Major Harriet Church, from the Household Cavalry Regiment, said: "Testing the large number of military horses based in London would have been impossible for regimental vets to tackle in a realistic time period without the students and clinicians of Nottingham’s veterinary school. 

"Their drive and dedication ensured that every single horse could be tested."

The horses are used to do things like escort the royal carriage on major state occasions.

Chief Supt Chamberlain said the boys were found in what has been described as a "rural setting" which was "very secluded".

The accommodation was a holiday cabin, just north of Ollerton.  

"We were contacted by a member of the public after seeing the nationwide appeal who decided to ring us up with some concerns he had," she said.  

Chief Supt Helen Chamberlain said police believe they have been at the same location in Ollerton since they went missing.

She said they believe it was a "pre-planned attempt to evade the authorities".
