Agree I think a new strategy is required to keep the most annoying public from aggregating the public .apart from annoyance to the horse .I think it doesn't protect the guards.🐎🐎🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wow I thought that guard was going to fall off when his horse reared up, well done staying on young man, the horse definitely didn’t want to do his shift today.
I feel bad for those beautiful animals. There is too much stimulus going on around them. And have to be mauled all day by tourists is enough to make any horse go a bit wild. The Palace should be more strict on what the tourists can and can't do.
@deedeegreen8338 I so agree from amateur point of view. The horse wasn't given time to settle ( not a criticism- just fact ) and was adamant about being instantly led through. Very determined and most likely very bothered about something. Smell of something?? Guard would not be pleased at nearly being thrown in heavy uniform. Have seen mum when I was little girl spend ages calming some, but she had time and patience. This horse was due for Guard shift. Very difficult situation all round. Hope they soon sorted him.
@@MichaelKingsfordGraySo if you are a Guard Michael, hats off all round to you. Well done and thank you for your service in protecting the Monarch and caring for your beloved horse. As well as other duties in military that we know you undergo.
The crowd is the problem. Not the handler or the horse. They should build a barrier around the guards and horses to keep the idiot tourists from harassing them or getting hurt.
Looking at the Video I often wonder how many people are Both real horse and rider genuine admirerers Or that the Royal Guards are Actually are Active Soldiers and not Show Pieces understanding o just
The tourists really tick me off. Having grown up around horses, you don’t approach and touch other people’s horses unless invited to do so. You especially, don’t touch their face as they are highly protective of it and may perceive it as a threat.
There are horses that like their face touched and being pet but others not so much hints the head bobbing, tail wagging, stopping, moving back etc. Maybe look up about horses before continuing to be annoying.
I also have grown up around horses, Pretty much all my life. And you're right do not touch Unless you have permission. Even though my horse is very friendly, She loved everybody.😊😊😊❤❤❤
something really nasty has happened to that horse in the sentry box. There was one vid where an amazingly silly woman managed to gouge a horse in the eye with her fingernails and the horse really acted up. Wonder if that 's the same horse. All the best to you!
@@kittyfan idk if that is this one . People had planned to use rape alarms that were given to women for safety going home after the event. It’s been on the American news so surely it’s on Britains and everyone else’s. Who is so mean as to startle a horse and risk that horse breaking its leg or worse causing serious harm to the horse. It should be criminal to attempt planned abuse of animal
@@israelizzyyarrashamiaak766 actually it's the Animal Rights ppl who are that mean.....they state that horses should not be used in the King's Guard, because it's cruel and abusive to the horses.

@@kittyfan all the best to you as well. The animal rights people clearly don’t know much about animals. Horses particularly!!! A broken leg is catastrophic. Idiot fools. These planet warriors waste food and torment animals to prove people are ????? Savages I guess
Not hours, 1 hour. And horses stand for a long time in paddocks. They are so well looked after. Just look at their shining coat. The public are sure the ones that scare the horses. Public should have a longer barrier and no photos.
Those soldiers are very well trained. I would have fallen right on my head or something. Well Done!! I am sure the horses have their bad days as well and people do.
Wow wonderful control from this awesome guard. When something spooks a horse it’s the fact the horse can’t make out what is seen by them. They react in a flight path. Flags, umbrellas, hats, I’m not sure about colors but some hollering loud noises will spook a horse if they can’t identify that sound. I trained trail riding horses and there are certain tree shapes that will spook a horse. If they can’t identify it they might get spooked. Horses don’t see right in front of them . But a more side view. They can be confused with busy patterns also. Horses are the most exquisite animals created.
No, he thought he saw psycho Harry who from what I understand likes to abuse horses. He abused a pregnant horse until she died. Maybe if the man-baby had a job for once in his pathetic life he would be too tired to go psycho on the poor horses.
A great idea. Hope they do that. Something needs to be done. The horses are sick of everybody touching them all the time. Also it would be safer as well. 👍
This is what happens when a horse is constantly harassed by people who torment it by pretending there is a treat in their hands, poking, slapping and constantly stroking. I wonder if the horse got a whiff of the annoying Karen?
I definitely don’t blame the horse to refuse to go into the sentry. The mere sight of the idiots waiting to take picture with him and invading his space is enough to scare any sensible horse.
Without downplaying the role of the police, I too must of blinked and not seen how a potentially dangerous situation was defused. Great to see the Guard's horsemanship. Well done!!

They don't need to do anything. That's the Army's job. The police are there to protect that passageway from terrorist threats. Seeing as Horseguards is a Barracks, the horses are the responsibility of the army
A horse rearing is so dangerous for the rider. The horse could fall backward and crush him. Poor horse is saying, "Don't make me face that mob of grabby zombies today!"
Vrry unusual day. One belligerent horse. The guard inthe long tunnel who had just posted was swaying, then buckling at the knees and barely made it to the most inconspicuous archway out of sight leaving his post unprotected. I believe they are instructed to do that rather than faint face girt onto the oavement in front of a crowd. Then the replacement horse filling the same arch that the rebellions steed was to guard also began to act up. Seems like there may be an illness going around with the guards.❤❤❤❤❤
The people are the problem not the horse. Every day people annoy or touch them deliberately for a reaction. This could all stop because of this so just leave guards and horses alone because this is the result and they are there to guard the Monarch 🏴🥃
That man handling the horse on the ground was not police, the police were obvious. The handler was another Guard in his working uniform, and he saved the day, as well as the Guard astride. My brother is USMC Colonel. He has many uniforms. Some are beautiful. I once put on his jacket he wore in combat, he has worked at the Pentagon for some time now, and I couldn't even barely walk, it was so heavy with protective elements. I don't know how they do it. God save all Marines, Soldiers, and Sailors. These men and women at the Horseguards have been there, done that.
He has had enough of all those crazy tourists would you blame him, my heart goes out to him, maybe he's having a bad time we all have them, please be kind to him! Crazy tourists l don't blame any of the horses for not wanting to go out there!
I have serious boot envy! Also, I don't believe the general public understands just how unnerving it is to horses to constantly have to stand still in place while many strangers come up, try to touch, get too close and take pictures with all their strange smells (yes, people smell) right in front of the horses. People should be more aware, I'm surprized there aren't more serious incidents with the volume of people there.
Horses have off days too. Sometimes this is how they show it. The horse could of course had a bad experience from the public or it is a new horse to this experience. If it has a break from duties it will probably be back on form again.
The guard handled his horse very well. But it must be so boring for the poor horse, standing there and people touching it all the time. They should really have signs up saying no touching of horses. And if the people still do touch then fine them or a ticket.
IMO, I don't think these horses are cared for properly and obviously don't enjoy what they are doing. Even a fast food worker/cashier has a mat to stand on. Why on earth should these horses be forced to stand on brick/concrete for extended periods of time? WHY can't they have stall matts there to stand on? I know there are "special shoes" for riding on hard surfaces, but these horses are standing in one place. Even a dog gets arthritis from living on concrete. I can imagine that when these horses are "retired," they have arthritis. ARE they actually sent to pasture with arthritis and their (deservedly) developed nasty attitudes for the rest of their lives? I have an opinion about that, too.
When I was young, I used to work with problem horses. The most dangerous thing I ever had were the ones that rear up. If they go over backwards, it can kill you. This guy was a real pro. He stayed calm and didn’t get off. You can’t, or they know that will work, if it is a problem horse. But my guess is that this horse would not be there if he had a habit like this. Much to dangerous.
@@Christianne-md2nd Yikes! I just read it myself. I cleaned it up. Thanks for the tip off. I swear this thing puts in words that never even crossed my mind. I need to remember to proof read!!! Hopefully it makes sense now.
I’m not sure how the misunderstanding happened but I meant what I said, sincerely. Now I’ve put it together. I always proof read! I’m fanatical about it. 👍😊
@@Christianne-md2nd Oh well, good. The key take away is don’t get off if you can avoid it. Most horses will NOT go over backwards on themselves all by themselves!!!! That happens when the rider pulls back on the reins and effectively pulls the horse over backwards themself!!! Very sad and dangerous business! Never pull back on the reins when a horse is rearing up. You must allow their head the freedom to get in position to come back down. Gravity………. Up and over is almost always the fault of the rider.
@@cababyboomerq6012 I grew up with horses on a somewhat casual level and I thought it was common sense to lean over the horse and loosen the rains. You don’t want to increase the backwards momentum, right!?! I’ve enjoyed this conversation.
It's ridiculous that these poor horses are made to stand for long periods of time in confined spaces and abused by spectators for show purposes. It should be illegal!
It's torture to stand still for the guards, even more so for the horses... if the animal isn't really willing to collaborate with the human, keeping it so close to the mouth has the opposite effect, you have to give space, but the guard changing times don't allow you to have the right time for the poor horse... but does anyone know how long the guard shifts last?
The Horse was wise, fed up with being treated badly by the wrongness out there. Give the horse extra treats. Horses senses are always right. They know the intentions of others are not good for them at times. The new horse also not happy with things, what's been put there or who is causing this. Inam differently on the both horses side, they are the truth of what ever triggering them.
I would hate to have to see these guards run in those uniforms. Judging from the look of the helmets and boots, they probably wouldn't make it very far if there was a zombie apocalypse! 😂
I think the horse just did not want to work today and he made it clear. He just couldn’t handle the noise and all those crazy people everybody needs a day off.
That fur baby wasn’t having any guard duty today, I call in from work from time to time myself, so I’m not judging The Guardsman was spectacular in handling the situation, WELL DONE!!!
Genuine question, would it be too difficult to sheath the sword and use two hands to control the horse, or would attempting it be at the risk of losing control?
I do not blame these horses for being upset, considering the constant pawing etc. that they have to endure day after day. I would like to see a fence of some sort to separate these gorgeous horses from the idiots.
Are there certain scents that horses absolutely hate to be near? Is it possible there is someone in that crowd is wearing something "offensive" to the animal ?
And these foolish tourist, have the audacity, to joke around and sometimes mock these soldiers…I’m from the USA, we honor all military and thank you Kings Guards, for your service , you are one of our great ALLIES

Horses have off days too. Sometimes this is how they show it. The horse could of course had a bad experience from the public or it is a new horse to this experience. If it has a break from duties it will probably be back on form again.
The horse refused to come to work, and needed a day off from aggravating tourists. 😂❤
I’m glad the rider wasn’t thrown, but it almost happened.
Where's the police handling a dangerous situation then?
What would you have the police do??
@@romascott6567 What?
Exactly bro I don’t see anything crazy
Right! The British soldier handled the dangerous situation. Next time The King’s Guards fact check.
Well something really spooked" that horse.
The police handled it well, but so did the mounted trooper. Cheers to him or her.
That horse said “Oh Hail no! I QUIT!”
👍👍 TOP NOTCH!
That horse is saying nope had enough of the crazies today....nope...no way....nope❤😂
I am done peopling today😂
Legend has it that the horse was grounded and sent to his room with no supper 🤣🇬🇧
Yikes, barn sour!!!! And man that is dangerous. And that guy never moved his sword, what a pro!!!!!
" No nonsense today! Let's run in the park!"
Lost his stirrup: too risky all round.
I think the soldier handled a very dangerous situation
The horse was trying to tell them he wasn’t in the mood to stand there for hours today.
The guard handled his horse very well. But it must be so boring for the poor horse, standing there and people touching it all the time. They should really have signs up saying no touching of horses. And if the people still do touch then fine them or a ticket.
The horse: 😧I don't want to see Sandra! 😳Is she here? 🥺She scares me.. 😢To much stress 😩PLEASE , I'M NOT HORSE-ING AROUND - - - "NO"
IMO, I don't think these horses are cared for properly and obviously don't enjoy what they are doing. Even a fast food worker/cashier has a mat to stand on. Why on earth should these horses be forced to stand on brick/concrete for extended periods of time? WHY can't they have stall matts there to stand on? I know there are "special shoes" for riding on hard surfaces, but these horses are standing in one place. Even a dog gets arthritis from living on concrete. I can imagine that when these horses are "retired," they have arthritis. ARE they actually sent to pasture with arthritis and their (deservedly) developed nasty attitudes for the rest of their lives? I have an opinion about that, too.
Those poor horses, they must get sick of people touching them all the time.
Tourists trying to walk through the box don’t see the horse poop!!
Did I miss something I didn't see the police involved in that. Well done to the guardsman,that could have ended quite nastily.
When I was young, I used to work with problem horses. The most dangerous thing I ever had were the ones that rear up. If they go over backwards, it can kill you. This guy was a real pro. He stayed calm and didn’t get off. You can’t, or they know that will work, if it is a problem horse. But my guess is that this horse would not be there if he had a habit like this. Much to dangerous.
That was articulate and very well said. Thanks for the experienced insight!
@@Christianne-md2nd Yikes! I just read it myself. I cleaned it up. Thanks for the tip off. I swear this thing puts in words that never even crossed my mind. I need to remember to proof read!!! Hopefully it makes sense now.
I’m not sure how the misunderstanding happened but I meant what I said, sincerely.
Now I’ve put it together. I always proof read! I’m fanatical about it. 👍😊
@@Christianne-md2nd Oh well, good. The key take away is don’t get off if you can avoid it. Most horses will NOT go over backwards on themselves all by themselves!!!! That happens when the rider pulls back on the reins and effectively pulls the horse over backwards themself!!! Very sad and dangerous business! Never pull back on the reins when a horse is rearing up. You must allow their head the freedom to get in position to come back down. Gravity………. Up and over is almost always the fault of the rider.
@@cababyboomerq6012 I grew up with horses on a somewhat casual level and I thought it was common sense to lean over the horse and loosen the rains. You don’t want to increase the backwards momentum, right!?! I’ve enjoyed this conversation.
It's ridiculous that these poor horses are made to stand for long periods of time in confined spaces and abused by spectators for show purposes. It should be illegal!
100% agree.
Even horses know when enough is enough.
It's torture to stand still for the guards, even more so for the horses... if the animal isn't really willing to collaborate with the human, keeping it so close to the mouth has the opposite effect, you have to give space, but the guard changing times don't allow you to have the right time for the poor horse... but does anyone know how long the guard shifts last?
The Horse was wise, fed up with being treated badly by the wrongness out there. Give the horse extra treats. Horses senses are always right. They know the intentions of others are not good for them at times.
The new
horse also not happy with things, what's been put there or who is causing this. Inam differently on the both horses side, they are the truth of what ever triggering them.
How do they handle the horse when they take it away
That's how I go to work everyday 😂
Finally!!!! Now maybe people will get the hint to leave the horse's alone! Good job you beautiful animal,thank God that the guard is alright!
The public touching and petting has got to stop! The horses I’m sure are not happy with the constant petting !!!
And that was the horse saying “I’m actually in charge!”
That horse in the beginning of the video was just like - "Not today!! No way!!" It's great that they didn't force the horse to stay!
Horse is saying “ Oh no, not getting me back in there”
Whoa, scary, good job horseman
I would hate to have to see these guards run in those uniforms. Judging from the look of the helmets and boots, they probably wouldn't make it very far if there was a zombie apocalypse! 😂
They are perfectly equipped for that with their sabers.
Exactly my thoughts
As I'm not from England love watching all these videos thank you. What are all those buildings surrounding the place ?
I think this is the horse guards' barracks, so it is where the soldiers are based and where the horse stables are.
Horse sense is better than people sense. Lmao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 BTW was it a Monday?😊😊😊😊😊❤
stay safe take it easy xoxox
If a horse says, nah, not working today. Then it's game over. They get a day off. :D
I think the horse just did not want to work today and he made it clear. He just couldn’t handle the noise and all those crazy people everybody needs a day off.
That fur baby wasn’t having any guard duty today, I call in from work from time to time myself, so I’m not judging
The Guardsman was spectacular in handling the situation, WELL DONE!!!
Genuine question, would it be too difficult to sheath the sword and use two hands to control the horse, or would attempting it be at the risk of losing control?
I do not blame these horses for being upset, considering the constant pawing etc. that they have to endure day after day. I would like to see a fence of some sort to separate these gorgeous horses from the idiots.
Are there certain scents that horses absolutely hate to be near? Is it possible there is someone in that crowd is wearing something "offensive" to the animal ?
That horse was saying, 'nah, I don't feel like peopling today'!
So scared, like me sometimes❤
And these foolish tourist, have the audacity, to joke around and sometimes mock these soldiers…I’m from the USA, we honor all military and thank you Kings Guards, for your service , you are one of our great ALLIES
I’ve watched enough of these videos, enough with the horses, it’s obviously cruel to the horses as they don’t want to do it. Just stop it.
Poor horse. Has had enough of tourists
The Guard was amazingly efficient. This will happen more and more if the crowds are not held back.
Poor horse and Guard. Post coronation adrenalin nerves.
