It was wonderful how the guard knew the horse needed water. It just shows the bond between the soldiers and the horses. Who knew this same horse is a pickpocket. 😆
The guard could read his horse , good on him for pressing the emergency button and horse got some water he must feel much better after the long drink. 🐎
@@Tusna44 the mini cobbles are very old and slippery, it’s a ‘tradition’ v ‘safety’ issue I believe and much as I love the tradition I’d rather the Troopers and their horses were safe. I’ve written to a couple of people about the state of affairs at Horse Guards, I don’t expect to get a reply in all honesty but I’ve suggested the ‘paint on’ rubber matting. We’ll see! 🙄🙄
@@Tusna44 well don’t quote me please, there was a lot of years passed by between the last actual visit to Horse Guards and my virtual visits on YT they may have been changed in between but if so they’ve not worn well. Did you see the vid where the Trooper had his boot caught on either a rein or the bit? He went down with such an unearthly thump that I can’t believe that they both walked away. I’ll bet they’re both badly bruised after that. Granted it wasn’t caused by the flooring but I’ll bet that it didn’t help and I’ve seen three slips recently.
I hold my breath every time I see some dimwitted adult move a small child close to the horse for a photo-op! No one should be allowed closer than 6 ft. from the horse, let alone touching them. As someone who has seen what a horse can do to someone acting foolish, you do NOT want to be on the receiving end of a full-on horse bite!
Because its normal horse behavior. Its not funny. Its just a horse being a horse. Some horses are mouthy. They like to feel stuff with their mouth. They use the mouth like we use our hands. And they like to groom - mutual grooming. I groom you + you groom me: first with the lips + later the teeth. If you allow the mouthing with the lips than the horse will think its ok later to use the teeth. But to the horse that is not a "bite". Its grooming. Horses also will grab items + swing it around to play - like with that purse. That is a horse in a good mood wanting to play. He does not know that is a purse. Plus equestrians have a grooming kit that comes in a purse like shape. It contains brushes + curry combs + hoof picks. Often horses will pick up the grooming kit + swing it around. Maybe he mistook that purse for his grooming kit. And if its a bite, its fast + hard. And most likely will leave a bruise. But yes they can nip. But then the ears are pushed back. But this horse is very relaxed in a good mood. The majority of these people were nervous around a horse. I am quite ok with a horse rubbing its head on me. 😊 been working with them since 2019...
@@sarahb.6475 Agree with everything you say except not being funny, to me it is because as you say that's normal horse behaviour and yet the tourists have no clue/common sense/ haven't read the signs. So I do find it amusing, but I just see this horse as having a cheeky personality, as you say, he seems happy 😊
Loved the interaction between the horse and the lady in jeans starting at 12.39,the pure joy on her face at being able to stroke the beautiful horse was a delight to see
I am amazed at the guards, the horses get attention some are funny and the guard doesn't even crack a smile but when his horse is "abused" they come unglued. I've never been there but my mother raised me to be respectful of English customs.
Sadly it would be dangerous for them. They are there to guard after all. I think there should be white lines to keep the tourist away from the horses. Pawing hands all the time .. too dreadful.
Absolutely ! Agree with you ! Hope so. Horses and guards ARE AT WIRK. Horses should not be annoyed, teased or bullied with insistent touches. Yes there should be a fence keeping people at a distance. ….. 👌
Finally a very relaxed horse! He looks sort of sleepy too, especially with that stumble at the very beginning. His mind is not on where he is. I have had George stumble like that when I was riding him a few times.
It's a horse, people, not a dog. It doesn't have to sniff your hand. If you're afraid of the horse, don't get close to it and jump backwards. You really don't look well doing that.
I Think that guard is a very handsome soldier he has a very distinctive face when on duty and you have such a beautiful horse you both look so proud and so you should be 😊😊.
One of Guards was told off recently for not standing outside the box. Apparently it was very hot, the horse enjoyed the shade. Perhaps the Officer should stand in the sun with all the gear and see how he feels about it🤔🤔🤔🫡🫡. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 72yrs
How those Knight Guards put up with all those tourists is beyond me. Their patience is to be commended. And when they got upset that their horses are being manhandled like they are on a regular basis shame on those tourists. Those horses say when they dont want to be touched, its obvious.
This horse is great, he knows how to move people on he is hot and cranky and is not fond of tourists at all I love him when he bites, it is amazing to me how they don't feel how cross and hot he is he had already pushed them away, and he had beautifully lined up his bite area. I think this is Arnie
@@anjou6497are you sure. Pure black, no markings, gentle with kids, snippy with their parents, shoving people away and taking the odd nibble cos the sign says he “may”. if it wants to. If it looks like Arnie, acts like Arnie and passes the time like Arnie, grabs clothes & bags like Arnie then it’s more than likely Arnie.
@@elainebrooksbank5281 Yes, i'm sure. Just checked on utube ; Arnie is a smaller, black gelding (or mare for all we know, the name came from the public i believe ) . With no white markings, but a notable white headstrap, same as this horse, who is a dark bay/brown. It's possible Arnie has some white near his fetlocks but i can't see re camera angle. ☺️🌱💙
This horse has been to the "Arnie" school for horse's but this isn't Arnie...I still can't believe some people will put their hands and arms in a horse's mouth, they do bite lol bites hurt
These tour guides need to tell these people the etiquette with photos with the kings guards because it’s a joke how many still carry on breaking the rules
No debería permitir que todas las personas le toquen la cara al caballo por qué pueden tener las manos sucias y le pueden contagiar alguna alergia o alguna enfermedad al caballo
Who said that they should stay out the box if it’s that hot it’s a piece of nonsense they should be in the shade all ways it is that hot let the bore be cool
The sign says the horses “may” kick or bite and, given the necessary permission, some obviously think it would be rude not to. Taking a nibble out of some tourists who think that sign is there just to decorate the wall is one way to pass the time. I always amazes me how many parents shove their kids nearest to the horses mouth for that spectacular holiday snap while they stay further away. Or the ones who let their very squishy kids get within stomping distance of those iron shod hooves attached to a huge, very heavy horse. I also think some of the guards use their helmet’s chin strap to cover their mouths to hide a sneaky grin at what their horse can get away with which they can’t. Although I feel that their unsheathed swords could, at times, be put to a more practical use than just resting on their shoulder. I wonder how many tourists go home with a horse bite mark along with the other souvenirs of their trip to our Capitol.
Those nips are the horse's way of saying "Get your (pony)tail outta my face...Don't point that thing at me!" They see a swinging tail and think it's a rear end of another horse about to kick them. If you notice, none of the ones that face the horse, or stand facing the same direction get nipped!
There is a sign that says as clear as day the horse may bite...DOH how many people did this horse nibble on. As the great Jethro Tull said....TO BE THICK AS A BRICK...
I've mentioned a few times, when its hot and humid, should be giving the horses electrolytes. I used to ride horses when I lived in Florida, where it can be really hot and humid at times. Stables I rode at gave their horses electrolytes every day especially in hot weather. That and because some idiots would run the heck out of the horses in that weather. One horse I like riding, tall Palin ink named Billie. One time it had rained alot. So there were some water covered trail areas. I think he had more fun then I did, going through the water. Probably felt good and cool to him. My jeans were soaked from knees down. Lol
They’re given electrolytes in some food, every time they go back to the stable. There’s a video on Ytube of how the horses get that meal and are also cooled down and sweat washed off, every time they go off the hour’s duty outside. In the video you can also see them ‘ bobbing for apples’ ie getting apples from a water trough. Dipping their heads in water a bit, also cools them down.
I REALLY wish people would stop jumping to conclusions about the care of these horses. The Guards take VERY good care of their mounts. They have their own veterinary corps, they are fed the best food, each with a diet catering to its needs. They are exercised EVERY day, and they have several troopers at their beck and call, to groom, muck out and fetch and carry for them.
They are not deprived of water , they are on duty in the box for 1 hour then changed over . In stables they will have had water and food before and on return to stables a cool rub down water and electrolyte feed .
Que es molesta esta gente porque no entienden que el uniformado y su caballi estan trabajando di quieren una foto ponganse en un lugar prudente para no molestar

I think he was biting everyone. Lol
Nibbles just Nibbles 😂😂
Do NOT touch
What is wrong with these people???😳
This horse has a lovely personality ❤
Great intimate interaction of soldier giving the horse water. Beautiful.
Yes i was moved by that. 👍☺️💙
I bet he feels better now he's happy now he's had a nice cold drink of water. Just what the Vet ordered !!💝💝💝💝
Yes, whew ! 👍☺️💙
Some of the posing is hilarious. The horse giving the people a little nip is pretty funny.
Gorgeous horse, i'm glad he got a drink of water; i don'think he was enjoying that hot sun on his head.. 💙

As much as horses seem to like children,,they need adult super vision..... Not ignorant supervision
It troubles me that the people think that this is an petting zoo for their pleasure. 😮 550

This horse is so sweet and patient with the tourists. I’ve seen some videos of some on not so great days. Bravo on the water!

The poor horses think they are getting a carrot or sugar lump and all they get is a nasty germ-ridden hand. They have to be stopped.
That's the first time I've seen them get a drink.
They are only on guard for an hour at a time, so I imagine when they change they will have drink.😊
They do water them quite often❤❤
Make me mad the rude people can put there nasty hands all over the mouth and nose but dont touch the reigns

Most of the known biters are like that. Kids, no problem.... Adults? "I don't like you, go away"
This horse is saying why won't you pet me. The lady in the green dress seemed to be a favorite for him/her. Nudging and smelling.
@9:30 do they really have to crowd round the horse like that, it’s such a hot 🥵 day already
Suns got to the idiots again.

You just don't know what these tourist feed the Horses
You got mints in that bag? LOL
Omg they have to keep that crazy lady away altogether. The guard would yell and she would laugh
Can they put sawdust on the poo....??? Surely better than letting the horses slip on his own toilet.....😮😮😮
Hate to see the horse being smothered with hands.
I get that they are on duty but I think the guard should be allowed a drink of water as well. Health should win over protocol.
At least they're on duty for only an hour at a time. There should be nice cool drinks for guard and horse when they go back in to the stables.

Bonjour, les chevaux de la garde son juste magnifique
That brown horse is stunning.
Poor horse! Talk him back to his stall and check him over and let him rest the rest of the day.
Looks like they need to put rubber mating down for the horses to stand on non slipping that way
How long does it take to click the camera
I have often seen the guard’s horses slip on the cobblestones in the sentry boxes. Perhaps some non slip tungsten pimples in the heels of their shoes? I have always found them very effective on that sort of surface.
Not a petting zoo. The horse is on duty too!!
I noticed the horse was sweating alot and seems lethargic. It's good they are that In tuned to they're horses.
What’s it they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it swim backstroke 😂😂
The horse absolutely seemed more energetic after the drink.
They know how to look after there horses
Why don’t they clean the horses area some before shift change.. for the safety of guards, visitors, horses…so they do not slip?
Don’t touch the horse! It’s working! Would you pet a service dog? No! Why? Because it’s working and can’t be distracted. The horse is the same thing! Leave it alone! It’s not a freakin’ petting zoo.
Don't put your children alone under or close the big Military Horse. The horse is not fine. The guard is worry about its condition.
Ahhh...a horse's nose, just like velvet
They should put fans in there to blow on horse and rider.
