This is the moment Household Cavalry horses seem to be spooked in a separate incident to the runaway horses in London, captured by the London City Walks YouTube channel.
A horse was filmed rearing and throwing off a trooper on the same day a group of panicked horses ran wild through Central London.
The man filming is heard saying moments before the incident: 'The horses are having a bit of a dance show this morning, they're not settling down as quick as they usually do.'
Seconds later, the footage shows commotion among the crowd as a black horse appears unsettled and moves in a frantic manner.
Several of the horses are seen tugging against their harnesses, disturbed by the distressed animal, as the first horse bucks and throws the rider off.
A trooper who was thrown from his horse can be seen lying still on the floor
A woman is heard in the background urging the members of the public to remain still, as a soldier is seen running frantically into the area to try and capture the riderless horse
Footage shows the other riders trying to control and calm their steeds as the horse is led away
In a heartwarming display, the gathered crowd applauded as the rider managed to stand
The man filming then says: 'Oh a trooper has been thrown, oh good lord' as he runs forward.
The horse is then seen walking away from the rider - lying motionless on the floor - with an empty saddle.
The man added: 'What is going on with the horses today?'
Footage shows the other riders trying to control and calm their steeds.

A woman is heard in the background urging the members of the public to remain still, as a soldier is seen running frantically into the area to try and capture the riderless horse.
As the animals get back into formation, they still seem distressed and toss their heads.
A medic raced to treat the rider, surrounded by other military personnel and police officers as he lay on the floor.
In a heartwarming show of support, the gathered crowd applauds as the wounded rider manages to get to his feet.
It's unclear if this happened before or after the incident at 8.20am this morning which led to the animals fleeing through busy city streets in a panic.
Five horses threw off their riders and ran amok after being spooked by building works.
Journalist Jordan Pettitt, 26, said a white horse was 'vividly' stained red with blood
Two of the horses - one with its chest covered in blood - bolt east through the streets of London
Four soldiers lost their mounts at just after 8.20am before the animals fled through busy city streets, injuring four people in three separate incidents in the space of 10 minutes
Horses slammed into a tour bus parked on Buckingham Palace Road and a taxi outside the Clermont Hotel - smashing their windows - before two were seen running through Aldwych with their chests covered in blood.

A British Army spokesperson confirmed this afternoon that the animals were 'spooked by construction works' when building materials were 'dropped from a height'.
Six soldiers and seven horses from the Life Guards were on an extended Watering Order, an exercise to keep up the fitness of animals not involved in the public-facing King's Life Guard duties.
Onlookers said one of the Household Cavalry soldiers was left 'screaming in pain' after he was thrown from his horse when it struck a car by the Clermont Hotel on Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria.
Members of the public were seen comforting one of the horses after it ran loose
One of the horses smashed into a people carrier, shattering his windows and leaving deep dents with specks of blood splattered across the side
The serviceman was treated by paramedics on the road after the incident
Footage of two horses being caught outside Gordon House on the Glamis Estate in Limehouse, east London, appeared to show that the white horse had broken its leg.
Still drenched in blood, the horse's back left leg was bandaged and the animal seemed unwilling to walk on it.
Held at the side of the road by several officers, the white horse bled all over the road and was treated by vets at the scene.
Footage shows it bleeding profusely from its back leg as police gathered around to stem the flow.
