Bravo! That was a nasty fall but he got up, gathered his things and marched on. A true soldier ❤
Love it
Especially since it looked like he landed on his face.
Well done brave soldier,I’m sure that hurt and you proudly marched on like the trooper you are..💂🇬🇧
Horsey acted like he was going to rear but bucked instead.
Poor trooper hit the ground hard, but he jumped up, composed himself, and continued to march alongside his mates.
Bit of a cheeky mule. There were a few that seemed a bit anxious though.
True professional. Glad he's on our side.
The poor trooper I felt so sorry for him. I hope he is OK. I never tire of seeing the Household Cavalry . I am so proud that we have this wonderful pagentry. Thankyou for sharing this video with us. Thankyou to the Troopers and the Horses for their service to our country.
Bloody hell that hurt even I felt that
Congratulations to that trooper. Thrown from horse gets up and then marches onward.
💯👌👏👍
Hahah congratulations, doofus!
Congratulations to that trooper.OKEY.
Trooper was an asshole
Pourquoi …… idiot ? Parce que ça fait viril ……… la compassion est plus profonde , peut être votre parle veut paraître mâle ??? Pour moi , c’est son ressenti que j’éprouve , et chapeau à lui , il s’est relevé dignement et courage . 🇫🇷
More respect for these fine soldiers.
Absolutely Brilliant video What a magnificent sight! Thank you for sharing this with us, I loved it.
Ouch! That had to hurt. Hope both the Trooper and Horse are OK.
Le cheval n a rien du tout je m inquiète pour le garde il est tombé sur l épaule ça doit lui faire mal ...
Awesome job, he got up, fixed his sword, and marched onward.
Praying he is ok
Awesome job, of the other Trooper, helping his horse to clam down, while passing by the street signal.
Very up most respect to All you Awesome Sholiders, and Great Majestic Horse's
God Bless.
From here in Martin, Tn. USA
😊❤🐴💂♀️💂🌟🙋♀️🇱🇷
Another Fantastic Vedio
That was one clever move by the horse. The guard landed on his face . A great recovery by the guard. Cheers .
Beautiful! Hope the young soldier is ok. Watching from Louisiana
😮😮😮😮Oh my goodness. I hope that the soldier are OK. Because that was a very bad fall. But I take off my hat for the soldier. You are a champ
That was a nasty fall. Brave soldier to get up and continue. Well done Sir
All respect for this soldier. The fall from his horse must have hurt a lot, but he straightened his uniform and marched alongside his comrades. Hats off, these troopers are tough ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Surely there is no finer sight, in all the World, as this one..magnificent!
How was he still walking. I fell off my horse when it spooked in trot. I went one way and he the other and I landed on soil. I was winded so I bet he will be sore later but a trooper being a trooper, bravo for getting up and carrying on
To be in the royal horses guard, they go through very intense training. Falling off a horse is part of their training. But nothing prepares you for falling on a paved road.
Even the most trained horse can have a meltdown glad to see the soldier is ok so proud of them all
The police horses seem far more well trained.
@@Tellemore The police horses aren't 1/2 Thoroughbred. If they were, they'd be getting bounced all over the streets as well.
@@militarized_monk755neither are the Household Cavalry horses. They are mainly Irish Draught horses with some crosses( which are rarely thoroughbred )
@@militarized_monk755the police have lots of different breeds, I sold them a Hanoverian x TB some years ago
The difference is, the mounted police stay in that job for longer, whereas the Household Cavalry take complete novices, give them a few months training and transfer them into the Operational unit after two years
Phew! Hope someone had a cup of strong sweet tea ready for him!
Perhaps something a bit stronger!?! 🍺
Poopoo in a loo! Brolly wolly woo! Bloddy Bobbo Roo?
They are soldiers not snowflakes. Fall off- get back on. No different to rugby players.
Better something stronger than tea
Ouch. He seemed to land on his head. What a trooper to get up and carry on.
Ouch! I felt that. Great soldier.
Yep have a lot of admiration for that young man, he hit the tarmac hard.
Well he could be in terrible pain and not even show it cuz that's how they're trained
Oooooo ouch, I cringed, I bet that hurt but he got up and marched on. Fair play to him ❤
Now that's what you call discipline!
Exactly.
Safety should came before discipline
@@heatherives8646 If you want safety don't join the Armed Forces.
@@stewartbristow846 not likely too but all the arms forces do a brilliant job to keep as all safe
i watched this 12 times that horse did that on purpose! He timed that perfectly and literally said (GET OFF ME)!!!!!! glad the soldier was not hurt real bad
That horse went straight to the glue factory after this!
I doubt either that it's the first time that horse has bucked someone off. You don't really stand a chance on those saddles, it's like sitting on a nutshell 😂 I prefer to use a western saddle 😊
God forbid!!! It's not the horse's fault. Whoever trained him should have payed attention to his temperament. If the horse passed all of his training and made it to the guard. There also a lot of reasons a horse rears or in this instance bucks the rider off and none of them are the horse's fault. Bit pinching the inside of his mouth because the rider is pulling the reins too tight. Ill fitting saddle. I didn't notice if they were wearing spurs. Some rider's dig their spurs too hard into the poor horse's sides. The camera would have had to focus specifically on that horse and rider to be able to offer an intelligent argument as to the why. Etc etc etc @@solmoman
@@grasshopper1451 I thought spurs were banned as cruel and open to abuse, years ago. It was said that a horse is capable of responding to pressure of rider's legs, or eventually even vocal command. As also with bits, all the horses are tossing their heads in this vid continually, and with one of them it just got too much to bear, poor thing. I do hope it gets rewarded for all its previous service and not punished for one apparent 'misdemeanour'.
Of cause the horse did that on purpose. It's not the horses fault that humans use horses for our own entertainment.
Ouch!
Kudos to him for a quick recovery. No doubt appreciated by the officer accompanying that section.
But what happened to the horse.
Did someone catch it from the support team?👍🇬🇧
I bet he's a lot sorer than he let on, well done the way he composed himself.
Whoa!!!! that was quick. good soldier got right up and proudly marched with the cavalry. here’s to you trooper 💂🏻♀️🐎
what happened to the horse? was someone there to grab him/her? 🐎🐎🐎🐎🌷🌱
Oh my poor trooper Pray he is ok. Got to give him praise for getting u and marching on.
He is very lucky he was able to get up . I am sure is very sore .
bravo he is a soldier he faced harder. straight back up and back to work. God save the king
Well done to that trooper for styling it out, hope he's okay
Fair play for the lad, one hell of a a tumble, but no faffing about, up & go & full marks for marching after his horse too.
One for his family album that. 👍
What an absolute star. Well done that man.
Eeeesh, that poor soldier, looked like he landed on his head, hope he was ok. True soldier though, got up, brushed himself off and marched on. Total respect to him and all our troops 🇬🇧
That soldier is like a rugby player, get dumped, get up and keep going. ❤
Brave trooper! hopefully there were no consequences for him, it was a nasty fall.
I wish I was young and could travel because there is no where else like this in the world! ❤
Well done, really stoic…but l don’t believe he’s escaped entirely unscathed.🫠🤞🐎💂♂️
they must be trained how to take a fall. like stunt men, just incase. what a trooper. marched on. 'tis but a scratch' attitude, well done.
Oh My What a shock !!
Thankfully he is okay.
God Jesus Christ bless the soldier.
Amen✝️
Trooper is a tough guy, no cry babies in that outfit.
A lot of bouncy horses there. Maybe had too many oats. Lovely horses and brave lad
Of course. You can diagnose behaviour from your armchair. The actually know a great deal more than you ever will about horses. They have been doing this for 365 years . They have the best advice and experience available to them from the Army Vetinary Corps, the Equine Studies unit and staff with 20- 25 years of daily experience of dealing with 250 horses kept to such high standards
@paulgraham3012 were you talking to me? I wasn't diagnosing anything and certainly wasn't in an armchair. Generations of my family served with these guards so politely don't assume. My comment was jocular. There WERE many bouncy horses there. Do you work with them too? Love from Gloucestershire horse country here x
Holding an unsheathed saber close to your carotid artery makes a fall from a horse even more dangerous 😊
Right, and the helmets are only for show too 😢
American here. I’ve wondered if the shoes on the horses is changed for the asphalt street? I thought it looked like the horse slipped a little.
I've noticed a few horses tend to slither. Seen them tumble too as the legs slide from under them, which is horrid. I wonder if they could use studs or something newer fangled to stop them feeling insecure on the roads.
WHAT A TROOPER....it could have so ended very differently.
That looked painful. Landing on his neck like that, he was very lucky not to have broken it.
The horses all seem so flighty these days!
Im sure back at the barracks the soldiers are having a good laugh.
I’m not sure of the reason but there has been a lot of head tossing and pulling on the bits by numerous guard horses lately. . It can’t be blamed entirely on poor horsemanship so my guess is either a rush to complete the horses training or the bridles that so many show discomfort or dislike for. After riding and raising horses for the past 40 yrs I’m aware that every single horse has its own unique personality and quirks and accident and falls happen even to the best riders. It could be my imagination but the horses as a group seemed to be more relaxed during Queen Elizabeth’s funeral than they do now.
Under most circumstances you find a bit that works well for the horse. Some do great bitless, some go great in a basic snaffle, some need something a bit harsher. They uniformly use the same harsh bits on all horses and keep contact on the reins so it’s putting pressure in their mouths. Easily explains the head tossing. It doesn’t look like excitement for the work.
Entirellt agree with you
My concern is the rider ok, did he receive medical care
As any rider can tell you "If you ain't been throwed, you never rode." Nice classy recovery.
Bless him that would have hurt landing like that on the road. Shows how brave these lads are. Having come off my own bombproof mare on a road because some idiot let go of their dog’s lead and she was under attack, I know just how hard that landing is. A bit like the soldier I got up and even though an ambulance had been called, adrenaline kicked in because my horse had bolted down the road for home and I was concerned for her safety. But boy did I feel it later. So I hope this young man wasn’t too sore the next day and he forgives his mount because they rarely show this behaviour without reason. ❤
He could run but didn't want to spook the horses....well done lad
Give that lad a pint.
Er no?😲 Not until he catches up with his horse!🤔 Amazing to be so relaxed over losing your horse🤯. (just sort out me hat, and sword and... figure which way they all went?) 🐎
We were always taught, to stay on, obviously, but failing that, don't let go of your horse! Eesh, in London too! Hopefully, once relieved of his rider the horse was happy to follow his chums? We don't want any more loose and horridly injured horses. A pint indeed, you are too kind!🤭
So much head-tossing ... poor guy who fell must've been shaken up, but had to carry on, albeit on foot. How humiliating for him. The police horses always seem calmer ? Thanks for uploading.
hope that both off them are all.right that trooper took one very bad fall he just got up as nothing had happened good luck to him he will always remember the time he came off his horse 🐎
Maybe the police horses are exercised more.....
From a viewpoint of a former U.S. soldier, they should have stopped briefly, Never leave a comrade behind. Curious demonstration.
I agree with you...👍
There is always a back up crew following and if the horse has bolted and not been stopped that trooper would have a long walk.
I often worked night shifts and would see the Horse Guards exercising in Hyde Park, there was always an army ambulance and horse box in attendance. Just in case of accidents.
The cavalry knows what to, stopping could have spooked more horses. Never break the momentum at walk, trot, canter or gallop
The police horses seem more passive to me .
Different breeding ,different training, diet ,and use. Most Police horses are older than you would guess.
Doubt I’d walk away from that, let alone march.
I have been saying for some time that these horses are unhappy and very jittery and seem to be so much closer to each other when on parade than they were some years ago. I can see a time in the future when people are going to be seriously injured if the problem isn't rectified.
Yet another FB horse expert?
Qualified at the FB equine University?
I was involved in these parades for 16 years many years ago and there was no difference. You are only aware because of social media and human memory failings.
Far more traffic and totally inconsiderate public . No- one offering to help as we got 40 years ago
@paulgraham3012 I am not an expert in anything, but I have been watching these parades and events for many years, and I have never seen so many unruly and jittery horses and certainly not seen them eject their riders at the slightest noise or movement in the crowd. Imagine what would happen during a wartime battle if the horses were not trained to ignore the noise and mayhem that is taking place around them and not trusting their riders. They are definitely not trained to the standard that is required of cavalry stock.
@@paulgraham3012 So there is a difference.
@@paulgraham3012actually there’s a huge difference because soldiers that joined the Ceremonial Division many years ago, used to remain in that division for much longer, so they gained more experience
The Troopers now only do two years with the horses before transferring to Wiltshire
So dramatic to see so many beautiful horses and riders.
Goodness a lot of those horses were very jittery.
Bravo.continue with pride. 👏👍
Ouch!!! 😯 Hope that didn't do too much damage. Will definitely feel it later! Pleased to see the horse van, as well.
Jeez Louise that poor trooper he went down with a right clatter, hope he’s ok bless him, he just got up was asked if he was ok by his superior and marched off, I hate to see them come off, hope his horse was ok to.x
What does it mean when a horse makes his head go up and down so fiercely? Can any horse owner tell me?
They are unhappy for some reason
Bless his heart. That was a nasty fall!! I hope he doesn’t have a concussion!! So sorry Sir!! I hope you are alright!! For as bad as that was, you jumped up and gathered yourself like the professional you are!! You are an example for soldiers everywhere!! ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️
Poor young man. I hope he is alright and hasn't suffered any serious injuries to his neck and back. ❤
I've visited London, I thought it was great, it reminded me of Boston Massachusetts. The only issue I ran into was we couldn't understand each other's English. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Hello from Spain, i thought that for a moment, he had fallen on his neck, i think the horse decided 'no, not today' get off'. Well done for the young man picking his things up and rearranging himself before marching forward. But unfortunately, these things happen, x
Totally professional even though he must have been in pain. Well done that young man
Wow, True Soldier, Hope He’s Ok 👌👍👏👏👏👏
Hard to believe the amount of head-tossing by these horses. They are unhappy, frustrated, and tense. I’ve been riding my whole life and have always enjoyed watching the King’s mounted regiments, but it seems there are some underlying issues that need to be addressed. I realize tradition is very important, but it’s time to reevaluate how much junk these horses and riders have to wear. Lose the double bridles. Take a look at the DPRK’s (of all countries!) mounted regiments in the big parades they have: The horses have the bare minimum tack, the riders wear simple, straightforward uniforms. The horses have plenty of personal space: at least 4 feet to either side and 8 feet or more front to back. The horses are happy, quiet and all at the same gait.
I think too much grain and not enough exercise, but that's just me
Thank goodness you said this. I've watched a few of these vids, and couldn't agree more. Time for updating UK ceremonial procedures involving horses, these traditions so outworn and old. Animal welfare so important these days. Sometimes footage is just downright disturbing, like those horses who threw their riders and ran for their lives through the streets of London just a few weeks ago. And we never really found out how they were afterwards. Who is going to make the changes - Charles? Time to lobby the King I reckon.
@barbarathomas2561 there are weekly updates, at least on my feeds. The horses are getting better as are the soldiers who were hurt. The minimumally injured soldiers are back at work
Yea I don't think we will be changing uniforms that have existed since the 1800s
@@margarethuybers2618 that soldier was lucky he didn't actually break his neck with the way he fell.
Again this is getting to be a regular occurrence
The trooper hit the ground hard but got straight up gathered his things and marched along as if nothing happened , I bet every step was painful but there was no way he was going to show it. Well done
Hope the military guy, is ok and not to hurt to bad, why did the horse buck him off.
Approx 4.54 is where the horse totally just bucked him off...!! Nice to see the COH ask if the rider was ok... falling on hard concrete that's gonna hurt..x Didn't see where the horse ended up though....hope the soldier was able to remount x
stay safe take it easy xoxoxo
Ooh must have hurt landing on the road but brave soldier. These horses are fit and well and ready for action must be great riding to control their energy
There was a loose horse at the beginning as well.
The sudden way the Guard's horse jumped and bucked makes me wonder if it was stung or bitten?
Where is his horse???? I hope that he didn't run off😮😮😮😮
Thats was a bad fall, bent his neck, I hope he is ok and has a medical 🙏🏽
Wow the trooper almost « softened « the fall like a judoka ! Well done … hope the dorsal vertebrae are ok though !
The sound of horses...can be' heard till the kitchen...!@!🐎🐎🐎
Some horses are just plain ornery. That was a nasty fall. I admire his tenacity to pick himself up, fix the helmet and carry on with his march. Awesome! 👏 👍👍
That will be a bollocking and beers all round in the mess.
That was some buck
All the horses seemed a bit antsy😮
Hes going to feel that in the morning... He'll probably get out of bed and get to work anyway..... Thats how it is in the household....
Brave lad, well done
The same barracks near where the IRA blew up the blues and royals killing 7 of their horses.
Incredible Video, Thank You 👌👍
Magnificent.
4:55 ouch
Goodness didn't know they had so many horses and guards
And the horse...where is ???
I wonder what spooked the horse? But well done that soldier!
