No foreign students should be controlled by their teachers. Our forces are something to be exceptionally proud of. There's precious little left of Britain and its soldiers here are appreciated by most tourists
I went there 30 years ago. Nobody was doing that back then. I took a photo, but from a distance. Nobody dared standing that close. How times have changed.
I think for the most part tourist is proud to have a photo beside the mounted guards. They are featured in a lot of tourist adds around the world and one of the reasons tourists visit London.
I'm gonna sound awful here, but there is a trend of people coming over from Eastern Europe, and simply not understanding basic manners when it comes to respect for other countries, people in uniform or animals. I cringe everytime I see them and they insist on holding the reins, annoying the guards and making a joke of it. These are dedicated armoured cavalry soldiers that fight on the front line in various countries, and yeah maybe even yours.
I don't know about you but I listen to the accents all the time and you are spot on. Russian and Eastern European, followed by Chinese, I live where Russians are moving in their thousands to escape and they are so rude, pushy and feel they are entitled. Not nice at all.
@@dianapeek6936 Thank you for that, I never wanted to be accused of racism or anything because that doesn't really count here, just extreme bad manners. I would punish the offenders by giving them a set of tack and tell them you want it to parade standard. They'll change their tune.
its a real eye opener to see some of the disgraceful lack of manners on display in society now, thanks and best wishes to all Guards and horses for all that you do and service you give, keep on telling them to back off when they overstep the boundaries
Yes. I see it a lot in these videos. They shouldn’t be that close to the horses. Sometimes they get spooked. They should have barriers so they are not to close to the horses. Total lack of respect. They are doing their job. I feel so bad that they have to put up with this on a daily basis.
You hit the nail on the head Disneyland. Guards such a royal historic station. If we went to India and started petting their black cube same disrespect. Most of these people are not even British. People should be guided by with waist height velvet ropes like banks have pics from 6 to 8 feet away.
This is a pickpocketing haven, so many are not tourists but people living in London and pickpocketing tourists. The days when you were allowed only seconds to get a photo are long gone. The tourists today are disrespectful and I’m positive they think the soldiers are actors with nothing to do. Well done to the boys and girls in the forces and to the horses 100% respect
I agree 100%. I have often thought they think this is some sort of show put on for them, like a renaissance faire! It’s disgusting! Why were those kids there without an adult chaperone? God forbid what other trouble they will get into!
I love this particular horse, he's a sweetheart with soulful eyes. You can tell they aren't at ease because there's too much nonsense going on around them.
To all the ignorant who haven't bothered to learn some manners when visiting our country you would be very annoyed if we British were as badly behaved as you in our country but your countries have no traditions or anything to offer
Ms sweetpea... I like the horse that stands on people's feet. It's so funny , I'm sure he's been trained to do that. It's so deliberate. Such a cutie.😂
People not understanding to just leave the guards and their horses alone is baffling to me. Those guards and their horses are trained soldiers. They just need to get the horses going and they'd deal immense damage. Not to speak of the swords they have and who knows what other weapons. Plus they're never alone and police are nearby most of the time. I myself have gigantic respect for them for all the bs the have to endure
I just like to say thank you to men and women of the Blues & Royals of the household Cavery for looking so smart and the wonderful horse's for standing there
I cannot believe this is how it is now, thank goodness I was in the UK when civility and respect was still a thing. My husband did duty at the palace and there was a different scene then.
The only reason that we return to the UK is to visit family ever 2 year. I used to pass Guards most days and we began to recognise them, a little nod in their direction was all that was needed.
This is just a group of youngsters having fun amongst there Selves, not realizing groups upset horses. waving arms loud voices and gestures that are normal in another country. I live in Vietnam and a group of locals together sounds like WWIII kicking off. My father was a Welsh Guardsman and stood the palace duties, at Buckingham Palace it was outside the gates. His favorite was The Bank of England where the guard wore gym shoes to not damage the marble floor. Each guardsman received a newly minted half-crown at end of guard duties, that bought a few beers back in the 40s
Let's be honest here they are protecting nobody. Just there for the tourists, who don't know how to behave. The real guards are those cops armed with machine guns.
@@dianagette4796 Really...are you aware that this is Hirse guards not BP. Secondly thd security protocols were changed and the upgrade mof the Palace p
New sign needed...respect the soldiers and their steeds...also respect the police who are taking orders from the guards to ensure safety for all.Thank again please all of them for their patience. Good to see a move along order is not only for the homeless.
Most of these people come from undisciplined countries and do nothing to help the way people of those countries and sad to say one of those were our in a war with us . and how they should behave as tourists in the rest of the World. Come USA show rest of the WORld what your made of
To easily solve this problem they should *_not_* allow any tourists to get closer than 12ft to the horses. The would be David Bailey's would still be able to take their photos from that distance if they must.
Why is there not a barrier to allow the guards and horses space from the tourists. This allows the guards to do there job and the armed police also patrol the gates. Allowing the guards observations more clearly and safely. Yeah the tourists like photos near the guards but they are serving soldiers. But it's tourists not respecting the personal space of the guards and horses for they are doing there job.
Of all the things and certain people Ive dealt with in 24 years as a medical professional, I wouldn't trade places with any of those guards. Tolerance for things in one profession can be intolerable in another profession especially when its all over you like bees on honey. I really admire their tolerance, because i believe having to deal with this nonsense would break all my self control and I'd end up in jail.
The more I see of these people the more I dislike them and I wouldn't let them into this Country without checking them out to see if they have basic manners before they left anywhere to come here.
I have taken photos of my son by the horses, and we would not have dreamt of touching them. We moved from London years ago, so it’s shocking to see the number of tourists milling around and the total lack of respect shown to the guardsmen and the horses.
That is what they are trained to do. Believe me, if the rider turned the horse loose, people would scatter like roaches. The problem is there is no instructions posted other than the bite/kick one. They need to be more explicit for the “dense” population.
Total respect to all service men&woman and those who have fought already for us. Manners cost nothing no matter where from. Should be rail around them or police each side to stop people getting so close. If don't know how to show respect don't come live or visit.
I saw that girl who was part of that gang who was told to leave hit a guards horse in the face over 4 times. It’s in another video. Too bad she did get the crap kicked out of her
She slapped the horse away 3 times, the police comment to leave was not directly aimed at her and she walked away laughing. I would be so ashamed if she was my daughter
@@sheilamorrell6329 But then mum & dad could give you a glump around the ear for being naughty. I grew up in 1950s and we got up to stuff but there was a line, cross it, watch out!!!! Dad was ex Welsh Guards so an extra watch out.
Personally I think there should be a small circular fence around the horse 🐴, you could still take photos but not get too close. It would also stop idiots grabbing the horses reins.
I have asked the same but have been told what a danger to the horse should it get spooked ... however, I personally don't see why an armed police can't be stationed in front of each horse telling people where they may and may NOT stand. Just to make sure they keep their distance from the horse.
Does the sunset get old after you’ve seen it once? Fact is it’s a magnificent creature standing tall and powerful. Like it or not humans are drawn to that type of beauty. Strength and power are beautiful. Don’t let the zeitgeist fool you any more with “body positivity” horse manure.
I beg to differ and the word is 'of' not off. Many of my family served in the police force, and I can assure you the sights they had to deal with were grim. My father used to come home smelling of the mortuary many times! Incidentally he was a Grenadiar guard on duty at Buckingham Palace many years ago.
3:23 The grinning thing in the white/ red stripe/ blue jacket with it's back to the gateway, is the one who slapped the horse in the mouth three times in Buska's video. The trooper on foot then asked the Police to attend. As you can see, the policeman told them to move on... which looked like the absolute minimum he could be bothered doing.
I know these horses and their guards are well-trained, but it must be very difficult for the horse to stand in one spot for an hour and also not react to all the commotion.
No respect for the guards and there mount they should put those black poles up you can't get any closer. Or put a white line there 6ft away from horse.
There is no respect shown to these Guards and their horses. The crowds are ridiculous and there should be more control used. These soldiers should be congratulated for their patience with such ignorant people.
The police officers speak without authority - I'm shocked, but perhaps this is part of their training. I didn't know that "leave, move away from the horses" was a suggestion. Besides, a group this size is blocking the sidewalk.
@@dianapeek6936 My last dealings with an authoritarian Border Guard at Boston Airport confirmed my intention never to go back and endure that BS ever again.
@@lenarae3845 You don't need to have experienced it personally (as I have) as there are endless YT videos of US Police acting like morons. Its a different attitude, made worse by huge egos, poor training and outright immunity all designed to escalate every situation into the highest level. Give someone like that a gun and you have the worst of all outcomes. These UK Police are VERY well armed and yest they are all approachable, friendly, helpful and as we can see - courteous. They will ask once maybe twice and then tell you. US Police will just command you.
I lv this horse w/ the white face he is beautiful & so expressive ❤️ it’s incredible for animals that are born to run having such training & patience to stand for so long dealing w/ rude disrespectful people🤨
Many years ago the Guards mounted guard outside the gates at Buckingham Palace ( in the 1940s/50s) the crowds became such a nuisance ( in particular "Hollywood Stars" etc) that eventually the whole Guard mount was moved to behind the railings I`m afraid this will eventually be forced upon Horse Guards
My late father was a Grenadiar guard in the late nineteen twenties. He guarded Buckingham Palace, and Edward, who later abdicated, often told the guards to 'stand at ease' , after his many comings and goings! My father was on Trooping the Colour and for a time at the Tower of London. He then served five years in North Africa in the War,, missing most of my young childhood. Finally he served thirty years on the police force. He would have hated these tourists!
I am old enough to remember the specific incident at Buckingham Palace which was the final straw. A female American tourist had got as close as possible to the guard on duty and did not get out of his way as he started his obligatory march . She was naturally pushed aside and claimed to have been injured. She created the most enormous fuss in the press and I think ( but cannot be sure) that the USA Embassy got involved. Very shortly after this the guards were moved to their current positions . And that created a fuss too with many of us having steam coming out of our ears at the idea that an ignorant foreigner had caused a change in our traditions.
@@margaretoconnor3687 I wont call them ignorant but a small minority of foreigners are changing our society by this tactic. They are supported by again a minority of predominantly white middle class liberals in the establishment. Most of these individuals are despised by their own community.
I can understand if your a tourist wanting a photo and if you stand away from the guard and horse but it's the idiots that get to close and if I ever saw someone hit the horse well they might regret it
We have reached the point of a snakes belly is of higher regard than the tourists of the world. No regard for a working Guard and his beautiful Steed. That horse has much more common sense than humans. Thank you to the Guard and his horse for their service.
They should not allow so many people to cluster round these magnificent working horses and soldiers. I understand their interest, but respect these horses and do not treat their time on duty as a joke.
The disrespect shown to them is upsetting to me. The guards are not a side show/petting zoo for the visitors. The horses and guards should be outfitted in full "battle rattle" once in awhile and maybe people will show more respect.
Unmannered people... No respect for people and animals In this case The Royal House and soldiers guarding with horses This is their job!! It is not a zoo or children's farm !!! These pushy tourists are so disrespectful..
Why do they just stand and stare? Sorry to have to say this but those armed protection police don't seem to be doing much protecting.That thing that slapped the horse should have at least been spoken to .The whole group of them looked shifty.
You think? I mean really? You believe that those heavily armed police are 'not doing much'? they do not NEED to be raising voices and making a scene. A quite word is all that is needed. This is the UK not the USA. If there was a real issue there is a red button on the gatepost at mounted height and if that is pressed watch the armed guards move.
@@dianapeek6936 Not quite. These armed guards are just a few feet away around Horse Guards. See that red button on the wall by the mounted guard? Within seconds those armed Police would be there. And at THAT point they wouldn't be issuing 'quiet words' either.
Nowhere in the world would they allow their soliders or horses be treated like some cheep sideshow only in Britain my God how far we have gone down in our ways zero respect for anything we just let these foreigners walk all over our dignity and culture its just so sad.
They treat the guards and horses as a joke disrespectful idiots they should stop this touching of the horse the guards are trying to do a job they should also stop the photographs as it's annoying both horse and guard
if member of public hits or abuses horse or Guards the side of the sword striking wrist with verbal warning to put the fear of God in them, with a verbal next time it will be edge of sword removing hand you'll feel.
They're going to just have to not allow people to take pictures no more. Somebody's going to get hurt! They can't be respectful and use caution around the horses, then make them stop taking pictures.
People say to put a fence around them. Not a solution, these horses need to be able to move out if needed. Maybe put a “photo” spot on the wall would help. And a sign that tells people to stay away from and no touching, period! Would help?
Once they get their picture, why do they not move on? Why do they hang around? What are they waiting for? I think the police should be moving them along.
I think the police officers are lacking, they wait to until incident happens they need to be dispersed out behind the wrought iron where they can witness it when there's a huge crowd like that. I would be nervous being in a crowd like that 🤔 sometime you literally have young people being ridiculous like the three girls yesterday and now these guys today. I'll never forget when that girl in the white jacket slap the horse so sad!!
Yes. I saw that too. Sometimes I dont even see the police near the horse guards. There’s hoards of people to close to the horses. I worry about the horses being touched all day long. All the germs and Covid going around. Someone suggested that people should line up single file to see the horse. Like I mentioned before, I personally think that there should be a barrier so the tourists keep a distance from the horse. If people continue to show disrespect, they should chance the rules.
@@debbiepineda6898 I absolutely agree with you, when it get crowded like that You said Covid because it is still around . Here in the USA Hospital beds are overflowing with flu patients because they refuse to have a flu shot, The guards can even catch it if they was not immunized from all the tourists crowding around! To me the guards and horse to me that's unsanitary and unsafe!!!? I do hear some tourist are coughing and sneezing and let's not forget it is also airborne that's why they need to stop that crowd.
I just can't believe how disrespectful people are. These horses are working animals. They are being petted as if they are at a petting zoo. How rude and totally inconsiderate.
They shouldn’t be allowed to get near the horses. They have no respect at all. They are not there merely as a tourist attraction, they are guards and these people are totally ignorant
Why can’t they put barriers up to stop the tourists getting so close, they are not a show piece they are doing a very important job and should be respected for it
I can't believe the ignorance of some people! This is not a petting zoo they are working horses. The guards are real soldiers not Hollywood pretty boys! The police need to take more control and a notice should be posted that the horses must not be touched. The poor animals are becoming very agitated. Next we will some idiot groping the guards! I'm appalled!
Way too many people in the way of the guard and horse. I hate it when people think it is funny to be inappropriate with horse and guard and think it is a joke. I love it when people touch the horse gentle and then give a slight rub as a Thank You. Very respectful and appreciative action
Yes I saw that video and couldn’t believe no one in the crowd stopped her, the guard did not see the first two slaps she gave the horse but the tourists definately could, shame on all the people who saw her slap the horse and did nothing.
The group were speaking spanish ,i know a lot of spanish here in uk ,but these spanish speaking tourists i would say are definately from the shall we say the more underclass of their society,very different from the ones i know
These ‘photo opportunities’ should be stopped. These men and women are serving soldiers. It’s total disrespect.

@@dawnsherratt2317 It’s the same day / incident from 2 weeks ago. They’re speaking Spanish, according to various viewers.
@@theplaneimage ahhhh thank you I was thinking she was back for another go at the horse
Little rug-rat.
Ahh yes, the Guard should have told her" don't touch my horse" I'd have told her if I'd been there 😤😤
Why are they not moved right away ??!!that girl in the white jacket is disrespectful and Trouble, why?? are they allowed to to come back!!
And while we are at it thanks lads. I couldnt be that patient with fools.
I know these horses and their guards are well-trained, but it must be very difficult for the horse to stand in one spot for an hour and also not react to all the commotion.
I could never go this job, I have the temper of a bull in a China shop ..People would be getting hit.
I don’t think the public should be allowed anywhere near the horses or the guards
I so agree. It is so upsetting seeing these nasty tourists going up and touching the reins and the horses. They should be kept far away.
No respect for the guards and there mount they should put those black poles up you can't get any closer. Or put a white line there 6ft away from horse.
I love the horse's chin whiskers..xx It makes me chuckle seeing the horse is so relaxed he's dozing..
One of my favourites too and the ones with the hairy chin chins seem to be the most sociable too!
I'm glad they don't shave horses' whiskers off like is done in many horse shows. Those are sensory organs that the horse needs.
Bring back the days when the cavalry rode into town and skewered the peasants
😂😂😂
Hundreds of pointless people
I agree !
Love your comment. Sadly it is needed.
As a policeman I would not turn my back on the crowd.
There is no respect shown to these Guards and their horses. The crowds are ridiculous and there should be more control used. These soldiers should be congratulated for their patience with such ignorant people.
Talk about being crowded out.
'Joined up to be a squaddie, not a photo op model, ffks!'.
The police officers speak without authority - I'm shocked, but perhaps this is part of their training. I didn't know that "leave, move away from the horses" was a suggestion. Besides, a group this size is blocking the sidewalk.
British police are entirely different from US police. They are trained better, without aggression everytime they speak.
@@dianeleitch7049 So you've had encounters with American police? Speaking from personal experience?
The Border guards when you land at a US Airport are enough to make one turn round and get back on the plane. What a bundle of fun they are. NOT.
@@dianapeek6936 My last dealings with an authoritarian Border Guard at Boston Airport confirmed my intention never to go back and endure that BS ever again.
@@lenarae3845 You don't need to have experienced it personally (as I have) as there are endless YT videos of US Police acting like morons.
Its a different attitude, made worse by huge egos, poor training and outright immunity all designed to escalate every situation into the highest level. Give someone like that a gun and you have the worst of all outcomes.
These UK Police are VERY well armed and yest they are all approachable, friendly, helpful and as we can see - courteous. They will ask once maybe twice and then tell you. US Police will just command you.
The guard should have let the horse and his sword take care of it
THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE AROUND THESE POOR GUARDS AND THESE POOR HORSES 😡😡
I lv this horse w/ the white face he is beautiful & so expressive ❤️
it’s incredible for animals that are born to run having such training & patience to stand for so long dealing w/ rude disrespectful people🤨
I think it is so sad, that people have never familiarised themselves with horses.
Change the frigging sign to: DON’T touch the HORSE.
Not even an acknowledgement to the serving soldier ..such disrespect to horse and soldier. Makes me so angry.
Many years ago the Guards mounted guard outside the gates at Buckingham Palace ( in the 1940s/50s) the crowds became such a nuisance ( in particular "Hollywood Stars" etc) that eventually the whole Guard mount was moved to behind the railings
I`m afraid this will eventually be forced upon Horse Guards
My late father was a Grenadiar guard in the late nineteen twenties. He guarded Buckingham Palace, and Edward, who later abdicated, often told the guards to 'stand at ease' , after his many comings and goings!
My father was on Trooping the Colour and for a time at the Tower of London. He then served five years in North Africa in the War,, missing most of my young childhood.
Finally he served thirty years on the police force.
He would have hated these tourists!
@@pathopewell1814 Not hard to see why. It appears self discipline and respect are a dying art in most foreign countries not just the UK.
I am old enough to remember the specific incident at Buckingham Palace which was the final straw. A female American tourist had got as close as possible to the guard on duty and did not get out of his way as he started his obligatory march . She was naturally pushed aside and claimed to have been injured. She created the most enormous fuss in the press and I think ( but cannot be sure) that the USA Embassy got involved. Very shortly after this the guards were moved to their current positions . And that created a fuss too with many of us having steam coming out of our ears at the idea that an ignorant foreigner had caused a change in our traditions.
I hope you at right.
@@margaretoconnor3687 I wont call them ignorant but a small minority of foreigners are changing our society by this tactic. They are supported by again a minority of predominantly white middle class liberals in the establishment. Most of these individuals are despised by their own community.
The tourists nowadays behave like they have never seen a horse before🤷♀it's somehow ridiculous
These police should be telling them to move,,,been standing crowded too long,,no need standing there
Too.Many.People.
I can understand if your a tourist wanting a photo and if you stand away from the guard and horse but it's the idiots that get to close and if I ever saw someone hit the horse well they might regret it
We have reached the point of a snakes belly is of higher regard than the tourists of the world. No regard for a working Guard and his beautiful Steed. That horse has much more common sense than humans. Thank you to the Guard and his horse for their service.
They should not allow so many people to cluster round these magnificent working horses and soldiers. I understand their interest, but respect these horses and do not treat their time on duty as a joke.
The disrespect shown to them is upsetting to me. The guards are not a side show/petting zoo for the visitors. The horses and guards should be outfitted in full "battle rattle" once in awhile and maybe people will show more respect.
No respect at all.
Unmannered people... No respect for people and animals In this case The Royal House and soldiers guarding with horses This is their job!! It is not a zoo or children's farm !!! These pushy tourists are so disrespectful..
Glad I live in the countryside…where the horses trot round the lanes and graze in the fields.
Oh the reaching out poking, prodding hands..Imagine how many times a day these poor horses are touched or their reins tugged..
Why do they just stand and stare? Sorry to have to
say this but those armed protection police don't
seem to be doing much protecting.That thing that
slapped the horse should have at least been spoken
to .The whole group of them looked shifty.
You think? I mean really? You believe that those heavily armed police are 'not doing much'? they do not NEED to be raising voices and making a scene. A quite word is all that is needed. This is the UK not the USA.
If there was a real issue there is a red button on the gatepost at mounted height and if that is pressed watch the armed guards move.
Your getting the message, they don't!! They usually turn up after the event. Looks good on You Tube if they turn up occasionally.
@@dianapeek6936 Not quite. These armed guards are just a few feet away around Horse Guards. See that red button on the wall by the mounted guard? Within seconds those armed Police would be there. And at THAT point they wouldn't be issuing 'quiet words' either.
She came back again with a young teenager with blonde patches in his hair.
@@dianapeek6936 That teen reminded me of a red merle dog in terms of his hair color!
It baffles me people take photos of themselves w/ a horse.... ridiculous
Nowhere in the world would they allow their soliders or horses be treated like some cheep sideshow only in Britain my God how far we have gone down in our ways zero respect for anything we just let these foreigners walk all over our dignity and culture its just so sad.
So many people, the guards and horses put up with alot.
They treat the guards and horses as a joke disrespectful idiots they should stop this touching of the horse the guards are trying to do a job they should also stop the photographs as it's annoying both horse and guard
if member of public hits or abuses horse or Guards the side of the sword striking wrist with verbal warning to put the fear of God in them, with a verbal next time it will be edge of sword removing hand you'll feel.
I cant believe people are allowed to be close to the guards and to touch the horses.
They're going to just have to not allow people to take pictures no more. Somebody's going to get hurt! They can't be respectful and use caution around the horses, then make them stop taking pictures.
I often wonder the humans that scratch and put their fingers on the nostrils of the horse would be okay if another human did that to them😤😤😤😤😤
People say to put a fence around them. Not a solution, these horses need to be able to move out if needed. Maybe put a “photo” spot on the wall would help. And a sign that tells people to stay away from and no touching, period! Would help?
Once they get their picture, why do they not move on? Why do they hang around? What are they waiting for? I think the police should be moving them along.
I think the police officers are lacking, they wait to until incident happens they need to be dispersed out behind the wrought iron where they can witness it when there's a huge crowd like that. I would be nervous being in a crowd like that 🤔 sometime you literally have young people being ridiculous like the three girls yesterday and now these guys today. I'll never forget when that girl in the white jacket slap the horse so sad!!
Yes. I saw that too. Sometimes I dont even see the police near the horse guards. There’s hoards of people to close to the horses. I worry about the horses being touched all day long. All the germs and Covid going around. Someone suggested that people should line up single file to see the horse. Like I mentioned before, I personally think that there should be a barrier so the tourists keep a distance from the horse. If people continue to show disrespect, they should chance the rules.
@@debbiepineda6898 I absolutely agree with you, when it get crowded like that You said Covid because it is still around . Here in the USA Hospital beds are overflowing with flu patients because they refuse to have a flu shot, The guards can even catch it if they was not immunized from all the tourists crowding around! To me the guards and horse to me that's unsanitary and unsafe!!!? I do hear some tourist are coughing and sneezing and let's not forget it is also airborne that's why they need to stop that crowd.
I loathe these tourist hordes. Like swarms of locusts.
The police should be doing more to control these crowds
I just can't believe how disrespectful people are. These horses are working animals. They are being petted as if they are at a petting zoo. How rude and totally inconsiderate.
Absolutely,well said.
They shouldn’t be allowed to get near the horses. They have no respect at all. They are not there merely as a tourist attraction, they are guards and these people are totally ignorant
Horses r highly bred therefore highly strung, so please respect their pedigree which is probably higher than URS 😂
Nice 👍👍
Why can’t they put barriers up to stop the tourists getting so close, they are not a show piece they are doing a very important job and should be respected for it
What's wrong with people are they all flipping stupid they should be fined for interfering with the guard and his poor horse xx Heather 🇬🇧
Am I wrong to wish that some of these rude people would get bitten?
Our troops shouldnt have to put up with this.
I can't believe the ignorance of some people! This is not a petting zoo they are working horses. The guards are real soldiers not Hollywood pretty boys! The police need to take more control and a notice should be posted that the horses must not be touched. The poor animals are becoming very agitated. Next we will some idiot groping the guards! I'm appalled!
Poor horse looks tired
THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY ENTITLED TOURISTS HERE.
Amazing blessing 🥰♥️👍
Way too many people in the way of the guard and horse. I hate it when people think it is funny to be inappropriate with horse and guard and think it is a joke. I love it when people touch the horse gentle and then give a slight rub as a Thank You. Very respectful and appreciative action
The photographs are far more important than getting hurt
You can tell by the horse who is afraid of horses
A young girl from that group hit the horse on the nose three times. It was a group of Spanish students.
They didn't look spanish though did they. More like the horrors who had just alighted a rubber boat in Dover.
Yes I saw that video and couldn’t believe no one in the crowd stopped her, the guard did not see the first two slaps she gave the horse but the tourists definately could, shame on all the people who saw her slap the horse and did nothing.
The illegal immigrants probably never seen a horse before, that’s why they were crowding around the guards
4:45, man in the Union Jack knit cap. Now there's a Celtic face if I ever saw one, looks like most of my family.
The group were speaking spanish ,i know a lot of spanish here in uk ,but these spanish speaking tourists i would say are definately from the shall we say the more underclass of their society,very different from the ones i know
They must have a bit saved up though. Hotels etc in London are not cheap !!!!
