      The horses get rotated thru duties here at HorseGuards, and they’re careful to not have them on for too long so they don’t stale. They can be away for several months, not because there’s anything wrong, but just because that’s how their rostered duties/decompression times have worked out.

    Disrespectful tourists have repeatedly sparked anger by ridiculing the King's Guard, and now a reel of videos has emerged showing the numerous times armed police have been forced to step in and stop them.
    In clips posted by UA-camr London City Walks, groups of visitors to Horse Guards Parade are seen mocking and laughing at guards and appearing to try to get them to engage.
    One 'idiot' even tried to grab the reins of a horse, prompting a furious rebuke from the mounted soldier, while in another case a woman was bitten by a mount for getting too close.

    If admission was charged, tourist may be more inclined to think this is a tourist attraction, therefore can act like idiots. Yes, it attracts them, but NOT a 'tourist attraction' but a working military facility. Unfortunately, public shaming just emboldens some members of the herd, their 15 minutes of fame let's say. Could be wrong🤔

    John, the Great Smokey Mountains are in western North Carolina on th eastern range of the Appalacian Mountain system. Th sports team Raptors are a pro basketbll team out of Toronto, on trio.
    The Great Smokies are called that because they are almost always misty and look as if they're smoking.

    I don't believe they're grabbing the reigns because the guards are not shouting. They wanted a reaction and to have it filmed. Pulling the reigns away and moving the horse (which they sometimes do) doesn't have the desired effect.😊

    • @suzerogowicz
      @suzerogowicz 2 місяці тому +17

      Yes...always approach a horse in a calm and cautious manner. And all that screeching and flapping of arms by some tourists, will just make a horse nervous. Their first nature is to run from what they see as danger, and when they can't run, they will often display behaviours that look like aggression.
      Maybe an addition to the signs......

      @@LondonCityWalks Your friend Buska has a video with a group of I think Chinese students , the first ran up to the horse for a photo , Trooper looked at their teacher/guide and said clearly " Slowly slowly " the message was passed on and each one walked quietly and calmly up for their photo .

    Spitfire certainly isn't a spitfire is he 😀. Curious and interested in what's going on . I thought for a moment we were going to have a repeat of a horse pinching the fluffy toy luckily the lady kept it away from him 😊. Tempest I think was bothered by flies/ bugs the camera caught them flying past , that would be why he was stamping irritating him .Towards the end he was just ready to go ! Well done to the media on their report , it's not often I would say that , but in this case they got it spot on 😊. If that couple the MDP were talking to were pickpockets , using a child and buggy ( stroller ) is as low as anyone can get . Still I don't suppose they care ! A long banned list , that's interesting , but after all it's a military barracks ! Thanks John , hope you had a good day off today , see/hear you tomorrow .xxx

      It looks like Tempest is wearing a martingale, are they being used on horses that are 'nippers' ? Love those horses, nippers or not; and the Guards are MAGNIFICENT. Seeing how restless Tempest is I wonder if it is the new martingale that's bothering him, he is not used to the confinement of not being able to stretch his neck to nip !!??

It was of a guard by a sentry box similar to the ones on here. There are two little girls with a small dog and one of the girls is saying "Please mister soldier may we play hide and seek round your kennel" This article was 128 years ago.
