I've just been watching a couple of your videos from October last year , what a difference apart from the new signs and white lines NOT a spammer with half a dozen phones standing there all day in sight ! So apart from them everything has changed for the better 😀. Hope you're enjoying your day off John as protests kept Whitehall closed . Poor little " Fonzie " was like a lost soul with nothing to do 😂😂😂
These latest MOD police are not as vigilant as the previous MOD police. One in particular seems to stand around chatting and chewing gum. I realise the SAS Trained 😂( Pocket Rocket Policewoman is on Special Duties but she and her colleagues need to be brought back to Horseguards ASAP. There are far too many lapses in Policing Horseguards over the last few weeks.
I agree I really miss the last regime of police , the lovely strict lady and the two tall , as I don’t know their names I do not wish to offend in any way , but the two coloured police , they were exceptional at getting order . Hope they all come back very soon . I miss the “ old “ corporal of horse too , he was very visible around Horse Guards . Love the twin guards .
@@ElizabethLewis-q1e Yeah, I noticed the use of "coloured" too. It could be an age thing. My husband is 80 years old and is black. He still still refers to himself & others like him as coloured, at times, because that's the word used most of his life and to him it's not rude, even though he does try to say black
@@joytuc2608that's the way people who grew up in the fifties, sixties and part of the seventies referred to black people. That is the way it was so everyone chill. I still do it and I will be 75. It's the way it was. It's better than the N word which was also used.
Hey John! Looks massive crowded in the yard today. Glad I’m snuggled at home with my morning coffee! Have a good day out there! Thanks again for your commentary and keep the good work!
Hi John from Indianapolis Indiana I just have to say what amazes me is how the troopers can back the horses up into the box that just is incredible! Thank you so much for taking me on a stroll to horse guards!… have an awesome day!🩵
Wow no wonder the horses have a melt down sometimes. So many people it’s crazy. These troopers need a HUGE thank you for everything they do including putting up with this mess. At least most of them are being respectful. Wow just blows my mind
I remember this video and when you shared it a few days ago. These two police officers are new, as in this is the first time I've seen either of them. I also noticed they stay in that corner and not do anything till someone else comes out and starts doing crowd control. Either they are so new they don't know what to do, or they don't care. Either way, it's a shame because since they started, there is zero crowd control, even when the horse has a melt down.
I also noticed that the new police officers demeanour is different from the ones before. Maybe they have new orders, like the Guards. The Guards don't shout anymore and maybe the police have similar orders like to hold back (sorry my English is not so good)
@@marieradford8321 Not Only Creepy but Appalling Manners and Total Lack of Respect shown to the Guards. Everyone takes their family’s for days out, but this is Ridiculous . They whole family stand in front of the Guard just staring , it must be totally unnerving and uncomfortable for the Guard. Other Tourists are waiting to take photos with their family’s but these groups seem to think they are superior . Well they’re not. They are downright Rude and need to learn what Respect and Manners mean 🤨
Idiots think it is a freaking petting zoo. They stand around gaping and are too stupid to see that a 450 to 500kg unsettled horse is dangerous. One of my Gran's favourite sayings - Dumb As A Box Of Rocks! I used to ride when I was younger and watching the way the trooper guides and controls the horse, one handed and never losing the correct seat or position of the sword is amazing. I know exactly how difficult that is, and the trooper does it with style and class.
That is one angry horse. Look at the ears they are laid right back on the head, not up straight and perky! What is wrong with these people they see the horse is unsettled and still don't back of!🤯
The ghost of the haunted box was definitely at home today! The trooper controlled the horse extremely well. And I'm glad you didn't finish earlier John, or else we wouldn't have seen the box swap.
Truly outstanding horsewoman, this Guard! Large tour groups that day, John. After these Guards swapped boxes, the other horse acted up too! After you left, they made that horse go in and out at least 20 times. Over & over. It was devastating to watch! Love and appreciation as always, from Royal Oak Michigan USA ♥️🇺🇸🐴🐴🇬🇧♥️
It seems that the new MOD don't know what their job is. The tall youngish one walks around like he hasn't a clue what his job is. I so miss our favorite lady MOD. Nothing got past her and the horses adored her. Wish they would bring her back and train there newbies.
The problem with the scammers can only be solved by the issuing of licenses for the police to check too see if they are legitimate if not send them packing.
"Even the pigeon got scared." hahahaha! John, you come out with some zingers. But seriously, that crowd during the guard change was frightening. It's really going to progressively get worse over time. From a birds eye view, I looks like they need to start emergency plans when the yard gets too crazy. You are on the ground all the time, how do you think they could aliviate this problem? Off the top of my head, it might be a good idea to have someone who's duty it is to give a general assessment of the crowds in side the gate about 15 minutes before the guard change, and temporarily prevent any more people from coming in from both directions. It's so dangerous to have that many people in a very closed area. One horse bolting or getting to anxious could trigger anything causing a potentially terrible accident, and even panic in the crowd. wow!
The previous ones were working with the horse guards. What changed? Maybe the lady that came out in a previous video had some clout and now they can't do the same as before? She stopped and glared a few times at one of them.
It never ceases to amaze me that given the horrific photographs splashed all over the world of the bloody horses bolting through London, that more people aren’t aware that when horses are spooked in the city they damage themselves and other people and cars and it’s just an awful incident. Every time you describe something is extraordinary, John, I like to replace the word with something unprintable! The stupidity of tourists, their lack of awareness and care just astounds me. I’m 63 and well travelled, but I think my travelling days are over because I just can’t cope with the stupidity of tourists and the enormous numbers these days that just ruins the experience. 😢
35:00 - How infuriating that the tourons thought they'd take advantage of the situation for a close up pat after the horse had clearly had and having a meltdown moment!! 😡
Watching the lady guard -- her right leg was being pinned between the horse and the wall of the box opening. Finally the horse responds and moves forward so the guard can reposition the horse. This horse has been restless since it entered the box.
The harsh and loud accents seem to be upsetting the horse. My goodness some people are monumentally stupid in how to act around a distressed horse. Well done to the trooper in handling the horse. Good job!!!
I can't believe how many tourists just stand around when the horses are having difficulties. It's as if they really don't understand what damage the horse can do to them.
I really hate to say this but I'm not surprised anymore by how rude and thoughtless some people can be. I like to think that there are more polite and thoughtful people in this world. Once again John another great video thank you so much.😁
Please note this is a clip from 21st October not today 26th October , the date of filming is always included in the video description at the top , click more and scroll down . Thank you 😊
Seeing so many people, pushing and shoving, has definitely unsettled both horses. Havent seen them this upset for awhile. Don't blame you at all for withdrawing. Wont get into politics of whatever groups behaviour but in these times there should be heightend awareness of possible incidents.
People are absolutely stupid for posing with the restless horse on the sidewalk while the soldier is trying to maintain control. Horses can trample, kick, etc. and these people are still standing for a pic. Move! Absolutely astounding to watch.
All praise to the lady trooper who managed contain the horse back to the box on a number of occasions. disgraceful tourist who had no respect and just kept getting their pictures regardless of the situation.
The horses certainly do not like certain group of tourists who scream in an agitated way shouting others how to take their photos .In many cases it is this that starts the unsettled behaviour with the horses. last week was very bad. Nobody came out to help no police!! As luck would have it two lady MOUNTED police coming alone the road saw the chaos & took charge to disperse rabble.
I have to say that the MOD police officers that are on duty for the past several weeks haven't been up to par when it comes time to clearing the yard and watching over the guards at the front!! We need the others back that were on it!!

Billings Montana USA Hi John
Their parents must be so very proud.
As a security precaution the police has to rotate as it is seen as people seem to get familiar with the officers faces thats why they are rotated.

Allô John from Québec 👋
good afternoon john oh dear poor horse not fun when they have a meltdown nice to see the twin horse controlling her horse without falling off
Guards might need a brolly when the pigeons are overhead. 😂
The horse knows THAT group is there 😅
When the horse is having a meltdown, people should allow him to calm down before they run up to take a stupid picture!
Geezz to many people
On our left was Viper, who swapped with beautiful mare Romalia on our right.
This lady trooper looks so tiny up there on this beautiful horse
Hard to believe idiots just stand there and have to be told to move when horse is pissed off.

Ministry of Defence . Horse Guards is a military property they are there for security and antiterrorism .
Wonder if the twins have any previous horse experience
Omg way to many people in yard ,asking for trouble they need to cut numbers .

Why's it called the haunted box?
It seems quite often the horses are bothered by how something was put in their mouths. 🤷🏻♀️
That is one unhappy horse the on the left. Must be the box spooking it up again
Bravo to the Guard!! Excellent skills so the horse responds beautifully.
Complete ignorance on the part of the Torons. Major brain dead people.
People look so stupid holding up their phones. Buy some nice postcards.

Yes John where were the police? Should of been done before the horses came out. Sorry but,think they are to laid back. Come on do your job.
What not again. I really feel sorry for the guards with these sort of people. There should be something done
What tiny girls !
There are probably some pockets there also
Well done to police officers on horseback ,good job by guard horse dosent like crowds .
John they really don’t like that box do they
Oh the horse is unsettled, let me stand here and stare as a 1000 lb. Plus animal is having a fit!!!! Some peoples kids!
Where are the police officers I don't think I've seen any out front?
I am an American watching and I don't approve of the way some Americans behave in another country and I am sorry.
And what the hell is that warning sign doesn't look like anything !! What is it haunted by !??
It appears as if that horse has desided to let everyone know that box is his. Stay out
