Well if it's so bad why don't they 🛑 tourist's from being so close to the horse and soldier? And as far as people pulling on the reins why do they allow that why don't they 🛑 that, I'd like an answer if you don't mind ❗

Well, you need to have some knowledge of horses. When their ears are pinned back. Stay back from them. All these people are too much stimulation for these animals. It's a wonder their not throwing guards left and right. I don't understand why people are allowed to touch them. The place has the atmosphere of a circus.
@@prall0915 I have no knowledge of horses but I know working horses should be left alone and respected they are doing a job they're not there for amusement . Respect the work doesn't require prior horse knowledge it requires common courtesy and sense.
They can do as they want for the most part. The UK is still a free country. If the Horseguards administration want to prevent tourists from going into the arches they should put up a notice to that effect or a chain across the opening. They obviously don’t think walking through the sentry box is a problem, especially when it’s not occupied. Touching and patting the horses is allowed. Good manners isn’t protocol and most people have them. You only see the few that don’t on these videos because that’s what interests viewers and earns hits.
I totally agree with you Susan.I expect many of them might be interested,..and it's a good conversation piece, talking about the Military routines of other Nations, particularly our Allies.
he's definitely one of the best and won't take any BS.... One hunderd percent turnaroud from that little goateed man who doesn't seem to want to stop any bad behaviour
I’m an American and dream of coming to the UK. To see this in person would be beyond a dream come true. Being an American, of course I don’t know protocols. But protocols or not I would respect the guardsman doing his job and ask if I may get a picture before shoving my camera or phone in his face. They are doing a job, not entertaining people. I know I would be uncomfortable with people standing around shoving cameras in their face. Not to mention asking if I may pet the horse first before just putting my hands all over a living being. The guardsman knows their horse better then I do and if a horse was just not in the mood then why force him to do something he doesn’t want to. I don’t think it’s a tourist thing but a common sense thing. And if I get an answer of no then I will respect it and come back another time. I wish people would respect people and animals more, especially when they have a heavy responsibility such as a horse guard.
Thank you, for you replying to someone pinned as a King guard who takes videos and is furious with the so called tourists.I was defending our people in USA who knows how to behave as tourists,because I know that we behave!!! Hope your dream of going to UK will be a reality real soon!!!You will have a great time!!!They are fantastic!!!❤❤❤
@@Jossianne19130 USA has horses the police ride horses besides the point they know what a horse is and these are suppose to be respected not touched just looked at.
Such a beautiful horse. I'm learning how big they are etc. The patience of both rider and horse amazes me. I get to tired of dealing with the public, they can be so stupid and rude. Thanks for everyone's service.
The horses are amazing. The Guards are very nice to people unless you reach for the reins.💂 which no one without authority should do. I had no idea about the vast number of tourist that are in that area. It only takes a couple of bad apples to make a day go not so good. Well done Guards !
Doesn't matter if it's a Guardsman or a civilian rider, you never reach for the reins unless you're the rider or have been given the horse to lead away. It's health and safety when you think about it.
Yes I saw that young land wished more people would do what she did. She actually turned around and said Thank you to the guard, who returned the gesture. It was definitely a gesture that was appreciated and not seen very often when I watch these videos.
I've read up on how not to touch the horses, but tourists don't realize they are working at protecting the King. I applaud the guards and the military, and police how they handle disrespectful and rude people. The horses are absolutely gorgeous, my heart drops when the horse gets scared.
Double yellow or red lines on the ground like on the British roads at least 3 feet away from the horse, anyone over that line should be escorted away, if the horse throws a wobbly for any reason (bad day or traffic to loud for ex) both rider and horse have enough space with out them hurting themselves
@@expatmoose you said double yellow lines on the ground. Like N R I assumed you meant on the footpath. You said 3 feet away from the horse. So is that on the wall of their shelter? Look if you’re going to comment you need to be clear otherwise you come off looking stupid. Now don’t you?
I would like to make it across the pond, (one day!)...and just see this beautiful unity on Guard for The King... stellar to put up with this day in and day out!... Patience- and beyond!
I hope you may both be able to visit one day. I am biased, but it is a magnificent city and it was Dr Johnson who once said, ‘Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford’. 😊😊
First: thank you for these videos! It's amazing to see how many adults are actually frightened to get close lol. And then there are those who get too close and don't follow rules! It's always always the few that make it bad for everyone else who truly care about the guards and horses!
I think they should stop the public going inside the gates, there is nothing to see anyway. And paint a bright white line on the ground and a box around the place where the horse stands. Because to be honest visitors do not know how to behave, the ignorant give everyone a bad name.
Absolutely…in fact no place should have to put any ignorance, self importance just because you are spending money ….have the grace to be civil, gracious, or otherwise 0 tolerance for you….
This is to answer certain questions in the chat. Why should we have to change The King's Life Guard and/or our Horse Guards for others. (The King's Life Guard are on foot and our Horse Guards are self explanatory). It is down to the individuals both from a visiting country and our own country to know what is permitted and not permitted. If you are unsure then common sense dictates that you stand around for a little while and watch others and then follow that example. If you are shouted at to get back, this is for not only YOUR benefit but for that of others as well. In response to people saying put up signs, are we expected to put up a sign in a shop saying don’t steal? Or should you be expected to know this? Does an employee stand at the door and tell everyone who enters. “Please don’t steal”. No. We have our traditions and reasons for them. Anyone who starts to handle the reins in any way WILL immediately be told to let go. Generally, if this is a young child, then our Horse guard’s will quietly say let go of the reins, if it’s an older child or an adult you WILL be shouted at!. This is done deliberately and for good cause. By handling the reins you affectively are attempting to handle the horse / take control of the horse and manoeuvre the horse. This is clearly an absolute non-starter. As for people getting close to The Kings Life Guard or to our Horse Guards again, this is tradition. I will end with this. Disrespect is not intended when you are actively being shouted at but rather it’s coming from a place of safety and awareness. The safety and awareness isn’t only for the benefit of the individual(s) who are being shouted at, but for the safety and awareness of all those other people who are standing nearby. Finally, if you was passing an armed Police Officer who is guarding a scene of a shooting, or who is stood still in the streets in the UK, in Europe, in any of The Americas…. Would you try to handle his weapon? Would you try to take control of their gun?. No you wouldn’t. Would that officer when people start standing around tell you, hey, hello, please don’t touch my gun.? No because it’s common sense. There is no difference between The Kings Life Guard, our Horse Guards in this respect. The Horses for our Horse Guards are the equivalent to an Armed Police’s Officers gun. Therefor common sense, truly should prevail. Hope this clears up a lot for everyone.
While I agree that rudeness is never acceptable, your point is a completely different situation: Stealing is a crime and everyone knows that. Being unable to speak English, or being ignorant, is not. Keep in mind also, that these people bring millions and millions to GB's economy. It's not all foreign tourists either. I have seen a few home grown fools in that crowd !!!
People mess with those animals as well the general public can be a nightmare when trying to control an animal when out and about sometimes animals need to be left alone they don’t want dozens of people bothering them.
It makes me mad that because there isnt a guard and horse in the box the tourist go through there, they know better then that. It's a form of rebellion on their part. Anger!
Unfortunately the “dumb” tourists have a language problem and silence no one tells them otherwise, they do what they want. Again , they don’t do research before they come. I absolutely love these videos !!!!
You do not have to speak English to understand hand gestures to move back or out of the way. I have respect for the guards and horses. They do a wonderful job!
Went to London several years back. The police were extremely nice and helpful. Loved the city. But we ended up choosing a hotel with no AC. About smothered at night. Still a fantastic trip!
Ignorant and rude tourist. No respect at all. I read your comment and all I can say is ... Well said. ... My comments are my own thoughts. I usually comment at the end but certain cases I will type while still watching video. I do not like to miss any of it. You have, I can asure you, my respect 100%. I would not let my family act like those rude and ignorant tourists. Looking forward to the next video. 🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏
These rules are there to keep horses guards and people visiting safe. The last thing they need is a spooked horse galloping around London and through the crowd
No. You have no controll of who walks up to the Guard and horses. Please put a perimeter up and tourist can take their pictures from perimeter. Our world is no longer safe and cultures are not in alignment with other country values including visiting England and the Guard and how to treat these gorgeous horses. Put up a perimeter.
These tourists behave as if they have paid to enter an amusement park. Firstly it is NOT an amusement park and secondly they have in no way paid an admission fee. Oh, thirdly, once they enter the enclosure they are in a military establishment. NOT a public viewing arena.

I am s---o tired of the Guards not taking control of the people touching the horse. You people in charge need to Get serious about touching the horse ,it is evident touching and crowds make the horse nervous !
Some walked through the empty horse box with all the manure.Couldn't they see the gate? How stupid. These vids fascinate me but make me mad at the same time.The sheer disrespect even contempt towards our Guards who have attended the Royal Family is upsetting. They need to understand that this is not Disneyworld.
Tourists: THIS IS NOT A PETTING ZOO. THIS GUARD IS STANDING GUARD ON DUTY. IF YOU WANT TO PET A HORSE GO TO A HORSE FARM. GIVE THE GUARD SPACE, TAKE YOUR PICTURE AND F OFF. BE RESPECTFUL IF YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
2:34 The MDP officer told the Asian lady beside the horse to get behind the bollards. She probably heard the request the first time but of course thought it didn’t apply to her 🙄 The thumbnail usually shows exactly what the title refers to. You can double tap the video on the right side to skip forward 10 seconds at a time if you don’t want to watch the whole thing.
If parents want to let their children pet animals, go to a zoo. NOT the Queens guards horses. They are noit pets or toys. They are warrior horses, horse soldiers. LET THEM BE. It pisses me off beyond words. Ignorant.
Quel est l'intérêt d'une photo quand on a un foulard qui vous cache la tête ? Des lunettes qui vous cache le ragard ? Ne manque plus que le masque 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
If these Guardsmen, with their horses, are working to protect the King -- and Britain itself -- why are they allowed to be treated with such disdain? Must be what the bureaucrats want.
They are serving officers protecting uk king country show more respect, ignorant people think they are for tourism, like our police emergency services law should be made to protect them against violence 😊
Someone had commented she hasn’t been there for a few weeks. Good chance they got their fill of her and they maybe banned her from coming back. That’d be a good thing!
So does this mean now that the guards aren’t allowed to yell at the tourists that the tourists can walk through the horses box without nary a word even though there’s no horse in it?
They’re not supposed to walk through the sentry box in case they startle or get injured by the horse occupying it. No horse, no problem. Does anyone know what happened to the horse?
@@roselynpike8538 I certainly hope so because those tourists are actually terrible people and I feel so sorry for those guards and horses having to put up with them!
I observe that these tourists are mostly people not used to obeying law and order. Can you imagine handling the horse's reign to endanger the guard and horse.? Do they think they are tin soldiers?
I MISS THE QUEEN. TO THIS HEARING THAT THOSE TWO AWFUL PEOPLE DID WHAT THEY DID THE LAST 2 YEARS OF HER LIFE MAKES ME SICK. IN MY TRUTH, ALLEDEGY AND IN MY OPINION
An awful lot of ill-mannered a disrespectful tourists. Horses are so intelligent. People don't seem to care these Guards are actually on Duty and Working!
To ghe person here who asked about the flag..It's the Union flag ..or Union Jack..tho I believe the former is correct. This building is the old Palace of Whitehall..it was on the outskirts of Buckingham palace centuries ago. The Guards are here to guard the Monarch..even tho he is down the street and around the corner! Someone will correct me if I'm wrong here but was Charles 1 executed here ( palace of Whitehal) ?
There are a lot of people that don't speak English. Behind the bullocks means nothing to them. Until I came to this page, I didn't know what a bullock was. We don't call them that in the US.

Went to London several years back. The police were extremely nice and helpful. Loved the city. But we ended up choosing a hotel with no AC. About smothered at night. Still a fantastic trip!
Ignorant and rude tourist. No respect at all. I read your comment and all I can say is ... Well said. ... My comments are my own thoughts. I usually comment at the end but certain cases I will type while still watching video. I do not like to miss any of it. You have, I can asure you, my respect 100%. I would not let my family act like those rude and ignorant tourists. Looking forward to the next video. 🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏
Я поражаюсь выносливости гвардейцев.И мне жаль ,что лошади не плюются,как верблюды.
These rules are there to keep horses guards and people visiting safe. The last thing they need is a spooked horse galloping around London and through the crowd
Exactly, look what’s just happened to some of the kings guard horses!
No. You have no controll of who walks up to the Guard and horses. Please put a perimeter up and tourist can take their pictures from perimeter. Our world is no longer safe and cultures are not in alignment with other country values including visiting England and the Guard and how to treat these gorgeous horses. Put up a perimeter.
There's always one...
The best way is to do a selfie from a distance.
What rude lady....didn't see footage of a rude lady.
Take a picture from a distance and don't touch the horse 🐴
Omg these horses are not in a petting zoo. They are guards for the King along with te guard riding
As a viewer, I thank you for your video’s
WELL SAID ,THERE SO IGNORANT, IT MAKES ME SO MAD ..
CARRY ON YOUR LOVELY WORK .....XX
The guard and Horse need a guard.
These tourists behave as if they have paid to enter an amusement park. Firstly it is NOT an amusement park and secondly they have in no way paid an admission fee. Oh, thirdly, once they enter the enclosure they are in a military establishment. NOT a public viewing arena.
The noise pollution is never ending

How many hours shifts do the soldiers and horses do? Standing in place can be very tiring,
I believe it is an hour
@@kevinmartin3859 I bet both Horse and Guard get bored. Especially the Horse, the Guard can keep his mind active with the crowds, the Horse is born to run but has to remain still.
@@thefurrybastard1964 A horse stands still in a stall for longer than an hour. Grow up.
@@lynw.6140 It's one hour only.
@@lynw.6140 And a horse stands in a stall with other horses around them.
And even in the stalls with other horses for complany they still get bored.
Stop being an internet know it all.
I am s---o tired of the Guards not taking control of the people touching the horse. You people in charge need to Get serious about touching the horse ,it is evident touching and crowds make the horse nervous !
I loved the way they trod through shit! So elegant.
The sign should read. DO NOT TOUCH THE HORSES!
No one should be touching those horses. Be it adults or children.
They walk amongst us… sadly.
😂😂
The lack of common sense and common courtesy is beyond me.
Some walked through the empty horse box with
all the manure.Couldn't they see the gate? How
stupid. These vids fascinate me but make me mad
at the same time.The sheer disrespect even
contempt towards our Guards who have attended
the Royal Family is upsetting. They need to
understand that this is not Disneyworld.
Geli, thank you for telling me how to skip video forward !
I am curious; is the videographer assigned to “film” all the shifts for their own legal protection?
I should think so. In today's world there will always be the need for legal protection against the outspoken offended antagonist.
No
GREAT example of give an inch they will take a mile 12:40.. she knows better
thank you 🙏
Ils se croient à Disney 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Tourists: THIS IS NOT A PETTING ZOO. THIS GUARD IS STANDING GUARD ON DUTY. IF YOU WANT TO PET A HORSE GO TO A HORSE FARM. GIVE THE GUARD SPACE, TAKE YOUR PICTURE AND F OFF. BE RESPECTFUL IF YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
Anyone would think they've never see a horse before. Leave them alone to do thier work.
Where was the rude lady?????
Do these horses ever get to go out to pasture for some grazing and R AND R?
of course. They even go to the sea for a Summer break in July at Holkham beach in Norfolk. Google it to see the beautiful photos.
Good on you‼️
2:34 The MDP officer told the Asian lady beside the horse to get behind the bollards. She probably heard the request the first time but of course thought it didn’t apply to her 🙄
The thumbnail usually shows exactly what the title refers to. You can double tap the video on the right side to skip forward 10 seconds at a time if you don’t want to watch the whole thing.
Thank you for that. I had no idea I could fast fwd video like that ! Much too long. A lot I don't know about my tablet.
Thank you so much Geli ❤
I've recently discovered that a triple tap fast forwards the video by 20 seconds. 😁
Boy, those double decker buses don't slow a bit! I kept waiting for one of them to clip a tourist! 😏
If parents want to let their children pet animals, go to a zoo. NOT the Queens guards horses. They are noit pets or toys. They are warrior horses, horse soldiers. LET THEM BE. It pisses me off beyond words. Ignorant.
Quel est l'intérêt d'une photo quand on a un foulard qui vous cache la tête ? Des lunettes qui vous cache le ragard ? Ne manque plus que le masque 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
it's not a petting zoo what is wrong with these people
If these Guardsmen, with their horses, are working to protect the King -- and Britain itself -- why are they allowed to be treated with such disdain? Must be what the bureaucrats want.
They were all polite
So what's up with your comment? Rude visitors? 😢
They are serving officers protecting uk king country show more respect, ignorant people think they are for tourism, like our police emergency services law should be made to protect them against violence 😊
Needs to be posters in different T la guages that point out the rules. So people understand the rules
And what languages would you have on a sign?
They do what they want,because nobody can be bothered to stop them…especially the Police who just lounge around all day.
Seams strange not to see that lady "Karen" hanging around the horses.
Whatever happened to her?
Was she banished for life?
Someone had commented she hasn’t been there for a few weeks. Good chance they got their fill of her and they maybe banned her from coming back. That’d be a good thing!
There is NO COMMON SENSE out there an more! Why do the other "tourists" say something to re rude ads ?
Wow, those RED BUSES 🚌 🚍are sure flying real fast. Givin is a tourist attraction, and there's lots of pedestrians very close to sidewalk!
To Many People For That Beautiful Horse To Stand Being Around,!😅
It’s amazing how many will walk through horse 💩 instead of the actual gate they’re supposed too! 🤦🏻♀️
Of all the places to walk thru to the square, let me walk in the one with lots of horse poop! Brilliant idea!
So does this mean now that the guards aren’t allowed to yell at the tourists that the tourists can walk through the horses box without nary a word even though there’s no horse in it?
Opportunists….normally a horse would be in there.
Who wants to step in horse shit? Only morons.
I think they are now allowed to yell at tourists again
They’re not supposed to walk through the sentry box in case they startle or get injured by the horse occupying it. No horse, no problem. Does anyone know what happened to the horse?
@@roselynpike8538 I certainly hope so because those tourists are actually terrible people and I feel so sorry for those guards and horses having to put up with them!
I observe that these tourists are mostly people not used to obeying law and order. Can you imagine handling the horse's reign to endanger the guard and horse.? Do they think they are tin soldiers?
I MISS THE QUEEN. TO THIS HEARING THAT THOSE TWO AWFUL PEOPLE DID WHAT THEY DID THE LAST 2 YEARS OF HER LIFE MAKES ME SICK. IN MY TRUTH, ALLEDEGY AND IN MY OPINION
What the hell do you know. Did you live with the Royal Family ????
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors 😡😡😡😡
Why are.people walking where horses stand.
Strolling through horse manure.
I cavalli sono bravissimi con tutta quella gente vhe gli gira intorno
I can understand that people want to take pictures of the guards. They look beautiful. I do not understand the need to touch the horse
I understand how kids love to pet horses. I was raised with horses and farm animals. It could help those to pet ponies and have ponies rides for kids.
lol its so funny to me that people are willing to go and jump over the horse shit to get in when less then 4ft is the dam gate lol
Yeah stupid
5:57 yeh mon respect guess whos bak❤️🇬🇧💯 5:57
An awful lot of ill-mannered a disrespectful tourists. Horses are so intelligent. People don't seem to care these Guards are actually on Duty and Working!
I am an American who lived in London, met and married one of the Royal Guards boy could I tell you some stories.
That constant road work noise must drive them all crazy
Hermosos caballos preparados para recibir tanto cariño
I would like to know if any of our suggestions are read and even thought of using????
Feel so sorry for our horse guards ! They must dread everyday with ignorant tourists .
Why do they need to touch the horse, take the picture and leave feel sorry for poor horse having to stand there manhandled 😢
They should clean out the cubicles at every guard change. Just looks better
Have you actually seen a change of Guard? As one horse goes out of the front of the box, the next one on duty enters at the back.
Nothing a little sword-play wouldn’t resolve?
Absolutely ridiculous taking a short cut where there's a gate
It's like herding cats!
To ghe person here who asked about the flag..It's the Union flag ..or Union Jack..tho I believe the former is correct. This building is the old Palace of Whitehall..it was on the outskirts of Buckingham palace centuries ago. The Guards are here to guard the Monarch..even tho he is down the street and around the corner!
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong here but was Charles 1 executed here ( palace of Whitehal) ?
There are a lot of people that don't speak English. Behind the bullocks means nothing to them. Until I came to this page, I didn't know what a bullock was. We don't call them that in the US.
