      Я из Молдовы и английский понимаю очень плохо, но я всё-таки смогла прочитать надпись на табличке рядом с гвардейцем, о том, что не надо подходить и трогать, что лошадь может ударить или укусить. Но похоже, что все туристы вообще не умеют читать- все лезут к лошади , хватают за повод, трогают её. И хотя лошади гвардейцев специально обучены всё равно это очень опасно. Ведь от людей пахнет по разному и лошадь может испугаться резкого и неприятного для неё запаха. Какие глупые люди, и какие замечательные лошади. А у гвардейцев вообще сложная служба. Отвечают и за себя и за лошадь. Это очень сложно!

      YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!!
      AT LEAST THAT WAS ONE OF THE RULES WE MUST FOLLOW AT THE MOUNTED POLICE DIVISION WHERE I USED TO WORK AT!! ACTUALLY THE SAME RULES APPLIED FOR ALL THE 11 MOUNTED POLICE DIVISIONS WE HAD AROUND ALL 11 POLICING 🚔 AREAS. BY THAT TIME WE HAD MORE THAN 100 EQUINES AND TRAINED JOCKEY POLICE ENFORCEMENT AGENTS + FEDERAL AGENTS. BASICALLY FROM EVERY SINGLE FEDERAL POLICE UNIT OR AGENCY WE WERE WALKING WITH THEM.
      WE NEVER WANTED PEOPLE TO GET HURT, NONE TO BE SUED NEITHER, SPECIALLY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS BASICALLY 99% AVOIDABLE DURING A NORMAL 🐎 HORSE/HUMAN INTERACTION.
      USING COMMON SENSE, KNOWING THAT AS HORSES THEY WILL BEHAVE FIRST LIKE ANIMALS AND SECONDLY AS TRAINED EQUINES.
      AT THE MOMENT POLICE HORSES ARE MOUNTED THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TO RESET THEIR BEHAVIOR PATTERNS FROM BEEN SPOILED AND PLAYFUL TO WORK AND TAKING DOWN RIOTS + CRIMINALS APPREHENSIONS.
      SO YES, JUST LIKE OUR MINDSETS CHANGE DURING A NERVERECKING SITUATION, THE SAME THING HAPPENS WITH EQUINES AND K-9 OFFICERS. IT IS A 360° DEGREE VISUALLY CHANGE FOR BOTH; THE EQUINES AND HIS/HERS JOCKEY PARTNER.
      SO NEXT TIME IF YOU SEE A FIGHT AND RIOT KNOWING THAT THE MOUNTED POLICE OS AROUND, TRY TO RUN QUICKLY TO THE OPPOSITE SITE OF THE SITUATION.
      THOSE ARE MY
      2 CENTS OVER A SITUATION LIKE THAT BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT, BEEN THERE & DONE THAT...AND AIN'T FUNNY AT ALL.
      GOD BLESS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF Y'ALL!!!
      💪🙏🏻❤
      PLEASE TRY TO BE SAFE AS MORE AS Y'ALL CAN!!🙏🏻

    For those who think the horses are abused: The horses stand for one hour, with those types of bits, and won't be back for another one-hour duty for a week. There is a load of info on the horses on here and the internet. it isn't what you think. The horses have regular bits and bridles just like my horse Bert. These bits are a roller bit and a curved bit I was told by a commenter. Some of the horses play with them you can hear the horses who like to clink them together. One of the horses likes to have his tongue out. These horses weigh in at 1200 pounds. They are Irish Draught. The horses are trained to hear the bells and they know their duty is over for a week or more. They know they will be pampered for the rest of the day, every day. Watch some of the videos on here with the horses and the Guards at the seaside...it's beautiful. You will notice the horses act like children rolling in the sand. My horse, Bert, is nowhere the size of these beasts. Necks as thick as tree trunks. THE GUARDS (sigh) "The Household Cavalry own some of the finest horses in all of England, stabled up at the Hyde Park Barracks in central London. There are 235 glossy blacks, 14 ice-cool greys, and four drum horses that make up the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. Love these videos!

      As someone who lives next door to a bison ranch in WY, home of Yellowstone Pk, I can tell you the stories about idiot tourists are not exaggerated. Having also grown up around them in the Rockies, they can literally turn their bulky bodies on a dime. Something I've always been aware of and choose to respect.
      While on field assignment for the USGS, I was snapping pics of bison grazing in small groups which would be used for a poster. Very, very expensive cam and center of my concern. I had been accompanied by the ranch Mgr and at my signal, he stopped and I jumped out, and started shooting. After five minutes or so stopped to see if I had enough shots and the feeling that my personal space had been invaded overwhelmed me. Turning my head ever so slightly over my right shoulder I saw the hind quarters of a yearling bison. My body followed my head and I found myself face to face with him, staring into a pair of the most breath-taking dark eyes framed by gorgeous lush eyelashes. I froze and he froze. Staring at each other. Finally, I realized I'd left the truck's door open and took a giant leap backward, and then one more back into the truck slamming the door. He trotted right over and kinda forlornly gazed in the window. As we drove off the Mgr finally stopped laughing, saying Damn, a real life bison stare down! I couldn't help thinking, no kidding, at least it wasn't a stomp down.

      What does it take for them to get in??? My little is 7 and has severe ADHD. We have no idea how he will be once he is older. He seems to have a lot of things amiss with him that don't have a diagnosis. We hope, of course, that he will be fine and that he's just a late bloomer due to his rough start in life.
      Anywho...he's born here in the US but he has dual citizenship with the UK, and he will be moving there in June after school is over for this semester. Since I know literally NOTHING about the UK besides some brief history, terminology differences, and respect all around, I know nothing about the qualifications and such to become a King's Guard. What should I be looking at?? What should I teach him?? I know he would have to get his ADHD under control in order to stand still for any length of time.

      INCORRECT - If you're talking about the occurrence at about 15:15 - the horse didn't like to back into the guard house. Another guard tried to help line the horse up to back in. If you'll notice, the horse circled around to the back (so walk straight in - first time at about 14:30) two different times instead of backing in. Perhaps a quirk of this horse. He was never spooked.

      They need to focus and not be interrupted by thousands of people saying great job, they need peace to concentrate and no vocal interruptions from protecting. Same as a security guard at a venue, do you think they would want thousands of people daily chatting to them. Better to just show them respect and stop touching the horses and stand your distance for a picture. Same as people are not going to keep approaching the men with their guns guarding either.

      I think the idiot tourists who support the British economy should go to Disneyland instead. I am sure that most of the tourists are not aware that these are working soldiers. They look ceremonial.if they don't want to attract tourists they should put uniformed soldiers as guards. I heard a British Woman shout out to a tourist who was petting the horse don't touch the horse. The guard shouted back it's my horse not your horse she can touch the horse. The majority of the people in these videos are respectful yet you continually call them idiots. Very disrespectful.

      Well most of them do like the attention, there's a few who don't but the humans don't usually use the moody ones for busy days and don't force a horse public facing if they're not comfy. Horse has usually three chances to quit before they let it quit. The horses absolutely can and do communicate their discomfort and the horsemen involved do pay attention and consider it. The horses shifts aren't all the long either, compared to other mounted police work.
      The horses are alright :)

    I am shocked by the stupidity and laughing when being ordered back by the guard while his horse is having a hissy fit. I have been witness first hand to a close friend, on the receiving end of only a half kick by her stallion. Six operations to sow all her organs back into place and remove the spleen. All the while lapsing in and out of consciousness. She was screaming in agony all the way to the hospital in an ambulance.

      I'm so sorry for your friend. Yep, run-ins with horses can have very serious consequences. Having horses myself, I have many friends who've had incredibly dangerous accidents--at least three had to be airlifted to trauma centers. There was one situation where the horse was airlifted out of a canyon after the rider came off and the horse went down the mountain (thankfully both survived with minor injuries). And these are very experienced horse people who understand horse behavior. Accidents happen in the blink of an eye. The public is massively stupid when it comes to interfacing with strange animals that weigh 1,200 to 1,800 pounds.

    See how the guard on foot, at about 7.20, pulls the mounted guards coat over the horses rump to keep him warm. 10°c the weather was then

    That first black horse is pretty chill and is fine with gentle interaction. While I have seen some real jerks, most of those people are like the rest of the world and are just drawn to the majesty of a horse. It’s overwhelming to stand in the presence of such a beautiful creature and not want to touch it. I owned horses for years and just laying a hand on the neck is wonderful. I think the guard and mostly the horse determines the limit of interaction.

    I equate these horses with service dogs. They're trained for a specific purpose. Once their tack is on and they're in place, they're in work mode. You can get your photo taken next to the horses, but they don't consider you a friend. They tolerating you at best. You don't walk up to a service dog and start petting it. And Unless you're already familiar with the body language of a horse, I suggest not touching them period.

    I believe it is only respectful to ask if you may pet the horse and say thanks to the guard and horse for their service.

    Какие натренированные и гвардейцы и лошади. Но если гвардеец знает, что он в почетном карауле и терпит эту неподвижность, то как наверное мучаются бедные лошади, что им надо вот так неподвижно стоять и терпеть всю эту толпу, всех этих чужих людей, которые её трогают и стоят рядом. Для лошади это очень тяжело и утомительно. Какие они молодцы, что в такой шумной и нервозной обстановке могут контролировать ситуацию !
