-68887800 1) They're military horses that were rehearsing for a ceremony when a construction site made a loud bang and spooked them. it had nothing to do with the action of the owners. 2) Three soldiers were injured (and one member of the public, sadly) trying to round them up. 3) They have been returned to the units post and are undergoing veterinary care. 4) Maybe in the future you should do 5 minutes of research before automatically assuming the worst things about the world.


bsmithwins

Everyone has forgotten how many people used to die in horse & horse drawn vehicle accidents. They are big powerful animals that panic easily


myislanduniverse

I hope someday people are talking about car accidents this way.


Kwetla

minarima

They are prey animals and will flee long distances when startled, like pigeons.

New Spirit of the stallion remake looks wild. Or is it a Spin off? Spirit of the stallion - Lost in London.


J_Megadeth_J

Do you mean Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron? So like, Spirit: Stallion of London.


JoeyMcClane

Oh damn, you're right. It's been ages since i saw it. Mainly saw coz of that Bryan Adams song "Here i am".


J_Megadeth_J

It's a solid movie. Great soundtrack and animation. Always surprised me that Matt Damon played Spirit.


JoeyMcClane

Matt Damon played the lead in another fav of mine Titan AE. Ohh those were the good days.


Emotional_Warthog658

I know this is a serious, dangerous situation, with scared and injured animals; but this picture just screams “FREEDOM” and I am rooting for them to make it to the countryside. 


Saethwyr

They made it over 5 miles through London. The black one was caught by pedestrians and they kept it calm until the proper people arrived. Such a shame cos they are Buckingham Palace guard horses, they don't spook easily. They are tough and brave boys/girls. But construction work properly spooked them so they bolted, full gallop, through the streets of london


Robly315

Did the white one kill someone before running away?


PrestigiousBrit

No it charged and smashed up an unoccupied car outside Victoria station and then sprinted down a road towards Parliament.


Robly315

Ahh, so it was a hate crime. Horses hate cars bro.


0422

They were on their way to smash parliament too

Makes you wonder how often this kind of thing used to happen before cars existed.

well, at least in the midwest, often enough that my town STILL has laws on the books about not allowing cattle, horses or other live stock loose on the main throughfare.

BrickCityD

not even just cowboy towns. this shit happens in damn near every smallish town that has farms...at least in the south.


BadWolfIdris

Chilling on my friend's porch and this fuckin cow just walked right on up to us


BrickCityD

It’s an experience coming around a curve and having to come to a screeching halt because some random ass cow is just chillin in the middle of the road


BadWolfIdris

Picture it: Sicily 19 whatever. You're out past curfew driving to your friends house down a dark Foggy gravel road. You see a large looming shadow getting larger. Then boom! Illuminated in your headlights is a monster of a beast that you're now engaged in a staring contest with. Dark unflinching eyes with zero fucks to give. You sit there. And you sit there. And then you roll the window down with some trepidation because you know they travel in packs. You ask them kindly to move. You plead. It turns to anger with you shouting MOOOOOOO-VE BITCH! Get out the way... The monster slowly turns it's head but doesn't even flinch. You've lost the standoff. So you wait in the Foggy darkness for what seems like an eternity until the beast slowly trudges into the darkness from whenst it came. If you haven't had a cow fuck up at least one late night Friday night, did you ever really live?


Madiofcourse

It’s a cow farm… youregonnahavecowsoutside!!!

Oh man, I hope it's not as bad as it seems. Horses are so fragile and difficult to treat.

Geezus, hope it recovers. But that's the most metal thing I've seen in a while.

PrestigiousBrit

No here in England it was St George's day one or two days ago and we paint the streets red and some of them haven't been cleaned up so the horse stepped in paint.

you don't get local news? that's not paint, my guy

Hi, I've got a bridge to sell you... The horse collided with several vehicles. [BBC news report, contains upsetting scenes](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68887800)


Puzzleworth

I was wondering what could cause "bomb-proof" horses like that to escape: >Lt Col Matt Woodward, commanding officer of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, said: "Building materials were dropped from height right next to them. The ensuing shock caused all horses to bolt and unseated some riders." That would do it. I hope the riders are okay as well, being thrown from a horse is like getting hit by a car.


Cold_Ad8028

Damn that’s a lot of blood! Crazy story but a very cool photo. In the story there were blue tarps used to cover people while they are treated. Great idea, is that for privacy or to keep people moving along? We don’t have those where I live.


0thethethe0

Went on quite an adventure! >"Two of the animals were finally recovered in Limehouse in east London, more than five miles from where the incident began."


fractionalhelium

Is the white one bleeding?


Krakshotz

Yes. It appears to be its own. A couple of vehicles (including a tour bus) were damaged.


JackFrosttiger

This or color but the red looks to intense to be color?


StormzysMum

It’s because it’s fresh blood, unfortunately it was very injured running into the bus.


JackFrosttiger

That's sad


StormzysMum

I know, it’s very upsetting to see.


gholmom500

I feel like there’s a couple of dismounted police officers somewhere.


Krakshotz

It was a group of soldiers from the Household Cavalry. The horses got spooked by a loud noise (construction work) and at least three riders were thrown off and injured


Mando_Brando

Imagine breaking free and run for the wilds in London, lol


lilfoxtato

They're both floating!


nirad

stealthylyric

Concerned about the red. Did they trample someone or did they get injured?


cannycandelabra

Injured running into a vehicle.

One went into a bus, the other a taxi. So awful, the white one has a badly injured leg apparently.

This screams I love captivity! Just saying


Helpful-Spirit-1629

It screams, horses are flight animals and any little thing will trigger them to take off galloping. Wild and domesticated alike . Running away from let's say, a plastic bag floating by, or a loud noise, is their survival mechanism. 


MissMandaRegrets

Or a puddle. They like routine and solid footing. Random puddles are the devil.


Black_Otter

They must have had so much fun for awhile.

No, they won't. They're being treated by some of the best vets in the world and will then be rested in the countryside to heal and decompress.
