There are just too many tourists in the area.....it really needs more police control and distancing around the horses and mounted guards.....a serious incident is imminent if things aren’t taken in hand.
They moved the Buckingham Palace guards inside way back in the 1950/60s. It's time they do something about the Horse Guards before someone is killed. Children and the elderly can't move so fast and anyway will have nowhere to run with the hundreds of tourists crowding in.
Ja ,und wenn jemand getreten wird ist das die Wache und das Pferd schuld ,dann wird sich beschwert. Auf eigene Verantwortung .wer nicht hören will muss fühlen .
People used to have to stand outside the outer railings. The public did not used to be allowed inside the railings, near where the horses and guards are. The horses are very scared, and the guards are finding it very difficult to control them.
The Guards on the inside have a chain link fence to keep the tourists out - what do the horses have? Nothing. It should be illegal for the tourists to bother them.
Unfortunately that can't be done as the horse and soldiers are posted near a main road and public footpath so cannot be cordoned off. Inside the barrack walls however a cordon can be put in place if necessary especially for the changing of the guards while the ceremony is going on.
I love this horse. He was like: "nope, I've had enough of you, I'm leaving now" And away he went .... And I can understand him so well. If I were a horse there, I would probably pinch every one of them.
Their riders sign up for it, the poor horses are drafted and have to stand in a box for an hour with people messing with you. I don't blame him for taking a hike
good for him he wasn't happy horse and I don't blame him I can't even being and ex BRIT I did that I did go to London every year around my birthday etc . way back in the 70s we went to speakers corner one time
There should be some protection for them all the time, but I've always wondered why, after the horse has been stressed out and "playing up" (I consider it begging to leave), why don't they have a policeman stationed to stop the tourists from bothering it. In fact, why don't they do that anyway, before it gets stressed. They can't all be Ormonde.
They do, but it would hinder the police officers they would have to stand in front of the guard houses all day long. People seem to have lost out on common sense and respect for everything.
People are so rude. That is way too many people crowded around that horse. But 99% of these people have never been around horses and have no idea what harm a horse can do.
Lol...seriously those horses probably weigh 164 K / 1500 Lbs and can Decapitate a human with 1 Strike ....thats why they have Police for Crowd Control , it's for the Humans not the Horses.( The Horses don't need any Protection)
@@tracysp9189 Tracy is right, that horse was walking slowly along the pavement..🐴. Standing in the box, being touched by hundeds of people must get very tedious... Imho, time to let them have an hour in the 🦋🌳field🌳🦋, or something, instead of having to stand, stock still , putting up with endless tourist interference....🐎 Can't some sort of thing be put round them, like the red ropes on stands that you see in stately homes , to keep the visitors from jumping on the furniture ?🌈 I say make some lovely colourful statues, and let the tourists take their photos with them instead... I'd be glad to make the statues...I hear the going rate is about £30 K...🐎🙂🐎
If this was a spook and run, anyone can ride a horse, lol. Mine ducks his shoulder to dislodge me then spins hard and runs at a full gallop and is 17.2 hands. Now that is a spook!
They have no care or consideration to the riders, horses and proper "tourists" because this lot in my estimation are not they are visibly causing mayhem without any thought of others.
A horsewoman here, this horse was NOT spooked! It was taking a lone of the novice guard 😂. I have seen this many times when a new rider is not confident in their own ability for whatever reason. The commanding officer will not “get a new one” as someone commented in the video as this would only teach the horse that it can do as it pleases with this rider. Well done to the guard for turning the horse around, it now knows that the guard will not backdown and give up. Horses are smarter than people think. It is often seen in these videos by the fact that they tend to be gentle or playful with children and more aggressive with adults.
Can you explain why the guard on foot who led the horse back, pressed the horses ribs twice? In two different spots. I didn't see any comment here about that.....
@@LorraineTerpening Trying to move his back end over so she could back him into the box. Using her hand where a rider uses a leg…the mounted guard was doing the same with his leg. Horse wasn’t having it though
People truly are stupid. If I saw a horse that size anywhere near me or coming in my general direction, I wouldn't hang around to pose for a selfie! Domesticated or not, a horse is still a wild animal at heart. Much as I love and admire horses, I also respect what they are capable of doing.
When will they protect these magnificent horses from the idiot entitled public ? What would it hurt to paint a line around the arch and put up a sign telling people not to cross PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WILL SOMEONE TAKE ACTION BEFORE ONE OF THESE HORSES GETS SERIOUSLY HURT 😢 I would like to see what happens if you have a police dog handler on guard aswell and let's see how many idiots grab at the dog to get their photo with it

Well done Guard for your calm control of this stunning horse who happened to be agitated and has an off moment. It must be so hard to control a horse with just one hand
Actually it's easier than you think ..I have been riding horses for over 60 years and have always ridden one handed and controlled a freaked out horse ...And they are trained to be exceptional horse persons ...they simulate all kinds of condition so the rider knows what to do and when ...Much respect to them
The horse seemed to be interested in that distant screaming of a child. Each time the scream was heard the horse looked in that direction and pricked its ears up. Could this have been the reason?
That was my thought, I want to get away from squalling children too when it goes on and on. Don’t misunderstand, it’s not the child but the inattentive or useless parent(s) I want shut of. 😢
Too many people now, especially with the Coronation days away it's only going to get worse. I'm really surprised that they haven't installed some sort of crowd barrier routing system which will enable the guards to do their job properly and for the safety of the horses.
Indeed! Those guards are selected among the best members of the military. The cream of the crop. And those horses are incredibly trained, too. Still, too many people think it's just for show. Those swords and hooves are real, though.
@maryseflore7028 they are not selected from the best. These soldiers are recruited like any other and may be successful in joining the Regt they requested. The training is the same for any soldier. What they have is the pride of the prestige at being one of the Horse Guards and its being a unique position with the ceremonial duties it entails.
@@kaymackay3519 Yes you are quite right, and also a bit wrong. The Guards regiments come pretty close to being the top of the tree. Being sp prestigious, although they are made up of “standard recruits” they get a lot of applicants and therefore get to pick and choose some of the very best of each intake. Other than that you are totally correct.
Far too many people milling around, I personally would find that horrendous, horses can be unpredictable, the thought of a sabre tooth tiger often in their minds.
Poor horse could not take anymore and thought I'm going looking for a quiet field to hide in, I will take my guard with me he looks like he has had enough also
I could not abide being in a crowd like that. So grateful for these guards who grit their teeth and just do their jobs in the midst of so much noise and crowding.
No wonder the poor horse got spooked, too many people to deal with & noise unbearable also. For the safety of both horses & guards, something has got to change asap.
The horse was not scared, 🐴it just fancied a look down the path..... probably just fed up with tourists, and being expected to stand still all that time...🙂🐴
Horsey thought he’d sneak back to the stables through the side entrance. Interesting first day for this new guard. I hope it gets better 🙂 Love my shouting guard. ☺️
I've watched several of these videos and people act like they have never seen a horse before. Their behavior is disgusting. I don't think the horses should be put through all this when it isn't necessary anymore. They should be kept behind a gate so people can't touch them.
Everyone standing there is utterly DISRESPECTFUL! They have no brains to realize to NOT crowd the guard and his horse? These people need to BACK the hell away...They are all so bloody RUDE!
standing there is bad enough, but mauling them around and grabbing the reigns is totally unacceptable. I wish there were some laws to protect those poor horses.
The tourists are just ignorant, and apparently illiterate as they can't read a sign that tells them the horses kick and bite, but send their kids over there anyway. They consider them tin soldiers on play horses. It's disgusting. They are highly trained soldiers and some of the best riders in the country!
It amazes me that these ignorant people have to be told to move back when you can clearly see the horse is upset. I keep saying they need to make new rules to stop people from crowding the horse and petting it.
"SPOOKED horse RUNS down packed street!" *Horse who was annoyed that people kept wanting to violate it's nostrils walks off indignantly for a few seconds*
What is wrong with these people? You have a frightened horse and your laughing loudly and crowding around like idiots. Right after getting back in place you've got two ignorant back at it, the man who is just staring and the bimbo in the black jacket who actually runs towards the Guard and horse. There's barriers there, they should make everyone stand behind them and on allow a few at a time to get photos and then move on so there's no crowd build up all the time.
When are the people in charge going to stop members of the public petting and stroking the horses, it upsets them, and there was a prime example, it a good job the young lady was there to run after the horse and bring it back.
Maybe the area where the horse and Guard is, could be roped off with enough space so strangers do not pat him. The dear horse has a lot to deal with: noise, distractions, weight and he's trying to focus on standing still.
Ropes are a danger to both the horse and the public. It's too easy for the horses to get tangled up or trip. A painted line on the ground would be safest.
At the very least they could have a police officer standing nearby to stop these ignorant cretins from bothering the horses - the poor horses didn't even ask for the job.
Why are people so stupid. These horses and their Officers aren’t amusements at Disney Land. They are on duty. Maintain a respectful distance and move along. Stand right in line of a spooked horse. Dear Lord! 🤦🏼♀️
Unfortunately, so many people in so many situations are unable to distinguish make believe from reality. That applies politically, but in more widespread situation. I worked in a library that had a children's reading area decorated with a setting related to some popular books. It had a gate and a transparent stream with fish embedded, frogs sitting on the bank and more. In the first minutes of the very first day the place was opened for the first time, I witnessed generally well-behaved kids turn into rampaging monsters as soon as the passed the gate--as it if were a Macdonald's play area. And a couple years later, a woman complained to me as Manager that a librarian had warned her 4 year old about the same kind of behavior. She asked, with grave seriousness, why we made the area look like Outdoors if we didn't want Outdoor Behavior. It is everywhere.
Always surprised by the people surrounding the horse. They are literally on the horse as soon as his back in his surroundings. Can’t they just stop touching the horse !!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently they are all illiterate and ignorant. They stand right by the sign that says the horses bite and kick, and send their kids in for photos.....what kind of parents are they? It also tells them to keep off the reigns, but that apparently applies to everyone except the person pulling on the reigns. There should be some kind of consequence for bothering the horses. (the Guards at least volunteered for the job - the horses are shanghaied.
Perhaps if those tourists get kicked in the face they will learn to give the horses room. Very impressed by that female soldier though, she was really quick off the mark running after that horse and helping to take control of it. Too many tourists in too little space, what were the police doing???
Stroppy horse goes for a bimble down pavement. If he had been spooked and running there is no way the soldeir on foot would have caught up to him and lead him back.
Someday someone will get really hurt by a stressed horse, and only then will they realize they need to provide distance between these magnificent horses and the public.
It;s time to put severe restrictions in place to keep the public away from the horses. If people want to pet a horse, go to a petting farm, but leave these working horses alone. I am sure restictions can be put in place., rather than a horse being provoked to the point of stampeding or biting and kicking and then having it's career ended.
...and the police stand back uselessly, as usual. Why weren't they controlling the crowd? And, still, the tourists stand and gawk. Bad judgment call there, with the soldier walking away. No way should that guard have been left in that situation. Then, here come the idiots up close again for their photo ops. Complete and total morons, the lot of them. To be honest, I was hoping the horse would take off again and injure someone...maybe that would alert The Powers That Be to the awful conditions these horses and guards are working under and they'd do something to better protect them.
I've never seen the Guards do anything like that. I hope I never do. I can't abide spurs for any reason. If someone dug those into my ribs I wouldn't stand idly by.
What a crowd! That could be dangerous. The horse had become nervous. The public don't understand what a horse can do it in panic. They laugh like unaware person.
Winnie Wallace... If this was happening in a circus everyone would be up in arms. Expecting a horse to stand still for hours is unexceptional, not to mention the tourists. They're more out of control than the horse becomes.
It's not a "good point" but they do one hour on and so many hours off, but even an hour is an hour too long. No wonder some of them plain refuse to go in the box,, they didn't even volunteer for the job.
There have gotten too many tourists around the front gates and they should NOT be allowed to block the soldiers and ABSOLUTELY not allowed to touch the horses it's absolutely ignorant and rude at this point. These animals need protection.
How I wish the King would put a stop to all this mess. It really is dangerous for the HORSES and the guardsman's. and I guess I need to add the tourist to that list too shouldn't I? Ok, ok here it is and the tourist too. ❤❤❤

And the people still stand there. She even had to tell a man to move. Honestly, that horse has more sense in one hoof than those people standing there

If they don't enforce some boundaries around the horses, it's only a matter of time until someone gets hurt.
Unfortunately that can't be done as the horse and soldiers are posted near a main road and public footpath so cannot be cordoned off. Inside the barrack walls however a cordon can be put in place if necessary especially for the changing of the guards while the ceremony is going on.
So agree
At least put another guard around the corner to help move the crowd away from them

maybe if they started charging for the priviledge of seeing these great horses and guards, there would be more respect for the great work they do.
What a great idea. Or move the sentry boxes in a little so they aren't on the public sidewalk and the tourists can be thrown out.
Horse says “I think I’ll just go for a walk down here” lol, but on a serious note glad nobody got injured, tfs Julie
The trooper knows her way around horses..! Good job!
2:19 I would not be standing inches from the back legs of a spooked horse!
I love horses
People forget those guards are highly trained military personnel. The weapons the police carry are fully loaded with real ammo.
And the swords the guards carry can kill you. Those are real weapons
The tourists are just ignorant, and apparently illiterate as they can't read a sign that tells them the horses kick and bite, but send their kids over there anyway. They consider them tin soldiers on play horses. It's disgusting. They are highly trained soldiers and some of the best riders in the country!
It amazes me that these ignorant people have to be told to move back when you can clearly see the horse is upset. I keep saying they need to make new rules to stop people from crowding the horse and petting it.
that poor guard he couldn't do anything that horse was determined to go back to the stables.
The horse wanted to go do some shopping 😂
"Time for a stroll. Oh come on, I dont want to go back in there! Noisy tourists, screaming kids. Need quiet time!"
Horrors!! That CROWD! If I was a tourist, I wouldn’t even want to
be in that mess!!!!
Why doesn’t the military or government place boundaries around the guards. People are so rude and 99.5% don’t show any respect for them.
"SPOOKED horse RUNS down packed street!"
*Horse who was annoyed that people kept wanting to violate it's nostrils walks off indignantly for a few seconds*
Click bait title for sure. Ridiculous! "The King's Guard" YT channel needs a different job.
I understand why this horse was spooked. I feel so sorry for the horse and kings guard. Whoa! There are so many people surrounding them.
My God ,,, far to many people at once,,,, I feel bad for the guards and the horses ,,, there has to be a better way !!!😢😮
What is wrong with these people? You have a frightened horse and your laughing loudly and crowding around like idiots. Right after getting back in place you've got two ignorant back at it, the man who is just staring and the bimbo in the black jacket who actually runs towards the Guard and horse. There's barriers there, they should make everyone stand behind them and on allow a few at a time to get photos and then move on so there's no crowd build up all the time.
🤣 the horse felt like taking the new rider for a stroll
Poor horses and mounted guards! They surely deserve better!
so many people it's over stimulation for the horse. That as a good trick to bring it in thought the back doors.
When are the people in charge going to stop members of the public petting and stroking the horses, it upsets them, and there was a prime example, it a good job the young lady was there to run after the horse and bring it back.
Maybe the area where the horse and Guard is, could be roped off with enough space so strangers do not pat him. The dear horse has a lot to deal with: noise, distractions, weight and he's trying to focus on standing still.
Ropes are a danger to both the horse and the public. It's too easy for the horses to get tangled up or trip. A painted line on the ground would be safest.
At the very least they could have a police officer standing nearby to stop these ignorant cretins from bothering the horses - the poor horses didn't even ask for the job.
Why are people so stupid. These horses and their Officers aren’t amusements at Disney Land. They are on duty. Maintain a respectful distance and move along. Stand right in line of a spooked horse. Dear Lord! 🤦🏼♀️
Unfortunately, so many people in so many situations are unable to distinguish make believe from reality. That applies politically, but in more widespread situation. I worked in a library that had a children's reading area decorated with a setting related to some popular books. It had a gate and a transparent stream with fish embedded, frogs sitting on the bank and more. In the first minutes of the very first day the place was opened for the first time, I witnessed generally well-behaved kids turn into rampaging monsters as soon as the passed the gate--as it if were a Macdonald's play area. And a couple years later, a woman complained to me as Manager that a librarian had warned her 4 year old about the same kind of behavior. She asked, with grave seriousness, why we made the area look like Outdoors if we didn't want Outdoor Behavior. It is everywhere.
The powers that be should stop this. I feel for the guards, and the horses.
The horse has had enough!! Poor horse
Respect for the guards , because you have the privilege to watch them have respect .they are armed and can shoot . 🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏😊
Too many people and the horses are learning new things for the King's parade
Poor horse is overwhelmed by tourists swarming him and the guard. Back up people!!! Insanity!
People and their cameras!!!!This makes me sick.The poor horses and soldiers having to put up with this BS.King Charles needs to put a stop to this..
The crowd is too thick.
The horse WALKED, it didn't run.
I saw no spook and run... I saw a horse who wanted to go for a little walk...
Horses get peed off as we do sometimes. The guards are amazing. More l watch, more respect l have for them, horse and rider.
Horse said, I’m done, I’m off to the pub.
Always surprised by the people surrounding the horse. They are literally on the horse as soon as his back in his surroundings. Can’t they just stop touching the horse !!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently they are all illiterate and ignorant. They stand right by the sign that says the horses bite and kick, and send their kids in for photos.....what kind of parents are they? It also tells them to keep off the reigns, but that apparently applies to everyone except the person pulling on the reigns. There should be some kind of consequence for bothering the horses. (the Guards at least volunteered for the job - the horses are shanghaied.
That horse does not “run” anywhere, he decided to walk down the sidewalk, which was not “packed.” Just a bit busy.
Perhaps if those tourists get kicked in the face they will learn to give the horses room.
Very impressed by that female soldier though, she was really quick off the mark running after that horse and helping to take control of it.
Too many tourists in too little space, what were the police doing???
Stroppy horse goes for a bimble down pavement. If he had been spooked and running there is no way the soldeir on foot would have caught up to him and lead him back.
Thanks for introducing me to a new word. I was ignorant of "bible", which is a sweet term.
Someday someone will get really hurt by a stressed horse, and only then will they realize they need to provide distance between these magnificent horses and the public.
It;s time to put severe restrictions in place to keep the public away from the horses. If people want to pet a horse, go to a petting farm, but leave these working horses alone. I am sure restictions can be put in place., rather than a horse being provoked to the point of stampeding or biting and kicking and then having it's career ended.
I've noticed that when the horse and guard are within the alcove no comes in to pet the horse. The horse also feels safer and calms down.
The crowds probably spooked the note.
I would not let anyone touch the horse!
...and the police stand back uselessly, as usual. Why weren't they controlling the crowd? And, still, the tourists stand and gawk. Bad judgment call there, with the soldier walking away. No way should that guard have been left in that situation. Then, here come the idiots up close again for their photo ops. Complete and total morons, the lot of them. To be honest, I was hoping the horse would take off again and injure someone...maybe that would alert The Powers That Be to the awful conditions these horses and guards are working under and they'd do something to better protect them.
Sometimes the sliders will spur and yank on the horses but some riders are understanding and kind to them❤
I've never seen the Guards do anything like that. I hope I never do. I can't abide spurs for any reason. If someone dug those into my ribs I wouldn't stand idly by.
Yes my thoughts too . They should be barriers .
What a crowd! That could be dangerous. The horse had become nervous. The public don't understand what a horse can do it in panic. They laugh like unaware person.
Winnie Wallace... If this was happening in a circus everyone would be up in arms. Expecting a horse to stand still for hours is unexceptional, not to mention the tourists. They're more out of control than the horse becomes.
They don't "stand still for hours" they're on duty for 1 hour 3 days a week.
It's not a "good point" but they do one hour on and so many hours off, but even an hour is an hour too long. No wonder some of them plain refuse to go in the box,, they didn't even volunteer for the job.
Horse said "Break time for me." I watch a lot of these vidoes and man the horses are so beautiful and majestic.
There have gotten too many tourists around the front gates and they should NOT be allowed to block the soldiers and ABSOLUTELY not allowed to touch the horses it's absolutely ignorant and rude at this point. These animals need protection.
😮😮😮 Oh my goodness. My heart goes out to the guards and horses
Man that horse DECIDED his shift was over lol
How I wish the King would put a stop to all this mess. It really is dangerous for the HORSES and the guardsman's. and I guess I need to add the tourist to that list too shouldn't I? Ok, ok here it is and the tourist too. ❤❤❤
The horse wanted to mingle 😅hoping for some snacks 😜
