You won't get people patting guard dogs so why are they patting the horses. They are lucky the horses don't bite or kick them. The horse doesn't seam to enjoy it he is moving his head towards the person nudging the person away
It’s astonishing how visitors at a military base with military active guards and active military horses act like there at an amusement park, so disgusting and disrespectful makes me sick and embarrassed!! You just can’t fix stupid! Deepest respect for guards and guard horses!! Very proud and honored for your service. ❤
Big bosses never listen to reason and when the accident waiting to happen actually happens, they shift the blame onto those who have no authority to make the changes needed.
Согласен. Тоже не понимаю - почему разрешают трогать лошадь. Не разбираюсь в психологии лошадей, но мне кажется, это должно утомлять лошадь, что к целый день чужие руки тянутся к морде.
When one of the little kids gets stepped on, bitten or just seriously hurt by one of the horses, the irresponsible parents will be up in arms and screaming for the horses to be banned! It’s ridiculous how common sense flies out the window with these people!
Die meisten Menschen sind nun mal nicht sehr intelligent. Das Denken fällt ihnen schwer. Sie sehen es einfach als ihr Recht an durch ihre eintrittskarte auch keine Respekt vor den Tieren und dem Militär zu haben.👎👎👎 Erasmus aus Schweden
At the very least, mounted Guards and their mounts should only be approached by tourists from one side at a time. There is little control when they are mobbed from both sides. Several times in the video, the horse attempted to bite...especially at flying pony tails. If you've ever had a horse bite your long locks, it feels like it's being ripped out from the roots, not to mention being slimed from the horse's mouth. How can parents be so dumb? At the end of that segment big daddy had to get in on the action by grabbing at the reins in front of his kids. Swell.
I read in a comment to another video that the Horseguards are no longer allowed to yell at tourists for touching the horse's reins or otherwise being disrespectful. They can only raise their voices in an emergency. If true, it's a shame. If any group of people deserved to be yelled at and even more, it's these tourists.
Has this been confirmed? People need to be yelled at when they blatantly don't follow the rules. Grabbing on a horse's reigns is like grabbing the steering wheel of a car you're a passenger in no?
those disrespectful boys along with their disrespectful mother were practically hanging off that poor horse I am shocked that the guard never said anything to those awful children and indeed that mother who is dragging them up, without manners and any common decency
It’s unbelievable how they let little children approach these horses because even the best tempered ones can be unpredictable.The parents are just stupid.
@@jjk2oneI’ve been around horses my whole life you cannot ever bend down in front of a 1000 pound horse with deadly hooves! Show respect for the horse and his POWER!!! And if their toddler gets hurt it’s the horse’s fault! They just want a good picture for Facebook! It could cost them their child’s life

This is so becoming a circus. I would much rather stand back and watch these guards doing their job without all the tourists around. It just takes away all the nostalgia and integrity of what these guards represent.
It's all for show, and tourism, what do you expect? 90% of the tourists are respectful. How come none of you ever notice the very happy people. Such negativity. This is a show!!!
@@Lafata44 What do you mean by a show? These are highly trained members of the armed forces, this is an age old tradition of guarding St James's Palace and Buckingham palace. This is not for..or a SHOW! Have some respect for our military boys and girls, who do a wonderful job on and off their horses.
@@JaneH-rj9jt It's a show in that the old-time uniforms and changing of the guards, like you say, is a very old tradition that is continued today for show. Of course they're real soldiers, elsewhere, but in contemporary times, if it wasn't a show they'd be wearing modern uniforms that allow them to move and run. They can barely walk or see in the traditional garb. England has all the pomp and circumstance for the world and tourism to see and admire. Be nice.
Don't touch the horse Dont touch the hoses nose Dont touch the reins Don't touch the guard Don't touch the guards boots Don't feed the horses they are well cared for and fed. Don touch the horse with your. hands full of germs. Don't touch anything meaning absolutely anything. This is not a petting zoo or Disneyland..It is a. Military building. Military post with soldiers on duty there. ❤️❤️❤️ ♥️
It should be up in every language, but even with 1 don't phrase hung up for all to see the tourists ignorance is prominent & have shown they'll do it anyway thinking its a game and entertaining laughs
It amazes me how foolish tourists can become. There should be strict rules with fines. No one should touch, impede or agitate the guards and horses. Tourists can get pictures with the guards and horses at safe proper distance. This distance needs marked and not crossed.
As a Veteran I understand the need for proper behavior at all times. But I have to say, I commend the Guards with the highest respect showing absolute calm dealing with what I see as utterly disrespectful citizens. I am not sure why petting is allowed, photos I can understand provided it's done with respect and caution. Maybe I am missing something, but I can only imagine what these soldiers talk about behind closed doors.
No you are notmissing anything Touching of these animals should definitely not be permitted The guards do not like to be touched and should not be touched so why is it okay for people to be mauling these horses I noticed some of the kids were very small coming very close to the horse and no parent in sight They need to change this These animals deserve better
❤🇺🇸 Hi, I agree with you. I m embarrassed for those disrespectful tourists. I wonder if they ever see these videos and if they are embarrassed. Magnificent horses!
Many!! People are ALWAYS coping calling petting and even giving treats to service dogs. 😢 very dangerous for the disabled person and the dog. Hands to yourself without permission folks. Let’s remember what our kindergarten taught us.
This horse is just so tolerant, he really is wonderful, it's astonishing how many people were touching him. Isn't it time though that this was stopped, the men and their horses deserve better
Absolutely disgusting behaviour from that mother! Well done to the Guard for telling her to have some respect. Those little brats were almost hanging off the horse's reins. Why the hell didn't the mother stop them? Pity the Guard didn't use his boot on them, kick them where it hurts! Totally disrespectful the mother couldn't care less.
I hope the poor horse got some medical care after those boys hung on the reins. Mother with no common sense . Much respect to the guard and his well trained horse.
I wish they would put up a sign saying " THESE GUARDS AND HORSES ARE WORKING! PLEASE DON'T PET AND/OR TOUCH THE GUARDS AND HORSES! THIS ISN'T A PETTING ZOO! DON'T LEAVE CHILDREN BY HORSES FOR SAFETY! 👍❤️📹😳🤨😤😃
@@tombrooks8898Maybe they haven’t. You can’t expect everyone to know about horses, all they know is what they are taught in school, H is for horse; with a pretty picture of a horse. I’m from the US and I know that a majority of people have never seen a real live horse.
Lol this reminds me of an anecdote I was watching the royal horses when one decided to take a photo with it she was accompanied by her child but the horse was angry and he bit the child the woman complained to the gendarmes that the horses were not educated enough and that the gard had to learn to hold their horses the gendarmerie just laughed and showed him the signs "be careful, horses can hit or bite" the woman said she did not see the signs and she left while muttering insults X)
None of these tourists know anything about etiquette at the horse guards parade. Barging up to the horse grabbing reins and just being horrific humans.
Many of them know nothing about horses at all! Just watch the way they approach so tentatively with outstretched hand and flinch away at the slightest movement from the horse. Never touched a horse before...
As I watch these videos, I am always shocked that tourist will not give horses and guard some “space” when the horse is distressed obviously. That just kills me. It seems that a selfie is more important than safety for the guard or the horse or THEMSELVES. Even the most well trained horse is still an animal with instinct no matter its great intelligence and training. I admire these King’s Guard women and men greatly with their great restraint.
@@martina21953 Yep,and if a horse can't go forward or back it goes up and 1700 lbs of horse coming down isn't something I'd want to be on the receiving end of😵
It absolutely astounds me that people see these guards on the horses and act like they never seen a horse before. I think they need to set up barriers to protect the guards and horses from people.

As someone who has worked for many years with horses it is essential that you learn their body language. I can assure you that this horse is in no way stressed, & is in fact happily interacting with the visitors. The important thing is that visitors do not feed them anything. That would cause a problem. If horses don’t want you in their space, you will get a warning when you are several feet away.
All those parents are clueless. That horse could be startled and bolt and they could have all been hurt. Those children are precious and the parents would blame the guard and horse if that happened. . Respect to the guards
@@timcubison9832 I already watched a video where a woman was bitten by the horse. Her husband went to the police officer to complain and was told, basically, too bad, can't you read?
@@vickiburacker4578 A lot of people... I worked in a stable and I couldn't tell you how many children I saw running on the horse's head putting their hand in their mouth or nose 🤷 quite simply because on the box it was not written "biting horse" so he thinks that the horse in question is not dangerous and harmless I have even sometimes seen children enter the stalls without permission or, accompanied by an adult, most of them end up being bitten by one of the horses. I'm sorry for my bad English lol
Sometimes I'm amazed how people don't look at what they are doing. People are waiting and so they just come barged in for a picture. Not giving a darn thing people standing behind them. The brutality is despicable.
The fact small children are allowed to stand so close to the horses' legs and feet by parents does not cease to surprise me. The parents are oblivious to the wejght and strength of the horses if he shifts forward . Makes ne sad the Guards are treated like dress-up soldiers for kidz and adults to be photographed with..Do not diminish these wonderful horses and very brave military men and women...Stop the public getting so close to them!!!!!! (How many more times?)
The beautiful horse certainly is patient with all those touchy feely tourists. It's almost like he poses. I wouldn't blame him if nipped those rude tourists.
If some of these people knew how they looked around the horse, they would be very embarrassed.How that guard can keep his patience is admirable..The guards should have more power,with what they have endure with all these rude tourists..and allowing little children to be so close on their own🤬🤬🤬🤬
Exactly. You’re not supposed to go round the back of a horse anyway and touch its rump. Same with our alpacas. I sometimes accidentally touch their rump and they respond with a “get lost!” Kick with their back leg!
it's like people have never seen a horse before. I wish they would stop allowing people to touch the horses. it just stresses them out so much. people are so entitled though, and until they stop it altogether, the horses will keep being stressed. nobody has manners anymore.
Many of them have never been close to a horse before. That shouldn't be a surprise. With no signs saying they can't touch the horse and the rider and foot soldier not telling them they can't, all they can do is go by what everyone else is doing. Before you get defensive, I have to tell you that it aggravates me to see them insisting on touching the horse's face or rushing up to sort of tap the neck or shoulder and then back away in fear as if they were dared to touch the scary horse. I had horses for forty years.
Sou neta de um oficial de Cavalaria do Exército Brasileiro e admiro profundamente o trabalho que esses militares realizam junto com esses animais majestosos e lindos! São afetuosos que estabelecem vínculo com todos. Já estão tão socializados, que nem se incomodam com o que se aproximam e o tocam de forma carinhosa e respeitosa.
Constantly we see idiot parents placing their very small children in a dangerous place all for a photo that THEY want regardless of what could possibly happen to the child, one day a poor child will be very very badly hurt. If you so badly need a photo take them up yourself hold onto them and for goodness sake keep a safe distance. Everyone has to outdo the previous one by holding the horses head or getting an inch away making look like they are so wonderful, the Guards adrenaline must be on MAX level while there is a huge crowd within feet of the poor hose and having to watch each one to make sure no one is placing others in danger by grabbing the bridle or reins. And that MOTHER and her boys grrrr ok wont say what I want to say others have said it all. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤
How tolerant this horse is of the indignities these tourists lavish on him! The Guard is being patient of these people who hurry like lemmings to surround him and his horse! Do these ignorant folk not realise they are at a military establishment? Have they really got no common decency and respect for our soldiers and their mounts??? It goes beyond belief, it really does!
So many saying oh don’t touch the horses yet none of them know horse behaviour signs 1. Horses ears forward perfect happy to be touch just don’t overcrowd it 2 horses ears laid back means it’s getting annoyed and needs a break from being touched or risk getting nipped or bitten 3 horse ears back stomping feet means back off from horse or get kicked or bitten at your own risk
Two of my favorite horses and guards in red. The white tip nosed horse is a good one. His guard on him is tall and friendly to young children and special needs kids and adults too. The red uniform guards are my most favorites. They are so compassionate, and they pose on their horses in photos. People take cute, lol 😊
I think they are all like robots programmed to be rude. Just push ppl out of the way so stupid acting ppl they act like they been locked up in their houses all their lives an d this is tge first time they been let out
Im amazed at how many adults just push right in front of children trying to get a picture totally blocking the child like they arent even there. Total disrespect of children.
Poor horses! That’s way too many people touching them in a day! A real petting zoo and so much disrespect towards them, while on the job. What patient and majestic beings!
They need to demand visitors stay at least five feet away from the guard and guard horse. It’s no wonder the poor horses get stressed and act up at times.
The level of disrespect I see on these premises appalls me. I was raised to have respect for the British monarchy; no, I'm not speaking of seeing them through rose-colored glasses and being blind to their faults. I cannot understand how the rabble that visit here thinks it's acceptable to behave like boisterous hooligans and dress in a manner better-suited either for weeding the garden or, for attending a club for an evening with one's chums.
There was a young lady who looked as if she forgot her shirt. She just had on some kind of a small corset and pants of course. If I was her mother I would not have let her out of the house.
I’ve been all over Europe and didn’t have to be told how to act and especially when it comes to the military. It doesn’t matter what part of the world you’re in.
They should NOT be ALLOWED to Touch the horses, so disrespectful, it’s like a petting zoo, it wouldn’t be allowed in any other country, the soldiers and horses are on duty, it’s just ridiculous
Why aren't the Kings Guards screaming back off! The little girl with the pacifier was afraid. Smarter than her mom. Shame on the adults for allowing this behavior.
Some Tourists remind me of people who approach a Guide dog and pets it without a word to the blind person as though they don’t exist . The same with these magnificent horses they pat and maul endlessly without even a nod of respect to the Troopers who have a difficult job to do. They are not there to please the tourists……..they are professional soldiers who serve with pride. They deserve the utmost respect.
The sooner petting is prohibited the better. I am wondering if there is a reason it is allowed?. Maybe it helps the continued standing, possibly stops the horse being bored. Either way there should be restrictions of some sort.
They did not check the area for warnings so not keeping their kids out of harm's way. It must be overwhelming for the horse to have so many from all directions.
These guards are highly trained soldiers who risk their life's for our country and other countries and yet some people don't show them any respect just laughs at them.
Sadly I agree with you. I can't abide a high proportion of the great unwashed. However, it does appear the Guards have been told that anything goes, more or less. As a result ............Give em an inch and they'll take a Mile.
There is absolutely no reason anybody other than a member of the Horseguards touch the horses. THIS IS NOT A PETTING ZOO!!!!
That’s exactly. I feel sorry for the horses putting up with all those people all day.
Probably most of them have no clue about the behavior
of horses.
They allow it. Touching is allowed. Nowhere does it say, "No Touching." GET OVER IT !!!!

All those parents are clueless. That horse could be startled and bolt and they could have all been hurt. Those children are precious and the parents would blame the guard and horse if that happened. . Respect to the guards
The parents would probably demand the horse be put down jf there kids were hurt. Totally stupid behaviour
They are Not Precious
They are brats
And they have CCTV so stupid ignorant parents can not blame the horse. Or guards. If those brats got hurt their own fault and the mother's.
@@timcubison9832 I already watched a video where a woman was bitten by the horse. Her husband went to the police officer to complain and was told, basically, too bad, can't you read?
Ei noi kakarat ole arvokkaita. Hevonen on!
Unfortunately, this is the "selfie" generation. It is all about THEM being in the picture even if they fall off a cliff..
Frustrating isn't it?
As some idiots have already done.
I'm shouting at the screen "leave the horse alone" grrrr!!!!!!
Those kids were almost hanging from the horse. I think the guard said something to the mother about their behaviour although we can't hear it.
WHY do humans think it's OK to put their hands into a horse's face?😒
@@vickiburacker4578 A lot of people... I worked in a stable and I couldn't tell you how many children I saw running on the horse's head putting their hand in their mouth or nose 🤷 quite simply because on the box it was not written "biting horse" so he thinks that the horse in question is not dangerous and harmless I have even sometimes seen children enter the stalls without permission or, accompanied by an adult, most of them end up being bitten by one of the horses.
I'm sorry for my bad English lol
Sometimes I'm amazed how people don't look at what they are doing. People are waiting and so they just come barged in for a picture. Not giving a darn thing people standing behind them. The brutality is despicable.
That's the world we are living in. Even the aged have lost their manners. That's why in the event of a fire I would save animals over Humankind.
The fact small children are allowed to stand so close to the horses' legs and feet by parents does not cease to surprise me. The parents are oblivious to the wejght and strength of the horses if he shifts forward . Makes ne sad the Guards are treated like dress-up soldiers for kidz and adults to be photographed with..Do not diminish these wonderful horses and very brave military men and women...Stop the public getting so close to them!!!!!! (How many more times?)
Its not a petting zoo. 😢 Back away from the guard and horse.
What a wild bunch,even the mom doing something at the end of the video, trying to pet the back of the horse.
Going behind a horse is definitely a no no 1st it could pee or poo on you 2nd it could kick you
The beautiful horse certainly is patient with all those touchy feely tourists. It's almost like he poses. I wouldn't blame him if nipped those rude tourists.
If some of these people knew how they looked around the horse, they would be very embarrassed.How that guard can keep his patience is admirable..The guards should have more power,with what they have endure with all these rude tourists..and allowing little children to be so close on their own🤬🤬🤬🤬
Exactly. You’re not supposed to go round the back of a horse anyway and touch its rump. Same with our alpacas. I sometimes accidentally touch their rump and they respond with a “get lost!” Kick with their back leg!
You sure can tell who that horse likes!❤ I wish he would push ignorant people away with his powerful head !
it's like people have never seen a horse before. I wish they would stop allowing people to touch the horses. it just stresses them out so much. people are so entitled though, and until they stop it altogether, the horses will keep being stressed. nobody has manners anymore.
Many of them have never been close to a horse before. That shouldn't be a surprise.
With no signs saying they can't touch the horse and the rider and foot soldier not telling them they can't, all they can do is go by what everyone else is doing.
Before you get defensive, I have to tell you that it aggravates me to see them insisting on touching the horse's face or rushing up to sort of tap the neck or shoulder and then back away in fear as if they were dared to touch the scary horse.
I had horses for forty years.
Sou neta de um oficial de Cavalaria do Exército Brasileiro e admiro profundamente o trabalho que esses militares realizam junto com esses animais majestosos e lindos! São afetuosos que estabelecem vínculo com todos. Já estão tão socializados, que nem se incomodam com o que se aproximam e o tocam de forma carinhosa e respeitosa.
Nem sempre. Alguns mordem e puxam o cabelo de pessoas que se aproximam demais. Eu acho pouco, deixem o pobre em paz.
Constantly we see idiot parents placing their very small children in a dangerous place all for a photo that THEY want regardless of what could possibly happen to the child, one day a poor child will be very very badly hurt. If you so badly need a photo take them up yourself hold onto them and for goodness sake keep a safe distance.
Everyone has to outdo the previous one by holding the horses head or getting an inch away making look like they are so wonderful, the Guards adrenaline must be on MAX level while there is a huge crowd within feet of the poor hose and having to watch each one to make sure no one is placing others in danger by grabbing the bridle or reins. And that MOTHER and her boys grrrr ok wont say what I want to say others have said it all.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤
Some horses love people and some don’t. This horse loves people and is very curious.
How tolerant this horse is of the indignities these tourists lavish on him! The Guard is being patient of these people who hurry like lemmings to surround him and his horse! Do these ignorant folk not realise they are at a military establishment? Have they really got no common decency and respect for our soldiers and their mounts??? It goes beyond belief, it really does!
They should have a NO TOUCH policy Both the Guard and the horse are on duty taking picture is ok
Half dressed and trying and failing to look sexy,she slinks up to the horse, and runs away..Priceless.
Some stupid tourists behaviour are horrible, keep touching the horse !
These guards and horses both exhibit so much patience. I don't know how long their shift is, but I couldn't do it.
One hour mounted two hours standing
It should say...Do not touch the horses.
Nunca vi tanta gente sem noção e sem educação em um único lugar 😊😊😊😊😊
Concordo com você 100%!
É falta de educação, falta de respeito e ignorância tudo misturado.
Obviously they've checked their manners and brains at Heathrow.
Nossa, que raiva. Cavalo deveria ter tacado terror geral 😂😂😂😂
See the kids,know the parents!
It’s amazing to me how many people put their hand under the horses mouth 🫣
RECKLESS TOURISTS PUTTING MANY AT RISK OF GETTING HURT, INCLUDING HORSE & SOLDIER.🇬🇧
So many saying oh don’t touch the horses yet none of them know horse behaviour signs
1. Horses ears forward perfect happy to be touch just don’t overcrowd it
2 horses ears laid back means it’s getting annoyed and needs a break from being touched or risk getting nipped or bitten
3 horse ears back stomping feet means back off from horse or get kicked or bitten at your own risk
Que molesta es la gente nada de educación, parece que nunca han visto un caballo 😮
They should put up a sign that says "Do not touch the horses."
Two of my favorite horses and guards in red. The white tip nosed horse is a good one. His guard on him is tall and friendly to young children and special needs kids and adults too. The red uniform guards are my most favorites. They are so compassionate, and they pose on their horses in photos. People take cute, lol 😊
OMG that rude late at 7:23, just plowed her way in front of that young girl with that horrible smirk on her face. HOW RUDE!
And she was hanging on to the bridle but I think it was the guard's blind spot
People just barge in to get their photo buggar anyone else wanting a piccy. You aren't that important WAKE UP!
Amazing how there are so many rude people!
I think they are all like robots programmed to be rude. Just push ppl out of the way so stupid acting ppl they act like they been locked up in their houses all their lives an d this is tge first time they been let out
Im amazed at how many adults just push right in front of children trying to get a picture totally blocking the child like they arent even there. Total disrespect of children.
Poor horses! That’s way too many people touching them in a day! A real petting zoo and so much disrespect towards them, while on the job. What patient and majestic beings!
The girl in striped beige, black sweater, alright already give the horse a break, three times she went back
It must be a nightmare for these guards and their horses with all these ignorant people touching the horse😢
I wonder how they feel if the horse was putting a hoof constantly in their face
Please ,you would NOT want to see that type of injury even though some clueless halfwitts deserve it .
That poor horse acted like he did not like the taste of that tourist.
They need to demand visitors stay at least five feet away from the guard and guard horse. It’s no wonder the poor horses get stressed and act up at times.
There should be signs saying “Don’t touch the horses” The poor horses get agitated after awhile
I don't know how the gaurds can hold their cool at times more often now it's terrible what they have deal with daily
The level of disrespect I see on these premises appalls me. I was raised to have respect for the British monarchy; no, I'm not speaking of seeing them through rose-colored glasses and being blind to their faults. I cannot understand how the rabble that visit here thinks it's acceptable to behave like boisterous hooligans and dress in a manner better-suited either for weeding the garden or, for attending a club for an evening with one's chums.
There was a young lady who looked as if she forgot her shirt. She just had on some kind of a small corset and pants of course. If I was her mother I would not have let her out of the house.
@@grandmajane2593 WOW! You missed a young woman whose skirt was 2 inches from her fanny!
I’ve been all over Europe and didn’t have to be told how to act and especially when it comes to the military. It doesn’t matter what part of the world you’re in.
They should NOT be ALLOWED to Touch the horses, so disrespectful, it’s like a petting zoo, it wouldn’t be allowed in any other country, the soldiers and horses are on duty, it’s just ridiculous
This should stop people shouldn’t be allowed to touch these horses other than the guardsmen 💂♂️
Сто лет назад люди удивлённо рассматривали автомобиль, теперь так же удивлённо смотрят на лошадь :)
Absoluter Respekt für die Wachen und ihre Pferde....was sie Tag für Tag ertragen müssen ❤
Love this guard on the house he takes no foolery from these people ❤
If the child is big enough to be put that close to a horse it’s big enough to ditch the dummy
Agreed! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@theenforcer9967 Looks dreadful having a bath plug stuck in its gob. 🤮.
The people themselves are the dummies, but without the timestamp, you give us no idea which kid has a stuffed animal or puppet.
It's as those people haven't seen a horse before! They are really annoying me.
It’s a horse love.Have you not seen one before.4 legs and a long tail, and soldier on top,gives it away
Need to get Ormonde and Arnie on duty together
Most definitely!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
YES. ESTABLISH THE CORRECT ENGLISH HORSES 🐎 ETIQUETTE!!
BRING THEM OUT TOGETER! LET THE GAMES BEGIN
AMEN ❤️
😂😂😂😂😂 I’d LOVE to see those 2 noble steeds, sharing shift duties! Oh happy day!😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
I hope the horses get sanitised after all that mauling.
Pensei que só os brasileiro eram idiotas, mas os europeus são mais... KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Man, poor horse has to deal with constant touching by hundreds of hands. Freaking officials should put an end to the petting.
Why aren't the Kings Guards screaming back off! The little girl with the pacifier was afraid. Smarter than her mom. Shame on the adults for allowing this behavior.
He has a sword. What a pity he's not allowed to use it.
Leave the horse alone for goodness sake!
I laugh at some of these people. They look so ridiculous leaning over, arms outstretched trying to touch the horse like it’s some major achievement 😂
Aren't some of those kids a little old for pacifiers?
People should never touch those horses!!! It puts stress on them
Some Tourists remind me of people who approach a Guide dog and pets it without a word to the blind person as though they don’t exist .
The same with these magnificent horses they pat and maul endlessly without even a nod of respect to the Troopers who have a difficult job to do. They are not there to please the tourists……..they are professional soldiers who serve with pride. They deserve the utmost respect.
It’s funny how the horses are so curious about handbags and book bags 😄..they just want to see what’s in there
The sooner petting is prohibited the better. I am wondering if there is a reason it is allowed?. Maybe it helps the continued standing, possibly stops the horse being bored. Either way there should be restrictions of some sort.
I feel so bad for those horses. 🤦🏻♀️
Eu também.
I feel for the horses and guards. People shouldn't be allowed in their space
That horse is amazing. All the people touching him and he is so good. What a sweetheart ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They did not check the area for warnings so not keeping their kids out of harm's way.
It must be overwhelming for the horse to have so many from all directions.
The pushing in, amazing.
Ooh Abdullah, it looked like the last horse leaving was coming to you to say hello 😅 love it 😊
These guards are highly trained soldiers who risk their life's for our country and other countries and yet some people don't show them any respect just laughs at them.
Fico encantada de ver a beleza e grandiosidade da guarda real, mas, os turistas acabam estragando e desrespeitando tudo.
Petting the horses should not be allowed. No one tries to pet police or military canine's, and these mounts are military personnel.
So admirable of a soldier. Very patient. Thank you for your service.
Shame it wasnt Ormonde or Arni.
The "Bitey Bunch" are my favorites!🐴🐴👍🏻👍🏻
If the guard doesn't say anything, people will just do as they please .
That’s true the rude tourists get away with far too much they still touch the reins and guards then laugh like imbeciles makes me livid😮
Sadly I agree with you. I can't abide a high proportion of the great unwashed. However, it does appear the Guards have been told that anything goes, more or less. As a result ............Give em an inch and they'll take a Mile.
I don’t think the guards are supposed to engage with the tourists. They only shout an them when they grab the reins which it clearly says not to do!
Guard has probably been told not to shout at these twats🦍🦍🦍
