A life-sized statue of a military horse that survived a terror attack in London, England, was unveiled earlier this month at the Royal Veterinary College.The horse, Sefton, suffered terrible injuries in the 1982 Hyde Park bombing, which killed seven military horses and four soldiers. An Irish Republican Army nail bomb was detonated during the changing of the guard, striking the formation of horses and their riders.Sefton received 34 separate injuries in the attack but recovered and served with the British Army for two years after the incident; he survived until 1993. As the most severely injured surviving horse, Sefton's story of recovery captured the nation's hearts and he came to symbolize the resilience that is characteristic of the armed forces.
