      Hello from Spain, it's nothing to do with the bit. The horse is flapping it's lips because something has spooked it, and it's like a self soothing thing it's doing. Unfortunately it's not working because whatever it's worrying about is still causing it problems. It could be a colour it's seen someone wearing, a noise, too many people etc etc. The guard did very well to wait, hoping whatever was causing its unease what was pasted. I just people would give the horse some space when they can plainly see it's having a hard time. Instead of taking pictures and getting way too close to it.

      The guard is trying to get the horse to calm down and has a ton of experiance. He will ask for help when needed.

    As a person who does know about bits I do agree with another person who said the bit is bothering the horse. His third lip is being tickled that is why he is mouthing. Some of you may call it a chin but it is a lip used for feeling when they graze. See him turn his head and try to bite what is bothering him❤️

      Agreed, it looks like bit is sitting crooked as it's closer to his mouth on the horse's right side and kinda hanging out on the left is twisted and going into his mouth. He's double bitted as well (which I HATE because of their severity), and it looks like the snaffle or "bridoon" is shifted to the right, whereas the curb bit is shifted left. He's clearly experiencing mouth discomfort/irritation. Severe tack on horses is one of my biggest triggers in the horse world.

      No look, they put the bridle on wrong, the chin chain (right side) is on top of the bit and left under or behind, that is a mistake they should never make! Someone was slacking! They can break a horses jaw worse case, the bit probably twisted which hurts and that is why he is mouthy, it has nothing to do with tourists, look around 15:40 or so it’s clearly visible. Look how the s shaped double rein doesn’t sit properly or uniformly!

Basically the horse is spooked for whatever reason, and the guard is doing an excellent job trying to maintain control, but at some point (when he hits the button) he knows that the horse is only getting more upset and for safety, has to remove him from the source of agitation or someone will be seriously injured.

Tourists are getting worse, and it may happen that they do not do this anymore. It might be something in front of him that he sees. You do not know.

      Well someone screwed up, they didn’t place the chin strap(chain) correctly it is causing the horse pain. Look at the right side vs the left, one was under and the other is over. It’s causing the bar in the mouth that keeps the bit from being pulled back since they use double reins, most people don’t. It is hurting the top of the horses mouth, you can see it’s all askew! It’s around 15:00 something that you will see. And yes we can clearly see what is bothering him his mouth hurts. You can actually make a horse have a hard mouth by using bits that hurt or in this case incorrectly.

    😢😢Oh my gosh I see what the problem is now, he didn’t or someone didn’t put the bridle on correctly. He should have double checked it’s placement so bad on him if he didn’t put it in. So the bit goes in the mouth, due to second reins which uses an additional bar that hits the top palate is much harder on the mouth but that’s beside the point. They should have put the chin chain over the bit, it keeps the bit/bar in the mouth digging into the top of the mouth or being pulled too far back. So on the right side he placed the chin chain under the bit so every time he pulls it’s painful and causing the bit to be pulled to the left side that is why it’s so far out of the mouth on that side. The chin chain is due to the second set of reins it gives more control put is more painful as well. But due to uniformity they all wear them.
    Whomever put this on didn’t double check to see that the chin chain was on the bit not behind top of it. 15:45 look around this time you can clearly see the chain on top of the right side of the bit and behind the bit crossing to the other side. So think the bit goes in, the the chain is strung or placed so it’s on top of the bit and reattached under the chin. If the chain is not placed properly it could break a horses jaw, or twist the bit, it’s just so that S shaped gold second rein holder doesn’t pull the bar (they use the bar in the mouth for more control) to the back teeth or injure the top palate of the mouth. Now think he placed the chain over the bit on one side and under on the other side so nows against the right side of the mouth so it hurts. Shame on whomever did that, if they have a horse mouthing like that something is wrong, he never looks down just at the tourists. 😢😢. Tell me I am wrong because I see it now! The chain that keep the bar from being pulled back is over the bit on the right side and under on the left side.That is also why the second set of reins are not sitting properly. I hope the person who made this mistake will learn from it. We all make mistakes when learning but that one could have been dangerous to the tourist and harden or injure that horses mouth. No one wants a horse with such a hardened mouth no one can control it. A beginner rider can break a horses jaw if they don’t use them properly. They state in the guards info that most have never ridden prior to their training.

The Guard couldn't see, but the Guard shouldn't have waited as long as he did to press the emergency button.

      The guard probably has to follow a certain procedure before pushing the button. They are very strict in how everything looks.

Inspection of the guard and his mount before going to the booth wasn't done very well.

    It's most definitely the bit. You can see the rein buckle on the right side of the horse's mouth is sitting much closer to his mouth than on the left. It looks like it's twisted and keeps going in his mouth, which is causing him discomfort and most likely significant pain. It's definitely not sitting straight or evenly in his mouth, guaranteed the issue. You can tell by his constant lip movements, throwing his head, and trying to "back away" from the bit. Pawing the ground also is a sign of frustration. The bits they use for these horses aggravates me greatly because they are SO severe, they appear to be double bitted, which is extreme.

      The guard is not allowed to dismount. I agree it was not a timely response by the foot guard, he looked at the horse and obviously didn’t feel that action was necessary or the guard and horse would have been recalled. The mounted guard did his/her best to calm the horse, while taking a beating. I assumed they have cameras in the stables where they can monitor the horses and mounted guards on duty. Be disappointed in the foot guard who finally came out, talked to the rider and looked at the horse. Neither of us know what directives those mounted guards are given. They are not allowed to dismount while out there. They do their best to deal with rude and ignorant tourists who allow their children to pose dangerously close to the horses, they deal with ignorant tourists who mock them and tease their horses, they deal with unexpected noises, hands pawing at their horses and seemingly indifferent responses to their panic button when pushed. You criticize well, could you handle all that they have to put up with?

I saw a foot guard come up, look at the horse and walk away. He could see the bit. Why don’t you criticize the armed police who do nothing to help the mounted guards with either those crowding or teasing the mounted guard and horse. They are too busy standing in a cluster gossiping. I’m sure the mounted guard is more frustrated and concerned about his horse, the crowd and the bumps and bruises he will carry back with him than you sitting behind your phone criticizing.

      There probably is rules against helping the horse or guard. They are there "to put on a show". The guard is probably frustrated because there is probably certain procedures and steps you have to go through before you can ask for help. Just like the other guard walking over and looking at them. He didn't really take a moment to look, and they're not supposed to speak. I also agree about mats being laid down for the horses to stand on.
