G’day, John. It bothers me a quite bit to watch folks cross the lines and more with the trooper letting it go. Nice conversation with the lady in California.
You know, I don't want to be unfair about this old tourist that's grabbing and pulling on the reins, especially if he's simple-minded. His actions here seem irrational. So do so many of the other adults that grab the reins or lean on the Horseman. Many of these people are Brits., too. 😒
Eu também acho sou do Brasil fico indiguinada com esses turistas idossos jovens adolecentes crianças as mulheres homens desrespeitando as leis desses pais não toque nós cavalos eles tem que ser multados ou pressos já não aguento mais ver essa gente fazer o que quer😡😡😡😡😡
I agree.....we have seen the lunatics and weirdos and just plain idiots that show up around the Horse Guard stations and I would not let them give anything to my pet or animal I was in charge of....acid, meth, cocaine, trank...just because they think it would be funny....what is going on with half the horse guards sitting there like they are lost in space?
I agree 100%. When one guard doesn’t check the tourists it just makes it all the more difficult for the rest of the troops. How much effort does it take to ask the offenders to step back?
@@sandradavis18 I have watched so many of these videos, and all I know is that there are only four guards that do their job. The rest seem like a bunch of Disney leftovers. Same with the police, only four worth their paychecks.
this female trooper needs some additional training, she isn't even holding the reins properly! whivh leads to less contol of her horse - she also acts like there's something wrong with her, or is she afraid of the crowd? just weird
G'day John, oh my goodness, the Guard was trying to pull the reins away from that man a few times ... finally, he got the hint! What an absolute idiot!😡🤬 Well done to the other Guard, telling those Tourists to GET OUT of the box. Kudos😊
Did you see the look on the man's face when he finally let go? Could hear my grandmother's favorite comment when she though us grandkids weren't looking...aww BS😂
Hi John. It's so nice to see the guards slide their hands down to rub the horses neck to comfort them and help calm them. With some tourists they need the comfort.
Glad to see you back. Dedication to say the least. Keep up the good work john,I know you will. Thanks again. That old man had some brass to grad the reigns as he did,surprised the trooper didn't yell at him.
First of all, there are a bunch of like type channels with videos of the Kings Guard. By far yours is the best. You do not put misleading titles that promise interesting interactions but never deliver. Keep up the good work. The horses in the Kings Guard and the Police Force are so beautiful. I understand the desire to touch and pet them but there has to be restraint in showing respect. I do encourage the guards to get more proactive in enforcing the rules. I still say one good tap with that sword would work!!!😄
What is the point of having that box & guards not telling them to get out...what a waste of time that was...even when that man was in the box & grabbed the reine nothing...I think it's absolutely ridiculous
This lady Trouper alas says very little and doesn't care that these ignorant tourists put their hands all over her horse. Its sad to see and makes all that hard work pointless.
@@Scullyrose2693 Oh relax, she knows better than you how to handle this. This is done for tourists. Kinda loses it interest if they start clubbing and arresting people for making mistakes. He prob didn't speak English and was on the other side of the sign. Didn't seem like he did it on purpose.
Tell them to get out the box that’s the reason the box has been painted roar at them Guard’s you give these Tourist’s an inch they take a yard it doesn’t matter what you do to keep them away from the horse incase they get bitten but they just ignore the Rules shame and disgraceful
I John, after watching 12 minutes of this. You should ask the people that step over the line. Or stand close to the horse. I even tried to touch like the little boy. The Chinese women. Like, why don't you ask them? Why did they do that? That would be really good because so many viewers. On all channels, state their frustration Also they're disgust and the fact that the guards don't do anything.
I know you were talking to a fan.That's great.It was actually for quite a bit.I know she was in the hospital, but you didn't move.The camera cause quite a few people got really close.So just thought I'd like you know
I just can't stand the morons that don't think the rules apply to them. It drives me crazy and I have to stop watching because I don't understand why the guards don't yell at them. If they don't reprimand people, they will just think they can get away with anything. I can't even imagine if we tried to do that to the Mounties here in Canada.
For a few days after the white lines and signs, it was calm again and horses and guards looked more relaxed. I never bash the guards, but, I have noticed several do not even bother to tell people to stay off the horse, or stay behind the white lines, and allow crowds to gather up around the horses....they sit there like they are away on an acid trip and just let the tourons do whatever they want....Half enforce the rules and half totally ignore the rules....I mean, seriously, what is up with that?
WOW...I loved your interaction with the lady, Josie, on the phone. You made her day for sure, John. I love that my favorite horse Ormand has a toy made of him.
Problem is the pavement is 'public highway' which means the troopers cannot enforce 'no access. ' Grabbing the reins however totally wrong. I think the perps should be fined £80 per grab.. with the money going to a veterans charity or similar.
How about tourist should learn how to behave and respect the sign on the wall. They are rude and if the guard should yell at every rude tourist that can't behave he would not have any voice left after an hour.
@@Pitcairn2 I don't know about Britain, but when I was in the army in 1956/1962, stationed in France. The military was authorized total control of the "pavement" /sidewalk in front of and along side the Caserne up to the roadway. The building called Whitehall is a military installation/caserne and the military should have authority to control what takes place on the pavement in front of and along side up to the road. If it has no authority to control the actions, then why are the horses aloud to protrude onto the pavement.? And who decided to paint the white lines on the pavement and for what purpose are they painted. If it is to control the tourists then the guards also have that same authority, and they should speak up due to the actual fact they are guarding the military compound of the King. Either guarding is done nor not at all. You can't have it halfway, it makes the military look like a bunch of confused kids instead of soldiers. And as far as the police go, they as well should be staying on top of the potential chaos trouble that can happen at the drop of a hat by a terrorist in that crowd. Final comment is either they are in control or they are not. No 50/50.
I live in America and I even know not to touch the reins…Love the Don’t touch the horse sign…..Not everyone reads English so there is no excuse anymore…..
Oh the BLUES are on this week. Few days ago the LIFE guards were on & everything was GREAT. No one was allowed in the box !! Hopefully these Blues will stop playing the WIMPY KID guard game & bring respect BACK. Please M O D At 18.58 a BLUES guardsmen told this woman to Get out of Box. Thank you Guardsman
Only the first two Lifeguard troopers were on the ball, keeping people out of the box. The rest of them just sat on their horses and said nothing, even to people petting the horses.
I think York knows his shift is over. They are brilliant, aren't they? Looks beautiful there. Remnants of the hurricane here. It was a massive and did a great deal of damage. Prayers to all affected. Love your videos John. Those young kids were amazing.
John, While you were talking to Jossey (sp) from California, about watching you while in hospital, I am watching you while making soup for dinner tonight. I watch all the time: when cooking or doing the washing-up; after watching the news and getting all upset. Watching Horse Guards and listening to your acerbic wit distracts and relaxes and makes me feel like I am in London again. Which I will be, SOON. And I will come by. I have a photo of me, patting a horse at Horse Guards from 1995. Alas, no more patting the horses now. By for now. Persis
Sooo happy to see this change for the horses. You could see the obvious distress in the horses all the time. I would get so mad watching the ignorance of MOST tourists not noticing when a horse DID NOT want them near. DO NOT LET ANYONE FEED THEM ANYTHING!!!
John, love the video. I'm happy to see many respecting the rules. But alot of Guards allowed them. Shameful that they disobey direct orders. Then others see that tourists are being allowed. So they will follow suit.
The lady trooper needs to open her mouth and tell a few who are starting to creep forward to back off! Maybe those two trooper should have told the people to get on the otherside of the line instead of staying silent and letting them do as they pleased.
WOW!!!!! The guards usually yell if you touch ,grab or tug on the reins but didn't 😮😮😮😮 . Sorry John Good Morning....this threw me off. Have a awesome day ALOHA From Hawaii ❤❤❤❤
Hello from Australia. A retired mounted police officer who did traffic duty on a busy intersection before it had traffic lights said his horse would sleep until about five minutes before the end of their shift.
I love watching your videos here across the pond! I was life time resident of a small tourist town and know what idiots tourists can be. It’s as a small town outside of Syracuse NY USA that sits on a lake and in summers the population doubles. Keep up the videos it’s the only way I’ll ever see London.
Hi, John.I'm on the west coast canada.. I just wanted to say this is the first video of yours since the new rule, I stopped watching channels speak cause it just was too frustrating. New rules or any rules will not work if the guards do not enforce them. What really upset me was with the new rules. One of the guards I think he was in the red jackets. The lifeguards a woman came up asked to touch the horse and he actually said yes. And then she's way into the white lines. And she's touching the horse. People are so upset with some of the guards, not understanding why they don't do anything and are saying they should be reprimanded. It's absolutely ridiculous. I'm going to continue to watch but we'll see.
Shame on this guard I thought she would uphold the new rules, people have worked long and hard for these changes and these guards are allowing the horses to be harrassed and abused, they should be reported.
The UK should have a law making it a crime to grab the reigns of any horse without the rider's permission. This is basically the same as a passenger grabbing the steering wheel while someone is driving. Here in the States that would result in a reckless driving or similar charge against the passenger and has happened more than once in my state. I know that in one city I lived in we had mounted police patrolling the downtown area and one person was arrested for grabbing the reigns. It happened right in front of me as I was walking out of a shop. The guy grabbed the reigns and would not let go and the other mounted officer dismounted his horse and grabbed the guy and put him in handcuffs. I don't know what he was charged with but those officers were NOT amused.
I credit you guys that video every day for bringing more attention to the ridiculous behavior of the tourists and how the new rules are now being enforced . So happy to see that people are having to stay back,it’s pitiful that adults have to be taught proper behavior!
Sono di Milano, Italia e mi sono iscritta perchè amo l'Inghilterra, il popolo Inglese,le Guardie Reali e i loro Cavalli e tutte quelle persone meravigliose che fanno rispettare il vostro Meraviglioso Paese ❤❤❤❤
Wesley Colledge is one of the most prestigious schools in Australia. My brother went there in the 1970s. I'm glad you are back. Your videos are the only ones I watch from the horse guards. ❤ from Queensland Australia
Private school kids in oz are generally more well behaved, I went to a private high school and we often were inflicted with weekend detention if we stepped outa line. The rules are strict, hair, uniform, make-up, n representation of the school must be adhered to.
I cant get over the amount of comments bashing the guards. These aren't children ignoring etiquette and signs. These are adults who should know better. The soldiers shouldn't have to yell at anyone.
Any adult tourist that touches the horse should get a free ride to the airport. And politely sent on a flight home. Being in another country is a privilege not a right.
Being a professional horseman for well over 45 years it takes educated hands to ride with a full bridle with two hands . Most of these troopers have not been riding long and having them ride with one hand with thick gloves is a challenge. 90% of the time that the horses are acting up the trooper has the curb rein too tight and the snaffle rein has no contact .
Thank you for acknowledging that skill comes with time and experience . At early twenties most of these young troopers ARE short on experience, but how else do they obtain it? The more experienced riding instructors and noncommissioned officers do not do guard duty.
@@Roheryn100 I spent some time in England showing and a couple of my friends there had boyfriends that were troopers . I had the opportunity to give them lessons for a few months and they really got good . Unfortunately I get it that that double bridle is part of traditional Tack and it’s unfortunate the day to day standing in the box couldn’t be done with just a snaffle . P.S. thanks for responding, take care
@@jeffreycurtis3146 I actually tend to agree with you about the curb rein; it’s a pity they don’t use the snaffle more. However, I’m not in their situation in public and full ceremonial uniform. I can add that I lived in London for 20 years and I’ve never seen such crowds around Whitehall as I’ve seen since the coronation. The horses and soldiers used to be treated with a great deal more respect. I taught at London saddle clubs for over a decade and even taught a few times in the indoor school at the Hyde Park barracks. My husband was ex cavalry.
@@Roheryn100 hello , yes the crowd size is a bit overwhelming. It is also very apparent that the self proclaimed budget tour guides don’t educate their guests on respectful protocol .
My interpretation is that the painted box should be a guide; if someone gets slightly inside it, like the little boy did, it's not a big deal. It least it prevents the majority from walking straight up and standing next to the horse. Obviously if someone blatantly does that without even noticing the white lines, they deserve a shout. As an aside, I know they've been put there to be noticed, but personally I wish the lines were a bit more subtle i.e. perhaps grey in colour. It's just that they look like a parking restriction in bright white, and don't really suit the backdrop.
Maybe its the reason they are on foot, John. Being on these magnificent horses is a privilege that they may have to earn back after they failed to guard them last time.
Just a note to tell you how much I enjoy your channel. I watch every single video you put out there. Thank You for entertaining us. Love From California ❣
There is no way these "guards, " were ever in the military. They actike they are afraid of their own shadows. They are definitely afraid to even speak. 😂
John ,I,think that you have second sight,because you mention something and it happens.To-day it was rein pullers and there have been lots of other things.Any chance of Lottery Numbers ?
The horse who got impatient had been watching the other horse as soon as the bells started to ring. I think he wanted to go be with his friend. I used to feel like that too sometimes waiting for 3:00 so I could go home; so can understand only, I would have gotten trouble if I had had a temper fit. I don't remember his name but he looks familiar and I really like him.
The horse with the diamond on its head is awesome! So beautiful! I have some questions; What breed are the big black horses? Are they all that breed? What type of bit do they use, and what is the advantage? This sign doesn’t say “don’t touch the reins”. That’s very important. I wonder why it doesn’t say that. The guards all look so young and handsome. Any information on how they are chosen and special training? Thank you for your time and expertise. 😊
I have not been watching for a while just returned to see the no touching the horses so happy about time.Great relief for the horses I am over the moon for them.
@LondonCityWalks Don't kid yourself, mate 😊, they were from an exy school. Just to get into the school, it will cost $3200, then fees start at over $25,000 and go up yearly until 10-12, where it will cost you $43,156. His school takes on a lot of international students. We have a youth crime issue in Australia. Some states are worse than others. I don't think British kids are worse in behaviour than ours. Have a good one...

The troopers should stop anyone feeding the horses. You don't know what they are giving them it could be harmful to the horse.
yes very true , there CROWN , King , horses ,
i hope now Securty ....i can help ......stay safe take it easy xoxox

I wrote that recently in one of my excessively long posts that people probably don’t read. You were much better at making the point…😊
So now we know that the guards have authority to ensure that the rules are obeyed. why don't they all do it and stop this ignorance shown by tourists?
Que parte no entienden los turistas siguen intentando tocar al caballo y guardia

I just seen what that tourist did with the horses reins. Disrespect indeed
Yes I saw this in the other video. I think you were talking with someone and missed it. I agree that’s a totally disrespectful thing to do.
The horses know when it’s time to go back to the barracks. They hear the bell and get antsy.😊
The horse with the diamond on his forehead is gorgeous. Thanks, John, for verifying its norseman.
Hi John. It's so nice to see the guards slide their hands down to rub the horses neck to comfort them and help calm them.

The Guard is ignoring the people who are not following the rules. It just takes one.
Where are the rules, for the white line, posted for the tourist to see? Also, coming out of the courtyard, the horse blocks seeing the posted signs.

Useless children and don't respond with, "they are military guards. BS - They wouldn't have a job in any other country that has honor guards.
Problem is the pavement is 'public highway' which means the troopers cannot enforce 'no access. ' Grabbing the reins however totally wrong. I think the perps should be fined £80 per grab.. with the money going to a veterans charity or similar.

Shame on this guard I thought she would uphold the new rules, people have worked long and hard for these changes and these guards are allowing the horses to be harrassed and abused, they should be reported.
When (time stamp) happen?
The guard’s job is to stand in the box on duty. The police protect the guard, horse and grounds
Don’t ever say shame on the guard, shame on you!!!

The UK should have a law making it a crime to grab the reigns of any horse without the rider's permission. This is basically the same as a passenger grabbing the steering wheel while someone is driving. Here in the States that would result in a reckless driving or similar charge against the passenger and has happened more than once in my state. I know that in one city I lived in we had mounted police patrolling the downtown area and one person was arrested for grabbing the reigns. It happened right in front of me as I was walking out of a shop. The guy grabbed the reigns and would not let go and the other mounted officer dismounted his horse and grabbed the guy and put him in handcuffs. I don't know what he was charged with but those officers were NOT amused.
Since introducing the no touch rule the horses appear much calmer.
I credit you guys that video every day for bringing more attention to the ridiculous behavior of the tourists and how the new rules are now being enforced . So happy to see that people are having to stay back,it’s pitiful that adults have to be taught proper behavior!
Sono di Milano, Italia e mi sono iscritta perchè amo l'Inghilterra, il popolo Inglese,le Guardie Reali e i loro Cavalli e tutte quelle persone meravigliose che fanno rispettare il vostro Meraviglioso Paese ❤❤❤❤
…can’t witness these beautiful animals without tears…so proud !…
Wesley college Melbourne Australia is a private coeducational school began in 1866
Wesley College in Western Australia from 1923, coed until Year 6 but high school remains boys only.
@@heatherharvey3129this is Wesley College from Melbourne 👍
@@lixiesfreckles1994 I know - established in the early 1920s here.
I love the videos you do of the kingsguards from Australia 🇦🇺
He didn't do vids of the Kingsguard from Australia, he did the from London, England. 🤣 sorry mate couldn't help it!
Wesley Colledge is one of the most prestigious schools in Australia. My brother went there in the 1970s.
I'm glad you are back. Your videos are the only ones I watch from the horse guards. ❤ from Queensland Australia
The Blues & Royals are a very handsome squadron. They have magnificent horses too ❤

The old man should be banned. Where is the lady officer??
He's on a public pavement !
@@kathellison8084 But he was harassing the guard by grabbing the rein.
Private school kids in oz are generally more well behaved, I went to a private high school and we often were inflicted with weekend detention if we stepped outa line. The rules are strict, hair, uniform, make-up, n representation of the school must be adhered to.
The horse knows what the bell means
The officers in charge should give specific orders to the troopers to tell the tourists to get out !
over the lovely dapple greys...
I cant get over the amount of comments bashing the guards. These aren't children ignoring etiquette and signs. These are adults who should know better. The soldiers shouldn't have to yell at anyone.
The gate is just like the grocery store entrance. People walk in and are paralyzed and gawping.
Any adult tourist that touches the horse should get a free ride to the airport. And politely sent on a flight home. Being in another country is a privilege not a right.
Brilliantly put.
Being a professional horseman for well over 45 years it takes educated hands to ride with a full bridle with two hands . Most of these troopers have not been riding long and having them ride with one hand with thick gloves is a challenge. 90% of the time that the horses are acting up the trooper has the curb rein too tight and the snaffle rein has no contact .
Thank you for acknowledging that skill comes with time and experience . At early twenties most of these young troopers ARE short on experience, but how else do they obtain it? The more experienced riding instructors and noncommissioned officers do not do guard duty.
@@Roheryn100 I spent some time in England showing and a couple of my friends there had boyfriends that were troopers . I had the opportunity to give them lessons for a few months and they really got good . Unfortunately I get it that that double bridle is part of traditional Tack and it’s unfortunate the day to day standing in the box couldn’t be done with just a snaffle . P.S. thanks for responding, take care
@@jeffreycurtis3146 I actually tend to agree with you about the curb rein; it’s a pity they don’t use the snaffle more. However, I’m not in their situation in public and full ceremonial uniform. I can add that I lived in London for 20 years and I’ve never seen such crowds around Whitehall as I’ve seen since the coronation. The horses and soldiers used to be treated with a great deal more respect.
I taught at London saddle clubs for over a decade and even taught a few times in the indoor school at the Hyde Park barracks. My husband was ex cavalry.
@@Roheryn100 hello , yes the crowd size is a bit overwhelming. It is also very apparent that the self proclaimed budget tour guides don’t educate their guests on respectful protocol .
Really enjoy your videos. Find them very relaxing and love the wonderful horses and troopers. The tourists not do much 😋
That was so kind of you❤ but I knew you are a kind person.
Ai o voce superba.!! Frumos comentezi. Îmi face multa placere sa va ascult. Felicitări. Caii sunt superbi. Ii iubesc ff mult. 👍🥰💐💐💐💐💐❤️❤️❤️❤️
My interpretation is that the painted box should be a guide; if someone gets slightly inside it, like the little boy did, it's not a big deal. It least it prevents the majority from walking straight up and standing next to the horse. Obviously if someone blatantly does that without even noticing the white lines, they deserve a shout. As an aside, I know they've been put there to be noticed, but personally I wish the lines were a bit more subtle i.e. perhaps grey in colour. It's just that they look like a parking restriction in bright white, and don't really suit the backdrop.
Respect goes to this trooper for keeping those visitors out of the box,oh John you are full of it 😂😂😂😂😂
I wonder what that tourist said to the lady trooper (10:20) as she seemed to stare at him as he was leaving.
Oi! Bloke ferrofluid t’reins, bloody cheek 😾
Lovely video John 😊
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💙💜🩵🐎🐎🐎😊
Ok does the Ormond toy horse bit also. I love him.
Maybe its the reason they are on foot, John. Being on these magnificent horses is a privilege that they may have to earn back after they failed to guard them last time.
If you ca not respect the rules, do not go!!
dead right. They know what they're doing, call it what you like but for some people, ignorance is bliss, for the rest should we have to shout at 'em?
Just a note to tell you how much I enjoy your channel. I watch every single video you put out there. Thank You for entertaining us. Love From California ❣
The horses seem so much happier
There is no way these "guards, " were ever in the military. They actike they are afraid of their own shadows. They are definitely afraid to even speak. 😂
The excellent commentary make these videos such a pleasure to watch
Ahhh yes Australia. How are things down under?
John ,I,think that you have second sight,because you mention something and it happens.To-day it was rein pullers and there have been lots of other things.Any chance of Lottery Numbers ?
The horse who got impatient had been watching the other horse as soon as the bells started to ring. I think he wanted to go be with his friend. I used to feel like that too sometimes waiting for 3:00 so I could go home; so can understand only, I would have gotten trouble if I had had a temper fit. I don't remember his name but he looks familiar and I really like him.
The horse with the diamond on its head is awesome! So beautiful!
I have some questions;
What breed are the big black horses? Are they all that breed?
What type of bit do they use, and what is the advantage?
This sign doesn’t say “don’t touch the reins”. That’s very important. I wonder why it doesn’t say that.
The guards all look so young and handsome. Any information on how they are chosen and special training?
Thank you for your time and expertise. 😊
If the guards don’t say something the people will continue to disobey the rules
That beautiful hourse was saying “ come on let me go get some food and rest. “
The excellent commentary makes these videos so good
The idiots are so maddening ty for your service 💂♂️ 🐎 🌟 💖
I have not been watching for a while just returned to see the no touching the horses so happy about time.Great relief for the horses I am over the moon for them.
@LondonCityWalks Don't kid yourself, mate 😊, they were from an exy school. Just to get into the school, it will cost $3200, then fees start at over $25,000 and go up yearly until 10-12, where it will cost you $43,156. His school takes on a lot of international students. We have a youth crime issue in Australia. Some states are worse than others. I don't think British kids are worse in behaviour than ours. Have a good one...
The excellent commentary make these videos so good.
We all love you John...from Tennessee!
Que pasa con este guardia lo peor de los últimos días mira para otro lado
It’s so nice that the horses have room now for the little melt downs. Love the new lines.
The cameraman will signal the violator with his hand to let him out.
