It’s not “common sense”. Common sense is sound and prudent judgment based on experience and understanding of the facts. It’s also influenced by culture. Many people know nothing at all about horses, bridles, reins, or any tack, except what they might have seen on TV or on the movies. You’re not the first to say it’s “like grabbing the steering wheel when someone is driving a car”, but in fact it’s nothing of the sort and that’s a very bad analogy.

Apart from tossing their heads around, the horses are usually stationary too.
@@Bandomeme My comment is my own personal opinion, just as you have yours, and I respect that they are your own thoughts, your opinion. If one doesn't understand something or how it works, they should stay clear of it, and certainly not grab at it. The reins on a horse aren't there just to look good, they are the means to direct these horses, same as having a dog on a leash. Would you just run up and grab the dogs leash? That's a good way to end up with a nasty bite! The horses don't stay "stationary" when someone pulls or yanks on their reins. They at times react even before the guard does. It's not factual that "anyone" knows not to grab the steering wheel when someone else is driving, as is evident by the fact that there have been many accidents over the years because of someone doing just that. What it all boils down to is, don't touch the reins ever, for any reason! It's so simple really.
@@Kimberly-dn4mc you’re missing the point completely. It’s only simple if you are familiar with horses and know what bits of tack do what, as you obviously are and do.

These are big strong horses. Parents who push their kids to stand near the horse are being neglectful. The horse can be spooked and rear up and the kid/kids can get hurt.
We had neighbors who raised Arabians In training one a horse trotting in circles lead with rains, kicked up back leg, caught a child , in its chin, split it cliff palette. It was a life time injury & terrible at the time. Teach your children not to be behind any horse if possible.
I don't think this guy was offensive, he looked baffled - he clearly didn't speak English and was just copying what he saw other people doing. He wasn't trying to be difficult like some are. They just need to blanket ban touching the horse and then no one's going to get it wrong by accident. Those that then do can get the good yelling at they deserve
All those people and nobody bothers to thank the guards. The guards are doing a job, they are not there for photo props. I loved the little boys at the end. They kept a safe distance. I bet their parents are proud of them.
That was the most dangerous one I've seen so far. He not only grabbed the reins, but it looked like he was trying to lead the horse out of the box as well. That was blatant AF
Had the very great pleasure in seeing the horse stand on the foot of some over familiar idiot a few years ago. I think the trooper and his mount enjoyed it as much as I did.
Interesting the way they all pose and they have to have their hand on the horse. They have a no touching policy at Disneyland and this isn't Disneyland. These are military horses and military soldiers. They should have a no touching policy. Not that some of these people would listen.
They would no more grab the lead of a stranger's dog, why would they do that to an animal much bigger than they are? Not only that even feeling the pull he didn't let go till the guard charged him. What an idiot.....who did he think he was? Some big man in front of his 'mates'.
Something i've noticed in these videos. Not one of the tourists thanks the Guard for allowing them to have a photo taken with him and his mount. It's clear that all these people think these Soldiers are paid actors like they'd find at Disneyland.
Actually they often do try to thank the guard but s/he is seated high up and frequently looking the other way, so the opportunity is lost. I’m perfectly sure the tourists here do NOT think the guards are paid actors just because they’re allowed to take photos next to them and pat the horse. They’re allowed to take photos next to policemen in uniform too, and next to Pearly Kings and Queens, none of whom are paid actors either. The difference lies in the fact that sightseers cannot talk to the guards or establish any kind of relationship with them. In fact, not talking to the guards is a form of respect as it’s well known they are on duty and shouldn’t be distracted.
That guy knew exactly what he was doing, the rules are simple and clear to anyone, all know that the reins are for guiding the horse and him grabbing them was no mistake . He had a smirk on his face when walking back and the guy with them spoke english and said reins so he knew. The Police need to start fining or arresting anyone now who grabs the reins chain or bridle area. The sooner that happens the sooner the word gets out and less will try it. Mind you there will always be the ENTITLED who will try because as we know rules don't apply to them. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖💖💖
It takes 1 person to break the rules-everybody will follow! The Guardsmen was too kind. To grab the reins of his horse indicates- “a power play” they guy is lucky not to have been touched by his saber! Great job Guardsmen 🇬🇧
~ I'm a proud warhorse damn you! Stop treating me like your Christmas puppy. (I don't bite the little tourists. They're mostly bones anyway. Anybody near my head height is fair game if I'm in the mood.) ~
No one has the manners to say Thanks or Thank You to the Guard riding the horse.....Amazing tolerance by the horse I think. Dont know anything regards horses but.... Laurie NZ
I don't understand why they have to touch the horse let alone grab the reigns if that horse gets spooked it won't only hurt himself and the guard but also the public. Please show some respect for the horse and guard they are working after all. Respect to the guard and horse you do an amazing job.
Horse Guards originally formed the entrance to the Palace of Whitehall and later St James's Palace; for that reason it is still ceremonially defended by the King's Life Guard.
Petition. Should the 2 on-duty mounted horse guards be issued with truncheons for use against any who touch their person or mount (especially the reins)? Their patience and discipline is inspirational.
Very patient Royal Guards, lovely horses. Tourists are annoying. The horse must be exhausted after being touched, tugged at, etc. Plus all the smells and noise.
I kust love these beautiful soldiers and the horses so majestic, i wish I could be there to show my respect which they deserve so much for what they do, God Bless them 🙏🏼❤❤☺️
I want to know how the Guards walk in those boots. They look really uncomfortable. Props to our King's Guards for the great job they and their horses do.
7:49 is the massive shout and charge! Much RESPECT to that King's Guard, however I think this man has no idea what he did, until someone came out and explained it to his group. Then again, grown folks should not feel the need to touch anything!
Thanks for posting the time of the event. People really need to learn how to edit videos no need to post a 10 minute video when what you’re wanting to show is in the last 2 minutes.
Why not rope off the area with lazer light beams about 4 feet high going from one pole to another and put up sign do not cross beam. This way the horses can move out without disturbing anything. People can still cross in front of horses without being able to touch them. By the way, all of you Guards do an amazing job! So proud to see you able to stand up to these ridiculous tourists. I love it when you shout at them! They deserve it! Keep up the good work.
Tourists should not be allowed anywhere near the Queen's Guards & horses!! They should be required to stay behind a fence, where the guards & their horses are not put in danger!! This makes me sick!! The public cannot be trusted to behave appropriately, apparently, under any circumstance!! Pathetic!! Shameful!! 🇺🇸
The more and more I watch these videos, the more I realise this is likely the last times this duty will be performed. If in 3 years this is still going as is, if at all. I will be very surprised.
Glad to see that there's now some tall police officers on duty who can handle the situation properly and look like they know what they're doing. Nice quite word in the mans ear. Job well done.
Did I hear the police officer say to the friend: can you translate for me? Really they need a pictorial sign that needs no words to get the message across. And once again the horse comes in last with a yank on the bit.
@tricia4900 Actually, it's not obvious at all. Not to someone without horse knowledge. The guy made a mistake, it's really that simple. He's learned his lesson and probably won't do it again. There should be a paint line around the guard's area that says do not cross. The line itself is a universal sign that this area is marked off for a reason. There should also be signs saying don't approach the horses. If everyone else isn't getting close then people that don't speak the language usually aren't going to do it either. You really don't need to be right up next to them to get a picture with them anyway.
@@thelnepoet1 Good ideas all. It is really not rocket science. A red paint line, maybe police posted for a period of time to get people used to the idea of staying out of the zone. Eventually it will become common knowledge and obvious to stay back.
@cynn3367 Exactly. Eventually, it'd be less stressful on the guards and the horses and way safer for the tourists. Horses, even well trained/mannered ones, can have off days just like us.
My boy once bit a child in the face after the kid repeatedly teased him, the mom never even tried to stop him. I wasn’t there, but was told about it afterwards. People can be so dumb!
It’s unfair and extremely unrealistic to expect every foreign tourist to be able to read English. How many English people go abroad able to read in the language of the country they visit?
@@shirleyanneyoung955 sorry you're misunderstanding what I said...... I was being sarcastic (my English sense of humour) meaning ppl choose not to read the signs put up!!! It should be common courtesy for tourist NOT to go up to a soldier on hourseback that is on duty doing his job & pull on the horses reins. I would never ever do the that in this country or any other!!!!!! Would they like it if they were at work & the soldier went & started tugging on their clothes wanting a pic, no they wouldn't!!
I feel like that guard and horse both need a thank you gift for so tactfully dealing with the amount of stupid sh*t they have to put up with at their post.

They just need to blanket ban touching the horse and then no one's going to get it wrong by accident. Those that then do can get the good yelling at they deserve
All those people and nobody bothers to thank the guards. The guards are doing a job, they are not there for photo props. I loved the little boys at the end. They kept a safe distance. I bet their parents are proud of them.
He looked visibly shaken ! Good.
That was the most dangerous one I've seen so far. He not only grabbed the reins, but it looked like he was trying to lead the horse out of the box as well. That was blatant AF
Had the very great pleasure in seeing the horse stand on the foot of some over familiar idiot a few years ago. I think the trooper and his mount enjoyed it as much as I did.
Interesting the way they all pose and they have to have their hand on the horse. They have a no touching policy at Disneyland and this isn't Disneyland. These are military horses and military soldiers. They should have a no touching policy. Not that some of these people would listen.
There is one in every crowd who thinks the rules don't apply to them
Well done guard💖 and Policeman💖
I love how the police comes to check when a guard shouts 😊. so much for the new sign
They would no more grab the lead of a stranger's dog, why would they do that to an animal much bigger than they are? Not only that even feeling the pull he didn't let go till the guard charged him. What an idiot.....who did he think he was? Some big man in front of his 'mates'.
Clearly Yellowstone Park is not the only place where Tourons gather. 😳🥺
What a lovely natured horse ❤
Something i've noticed in these videos. Not one of the tourists thanks the Guard for allowing them to have a photo taken with him and his mount.
It's clear that all these people think these Soldiers are paid actors like they'd find at Disneyland.
I've seen a couple of very polite Americans thanking the guard.
Even if they were actors in Disneyland, what about a thank you to them. It's a complete lack of RESPECT.
Actually they often do try to thank the guard but s/he is seated high up and frequently looking the other way, so the opportunity is lost. I’m perfectly sure the tourists here do NOT think the guards are paid actors just because they’re allowed to take photos next to them and pat the horse. They’re allowed to take photos next to policemen in uniform too, and next to Pearly Kings and Queens, none of whom are paid actors either. The difference lies in the fact that sightseers cannot talk to the guards or establish any kind of relationship with them. In fact, not talking to the guards is a form of respect as it’s well known they are on duty and shouldn’t be distracted.
I just commented about this. So rude.
That guy knew exactly what he was doing, the rules are simple and clear to anyone, all know that the reins are for guiding the horse and him grabbing them was no mistake . He had a smirk on his face when walking back and the guy with them spoke english and said reins so he knew. The Police need to start fining or arresting anyone now who grabs the reins chain or bridle area. The sooner that happens the sooner the word gets out and less will try it. Mind you there will always be the ENTITLED who will try because as we know rules don't apply to them.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖💖💖
It takes 1 person to break the rules-everybody will follow! The Guardsmen was too kind. To grab the reins of his horse indicates- “a power play” they guy is lucky not to have been touched by his saber! Great job Guardsmen 🇬🇧
It’s so nice to see certain people be in the moment and take a natural photo, instead of pretending to be a cover model! Too much time on Instagram!
I like the tourists that stand a respectful distance away
Yes! Good on him. It's ridiculous not being able to shout. Unfortunately it's needed.
Gorgeous horse, must be very difficult for the horses and guards to constantly be touched by tourists.
~ I'm a proud warhorse damn you! Stop treating me like your Christmas puppy.
(I don't bite the little tourists. They're mostly bones anyway. Anybody near my head height is fair game if I'm in the mood.) ~
Teach horses to nip them...they back off when horses start doing that.
No one has the manners to say Thanks or Thank You to the Guard riding the horse.....Amazing tolerance by the horse I think. Dont know anything regards horses but.... Laurie NZ
About time the guards shouted again!
Love this gaurd.he takes know messing ❤
I don't understand why they have to touch the horse let alone grab the reigns if that horse gets spooked it won't only hurt himself and the guard but also the public.
Please show some respect for the horse and guard they are working after all.
Respect to the guard and horse you do an amazing job.
I am in awe of these gorgeous horses and the guards so calm.
Nice shout out by the Guard & well done to the police.
Oh, that poor horse, that must have hurt him .
Pathetic
Every time I see video's like this I wonder what happened to respect?
Horse Guards originally formed the entrance to the Palace of Whitehall and later St James's Palace; for that reason it is still ceremonially defended by the King's Life Guard.
God Bless the horse and the man who patiently sits there with him🙏🏼🙏🏼☀️
I've said this time and again they need symbols not words. A big horse with a circle and a cross line says no touch.
It is such a pity that people can't read.........I think they are testing the guard......
I do too.
Petition.
Should the 2 on-duty mounted horse guards be issued with truncheons for use against any who touch their person or mount (especially the reins)?
Their patience and discipline is inspirational.
Oh to be able to give a poke with the sword!
Very patient Royal Guards, lovely horses. Tourists are annoying. The horse must be exhausted after being touched, tugged at, etc. Plus all the smells and noise.
Amazing what the guards and their horses have to put up with from these clueless tourists !!
That horse was getting quite distressed.
Apparently, none of them can read the sign that says don’t touch the reins!
You don't need a language to express RESPECT. You do however need to engage your brain and show some common sense.
God Bless the Guard and the horse for their immeasurable patience 🐎 🙌 🙏
I can't imagine a civilian grabbing the reigns of a police horse. Why the hell do they think it's ok to touch the KINGS GUARDS HORSE?
Why on earth are these people allowed to even touch the Kings horses? There should be a barrier 2 meters away.
Maybe the guards feel like using their sword on people, too!
Beautiful, stunning horses.
I kust love these beautiful soldiers and the horses so majestic, i wish I could be there to show my respect which they deserve so much for what they do, God Bless them 🙏🏼❤❤☺️
You have to have confidence approaching these beautiful horses.
If you notice the nervous holiday makers leave the horse skittish.
I want to know how the Guards walk in those boots. They look really uncomfortable. Props to our King's Guards for the great job they and their horses do.
7:49 is the massive shout and charge! Much RESPECT to that King's Guard, however I think this man has no idea what he did, until someone came out and explained it to his group. Then again, grown folks should not feel the need to touch anything!
It was hardly a charge
Thanks for posting the time of the event. People really need to learn how to edit videos no need to post a 10 minute video when what you’re wanting to show is in the last 2 minutes.
Why not rope off the area with lazer light beams about 4 feet high going from one pole to another and put up sign do not cross beam. This way the horses can move out without disturbing anything. People can still cross in front of horses without being able to touch them. By the way, all of you Guards do an amazing job! So proud to see you able to stand up to these ridiculous tourists. I love it when you shout at them! They deserve it! Keep up the good work.
7:51 oh that poor little girl in the pink shorts got scared so bad. Bless her
Well done, that guard.
Tourists should not be allowed anywhere near the Queen's Guards & horses!! They should be required to stay behind a fence, where the guards & their horses are not put in danger!! This makes me sick!! The public cannot be trusted to behave appropriately, apparently, under any circumstance!! Pathetic!! Shameful!! 🇺🇸
Love horses, used to ride horses… don’t put your bloody child next to a horse with big teeth 🙄🙄🙄
The more and more I watch these videos, the more I realise this is likely the last times this duty will be performed. If in 3 years this is still going as is, if at all. I will be very surprised.
I just love the tourist reactions around the ferocious, man eating horse
The ignorance of some people is profound. This is not a petting zoo. These guards are there to do their jobs. Show respect.
The way the horse was staring at the little girl at 3:17 was so cute!
Eerst weet deze toerist zogenaamd niks😢.
Komt de politieagent dan begrijp ze het opeens.
Spreken ze wel Engels.
Glad to see that there's now some tall police officers on duty who can handle the situation properly and look like they know what they're doing. Nice quite word in the mans ear. Job well done.
They aren't there for your entertainment, they're the Kings guard 😡
You cannot hold the reign of the horse . It's the palace guard control the horse not the tourists.
Extañaba estos gritos ❤
Did I hear the police officer say to the friend: can you translate for me? Really they need a pictorial sign that needs no words to get the message across. And once again the horse comes in last with a yank on the bit.
I was watching this live today, and yes the MOD policeman did get the friend to translate..
Erm...its OBVIOUS you dont touch the reigns so dont blame it on not understanding English
@tricia4900 Actually, it's not obvious at all. Not to someone without horse knowledge.
The guy made a mistake, it's really that simple. He's learned his lesson and probably won't do it again.
There should be a paint line around the guard's area that says do not cross. The line itself is a universal sign that this area is marked off for a reason. There should also be signs saying don't approach the horses. If everyone else isn't getting close then people that don't speak the language usually aren't going to do it either.
You really don't need to be right up next to them to get a picture with them anyway.
@@thelnepoet1 Good ideas all. It is really not rocket science. A red paint line, maybe police posted for a period of time to get people used to the idea of staying out of the zone. Eventually it will become common knowledge and obvious to stay back.
@cynn3367 Exactly.
Eventually, it'd be less stressful on the guards and the horses and way safer for the tourists.
Horses, even well trained/mannered ones, can have off days just like us.
They've got some really beautiful horses.
Great Guard….🇺🇸
My boy once bit a child in the face after the kid repeatedly teased him, the mom never even tried to stop him. I wasn’t there, but was told about it afterwards. People can be so dumb!
Best gorgeous guard 💂 ever
Why can't people read the signs, I have to admit that it's great to see the look on the tourist faces of shock. ✨️💖🤗
Гвардейцу нужно иметь крепкие нервы
I was just about to say love the new sign but some aren't able to read!!!!! and he shouts.....😂
It’s unfair and extremely unrealistic to expect every foreign tourist to be able to read English. How many English people go abroad able to read in the language of the country they visit?
@@shirleyanneyoung955 sorry you're misunderstanding what I said...... I was being sarcastic (my English sense of humour) meaning ppl choose not to read the signs put up!!! It should be common courtesy for tourist NOT to go up to a soldier on hourseback that is on duty doing his job & pull on the horses reins. I would never ever do the that in this country or any other!!!!!! Would they like it if they were at work & the soldier went & started tugging on their clothes wanting a pic, no they wouldn't!!
I could never do that job,I would screaming and shouting at people all day,and not in a lady like way.👿
I feel like that guard and horse both need a thank you gift for so tactfully dealing with the amount of stupid sh*t they have to put up with at their post.
I believe everyone there was, or could have been, in danger. Excellent policing, guarding, AND camera work. MUCH RESPECT. To me, the visitors in question looked covertly armed and military as Hxll.
Some people may not be able to read english ... so an explanatory drawing will have to be added to the panel 😀😀
