I wonder about the guard handle the horse perfectly with one hand even if it freaks out! Deep Respect!!!
it didnt "freak out" it was scared and nervous
He didn’t handle it good tf...? He was the reason that the horse did that. The horse was shaking his head violently and only calmed down a little when he released the reigns for a few seconds. Every time he yanked on the horses mouth (with a giant bit in it btw) the horse freaked out more and spun in circles and danced around to relieve the pressure and pain in its mouth. Horses don’t do things for no reason. HE was the reason
Also notice how ALL of the horses are throwing their heads? That’s Bc they’re yanking too hard on the bit. When a horse is relaxed it won’t do taht
@@gamingwithpros4047 sorry, my english is not so good
@@Chxrries sorry, my english is not good
I knew right away it was the tasdle they had hooked to the bridle everyone he moved it moved n couldn't get away from it when he came back table gone n the horse did fine. Sometime u have yo put yourself in their shoes n see it from their point of view. Very intelligent animals we just take things for granted. Beautiful horse. 😍
Deborah I think you might be onto something there...😊...I appreciate and respect but I agree sometimes humans ask too much without paying attention to the little things like over tacking etc.❤️🐎❤️
Tassel was still on the bridle when the horse came back in.
You are spot on! He kept moving away (backing) and even when he was going forward his hindquarters were crouched ready to “get away from it”.
The tassel is still there.
It's a shame the guard just couldn't remove the tassle.
Last time I saw something like that for such a well trained horse - it had a wasp stuck under its harness and was being repeatedly stung!
That’s what I was wondering if there was something going on with that poor horse. A wasp 🐝 or some other insect repeatedly biting it ..or something! That’s not a sign of a bad day- that’s sign of distress!
Nahhh. Just didnt want to stand didnt pigroot
Just an off day! We all get them...beautiful horses 🐎
Something is annoying that horse, you can see by the way his tail keeps swishing.
tf? its not just an "off day", the horse was scared and nervous
Absolutely.Body launage
A very accomplished rider, as they all are. The right decision was made on the day. It's not easy even though they make it look so. They are animals which need to be treated with respect, which clearly they are.
If you think that fool was an accomplished rider then you know very little about horses. The animal is still clearly in discomfort when they bring him back out. A truly accomplished rider would have looked further into the issue.
I agree hes just moving around he doesn't want to stand still he wants to go. He doesn't want to stand going crazy would be running around bucking raring. He's not doing any of that so far.
The rider looked wide big and possibly overweight?
@@angustheterrible3149 The horse that came back was not the same I noticed.
@Nona Knight no way would a soldier be overweight.
Fantastic Soldiers, and their horses. It’s a difficult job if something is bothering a horse, these soldiers deserve such respect. Well done you guys and thank you for your service . 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
nobody was bothering the horse, the horse was just scared and nervous
@@gamingwithpros4047 Yeah I agree 😧 Some sort of discomfort.... 😢
The key here is something is bothering a well trained horse. He should have taken the horse in immediately to discover the cause. They can’t tell you with words. All they have is actions, and the horse tried several times.
@@sparhawkable 👍❤️🐎❤️
@@gamingwithpros4047 not scared and nervous, last time I saw a horse trying to nip at its sides and showing discomfort like that under saddle along with the flanks looking a bit sucked in, to me the horse was showing signs of starting to colic. One other horse I was riding started acting like that we had checked asap and found he had a pinched nerve in the spinal under the saddle area, no clue how he did it either, figured from rolling on uneven ground in his pen at the campground . Hope they got that horse checked out and treated properly instead of righting it off as it just having a "bad day". Just watched further into the video and see they don't care about the horse, brought him back out and still showing signs of discomfort and didn't bother to bring a different horse out. Poor judgement IMO.
You just know what is going through the heads of every other rider here. That is very unusual behaviour and shows even the best trained have an off day from time to time. All credit to the rest of the Guards for keeping their charges calm and ordered. Several were getting frisky.
He doesn't want to stand there .Maybe in an ant bed .
This horse was neither crazy nor running. That horse was either being hurt by something in its bridle or breastcollar, OR it was spooked by the tassel (not sure), OR it had a bad experience being in that place in the lineup. That horse wasn't being bad. It was reacting to some kind of stimulus. The way it was wringing its tail, it was really upset or uncomfortable. Something in the bridle may have been pinching it. A horse CAN react because it simply wants to go back to the stable, but I think that horse was having or had had some kind of bad experience.
I agree.
I'm with you on that it was as you say hurting or stressed. It may be that it is not its normal rider, horses have there lives and dislikes as well as we do.
Thank you, "goats and roses",
for possible reasons for the
horse being agitated.
I too noticed the tassle,
and was glad to learn
from your post that it
was taken off....🐎🌫️
🇬🇧💕🐎🌫️🐎🌫️💕🇬🇧
Guy did a great job. If you watch, he seems to be trying to get away from the tassel underneath his chin. I think that's why he keeps backing up.
Agree, and the spurs constantly poking.❤️🐎❤️
"goes absolutely crazy" if you think that's a horse going crazy you've not spent too much time around horses 🤦🏻🤣
😂👍😂
Right!
Just being bratty.
That's just a hook
@@jayneterry8701 no shit sherlock 🤣🤣
I'm not a horse person, but I think the horse did admirably. We all have "off days," so why can't a horse? Good work on the rider's part.
Great handling of a troublesome mount. Well done on the other horses and riders for not losing their cool.
he;s got his spur in and was confusing the horse. Not only that but he looks to be a300 pounder, some horses don't like to carry that much weight
I thought I heard a drone whirr sound, it might have added to horse behavior. Also note some change in tack when horse and rider returned at the end of video. While those uneducated in horses might think this horse was being mistreated, fact is rider did stellar job controlling his mount and preventing problem from spreading.
Horse straight up said: I'm resigning.
It takes 4yrs to train a drum horse and the white horses are used by the trumpeters and are absolutely gorgeous to look at❤❤❤ and as for saying theyre not highly trained, try playing an instrument while controlling a big horse with you're legs and keeping instep with all the other horses and the horse has to understand what he's supposed to be doing Give them the respect they deserve❤❤❤
According to the household mounted Calvary you tube channel it takes 18 mos the train a drum horse.
@@rsoubiea There was a recent series on TV which showed the horses and the soldiers training behind the scenes and that's what they said I'm sure, but I could've remembered it wrong,either way they are stunning animals
Probably wishes for a gallop along the beach. Beautiful well trained horses and expert soldier riders. 😍 💖🐎
Cap.. horses don’t daydream abt a run on the beach bruh.. they don’t think like humans do. Also the riders are literally the reason why the horses are uncomfortable. They keep tossing their heads and swishing their tails Bc THEYRE IN PAIN AND THE BUT IS BEING YANKED TOO HARD. If you think that’s good riding you need to watch some @think like a horse
These are far from expert riders. The horse is in distress. An expert rider would figure out the problem. It isn't hard.
It amazes me the other 🐴🐎 stayed calm
They all know their jobs.
Such magnificent looking animals!🤩🤩🤩
I don’t think that beautiful white horse likes the tassel hanging down and it is spooking it!
Every time he tossed his head the huge tassel seemed to hit him in the face which probably caused him to play up.
Agree
That's what I thought 🤔. It looked like it was annoying him/her
They are used to them from foals
Don't be ridiculous he would have been perfectly well used to it long before going on parade. He was having a bad day, horses aren't robots, it happens to the quietest of them
Wouldn't say horse went crazy, he was just having a fully five minutes and was bored. Trooper handled him very well.
He's beautiful but he was stressed. ( it almost seemed like a fun little dance) but sometimes this may happen. Love to them and the amazing Guards always ❤
Poor horse!!!! He's stressed. He's so beautiful
Poor beautiful horse. It looked like he was in great discomfort for some reason. We must always treat them with respect and understanding 😪❤
The tassel was annoying him ..
The trumpeter of The Lifeguards rides a grey horse and wears a red plumes trumpeter of of The Blues and Royals rides a grey horse and wears a red cloak, this is so that they stand out in the midst of battle.
Thank you for the explaination. 👍
Thank you, interesting
That horse looks as though he's following the guards instructions. Is it something the guard is doing to make it behave that way?
@@Yorkie2 it is not following the musician's instructions, that is the problem, he was trying to keep it under control until he gave up and took it to the stables, bringing it back after it had calmed down.
He only wears the cloak when weather dictates it. Below the cloak he wears the dark blue tunic like the rest of the regiment. The other difference between the trumpeters and the other troopers (in the B&R and Life Guards) besides the white horses is they typically do not wear the breast and back plates. This is typical of all cuirassier regiments dating back to Napoleon.
The other trooper that stands out is the farrier of the Blues & Royals - he wears a black plume on his helmet, and carries a large shiny axe with a pointed end.
As an accomplished rider he did all the things he should of the horse was not happy at all and what people call the white horse it's actually called a grey xx
Incredible control . Something was bothering the grey. Dealt with expertly and without a hint of panic.
Stand by for all the " expert " comment.
I was literally going to post the same thing lol!
Skills are amazing, well in control, we all have our off days but the kings guard did a fantastic brilliant job, horse and rider perfectly atuned, the kings horse was in good hands and would have been relieved to get back to his stall, he just had an off day.
That horse had too much fun playing with the tassel under his chin 😂
I don't think he's had enough tassel training. Every time he moved his head and it bounced around he started backing up attempting to get away from it. Probably thinking "Hey, I have a tail at the other end. I don't need one under my chin, hitting me around the face and tapping me in the chest every time I move." (I'm not sure about how they train, but we used to use tapping on the horse's chest when teaching them to back up on halter as babies.)
That horse is having none of this nonsense. Take me for a run, walk or back to the barn please.😂❤
Yeah and no one cares.
My heart was pounding all through this video hoping the horse won't hurt the guard
I used to handle many horses for many years and not once, did a horse hurt me or did I experience other horses hurt other people. Small incidents where a horse could snap at you by mistake or make a statement of “stay away”, but nothing close to “hurt”. Horses are gentle and kind animals that do not have any malice in their nature.
I feel so sorry for the guardsman. He is doing his very best to control the horse. Obviously the horse is having a bad day.
And one handed as he keep ahold of the horn
the horse was nervous
The horses are outstanding and patient with all they are expected to tolerate. They have people constantly rubbing them and some pulling on the reins and halter. In addition there is the noise. The guardsmen, it goes without saying, are fine examples of the British army. They too have to tolerate people who are inconsiderate and plain rude.
Something is obviously scaring this poor horse...
The guardsman was too heavy.
That beautiful horse was throwing his toys out of the stable 🤣🤣🤣
True!
Seems the tassel was bothering him,then there's the flag his rider had that would have been something coming into his line of sight that could have been frightening too. Rider did a great job with his horse.im happy they left so as not to have further issues.
Sometimes a horse has pain and they can't tell you...I think the tassel was irritating him, too.
Absolute respect.🇬🇧
Sometimes there can be something wrong with their body- in pain. My girlfriend had a horse that kept bucking everybody off. Found out that the horse had a back that was crippled, the spine wasn't straight.
Just an observation as a horseman. Guard was giving conflicting messages to the horse. His spurs were on the horse's sides many times, even when the horse complied and stood. His reins were way too tight when he was asking the horse to move forward. So the combination of spur and pulling on the reins is telling the horse to go backward. Guard tenses up, which brings more spur to horse's side, and gets tighter on the rein which escalates the situation. Guard might have de-escalated by breathing, relaxing, using calf pressure instead of spur, and give the horse more rein when he complies with what was wanted. More rider training needed.
I noticed his overuse of the spurs as well. Felt sorry for the horse.
Do you think the rider will be told of this? He won't take it out on the horse will he ?
just a thought, I'm sure they know a lot more about dealing with their horses than you do.
You forget a lot of these young men can't ride.They only have 10 to 15 weeks training.
Noticed that too. Lots of digs into horse's sides. Poor animal didn't know what to do. Also thought it quite thin on back end, may be ill??
It's a mare - and they do have days like that occasionally!
No sorry they only have geldings. One of the guards was talking to the reporter and said that they only use geldings.
@@pamelanay2195 I'm afraid it is a mare! Look under the tail at about 9.33 plus it has no sheath. Some of the black horses are mares too
Why did the guard that was being interviewed say all the horses gelded?
@@pamelanay2195 I think he meant that all the male horses are gelded - they don't use stallions.
@@gillpage1057 oh ok 👍
Horse looked like he wanted to square up but something wasn't making him happy, maybe the tassel was a new or maybe the rider's leads. If the tassel, I guess the longer the horse works with it, the more adjusted it will become. Glad the horse was taken out of the lined to go collect itself.
The tassel is part of its normal tack.
@@Sharon-bo2se But is he a newbie horse? 🤔 If not then I guess maybe the aids were being too hard or too soft so communication wasn't fluid. It is a working relationship between both.
@@Foxytrot-sx2vd even well versed horses have off days!
@@MaxxsMummy Horses and people. 👍
@@Foxytrot-sx2vd Nice comment thank you.❤️🐎❤️
Good job. First I thought the rider had the reins to tight, but when he turned I could see that wasn’t the case. I figured some piece of tack was not in the correct position. A comment below, I believe is correct. The tassel under his chin was the culprit. He didn’t go crazy, just trying to get away from the silly thing.
The guard handled the horse very well.Someone could have been hurt.These soldiers deserve respect.Thank you for your service.
I can see his spur is touching his side, if you get poked in the side, you'd jump around too.
The horse was feeling great discomfort from the bit placed too tightly within the mouth, causing panic and stress. This occurs every now and then, and even a well trained horse won't stay calm in this situation. The guard should have noted this and alerted for a quick replacement.
Honor and respect to these men in arms and their guard horses 🕊for their excellent duty.
Not crazy !! Just very unsettled, the guard used excellent judgement when he took him in, however well trained horses have bad moments, they serve us well, but they are not robots, being treated as a tourist attraction by noisy crowds, would unsettle any animal 😔
Props to the Guardsman
If the rider dropped his heals, he would give the horse some relief from his constantly nagging spurs! No wonder the poor horse was uneasy!
My horse (also a grey) would act like that when there was a bot fly about.
Very accomplished rider. Well done.
Idiot who knows nothing of what his horse was feeling.
I don’t think she “went crazy” I see bucking rearing sidestepping and running off as being crazy. She was just upset and nervous. MY mare on the other hand, would lose her shit in that environment. I would be staring up from the ground as she’s running off.
They horses are all Gelding. They were interviewing and they said that the horses are geldings.
@@pamelanay2195 yes mostly RID and ISH
It's sad, but the majority of tourists THINK that the Royal Guards and Horses are just for show and the Police are for security with guns. But the Guards are actual military men and women ready and fully trained for war if needed.
The ̶C̶o̶r̶p̶o̶r̶a̶l̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶H̶o̶r̶s̶e̶s̶ Officers chatting in the middle and then the Trumpeter casually moonwalking behind them is priceless XD
I certainly wouldn’t call that “crazy” 😂 Misbehaving is a better description…
I'd get antsy too having to wait so long in line.
he's got his spur in the horses side the whole time, no wonder the horse is freaking out
I noticed that as well
?? Nobody is going to comment on the fact that the rider was 500 POUNDs... the poor horse was fighting for it's life.
That is heavy over 35 stone do not think the rider would be a.lowed on the horse if he was that weight!,!
Did anybody else see the public running or did I blink and miss it...
Just wish the poster gets facts right and create true headlines
I would like to know the breeds of horses that the guards and the officers showed in this video are riding. Some of the public may like to know that too!
All the horses of both regiments of the household cavalry are from Ireland
They are Irish bred horses, Irish Draught mares crossed with Thoroughbred stallions.
Almost no such thing as a white horse -they are all actually grey, born dark grey and get whiter with age.
Thank you,interesting
He knows the cameraman is behind him, he's always looking for the unusual to happen in crowds..
It cracks me up when these horses decide to go back to the stables. Mic drop!
He was just saying "not today, I'm not in the mood."
What I saw was a horse that was annoyed (ears pinned, active tail) by its handler giving confusing signals. Tight reins, leg position and pulling on the bit are instructing the horse to back up. Handler needs to watch his hand position too.
The late Queen Elizabeth was gifted two white horses, maybe three years ago, the photograph was beautiful of the Queen with a horse either side of her.
The only things I can think of that would agitate the horse that bad are 1. that flag to close to his eyes 2. that flopping tassel 3, a stallion on the opposite side he wanted to fight if they are not gelded 3. maybe there was a mare in heat and he was not gelded.
They should teach the riders the circle dance when their horses misbehave like that. It's the gentlest way I've found for a misbehaving horse and once they know they will have to do this every time they misbehave, I've found that they are less likely to do it! : )
When your jabbing a horse in the ribs with spurs on without relief you get a horse trying to get away from the pain.
My thought exactly.. I think spurs are cruel and not necessary, poor horse.
Just to be sure, I would get the white horse checked by a chiropractor. The weight of the tassel could be making a nerve flare up and the horses can't tell us. I would have it checked by a chiropractor and give Bute just a short while before tacking up to see if it helps. Often pain is more tolerable with movement, which makes standing for long periods very difficult. And when the horse feels relief of pain through movement, it will seek that movement even over the objections of a rider and despite the hours of training and years of experience.
Thank you Shirley....This makes alot of sense.❤️🐎❤️
And rider weight, even 'though many ignore such, it should be an important item to all riders. A Horse's spine has a limit to the strength of the tissue that binds their spinal segments together.
Wow the Blues stayed Cool as Ice.. Horses sometimes become very Freaked .. It's Not thier fault... My Pa was A Blues Rest his Soul XXXX
The worst thing you can do is wear spurs while on a high-strung horse. When a horse is misbehaving, the usual instinct is to squeeze the legs for added security and unless you really know what you are doing, you will unconsciously spur the horse and then the fun begins. When a horse is upset, the only thing to do is just what the guy did, take him out of line, check his tack to see if anything is pinching especially under the saddle and then let it calm down in its own time. If a horse is truly upset, you ARE NOT going to calm him down.
because the horse is "white" (technical term is actually grey because when they're born, they are grey, then their coat slowly becomes white) doesn't mean it is rare, the horse was getting nervous as shown and had to be taken in for the horse's and the rider's safety. the horse is "white" because the rider is a trumpeter and stands out in battle (i think)
please pin!!
@ gaming with pros...correct! A true ' white' horse has pink skin, noticeable around the eyes and muzzle.
It’s “rare” because the horses employed for this job are usually black or dark bay. The white horse signifies the trumpeter’s role, so they are not common in that setting
That tassel under his chin did nothing but upset the poor animal!
The horse is being driven to distraction by that red tassel on it's chin. It can see it bouncing around all the time & cannot shake it off.
It's been worn many times
Beautifull horse
And they handle those horses so well with just one hand on the reins
Yes it is time to take the horse in and see what is distressing it.
He's not limping, but he keeps holding up the right rear leg when he stops.
Beautiful horse was trying to ascert themselves.
The horse must have been very distressed 😢
It seems standing still for a long time must be hard for a horse.🤔🐴❤️
For some.
White horse: somebody! Take this big guy out of me 😆
That poor horse, the rider has a tight rein indicating back up command the spurring to go forward. Do they ever relax the rein on these horses. I’m surprised the horse didn’t flip over backwards !
Looks like that silly tassle is bothering the horse. He can just see and feel the tassle under his chin. The poor thing wants the tassle gone.
These men are excellent horsemen !
Love to watch them.
Ronald Reagan was another EXcellent horseman!
Some are women 😂
Digging your spurs into a horse that's upset it's really not a good idea. He was digging his left spur in when the horse was standing in line which made it go to the right. And then he put both Spurs on him which is of course is going to further upset the horse.
A spur in the right hands is merely an aid and this man is quite the horseman he wasn’t digging he was signaling
@@bethalvarez6956Look closely at the beginning. You can see the skin fold on the horses side. In the beginning he was using his left spur to combat his being off balance on the horse forcing it to move to the right. That was no horseman. Heels are an aid, legs are an aid seat is an aid. He did not need to dig a spur into an upset horse.
I thought the rider was a bit heavy. I viewed the horse as wanting to be frisky and playful not crazy or stressed. Beautiful animal and excellent horse riders.
The fact this guy called a horse “white” says everything 🤣🤦♂️
The kid says what the horse was thinking, “ are they going to start.?” Lol
Surprised to see a mare in the group. I just assumed the horses were all geldings. The mare may be taking exception to the presence of the next horse so close.
I also felt the rider was over-using the spurs.
Your right they all are gelding.
Yeah those spurs seamed to send a mixed message,they dug in no matter how and where the horse moved.... And they looked extra brutal.❤️🐎❤️
Rider controled the horse brilliantly....that was the horses idea of "behaving" lol 😂
One of the trumpeters horses is a very spirited horse. The Corporal of the horse usually rides it. Not sure if the Corporal is also the trumpeter but that looks like the frisky one. Just noticed the corporal of the horse was on another grey horse behind em.
And he’s not even allowed to reach down and try to comfort him
In book by Sandra Day O'Connor ( Lazy B) she wrote of how a horse was upset by wind blowing it's tail from behind up into its belly. (The cowboy's solution was to cut the tail short.)
This horse want to impress people with his Michael Jackson dance 💃 routine!
😂😂😂
All of the guards and horses standing still: 👀
Seriously though, poor horse. I hope he’s okay. 😢
i wonder what the other horses were thinking as this is going on? could be funny and interesting. the white horse could be thinking, 'so long, peeps!'
I believe that horse is uncomfortable for some reason…..saddle pinching or girth pinching…sore mouth ….there could be so many reasons….I hope they find out.😊
He is scared of the thing hanging down. Whoever put that in the uniform did not understand horses.
What ever he has in his hand flaping is making the horse nervous. Plus probably a harsh bit and spurs.
