The Army spokesman also told us that four soldiers were dismounted after the horses were spooked during a rehearsal in Belgravia. We've started to put together a picture of how today's events played out.
All the soldiers are being assessed for possible injuries. A group of horses and riders from the Household Cavalry were on an extended exercise ahead of a Major General's Inspection - which was due to take place tomorrow in Hyde Park.
It might look like there's a slight discrepancy here. Five horses ran loose, while only four soldiers fell from their saddles. This is because one soldier was responsible for two of the horses, the spokesman has said. Every military unit taking part in the King's birthday parade must pass a Major General's Inspection in advance.
The group included six soldiers and seven horses.
During the exercise, the horses were spooked by nearby building works. Four soldiers were thrown from their saddles, and five horses ran loose through London.
Some of the horses collided with traffic and at least two of them appear to have been injured.
Paramedics attended incidents in three locations across London, and four people were taken to hospital.
All five horses were then recovered and returned to a military base. They're now being assessed by a vet.
We'll keep you updated with anything else we learn.
