I hope the guard wasn't seriously injured in his fall, but I have to say...overall, I was very impressed by the horse. He had his moment when he thought, "Enough is enough" and he shed his rider, then he went back to being a good boy and followed the pack. You have to love the little bit of rebellion followed by contrition...good horsie!
Love how they just carried on. No one running to get the horse. They are herd animals and all knew he would just fall into line on his own, albeit without the rider..... :)
Must have been embarrassing, dude just almost broke his back with probably a lot of his family watching. not that he could have done anything about it.. other than not joining the army
people who join the army arent critical thinkers, their mission objective that day wasnt to play nurse. coworker/ friend fell of horse and possibly broke his back das his problem. misfortune favors the weak
I love how the horse had its rebellious moment, before suddenly coming to the realisation that if it keeps it up it'll probably be off to the glue factory and decided to behave and line up as if nothing happened.
Conversation in the stables that morning: "Another damn parade today." "Yeah just like yesterday." "Same damn thing every day." "It's cruelty to animals is what it is." "You're right. It's not like we're milk cows, needing the same routine." "I'm gonna throw my rider." "No you're not" "Yes I am." "I dare you!"
Wendy Julyan I know, right?! He was on his back on the ground. I hope he wasn't seriously injured. I've fallen off and have had the wind knocked out of me for what seemed FOREVER. I'm hoping that was the case here 🙏🏼
Hopefully just bruised rather than broken. I understand they're supposed to stay down and stay still until they've been checked. Probably why he didn't get up right away.
Good fellow ,he just took his place ..falls are a happening with the territory ,just go limp and lay to make sure you aren’t injured before getting up..smart move.
Its never if you fall off only a matter of when. My competition horse puts up with everything, except butterflies yup butterflies. How can you ever get a horse overbutterflies. !!
Mine was plastic bags. Like those flimsy ones from the grocery store. One loose plastic bag in the wild you didn't see before he did and it's a mad dash for the barn, hang on and hope for the best!
Horses sight are different they see every thing bigger than humans. maybe because butterflies flying are silent no noising like birds or other insects, horse get scared. Very sensitive animals I love them
Other Horse: „ hey you got something on your back“ Horse: „Oh yeah, thanks“ *YEEET* Horse: „can I step back into the line, I just needed to get rid of something“
How come nobody goes to help the guard that has been thrown off the horse a broken tail bone is an awful thing to recover from.I feel so sorry for that guard was not badly hurt.from Australia
Horse a little spirited today??? Didn't fancy a rider..... Boy I'll tell you what, if I had the opportunity to ride I'd be up before anyone else and get my ride in. A great way to start my day. Wish I had land and horses like my forefathers did, I would be one happy girl.
the horses are constantly chucking their heads in whatever vid you see so the mouth pieces are definitely wrong as you never see police horses go awol as many times as the queen's horseguards
I was gonna say that the other day since I am suddenly receiving so many of the queen's guard videos this month.. & so many are having the same issue! I feel as 8f they are more concerned with the appearance or attire being authentic rather than the horse & riders comfort 9r safety. ?? I mean we can't be positive what bit they're using but something sure seems amiss
Once I cut through Hyde Park on my way home from work. Same thing happened by the Grosvenor Road exit. The horse nearly ran into the road then it charged where I was standing. It was terrifying!
The best thing you can do at that point is stay silent,calm and see it it is absolutely safe to either catch the horse by the bridle or if needed, direct it the other way. Am an equestrian. Screamibg only makes it worse and that's the first thing you learn as a beginner rider. If something happens, you better keep your mouth shut, don't scream and only call for help all while trying your all to calm the horse down. Horses are like mirrors. If you are anxious, the horse will be anxious. You get scared, guess what, you are in the ER in minutes.
We have lots of wild donkeys and horses here. we feed them and outside my husbands office they gather for a drink, we have many foals at the moment, a joy to see them
Pauline Woodhouse The care and well being of the rider is catered for in training, both rider and foot soldiers know what the protocol is in the event of a fall!
Es que no puede ser con la gente no respeta ni a los animales que están haciendo su trabajo y están entrenando todos los días y se asustan pórtate además a toda la gente se les nota lo que quieren hacer son muy intuitivos, pero les da igual y en cuanto a los soldados están haciendo su trabajo y además dirigir a un caballo la mayor parte de las veces asustado, porque no van a hacer.lo mismo con un pescadero o uno que trabaja en las alcantarillas? O con un portero del Teatro, es que no se puede mostrar respeto por estos hombres y sus compañeros caballos?
I'm sure he's fine. They are trained to stay down and stay still until they've been checked, that's probably why he didn't get up right away. Also getting thrown on the gravel/sand would have been a softer landing than on the road, if he was lucky.
These are soldiers from the army. I believe they have to learn to ride and must supply the horse themselves. They should learn to ride. As a riding instructor from Germany I think they could all do with a sitz longe. And the horses need more work so they are a bit tired!
The horses are actually generally provided and cared for by the army. They graduate a traditional cavalry training school (a 16 week program if I remember correctly). Some of them have no previous riding experience. During this program they are taught to mount, walk, trot, canter, and jump while keeping control of their horse. The soldiers themselves have very little say in the manner of their instruction, as it is based off a system which has been developed over centuries. They spend half the year on ceremonial duties and the other half meeting training requirements and deploying as needed. Speaking as a former member of a similar unit in the United States, they do a great job and it is very clear they take pride in their work. Respect for the horse is instilled from minute one of training- they eat first, they are cared for first, and if a building is on fire and they are inside, we go in to save them. Quite literally, our unit SOPs stated "save the horses" but never said anything about fellow troopers. I would assume that they are taught this in the same manner we were, as our training manuals were written based on theirs. The horses are actually quite well cared for- they get predawn rides through London, they see vets, farriers, dentists, and tack fitters on a regular basis, and I do believe I've also read that they also get sent out to pasture on a regular schedule. (sorry, info dump I know- will admit to being a slight bit of a nerd on this subject).
Well, the easy answer is their enemy. The French under Bonaparte had many many issues. No money for starters thus no ammunition. The list is long. Death came to both sides.
Back in those days the horses received proper training and the riders had proper training and experience. These contemporary riders don't have the slightest idea what they are doing and the horses are extremely poorly trained.
The bits are extremely harsh, cruel. This combined with poor horsemanship results in the horse exploding like this. It's time these riders learnt to ride in a rope halter with one rein only and until the rider fully understands the value of this he should NEVER be allowed to progress to two reins, let alone ride with a bit. The mouth of a horse is extremely sensitive. I could go on, but feel that I'm wasting words.
Yes - you are wasting words. You have no idea what you are talking about. This horse didn't just decide to play up because he didn't like his halter!!! These are some of the best trained equestrians in the country. The horses are well trained and well treated - we all have an off day.... halter my eye.

What’s with all the “head tossing.” And when in motion, the noses are doing their own thing. Haven’t these people heard of teaching their horses proper head position for these exercises?
