This is the moment Royal Cavalry horses appear to be frightened in a separate incident to the runaway horses in London, captured by the Walks through the city of London Youtube channel.
A horse was filmed rearing up and knocking down a soldier on the same day a group of terrified horses ran wild through central London.
Moments before the incident the man recording is heard saying: “The horses are doing a little dance show this morning, they are not calming down as quickly as usual.”
Seconds later, footage shows commotion among the crowd as a black horse appears restless and moves frantically.
Several of the horses are seen pulling at their harnesses, disturbed by the distressed animal, while the first horse resists and throws the rider.
A soldier who was thrown from his horse can be seen lying motionless on the ground.
A woman in the background is heard urging the public to remain still, while a soldier is seen frantically running towards the area to try to capture the riderless horse.
Footage shows the other riders trying to control and calm their steeds as they lead the horse away.
In a moving display, the gathered crowd applauded when the rider managed to get to his feet.
The man filming then says, “Oh, a soldier has been thrown, oh my God,” as he runs forward.
The horse is then seen walking away from the rider, lying motionless on the ground, with the saddle empty.
The man added: “What is happening with the horses today?”
The images show the other riders trying to control and calm their steeds.
The thrown cyclist is then seen starting to move as police arrive to check if he is okay.
A woman in the background is heard urging the public to remain still, while a soldier is seen frantically running towards the area to try to capture the riderless horse.

A doctor ran to tend to the cyclist, surrounded by other military and police officers as he lay on the ground.
In a touching show of support, the gathered crowd applauds as the injured rider manages to get to his feet.
It is unclear whether this occurred before or after the 8.20am incident, which caused the animals to flee in panic through the busy city streets.
Five horses let go of their riders and went crazy after being spooked by construction work.
Journalist Jordan Pettitt, 26, said a white horse was “vividly” dyed red with blood.

Four soldiers lost their mounts shortly after 8.20am before the animals fled through the city’s busy streets, injuring four people in three separate incidents in the space of 10 minutes.
The horses crashed into a tour bus parked on Buckingham Palace Road and a taxi outside the Clermont Hotel, smashing its windows, before two were seen running through Aldwych with their chests covered in blood.
The horses rampaged for six miles before they were finally captured at Limehouse, east London. The injured horses were treated by a veterinarian and all the animals are now back with the army.
A British Army spokesperson confirmed this afternoon that the animals were “frightened by construction sites” when construction materials “fell from above.”
Six soldiers and seven horses from the Life Guards were on an extended water order, an exercise to maintain the fitness of animals not involved in public King’s Life Guard duties.

Footage of two horses trapped outside Gordon House on the Glamis Estate in Limehouse, east London, appeared to show the white horse had broken a leg.
Still soaked in blood, the horse’s left hind leg was bandaged and the animal seemed unwilling to walk on it.
Stopped on the side of the road by several officers, the white horse bled all over the road and was treated by veterinarians on the scene.
Footage shows him bleeding profusely from his hind leg as police gather to stop the flow.
