Thank you for the videos
Did they get rid of the lady who was always stood annoying the horses & guards. I have watched lots of videos of her there every day annoying everyone & being told off.
I believe I heard you describe yourself as English, not British. May I ask what differentiates them?
@@TaraVixen I wondered what had happened to her. She had the art of upsetting every horse and guard.She made it appear she was part of the proceedings. She would pull at the reins and when remonstrated with had this maniacal laugh. I did see her on her site which was very vitriolic, but it seems to have disappeared, it certainly wasn’t the jolly,happy , I’m everybody’s friend, that she appears. Not the person I would like as a friend.
Having trained horses I have mad respect for this guard. It may look as though he had no control but he managed this with only one hand.
This guard needs a medal, how he managed to control that horse for am hour I cannot imagine. With one hand too. I understand why it is best to keep the horse in the box. Its like a child they have to learn about the box
AMEN!!
Something is bothering the horse, it may be an issue with his mouth.
@@sooofullActually I was wondering why he is chomping on the bit so much. I feel so sorry for the horses. I would like to see how the tourists would feel if they had to stand still for an hour and have hands touching them all the time. 😖
I agree. The tourists are ill mannered, totally disrespectful of both guards and horses. The area needs to be fenced to keep the stupid people a safe distance away
When I was lucky enough to travel to Europe years ago, I asked if I could get closer to the Queen's Guard's Horse - that I was going through Animal Withdrawal - my dogs and cats were thousands of miles away in the US, and I missed them terribly!! The Queen's Guard was kind enough to nod. I walked to the Horse talking calmly to him, he was incredible, he nuzzled my neck and let me give him a firm hug!! I THANKED THEM BOTH!! I'VE NEVER FORGOTTEN HOW KIND AND SWEET THEY BOTH WERE TO ME! ❤️🤗 🐎❤️🐎🤗❤️ I wasn't afraid nor did I provoke these Active Duty Military Service Members!!
Why did you even need to touch the horse ? Why does anyone have to touch, why can’t you just admire and walk away
You critique the people an awful lot, how are they supposed to know that the horse is acting up ? Of course they are going to look in or get close, normally that’s what tourists do so why you so bloody negative and name calling
But it isn’t about you! 🙄These men and their horses are on duty.
@@juliesantos705If you read and can comprehend English - you wouldn't need to ask that question because I already stated what I did and why!! If you're just looking for a reason to be nasty - I'm the wrong person!! The Guard and Horse didn't mind and I was, and still am grateful that the Guard and Horse we're so sweet!!
Nothing's going to change that!!
@@juliesantos705 because they are soldiers on active duty and its ettiquet to get out of the bloody way, im assumimg that most of the tourists have eyes , nobody runs to a police man and his dog for picture when they are at work.....its no different im afraid
It's sad to see that the Lesser Spotted Tourist still can't be trained into using common sense.
Well done to the guards, they have the patience of a Saint! 🇬🇧🇬🇧👸
I want to tell these Idi0ts that
A) HORSES ARE LIVING BEINGS NOT PROPS AND
B) GET TF OUT OF THE WAY , GIVE THEM SPACE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ENDANGER THE GUARD, HORSE AND EVERYONE AROUND! ONE KICK CAN SEND YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET !
And I would have, if I was there. Like step back, stop making so much noise! You wouldn't laugh and go near a Gorilla, would you ?
😂Love that. Lesser spotted!
I would like to hear them say thank you to the guards for the photographs. And to the horsemen. Am I just being too British?
@@whoseturnisit9733 i agree, and i am not British. ;)
I am American and would like to thank the Kings guard for their duty and honor to the King and Britian. They deserve respect.
A curb bit can feel very uncomfortable in a horse's mouth if the curb chain is attached incorrectly and causes the bit to pinch down on the bars in the mouth. In the worst cases, the corners of the horse's mouth can get caught between the chain and the bit.
I was first taken to see the changing of the guard and the horses when I was about 6 (early 1960s). In the early 80s I took my 6 year old son to see the horses - we didn't do the changing the guard on The Mall bit as I knew it would be very crowded. We were stood at Horseguards. Because of a sudden deluge of people I got separated from my son. My son is profoundly deaf, with added learning disabilities. Mummy panic! I thought I saw him disappearing through the arch where the horses had gone (where those police officers in your video went). I immediately tried to get through the arch - absolutely not!! Guard had seen him but couldn't leave his post. I got a police officer to help. Then a different guard in all his regalia appeared from the arch telling me my son had got to the stables! I was assured he was safe and would be returned shortly. Must've been well over five minutes and the guard came out with my son who was grinning from ear to ear. The guard then explained that he could see my son had disabilities and it was kinder to let my son meet a horse and see round the stable rather than immediately being escorted back without explanation. I thanked him for understanding. My son now in his mid 40s still loves horses. 💖
❤❤❤❤
That makes my eyes water . Beautiful!
So beautiful story, so kind People. I have notice they are very patient and kind with the hordes too, even those in bad mood. ❤
My dad was a lifeguard (as was his dad), I lived at Knightsbridge barracks a couple of times in my life, the horses were wonderful and so well cared for, I still get teary eyed when I go back as the smell of horse poo makes me think I’m ‘home’ 😂
Curious, does the Crown have a stud farm for breeding the Irish Droughts, or do they contract with private studs?
Me, too!!
That's how I feel when I visit the gorgeous horses that take part in the Musical Ride. My dad was an RCMP for 20 years. I love the smell of those stables I used to visit regularly ❤❤ 🇨🇦
@@peggyrobertson8169 My dad travelled to Canada in the early 2000s with the Household Cavalry, I can’t remember what the official tour was called or what it was for but they were there for a month if I remember right and they spent a lot of time with the RCMP, he loved it!
The skill the Guard showed in keeping the horse under restraint from doing anything worse was amazing. Thank you for this video and thank you to every man and woman for your service.
The guard did a fantastic job
We often see fine displays of horsemanship at Horse Guards when the horses misbehave. This was right up there with the very best - and a wonder to watch.
The horse had enough! This guard is to be applauded. Tourists should not be allowed so close to the horses.
Thank you for sharing your video with us also interesting comment from your viewers. You are so right, common sense. 🇺🇸 Deep respect for all the soldiers and horsemanship. They are a proud group as they serve their Country.❤️🍀
And he enjoyed it 52:05 😄
Thank you so much for moving people out of the way. 1700 pounds of horse can move in a split second, people can't. Bless that Trooper, he did an amazing job trying to control that mare. She was just not having it today and I don't blame her! She, and all the horses, deserve much more respect than the public are giving them. It's not a bloody petting zoo.
They are not mares, all the horses of the King’s Guard are geldings.
@@catherinemorris908 There are some mares Pagan of Lifeguards , now Verona as John has confirmed , also the famous "Arnie " is a mare !
@@catherinemorris908yes they are all geldings! You can see it’s a gelding too!! Maybe not obvious to a non horse person!
Sorry Catherine, but you are mistaken. Life Guard horses 'Raden', 'Pagan' and 'Verona' are mares. The Blues and Royals also have several mares. 🐴🙏🏻
The horse is not a gelding. She is a mare named 'Verona'. 🐴🙏🏻
It made me so mad to see these crowds not understanding that the horse was nervous or quite simple angry - and the tourists still stand there or "heckle" the horse (not knowing, I presume, that they should be respected). And well done for the Guardsman who kept his calm and the horse's.
More to the point if the horse is angry or nervous why did the horseman not change him out.
Why didn’t the police move the tourists back? Do you not want the tourists to be there? Do you think they should instinctively understand horses even though they haven’t been trained to understand their behaviour?
Thank you! Imagine blaming the tourist who are actively encouraged to visit.@@Milou1395
@@Milou1395 For one, each wall next to where the horses stand is marked with a warning on possible horse reactions. And two, the tourists aren't at a "circus". The horses and guardsmen are working, following orders. And three, I agree that the police should be more reactive.
He tried moron.@@zuzannablackmore4625
Thank you so much for capturing the events and for expert narration. As a horse owner my self, I understand that the rider is trying their best to not let the horse “win”. Also, horses can get a bit excited on cold days particularly in the mornings. However, the horse has not stopped chewing on and bracing against the bit since it came on duty. She has been trying to get away from the bit the entire time. She tried at least twice to rear up. I truly think there is something wrong with the horse’s mouth, the bit, or both. Hopefully the groom, the rider and/or the vet will do a complete assessment of the horse and the equipment. My heart goes out to the horse and the rider. They will both need a long calming break after all of this.
Yes. Horrendous to see. So many people watching & approaching, yet no one was sufficiently observant to see the horse very obviously had a problem with the bit & needed it out of his mouth pronto. The one guy who had to re-fenegle the reins made me wonder if the bit was also messed up by whoever dressed the horse. Can't get the staff these days.
Exactly what I was thinking. Something was obviously cause stress to the horse withe bit and/or mouth.
it doesn't like that bit
It is so sad to think the horse might have an injury.
I agree, something is wrong with the bit/bridle. It almost sounds like the bit is clicking on her teeth, so something is not right. Either her teeth need done, or the bridle is not the right size or something like that. You can see that the guard has very soft hands. As soon as she stands still for a moment, the reign is loose and it is obviously still bothering her.
A massive shout out to the guard on this unhappy horse. As a horse owner I've had many a buck and rear but he kept control with one hand.
Been. there. done that
The horse is constantly working his mouth. Is there perhaps something wrong with the bit?
Same here. It almost looks like he was having a little trouble with the bit. Maybe it had cut the side of his lip. Anyway...the guard was a real trooper!
@@pseudorandomly I agree if you mean the video where a man saw something not right with his mouth and the guard immediately pressed the buzzer persistently to get him off duty. In general terms most of them try to throw the bit probably because they are broken by the best trainers and will keep a soft sensitive mouth.
@@michhart4237 Thanks for your response. The horse in question started out OK but by 5:18 was working his mouth constantly, and continued throughout the remainder of the video. I'm not a horse person; no idea whether that is normal behavior or not. It seems like you'd want the horse to be more comfortable, though.
The Guard mounted on the horse had impeccable control throughout the ordeal, respect of the highest indeed!
I can’t help but marvel at these amazing horses as well as their riders. I know it might not seem like it, but as someone who’s ridden since before I could walk, I can see their riders are in complete control and know their animals front and back & inside out. Both they and their beautiful animals have my absolute respect.
Good to remember that this is just as hard on them as it is for the riders to stand there dealing with these clueless tourists day in day out.
ESPECIALLY on a Monday, bless them. Xx
Sending love to all from across the pond 🇨🇦❤️🇬🇧
This guard was fantastic!! I was so worried when they were in the courtyard that one of the horse’s back legs would step accidentally into the window cutout and possibly break or cause it to fall….would have been tragic for horse and guard….never mind the foolish tourists! Some people just don’t pay any attention to their surroundings! Thank you for sharing all this with us and your excellent commentary….so fun to watch from my own kitchen! 😊
Poor horse he "told them he didn't want to deal with the tourist today".He is like I QUIT..
The worst I’ve heard is- ”Control your horse” 🤬🤬 when they are the ones who’s doing something totally wrong…disgusting 🤢
😲😡🤦🏼♀️, they should be nominated for Plank Of The Week 😅. 🇦🇺
Totally agree the horses have feeling too and some people I’m sure really agitate them you can plainly see that
I think he done well controlling the horse some people are idiots
Horses deserve to deliver small bite’s when tourists are so rude. Leave me alone
There is a big threat.
What happened to the signs? Biting and kicking?
I'm thinking there might have been an issue with either the bit or the bridle or perhaps the horse is uncomfortable in his mouth.....the constant chewing on the bit makes me think so. But the guard did a wonderful job on keeping it all under control. Such a great video, btw!
Thank you for the commentary during this entire video. It makes such a difference to the viewing to have someone knowledgeable describing what's going on. I've watched many of these types of videos, being a horse lover, and having the commentary makes all the difference, especially on such a busy and unprecedented Monday morning. Hats off to the Guardsman who battled to keep his horse under some control with superior horsemanship! Well done to you! Thanks again for this most excellent and interesting video, LCW.
My pleasure. Your kind words are much appreciated! Thank you and welcome to the Channel. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I agree, I’m liking the commentary too, I admit I only go to London if I really have to, being free a medium sized town in Yorkshire I can’t do the business or noise there. I only tend to go if we have relatives visiting or sometimes the children ask to go.
I love way you work you amazing keep good work up
This guardsman deserves a promotion!
Future Corporal of Horse! 🐴🎖️
What an exceptional piece of horsemanship, guard is amazing and the police have been fantastic watching over them both. ❤❤
Bravo, to that guard for all his hard work.
Big respect to the guard for his patience. ❤ 👍 🇬🇧
One of those days for the beautiful Horse ❤
Thank you for your video ❤
I love how skilled these King Guards are when controlling the horse in difficult times , mostly set off by crowds of uneducated tourists. Good job horsemen....❤❤❤
Much respect for the skillful horsemanship that very patient Guardsman demonstrated. That MARE was just not having it today! Thank you for the running commentary - & being the voice of reason for the disrespectful & stupid tourists around you. People need to realize this is not a petting zoo. I am astounded at the lack of decent behaviors here! Thank you for a wonderful video.
I totally agree, great commentary.
this horse is most definitely NOT a mare, do you not know anything about the anatomy of a mare, the back view of the horse with the tail raised is clearly a gelding, if you look closely you can also see his sheath.
22:17
I totally agree, well said!
EDIT: LondonCityWalks has confirmed they have some mares. must be recent as everything I've seen before states only geldings.
They only have geldings in the mounted kings guards
Being raised on a horse ranch (farm), these majestic creatures are no different then us. We all have good & bad days (off days). Today just happens to be the mares day❤
Made me wonder if they discovered if something was a little amiss with some of his tack and gear?
@@YellinHelenP Well, the martingale that came unhooked at the beginning and was banging on the horse's leg didn't help.
Thank you for educating future tourists on what is NOT acceptable behavior around horses and guards. Even though I have had experience around horses this was still very educating to see how insensitive and disrespectful tourists can be. Maybe your videos will make a small dent into what these horses and guards experience DAILY. 👏
I am stunned by how many people just laugh and do not see any danger in a horses behavior or animal for that matter....still awesome to see that much professionalism there
Excellent horsemanship by guardsman! Clearly the horse is uncomfortable and has been since the start of his shift.
Great interesting and informative commentary Thank you 🤐😀
What a spectacular looking mare, even if she was having a tough day. Kudos to her caring, skilled rider
First class horsemanship, well done in handling the horse, that poor horse didn’t want to be there. Enjoy your commentary you were saying what I was thinking. New subscriber, British born living in Australia 🇦🇺
I just DO NOT believe how stupid these tourists are. Well done the guard under very difficult circumstances. Those tourists need to move before the horse moves them himself.
Tourists so stupid they’re idiots the horse is nervous
I still say, most people leave their brains and common sense at home when they go on vacation.
The Guard should be commended for his patience and love of Horses. As he knows the horse needs to be aware this needs to happen for a short time.
WOW...I LOVE LOVE LOVE your video'. Thank you so much for doing what you do to help us get to know London. My grandfather was born in Wolverhampton and came to Canada to homestead. When he retired he wanted to go back but everyone told him no..that England has gone so far down hill that he would be disappointed. I brought my older girl guides to England for three weeks, and I wasn't in England for more than a day when I realized THEY WERE WRONG. Everyone, was amazing, even the people who struggled for a living. Its been 25 years since I did that, and I am thrilled to see that England still hasn't come "down". Nothing has changed...people, including you are still amazing. I can't wait to come back. My husbands family is also from England, and we are coming back to get "remarried". No better place to do it. THANK YOU ever so much for your talks, it means so much to us, your viewers. Marlene (Delta BC Canada)
I am so sorry that this horse is having such a difficult time. Respect for the guard.
Thank you for posting this. (Kat) love and respect for all.
A huge shoutout to the very well trained guard who so masterfully handled a very unhappy horse who was determined to not go to work today! The young trooper had only one hand and his legs to handle a rearing, bucking and kicking horse (yes I saw him kick 3 times)! Bravo, sir, we’ll done! Very disappointed that senior staff didn’t bring the trooper in to change horses for the rest of his duty!!
One of the silly tourists could have been seriously hurt all the while clicking their silly phones for a photo op!! You would think most folks would know to move far away when a misbehaving horse is in their vicinity!! Even while holding their children’s small hands or the prom, they just stand there and watch, some laughing!!
Kudo’s to the trooper…staff who didn’t remove the horse, not so much!! Support these young men and women doing their utmost in a very trying situation!!
Thank you for your service to King and country to each of the troopers serving!! My husband of 57 yrs served the US for 23 yrs and US Customs & Border Patrol for 26 yrs! He retired after serving our nation for a total of 46 yrs at age 73 yrs. Blessings!!❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸🇬🇧. 🇮🇱
Bless them all! 👌 Amazing job. Expert horsemanship!! I’m thinking the departing horse may have passed on the message “kick off enough and they’ll bring you back in” 🤗🤗🤗
Very, very enjoyable to watch and your commentary was fantastic too, even with the 'Monday meltdown horse,' he sure did show some spectacular sidestepping. I was enthralled !!❤😊
That was a wonderful display of horsemanship from the guard. Thank you for posting the entire episode.
If that horse decides to flip in that huge crowd then a lot of people would get hurt, the police should’ve kept them away from the box. Trouble is people don’t listen. One day someone is going to get hurt and it will only be themselves to blame. Move away if you see a horse that’s not acting right, give the horse some space for goodness sake.
I know the horses have to put up with a lot of noises but that drilling was pretty constant. Their hearing is so accurate. Hope the horse will settle soon ❤️
Wow, I held my breath on and off..The patience the guard had for such a long time, not only trying to keep control of the horse, but watching out for the people also..They were upsetting me more than the horse..I can't believe they were acting so stupid..Even the fact of letting their kids over there..They have no brains..That could have went real bad..Great job to the guard..
I love your commentary John! it truly is astounding how little common sense anyone has these days. It should be simple, horse looks upset, stay away....
Thank you Sophia - very kind! It was an extraordinary thing to see. I physically had to pull a lady away from doing her 'shopping' at The Guard Shop when the horse was perilously close!
We had horses. One neighbour gave the stallions one apple a day over the fence.
One day we arrived he was IN the Paddock showing guests our stallions. We just ran with forks and shovels... 🙈 He could not believe that the stallion attacked him.
Common sense... never go near to a stallion on his own paddock.
Agreed! Some people are so stupid about the proper handling of horses and what constitutes abuse. It's stunning sometimes. One particular thing is some of these horses appear to have roller bits, while commenters are going on about the horse is hurting, and it's abuse, when the horse is actually enjoying the roller bit because it's bored or nervous. I've explained it so many times that I should keep that info all typed up and ready to paste into my comment.
@@carol.stoeser It seems to be "normal" for people to comment on videos when they know nothing about the subject. Sadly, our govt. here in the US is no better.
@@carol.stoeser Thanks for the schooling on horses’ roller bits. Now I can relax & not worry that the horse is in distress.
Shout out and respect to the Guard and his colleague Horse .
Got nothing but up to admiration for these men and women. And the work they do, and the horses, too. That takes a lot of skill and nerve to stay there like that. I used to own horses so I know exactly what it's like. When a horse wants saddle, you have to be very calm. And don't let him sense your panicking.❤❤❤
Respect for the Guardsman he was very patient with his horse, plus as was said previously he was handling the horse one handed ❤

John - I’m from West Coast of CANADA.
THE horse MIGHT HAVE SENSITIVE EARS AND LISTENING TO THE DRILLING. I HAVE HAD TURN THE VOLUME DOWN BECAUSE IT IS IRRITATING TO ME TOO.
PEOPLE AND ANIMALS -- WE HAD a dog WHO COULD NOT STAND “LOUD NOISES”.
If you see the trooper & the guard I ADMIRE HIS COMPOSURE & HOW HE TRIED TO CALM
HIS DOWN.
This reminds me of people in the US trying to take pictures with wildlife at the national parks ( bison, for example) and discovering these animals are not trained and will attack. All visitors to these parks have been told how far to stay away to be safe.
I have updated the description of the video with the name of the horse. She is 'Verona' 🐎
Exceptional video by you and fabulous horsemanship by the soldier.
Thanks!
Lovely to see it so quiet massive respect to all the Guards Police and the beautiful horses xxx ❤❤❤❤❤
100% 🐴
It’s so funny to watch how relaxed the horses become when they’re headed back to the stables. They are truly barn-soured.
Expertly handled by the Trooper , and the gate man coming out to assist for safety . The collar / tether chain had come unclipped at the beginning which is what the Trooper in camo was fixing , It's not part of the reins but clipped to the back of the noseband used when horses need to be attached to a line back in the day . Not surprised it's a mare , a feisty lady . As usual great commentary John thanks xxx
Gelding
@@Mrchirico6 The horse is a mare. 👍
@@LondonCityWalks
The hirse guards use geldings .
@@Mrchirico6 Better tell Pagan the mare , Raden the mare , Verona the mare , and others they've changed sex !
The horse is obviously agitated. Shaking its head and constantly mouthing the bit. Somethings wrong.
Total respect to the horseman on Verona , he did an amazing job ! I bet his arms were aching after that shift bless him . Thanks for another great video John 👍
Ah, Verona again!
As someone who works in a public historical government building myself - I understand how difficult it can be to deal with people who do not respect boundaries. I send my thanks and respect to these guards. I am not English, but I hope they know how much their work for the crown and the English people is appreciated.
It AMAZES me on how UNAWARE people become just because they’re TOURISTS and ENTITLED they seem.
Bless the Guards, having to deal with all that! They truly have SKILLS.
Well you had it all today! Weird woman in the archers..rein grabbers.. very unsettled horse..and nearly had the troopers scrapping up tourists along with the horse poop! Never a dull day at horse guards parade 🙄 And your commentary makes all the difference..as usual. In fact I watch your videos on RUclips so much..I forget sometimes watching others and wonder why there's no one talking.
This is the most remarkable hour I’ve seen for Guard and mount. What a tremendous job the guard did, with one hand, as you pointed out. This will be spoken of for months and months to come by all the guards. It does show the lengths the guards will go through to keep a mount on station for his assigned time. Tremendous narrative!!
The guard did a wonderful job trying to help the horse in destress. I'm surprised that they didn't replace the horse
Extraordinary footage. The guardsman with the "not so happy" horse, deserves a medal. His handling of that horse with one hand was amazing. Got a chuckle from the trooper who came an straightened the sign. What a gentleman. I don't understand the stupidity, arrogance and thoughtlessness of tourists and passersby., especially with children, just for a photo. Thank you for your commentary throughout the video. Excellent
The guard did an amazing job, bless him. Thank you for sharing .
Thank you for the commentary & video, really great.
Some people think this is English Disneyland & these horses are like a pet. These ignorant people don’t seriously realise these horses can be very dangerous especially when the horse is very unsettled.🤦🏼
Indeed- they're MILITARY, for Heaven's sake. Wish they had an "exclusion" zone for the protection of both horsies ( John :) ) and the daft tourists. The agitations always appear on that one side, which is where the majority of tourists congregate. The horsies ( John :) ) can feel the vibrations but not understand them...and feel uneasy or even threatened. Lovely commentary by John... my American kids laugh when I call them "horsies" so it's an extra delight to hear Johns clear affection for those splendid creatures... :)
I agree, I was thinking they treat it as some kind of petting zoo.
It was painfully obvious that there was something about the bit bothering this horse. The way he kept chewing at it and the tossing of his head. So much respect for the guard who kept control with a gentle hand. Still amazed at how people can be so ignorant and not ‘read’ the horse. There were HUGE “get back” signs clearly floating around this horse! At least for those intuitive enough to see them. I truly hope they were able to figure out what was bothering, and possibly even hurting, this beautiful horse and fix it.
I’ve seen similar at horse guards on a number of occasions but never an incident that has carried on so long! Phenomenal horsemanship from the guard. Complete idiocy from Joe Public.
Wow, That King’s Guard is Trying so Hard to Calm his Horse, You Know What we all have Bad Days , Well Done Officer 👮♀️👌👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the video. The army bring some of their horses to Dorset during the year for a gallop along Weymouth beach, it’s amazing to see these stunning horses letting their hair down while galloping into the sea and being covered in sea and sand.
Amazing commentary. It made it a pleasure to watch. The horsemanship of the guard was admirable.
Thank you for all the detailed information. Respect from the USA 🇺🇸
I’ve got enormous respect for the guards, specially the horse guards. Horses can be unpredictable at some times, with these crowds of tourists you never can tell.
Eu também . Ainda mais porque eles controlam esses animais com apenas uma mão nas rédeas. A outra fica o tempo todo segurando a espada, mesmo quando o cavalo empina. Esses guardas são excelentes. ❤
The gates man gave off complete frustrated parent energy when he came out of the arches and walked the mare back to the box. As a mom to twins I can totally understand 😂😂
I think the gateman did very well to step in and help out with the horse, it showed initiative to help a colleague in a tricky situation, even if he is not allowed to abandon his post during his shift. My opinion is that there should be more troopers in camos in the courtyard to help out with these situations, at any given time. P.S. thanks for your amusing commentary John!
Narration is excellent, horses are temperamental like people on a Monday morning well done guard, tourists r a pain they don't get it ❤
that guardsman should be awarded a commendation. Amazing horsemanship! Kept all safe.
Thank you for this amazing video. I'm exhausted just watching. The horsemanship from this guard was amazing
I am a tourist and would never disrespect anyone or any anamal.. I hate how they are think they are entitled.
Wish we could send support and praise to these guards
First time watching and I landed on your video of that poor jittery horse. Great fun watching and your commentary is like I was standing beside you. Never seen the changing of the guard in real life but I’m totally intrigued and fascinated by your coverage. Thanks 🙏🏼
High praise indeed! 🙏🏻 A very warm welcome to the Channel. 😊❤️
Thank you for video,was interesting too,cannot be there but felt part of what was going on.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love it when the horse voiced his opinion. 😅
Brilliant filming once again. Give that horseman a Bells, not only for the way he handled that mare, but he still smiled a lot, as if it was a walk in the park.
Just shows how well trained the guards are. All very loyal and dedicated to their job, to the Horses and to each other. And all so handsome to. ❤❤❤❤😊😊
You want the guards to smile while people want to take pictures, but we need to remember that these guards are actually on DUTY. It's not about being unfriendly, but performing a duty to protect and serve England. It is so amazing to see this history in motion. There is a time for play as well as a time for when we need to keep the main thing the main thing. Thank you for the beautiful videos.
I love tbe way you answer your own question!
Love the sounds of horses. Hopefully the next time this horse is out he'll have a better day.
What Horsemanship by that Brave Soldier. Congratulations Sir.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤and
Well done to the police too for looking after after both guard and horse
So proud of our serving men and women. Thank you all.
Yeah, as an old American cowgirl, I can see that this horse is done. He now has it in his head to leave. I know you can’t let them get away with this stuff or they will do it again. But SOMETIMES, when it does get too dangerous you have to end it. I only did that once, and I regretted it. The problem horse got worse each time until I figured out a solution.
It seemed the bit wasn't in correctly. Something wasn't right.
At last, someone who talks sense
@@patriciamorton1068 That had nothing to do with the bit. Nothing.
Bulls.... The horse is in pain and discomfort. Listening to your horse only gives their respect back. I have horses for over 20 years and the more I listen to what they tell me the harder they will do their best for me. If they are getting dangerous than it's bnecause they are ignored and they don't have another way to tell us that they are not happy. Horses are not machines or robots!
You can't force things on a horse. I have trained horses since I was 18, attended an Equestrian School in Wyoming, if a horse does not want to do something, you have to work with him so he understands what needs to be done.
Thank you for an exemplary video showing the world our city with its traditions and also trying to teach people what to do around the Horseguards, that guardsman was well trained in his art of looking out for his beautiful but very unsettled horse and the public who i feel couldnt care less about the horse, ive recently got into watching your excellent videos as im unable to travel from the North of England to London to see the wonderful job of the guardsmen/women and horses. Keep up the good work guardsmen/women horses and of course you John
Its utterly despicable and disgusting the way tourists behave
I bet that Guard was tired after dealing with that unsettled horse for an hour. He did a great job! ❤
After watching the horse guards for several months, I have concluded that there are NO HORSES in all the rest of Europe.BTW - you are the FIRST commenter that mentioned where all these tourists are coming from. Thank you so much.
or perhaps most people in europe live in cities and big towns and never have a chance to interact with a horse at home......
Ehm, I'd say it's mostly Muricans and Asians, lmao.
Hello from Spain, stunningly turned out as usual. It's nice to hear the commentary, especially about the sheep(tourists), who stand in the way, not caring if the children get hurt. It's a frustrating thing watching idiots being allowed so close to these working armed forces. And the bosses are not doing a thing about it. What is wrong with these people. Maybe if people don't do what they should do after being told, they should have an automatic fine. They tried for nearly an hrs getting the horse in the box, why on earth keep trying. Take the horse away, it's like they would would rather keep going and going just so they can go out the front for changeover. To show the tourists. It was frustrating to watch the young man trying to lead the horse, maybe he's taking his orders abit to seriously, because in other videos, with a similar thing with the horse, the soldier will try for so long then take the horse away. In this case I think they should ov done this after the first few attempts to get the horse in the box.
The woman who was shouted at, had the most bizarre body language. She was like a toddler. So strange, but at the same time fascinating.
I guess she is Japanese. Their body language is difficult to read for us western people
Guard did a wonderful job with the restless horse!! 👏
These tourist are crazy and uncaring it's so sad I feel bad for the horses and kings guard God bless them
Loved the commentary. He was feeling just like we were feeling regarding the poor, upset horse. I too have never seen horse be so unsettled for so long.. Horse wanted out away from the crowds.
Thank you for sharing.😊
OMG!! I love this reporter's comments! It never fails to utterly baffel and disgust me the way people are with these men and women, and the horses. These aren't trai riding horses, they're trained for battle. The guards are highly decorated soldiers, both mounted and standing. The deserve 100% respect and shouldn't be treated like they're statues. Not to mention how casual people are taking selfies with the VERY armed officers with rifles. Shocking.
People are just watching exactly the same as you (and we) are. It’s interesting to watch the skill of the horseman deal with the Monday morning blues of the horse. 🐴
By the way I thought your video of the protest was amazing, even the tv didn’t capture as much as you did. You did well and kept safe, I was worried I must say but thankfully everything seemed to go ok. Thank you for being it to us. You’ve got a lot of courage.
Thank you for the explainations and education. For those unfamiliar with either horses or British culture. They are wonderful. Wish there was some type of formal education we could use to learn.
Thank you to the one making these videos. I’m in the US and will probably never get a chance to visit your country so I appreciate being able to see these things.
