That lady grabbed the reins, close the the bit, on both sides. Technically taking over the control of the horse. It may not have been her intention, but that is when the guard spoke out. That is when they usually step in, when people behave in such a way that it interferes with their job. The horses are trained to be ready to move at any time, but the guard will need an open line of communication with the horse through the reigns.
Anyone no matter where their from like me. I'm not from UK. But I watch this. Crazy. If you don't any better than grab the guards reins. Don't have any business even getting around the horse the idiots
They are Soldiers, after all! And The King's Guards at that! I can't believe these Tourists! They act like they think they're in Disneyland or something & taking pictures with the Characters! These Mounted Soldiers are not there for ppl's picture taking!! They're Guarding the Property! I bet that you can't act like that with Soldiers in other Countries! Do ppl run up to Uniformed Soldiers, in the Public that they don't know & take pictures with them? I don't think so! It's pretty stupid, really!
@@lth7023 They are NOT "soldiers"... far from it. Soldiers are combat trained and protect our country. These are showmen. That's why there are police nearby who can take action if necessary. These are merely actors dramatizing ancient times when Guards really were that. They have no authority to do anything. It's actually funny they way they act. Tourists don't respect them.
Oh hell what difference does it make ? Its all for show . really ! There is police armed to the teeth and I guy on a horse with brass and a sword what's he going to do. Tell me that's not a damn show if it wasn't for the tourist there would be no reason for them to be there . if it wasn't for tourist you all wouldn't have the revenue for all that shit . if he'd had charged my wife like that I'd have pulled his ass off that horse nd spanked his tender young hind end cherry ass red for the whole world to see.

Well acknowledged fact that the tourists are problematic .But they are a necessary commodity to keep London afloat financially. So we have to grit our teeth and be nice .
Give me a break ! They all know this is done for tourism . The sign and his attitude is just show . That horse put his head down for the children . What we need is someone sticking their finger in the horses ear. Most seem to like that. 🇺🇸✌️👍🦅😎
@@rayRay-pw6gzshe grabbed the horses harness that is a no no. Many of these men have fought in Afghanistan and elsewhere they are not just there ‘for show’
Looking closely, you'll notice just before he shouted "get back!" the woman with the pink scarf reached up and grabed the rein just below the bit. Big no no.
You know what was really sad to me? The camera guy showed her family walking away, and she didn't seem the least bit bothered by the fact that he sounded off at her. No regret, nothing. Ohhh, that makes my blood boil.
to Deborah Harris…… you’re SO correct! I’ve ridden horses’ all my long life, & the gross stupidity of people is beyond the pale, when it comes to being around equines’.
Still think the regular police should do more crowd control.. Sometimes horses are literally surrounded by loud disrespectful people, there plenty of them wandering around the inner courtyard!
It’s amazing how they tell their kids to stand by the horse to get a better picture Sometimes they are scared to do so but ya gotta get that picture Again I say this Not a petting zoo
Our daughter turned five and we had a party with a petting zoo. I paid extra for a pony just for her to ride. She was terrified of that pony. Never got on it once. You dont force children up close to an animal!
When you consider that many children are afraid of dogs imagine what some children think and feel when they are standing beside what would seem like giant horses!
Do some of them honestly think that this is Disneyland ? They must have left their brains and manners at the Customs Desk in the airport, ready to collect them on their way back home.
Just before the Trooper shouted, the policeman had told them not to touch the reins. 03:35 After the shout you can hear him say "...For that very reason"
The horse's expression after the guard shouting was fantastic 😂. I wonder if a notice should be put up notifying the public and tourists not to touch the horses. Otherwise face the consequences from the guards & police at there own risk. You don't touch a guide dog when it's got his work harness on. Just a thought 🤔.
There is a sign on the wall warning that horses can kick and bite - sadly most of the tourists are too ignorant to take heed of it. There needs to be a barrier - the horses are very well-trained and controlled, but they're massive animals and could cause injury in a second.
The tourists seem to think it is a petting zoo - really they shouldn't be touching the horses .Too many tourists think the soldiers are there especially for them when in fact they are on-guard .
I'd say this Guard is getting leg cramps and can't wait for his changing over to going. It is hard to sit in your saddle for a full hour without getting a numb bum or your side calves starting to cramp. Been there done that and it isn't easy. My hat goes off to all these beautiful guards and their steeds. Glad the crowd was charged as the guards patience was wearing thin.
@@donnatoye7915 yep same here.. It is hard to sit still and expect your horse to stand still when its git octopus tentacles all over it. Regards Kerry 🇦🇺 Australia.
Armed police with rifles swarming everywhere and a guy on a horse with brass and a sword . so who's doing the guarding . They are there for a show for public display and that's it. Take away the tourism and you puffed up stooges couldn't pay for it.
Mine would be terrible at this job.. Hes such a fidget. 🤣 he's also a biter. Though he does like human attention he also has 0 respect for personal space, its something we're working on but he's always in peoples faces, then he'll spin and shove his arse in your face because he wants a scratch.
The tourists do not keep him in his job. He is a member of the armed forces with a job to do. They pay him. Won’t be long before these guards are put inside railing just as the Guards at Buckingham Palace had to. I remember when the guards at Buckingham palace were outside but the tourists became so disrespectful
They all stand around staring like they have never seen a horse before -what is the matter with these people.Take pictures but let the guards do their job.
Mann stelle sich vor ein wildfremder Mensch greift einen ohne zu fragen einfach ins Gesicht mein größter Respekt vor Pferd und Reiter die sich das so gefallen lassen müssen! Ich würde viel öfter laut werden !
This just shows how no matter how trained the horse is it can always rear٫buck٫bronce٫spook or bite at the end of the day its still an animal and i like the way he was takijg no nonsense
……what do you mean by ‘bronce’? Do you mean ‘prance’? A horse in this circumstance may bite, kick, rear, or get spooked by loud, unexpected noise. Very unusual for one to buck, but may pig-root ie kick out backwards, if an idiot person stands behind it, or touch it on the rump unexpectedly.
Even people would get tired of being approached & touched like this. I think all living things (animals & humans alike) have a sense of personal boundaries & will get fed up & act out when enough is enough.
That woman in pink with white hat at the beginning was talking to the horse for ages. . I thought for one moment she was going to turn into another Horror in Red, woman. Its the posers with their fur coats and dark glasses that make me smile.
I remember going to see these guards when I was a kid, and I can tell you those horses are massive to a child. The guards and the horses have so much patience.
Yes, once again, ignorant tourists think this soldier and his horse are Disneyland props, they are NOT. With the amount of lunatics in this world any group of people could pose a danger to this soldier and/or his horse. This, I believe is why this soldier acted in his self defence. TOURIST, HAVE RESPECT FOR THESE SOLDIERS AND THEIR HORSES.
That was superb!! 😮I wasn’t expecting that but was so happy to see it happen…. Great respect to him. That should be done each time I’m hoping it puts the tourist s off but there again most of them are to thick to understand…..
Yeah let your kids touch the horse when there's a big sign warning the horses may bite or kick. It's not a petting zoo people, these are on guard duty!
They probably do. As a Museum Educator/Living Historian, I envy them for being able to do so (although I have yelled at tourists when they mess with the farm animals without permission).
Absolutely ! What silly people, who, just don't know what the word means !!! RESPECT should be taught in all school's not just in Britain but throughout the world ! If one is around horses you should know about how to behave and give the horse and guard space to do their job, it's common sense, without the hassle of disrespectful people who think they should have a photograph of themselves by an immaculate horse and rider !! They are a joy to see, but as the notice says horse's can bite or kick !!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ! Give RESPECT to the guard's and enjoy your day........
Excellent work from that trooper. I would have been tempted to use my sword! This tourist hot-spot has to change. By all means gawp and photograph but it has to be done from outside a safe area. A simple, makeshift cordon should be in place around these troopers when on duty.
I remember as a kid having my photo taken with one of these beautiful horses but at no time were they grabbed,assaulted, made fun of or disrespected..... what's happened to people
That was brilliant when did the rules change because I remember when I was a youngster in the 60's you weren't allowed to stand by the guards and take photos
That horse enjoys children. He can sense their sweetness. And then you get that man putting his phone in the horse’s face & the woman grabbing the reins!!! Adults?????
I cringe at the little ones sticking their fingers near the horse's mouth. I had a young friend lose a finger by being bitten off by a horse. I've owned horses and using common sense can save you a world of grief.
Astounding guard and horse. Horse was good to the kiddies and the guard was quick to react and take no nonsense in performance of his duty. I think a lot of tourists don't understand the horse guards are on active duty, not props.
Grabbing the reins of a horse is like grabbing a steering wheel of a car (not being the driver) It is just another example how some tourists can't show respect and will do anything for a picture. Wonder if any of these idiots can't read?? Love the horses and mighty fine looking guards. Respect should be given!!!!
Think about how a guard, will even allow plebs to go near that horse says a whole lot about his ability to read intent and contempt. And the horse tells him who he can trust. 🐴🏴☠️
The horse did not like the girl trying to touch it on its poll and if you watch the Guard closely you can see him gather up his reins before charging. Also, does anyone know if the horses have a ranking? K-9s do in the US. And they're considered law enforcement officers so you can be charged if you hit one. Is it the same in the UK?
these are part of the King's military - they are active soldiers who serve around the world with the rest of the British Army. They do these ceremonial duties for a limited time and it's considered an honour to do so - then they go back to their active military service -
As a young boy of pre-teen years there was a local common that people had grazing rights on so horses mainly would come and go I and a few friends played on this common for quite a few years always being warned by elders to steer clear of the animals on the common as you grow you start daring your mates to do stupid things I was challenged one day to feed what I saw @ the time to be a massive black horse I grabbed up a big handful of fresh green grass and stepped forward to feed this massive beast but my mates cheering spooked it and it charged forward through me I remember hitting the ground as the rear hoof stamped the ground millimeters from my head I learned a lesson that day as big as a creature of nature is they also experience fear Imagine being a fox during the Hunt season
No wonder the guard shouted and charged his horse at those people. There were too many people around them and the guard could see that it was stressing his horse out and he had probably had enough of it as well. You would think some of these people have never seen a horse before. Common sense would tell you to stand back and wait your turn
The last thing you want to do is grab the reigns of these horses! It is because of the type of bit they have in their mouths. Grabbing the reigns can really hurt their mouths. This can cause the horse to rear up. So do not touch the reigns and maybe not even the nose and mouth.
@@sueharrison8193 okay "reins" but don't let that take away from my post. I saw a horse yawning in one of these videos. The bit is doubled and solid steel attached to shanks. So it will hurt the horse when the reins are tugged and it can cause the horse to rear up.
@@mollyjones4165 Of course no one should be tugging on the bit at all, whatever type it is - who said otherwise! Pretty sure you have never operated a cavalry bit of any type it in your life.
...and of course, there has to be some smart arse yank tourist sarcastically shouting out “thank you for your service”, after the guard has quite rightly chased off rude and disrespectful tourists. These guards are working armed forces of His Majesty the King - they are not some ridiculous Disney attraction.
I don't think the yank was being sarcastic. I think it was an acknowledgment that the Guard and his mount were serving their king and country. It is a phrase frequently heard in the USA directed to a soldier as a sign of respect.
What was the reason? The woman with the black short coat and pink scarf held the reins illegally, that was the reason. How could anyone so disrespectful like she was, they are no attraction for the whole people, the horses belongs to the royal guard!!!
Love this Guard doesn’t take all the nonsense from tourists. He waited till the children were out the way. ❤️🏴

I noticed it also how the guard let the children move away before he shouted and moved the horse 😍
Sheer madness totally disrespectful well done to that guard .
Our serving men and women should not have to be treated like Disney characters, people have no respect, these horses and soldiers are on duty
The police should be watching for that so the horse doesn't get scared half to death and given PTSD
I think that horse is loving every bit if it, being told all day he's a beautiful thing, I bet he go's home with a big head 😁👍
The Tourons should not be allowed to touch the horse. Pics are okay as long as they don’t touch the horse.
They won't forget that anytime soon. It's amazing that it even deterred the Karens. I was expecting someone to throw a tantrum. Damn son.
Thank you 5AS5BS and Happy New Year!
Thank you very much! Happy New Year to you as well!
Stroking is fine. The very moment somebody grabs the reigns you’ll be shouted to get back!
Think about how a guard, will even allow plebs to go near that horse says a whole lot about his ability to read intent and contempt. And the horse tells him who he can trust. 🐴🏴☠️
Don't people know that this sort of behavior is upsetting for the horse?
I still don’t understand. Years ago you were not allowed near them. There should be boundaries now.
Super trooper!
The horse did not like the girl trying to touch it on its poll and if you watch the Guard closely you can see him gather up his reins before charging. Also, does anyone know if the horses have a ranking? K-9s do in the US. And they're considered law enforcement officers so you can be charged if you hit one. Is it the same in the UK?
these are part of the King's military - they are active soldiers who serve around the world with the rest of the British Army. They do these ceremonial duties for a limited time and it's considered an honour to do so - then they go back to their active military service -
I think there should be a sign telling tourists its forbidden to touch the horse. How magnificent these animals are show some respect .
They can't read the other sign
They can't read the other sign
These horses and guardsmen must be fed up with these people.😡😡
As a young boy of pre-teen years there was a local common that people had grazing rights on so horses mainly would come and go I and a few friends played on this common for quite a few years always being warned by elders to steer clear of the animals on the common as you grow you start daring your mates to do stupid things I was challenged one day to feed what I saw @ the time to be a massive black horse I grabbed up a big handful of fresh green grass and stepped forward to feed this massive beast but my mates cheering spooked it and it charged forward through me I remember hitting the ground as the rear hoof stamped the ground millimeters from my head I learned a lesson that day as big as a creature of nature is they also experience fear Imagine being a fox during the Hunt season
These tourists should show some Respect for the guards they are not there for your amusement
No wonder the guard shouted and charged his horse at those people. There were too many people around them and the guard could see that it was stressing his horse out and he had probably had enough of it as well. You would think some of these people have never seen a horse before. Common sense would tell you to stand back and wait your turn
Horse just had enough of the turists whum were touching his nose.This isn't a petting zoo people. Peace God Bless the King
1:52 anyone else see the light flickering in the window ( pause and look carefully at each window! In the shot)😱 xx
I noticed. Yes.
The last thing you want to do is grab the reigns of these horses! It is because of the type of bit they have in their mouths. Grabbing the reigns can really hurt their mouths. This can cause the horse to rear up. So do not touch the reigns and maybe not even the nose and mouth.
And what 'type of bit' is that, Mr Expert?
@@1977ajax it is called a shank bit. No one has any business pulling on the horses' reigns.
Its "reins"
@@sueharrison8193 okay "reins" but don't let that take away from my post. I saw a horse yawning in one of these videos. The bit is doubled and solid steel attached to shanks. So it will hurt the horse when the reins are tugged and it can cause the horse to rear up.
@@mollyjones4165 Of course no one should be tugging on the bit at all, whatever type it is - who said otherwise! Pretty sure you have never operated a cavalry bit of any type it in your life.
Kings guard so good they must have some respect.
I think the sign needs adding to.... 'and the guard has a long stabby thing too' lol hey - together they are practically a unicorn.
Serves them right poor horse being totally smothered
I wonder what he thinks about while he's sat there for hours.
How f#ing stupid people are.
They are only there for an hour at a time before they change the guards
England shame on you. Subjecting these men/horses to this abuse. Put a barrier between the guards and the public.
3:32 - Get back
3.32. "WELL DONE" to this guard! FINALLY!!!!!!! It should not be alowed to tatch the horses. Keep your distance!!!!!!
They should always have a cop stationed between the horses
These videos are absolutely amazing
...and of course, there has to be some smart arse yank tourist sarcastically shouting out “thank you for your service”, after the guard has quite rightly chased off rude and disrespectful tourists. These guards are working armed forces of His Majesty the King - they are not some ridiculous Disney attraction.
I don't think the yank was being sarcastic. I think it was an acknowledgment that the Guard and his mount were serving their king and country. It is a phrase frequently heard in the USA directed to a soldier as a sign of respect.
Don't touch the horse. He is working.
Touch horses in your own country and see what happens
These fools think the horse is a toy,for there fun.
What was the reason? The woman with the black short coat and pink scarf held the reins illegally, that was the reason. How could anyone so disrespectful like she was, they are no attraction for the whole people, the horses belongs to the royal guard!!!
