Looks like the umbrellas the horse doesn't like to many of them. It makes a person look bigger in there eyes and threatening. Guard handled that well. So many people.
That Lady in the Crowd who you can hear talking does a wonderful job talking and explaining why the Horses get upset. Am I right in thinking I can hear a Yorkshire acceni
@@jeanettelister5835 except that most of the time she’s talking codswallop! For a start there are 17 stables at Horse Guards, originally there were indeed 62 but that was back in 17something or other! Still, if it makes her day to sound as if she knows what’s what to her adoring audience then why not?! 😂😂
I had a very smart gelding too, he would have cleared all the idiots out, then backed in there after they learned to not crowd or touch him. He was one smart horse !!
I’m not sure that giving in to the horse constitutes ‘full control’ tbh! Horses can be like children, if you reward bad behaviour you just perpetuate it; the horse now knows that if it kicks up a fuss it’ll go back to its stall and scoff hay!
About a month ago there was one who didn't want to come out of the guard shack and it was mentioned that they were new to the guard....might be the same one?
He goes to his stall every hour for a couple of hours rest. They have to stand there for one hour, then they go back in the stall for a bit and come out again
Probably the umberella more than the rain. Horses absolutely don't care about the weather.. They are essentially wild animals, even on our farm our fields have shelters but majority of the horses prefer to stand in the pissing rain.
I don’t believe it’s weather. We have had horses in pasture with rain. Sleet, snow. They can choose if they want to go to a barn. Most wanted to stay in pasture
@@user-ho7mg9ol7w mate if the horse doesn't want to listen or do what they want him to do his not doing it as you can see the horse had control not the life guard or the solider mate if the horse what's to get very angry there's nothing they could do to stop it 👍 🇦🇺

nice to see that guard tried to help his guardsman/lady out then a personel came out ! love how that guard stood by waiting to see if he could help asides the rider keeping calm
I find this heartbreaking.They still have to stand around taking film of a frightened horse,all those umbrellas might have spooked him or her. I know people find them fascinating but there must be some kind barrier to stop them getting so close.
The horses are very well trained. But they have a bad shift of work, like everyone. They are there for an hour, and they enjoy being pet and scratched. Just don't touch the reigns.
Otilia Cabrita, I do as well. They do so good while standing there, with all the people, noise, hands moving around their faces and just being harassed by tourists who may not understand about these beautiful creatures. This is my hope. That they get to go out for a nice run after standing guard so patiently. Their riders need to be commended as well. I know they must train long hours for this, but their patience is damn good.
@@mau1558 I'm not familiar with London but I'm fairly certain there's no fields.. You also can't turn out a horse that's kept inside, as the horse will have a high chance of getting certain conditions, laminitis and colic, both can be fatal. Colic has about a 80-90% fatality rate. You only have a chance to cure it if the horse is young, you catch it early and you get immediate vet treatment. Basically what it is, is the intestines of the horse twisting. Their organs just float about with nothing really keeping them in place, there's also grass sickness. Some grass has a for simple terms we'll say different make up which can cause the horse to become ill, there's also the risk of parasite worms.. As with our fields, the field itself is fine, the grass on the verge outside the field is not. We have caught people picking grass and feeding it to the horse, then the horse got sick. The horse in the same field for 10 years was perfectly fine, and only after people hand fed it from outside field grass did it get sick. There was also a little girl that hung off the face of a horse.. I went mental at the family, as a child I was in a similar situation.. at a riding school I had just had a lesson, leaving I went to pet this horse in a field on the way to the car (I was about 5) the horse proceeded to grab me, drag me over barbed wire into the field, charge around whilst holding onto the back of my jumper, tossed me around, trampled on my stomach, and then my mother came flying over screaming and wafting her arms to get the horse away. So I absolutely never touch or feed anyomes horse without permission now. I expect the same from people with mine, he absolutely does bite and kick. Theres no "may" about it like these horses.
@@Kat-mu8wq I didn't mean for them to be turned out on their own. I meant that either the guard or a groom/trainer would take them out and exercise them, so they could release some of the energy that they've so patiently controlled. I do understand about colic and founder. We had a horse that would founder.
Umbrellas are a nightmare to a horse. They cant see immediately infront of them. They have periphial vision. Poor horse. Glad they removed him from the public madness. He will have some comforting hay, and straw to lie on. Probably a young horse overwhelmed. 🤔🌱
Those horses are absolute saints. All the different things going on, weird things like brollies and not to mention all the people who interact with them. This horse had a wobble it happens and the key is the guards knew not to push the situation.
In this day and age making these horses stand there while many tourists taunt them is surly horse cruelty. When this first started people had respect for horse and mount but not any more. Unfortunately men from other lands and silly teenage girls seem to be the main culprits. Why can't they stand inside the fence. Its obvious by their behaviour that the horses hate it. This is one tradition that needs to change and I'm a Londoner born just up the road.
I’m guessing it was raining since a lot of people have umbrellas that might be the reason why the horse was spooked but amazing job keeping that horse calm without getting anyone hurt!
I wouldn't say that was a freaked horse that needed 3 people to wrestle it. He was a little out of sorts but the rider did well to keep control. Perhaps when the horses play up the guard or the Police should tell the crowd to move right back out if the way incase the horse really does go troppo. That would be a dangerous situation.
They weren't wrestling him . They were only two involved the mounted trooper abd the dismounted trooper in basic fatigues . They nearly did it to but he was unsettled . Well done both. He certainly knew where he wanted to be ..
@@ianrimmer7469 The title was needed 3 guards to wrestle freaked out horse. I said it wasn't freaked out just a bit unsettled and if it did freak out the crowd needs to be moved out the way. So I don't get your comment.
@@kerrystonec2485 So how many in contact with the horse? And the certainly weren't wrestling it.. I don't get ykur comment which wasnt evident when I posted..
@@ianrimmer7469it was 1 soldier who took control of the bridle to get him back in but the horse was upset for some reason. He wasn't freaked out and he was led back into the stables to avoid any other possible mishaps that could harm the tourists. Don't understand what you don't understand about what I said. All is good no one hurt...horse gone to have a break. Simple and easy.
i think the only reason the horse shied away like that was because of the crowd that happened to be around at the time. i'm glad nobody got hurt and that the horse went willingly back with the guard and the soldier on foot to the stable so that he could calm down and not have to deal with the noisy crowd and all that milling around out in the cold rain like that
Ma non vedono il cavallo è stanco vuole andare via perché costringerlo e guardia poveretta gira a sinistra gira a destra il soldato cerca di aiutare ma il cavallo non vuole tornare dentro ma! Sei bravo mia guardia con simpatia🤗🤗🤗🌈🙋♂️💕
He was really spooked about something. The guards handled it very quickly and the horse was having none of it! Thank you for removing him from the post.
That horse weighs in excess of 1,000 pounds. If it really freaked out it would be a disaster for the rider and the horse. Good work calming it down and taking it back to the barn.
One on the horse, one in camouflage, one standing by. You do know the soldiers in camouflage are Guards too? On the battlefield, these men are amongst Britain's elite.
Used to a certain amount of it because of the training in the barracks. They were the ones pulling the gun carriages as well as having the Calvary riding them.
Has anyone ever asked a horse how they felt going into battle and pulling big guns, and standing out there with all those thick ignorant tourists mauling them and taking pictures.
@@verali164 well some of them obviously love the tourists because they put their heads down for a scratch. One in particular loves women and especially children & very gently puts its head towards the child ❤️. It's beautiful to see 🥰
well neighter did the horse "freak out" nor was there a "wrestle"...the horse had a problem with the dark hole to stand in and maybe was a little overwhelmed with the crowd...so the groom takes it's reins and gently brings it to the stables...absolute professional horsemanship and a quiet, understanding handling of a tired horse.
No wonder even the most well-trained Guard horses get frantic from time to time... with the bunch of stupid folk scurrying around them all the time! As if they had never seen a horse before...
Probably have never seen a real live horse, just what is shown on TV. I've heard people comment on just how big a horse is. That horse looked to be about 16 hands, or in layman's terms 5 and a half feet at the shoulder. That doesn't include the neck and head which is another 3 feet, so it can be understandable for non-horse people to be in awe of their size.
@@brendacarlton48 - Uhh... you're telling me, you've never touched a horse in your entire life? - Is England really already that de-naturalized? (By the way, I can't do anything with the British length specifications.) And silly me, I always thought of England as the European motherland of equestrian sports... For me this is unimaginable, since I grew up with horses, these absolutely lovable and extremely social creatures, and have been riding since childhood. Okay... Your statement explains a lot. All the more these people should keep their distance from the horses.
@@natonatter How the heck should I know about England's measurement standards? I'm an American, born and raised. I'm also a horsewoman so yes, I've handled plenty of ponies and horses. It's not so unusual for people to have no contact with farm animals, I've known plenty of "city folk" who had never even seen a live chicken, let alone a horse. Sad, but true.
@@natonatter many of the tourists are not British. And the height specification is standard British and American and many other countries height specifications, especially the Hand, which dates back to olden days of being the average length between thumb and little finger of a grown man. So, I am not sure why you get bothered by a logical remark. Unfortunately,.many peoples around the.world have never seen a horse up close in person. Just like many have.never seen the ocean. That is a sad fact of modern life.
Oh, I'm by no means bothered by a logical remark, @@tkralva.6668 I only explained that I cannot calculate with the British length specifications. This is because we continental Europeans have been measuring and calculating with a metric system since Napoleon. Well... dealing with "ft" for flight altitude and nautical miles/knots for distance and speed is not unfamiliar to me as a former pilot. But that was a West German peculiarity that arose from the American occupation period and later accession to ICAO and NATO. - Our "enemy pilots" (and later fellow pilots) in the GDR flew with the metric system until 1990 and had to relearn after the GDR joined the FRG...
Maybe it was weather related like thunder or lightning I had a horse there was no riding in bad weather and if caught out in it I had a fight on hand there natural instinct is to get inside period
I think this title is a bit misleading! The horse wasn't really freaked, just a bit unnerved or fed up. It just didn't want to be on duty by the looks of it . If it was totally freaked, it wouldn't have gone calmly back to the stable. I think this was a case of horse 1 - guards 0 😂. Btw, they also weren't wrestling the horse and it was only the guard riding the horse and the one in combats trying to lead it back in that really had 'hands on'. Using misleading titles for more views won't do you any favours!
That whole courtyard should be closed off to the general public for the safety of the soldiers and horses this is still a active facility The tourists are nothing but a pain in the ass
Who'd have thunk? A move-all-the-time-flight-animal is not taking to standing in front of a crowd in a shroud. Maybe guitar needs to move to WAKE UP its body parts.
Maybe if the bloody crowd didn't get too close or loud these beautiful animals wouldn't react this way. Put up signs - DO NOT GET WITHIN 1 METRE OF HORSE AND GUIDE. DEFINITELY DO NOT TOUCH EITHER.
Poor horse! He has to stand there in the cold rain, just stand there. He is a horse and should be in a pasture running free not chained up to some boojie palace guard. Whose idea was it to try and make a horse stand in one place for hours?
Well done too the rider for keeping so calm and the Soldier who helped. Something must have spooked him . ❤️🏴
Yeah annoying people. I would freak out also.
I think all the umbrellas were spooking him.
Yeah a bunch of knobheads
They tried but he wanted away . Something spooked him
Just decided he had enough for that day

Maybe it was weather related like thunder or lightning I had a horse there was no riding in bad weather and if caught out in it I had a fight on hand there natural instinct is to get inside period
Damn people won't even get out of the way for the guard!
I feel so sorry for the horses , and so much pride for the Queen s guards...and so much disgust for the stupid tourists.
You are asking a horse to back in an enclosed space & he doesn't want to.
Hello pretty lady how are you doing today
I'm glad they where able to keep the horse undercotr
Imo either it was time to go home or not, the horse just had enough and coul 't wait any longer to go back to the stables.
Hello pretty lady how are you doing

Umbrellas can be spooky to a horse.
Power animal!!
0:12 Horse, seemed to freak out right after matey, in uniform, stamped on the concrete.
I think this title is a bit misleading! The horse wasn't really freaked, just a bit unnerved or fed up. It just didn't want to be on duty by the looks of it . If it was totally freaked, it wouldn't have gone calmly back to the stable. I think this was a case of horse 1 - guards 0 😂. Btw, they also weren't wrestling the horse and it was only the guard riding the horse and the one in combats trying to lead it back in that really had 'hands on'. Using misleading titles for more views won't do you any favours!
I wanna go home. No, you stand here. Let me go home.
The horse was having a bad day. He didn’t want to deal with anything
I would be freaked out too, with all those freaking tourists around me.
Poor animal!!!!!😢😢😢😢😢
All those monstrous umbrellas should not be suffocating the horses space. It's raining, sounds are louder as well.
Very interesting 😊
The horses must not like the rain. I noticed a-lot of the freak outs happens when it’s raining.
Sometimes the horse says "nah bruh not today I wanna go in".
hate the way the public just stand so close with no respect for horse or man. They are not freaks to be stared at.
Hello pretty lady how are you doing today
Keep the tourists at least 10 feet away from the guards and the horses. There is no need to be any closer.
Some of us only have 2 meters blurred tunnel vision in one eye.
Pobres caballos, los acosan y se ponen nerviosos que molestia son esos turistas.😢😢😢😢😢
😮😮😮😮 Did this horse also been grounded like the other one
Think it's time to retire all horses OR better still, keep all tourists away from them
Well, if the horse was freaked, rather than spooked, can't blame the horse a bit.
To many people around me so let me go back inside
That whole courtyard should be closed off to the general public for the safety of the soldiers and horses this is still a active facility
The tourists are nothing but a pain in the ass
The horse didnt want to go into a dark "cave".
These people have zero respect or love for animals.Disgraceful.
What 3 guards ? There was only two. The guard on the horse & the soldier in uniform that led him away.
Who'd have thunk?
A move-all-the-time-flight-animal is not taking to standing in front of a crowd in a shroud.
Maybe guitar needs to move to WAKE UP its body parts.
Maybe if the bloody crowd didn't get too close or loud these beautiful animals wouldn't react this way. Put up signs - DO NOT GET WITHIN 1 METRE OF HORSE AND GUIDE. DEFINITELY DO NOT TOUCH EITHER.
Boh !
Poor horse! He has to stand there in the cold rain, just stand there. He is a horse and should be in a pasture running free not chained up to some boojie palace guard. Whose idea was it to try and make a horse stand in one place for hours?
Too many people there
Some days it's a bit too much for horse and guard.
Stay the guards, all day long, on foot. Not the animal!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Ni.....lloviendo.. ...dejan ...de molestar ...a los guardias ...y caballos.....🤷🤷🤷
There are too many milling around the horse
If you have nothing to do...go do it other place..not hindering the horses
