Black cab driver Robbie told BBC Radio London he narrowly avoided being hit by the horses.
The BBC understands that the noise of builders moving concrete in Belgravia caused horses from the Household Cavalry to bolt and unseat their riders while exercising this morning.
He said: "I was just outside Buckingham Palace on the Mall and heard loads of galloping and looked behind and there were about three or four horses.
The soldiers are now being assessed and the horses are being looked after by a vet.
"Two of them were sprinting up towards Trafalgar Square and there was a white one covered in blood as well.
"I looked in the rear mirror and saw them coming right up behind me, and at the time I had two punters in the back so I was worried about them," he added.
"Luckily they swerved towards the middle of the road and carried on, but they were going at some speed."
He continued: "Nobody knew what was going on because there wasn't any police presence or anyone chasing the horses.
"We knew something had happened because they both had saddle gear on.
"I was worried about the horse because it looked like it was injured quite badly."
