Respect to the King's Guard & the beautiful horses for putting up with inconsiderate and ignorant people. I don't understand how they do maintain their cool so well.
From the videos I've seen I think it looks like wilful ignorance more than cruelty. People are weird. Like, FFS, there's a sign there saying they can bite and 'Dont touch the rims'.

Yes Guards and Horses do a thankless task, day in, day out. No wonder the horses occasionally refuse to work! (From a horse point of view it would be ok if they brought treats but its not allowed so once in a while they just dont want to work).
Fines would be a good idea anyone that does something as stupid as walking through the sentry box or generally being bloody pain should be fined, the only thing these idiots know is money probably wouldn't want to do it again.
As a British and American citizen, I am tired and ANGERED at the STRESS the guards horses are put through during their "watch" by thoughtless and cruel sightseers wanting that photo that they will never look at again once they have reached their homeland!!!
I agree. I am American with recent British ancestry. I personally do not feel the tourists should be allowed so close for photo ops. No good reason for it. We visited Buckingham palace a few years ago. We took pics from the outside of the gates, out of respect.
Sadly, people are either to self-centered or stupid, maybe both, to recognize that it's not an amusement park, and the horses and soldiers are working.
You do realize that the whole guard & horsies show has no other purpose than to make tourists flock and take pictures right ? Look at the heavily armed policemen who perform the REAL security duties. Who needs the show and pageant stuff? The PALACE, that is: they are the ones who count on them to uphold their image and make money out of the millions who visit royal venues every year. Royal Palace authorities know perfectly well that horses and guards are stressed and verbally abused. Animal and human health casualties are inscribed in the debit column. Unfortunately they count for nothing next to the hundreds of million £ they generate in revenue. It’s more formal than a Broadway or Vegas show, but it amounts to the same thing. At least Broadway and Vegas don’t subject animals to that stressful circus.
I really enjoy watching the traditional actions of the Guards. Such a shame that people don’t continue traditions. No respect for their ancestors and what they did for them. These horrible tourists should not be allowed to get within 10 feet of the guards
I think something needs to change as you only can take so much. Bless the Soldiers and Horses a good job well done. Beers and Carrots all around THANKYOU X
As someone who was born in the UK, I hate tourists. All of them. Unless a tourist can prove to me that they're respectful, then I'm staying away from them.
I was also born in the UK but have lived in Australia for decades so if I visit Britain am I a tourist or a local? The problem with emphatic and reductive statements, you see, is that there's tricky counterexamples. May you never go abroad and be a tourist in someone else's country because you come across as an intolerant and entitled snot.
Can't say I blame you. Greetings from USA. Actually I study with a group on utube from Mercyside and would love to relocate and be part of their community. They are called The Almond Tree
ScpDrRisha, I can completely understand how you feel. I'm from the USA.... and probably will never get the chance to experience all the wonderful things that the UK has to offer. That said, not all tourists are rude & disrespectful. There are some good & decent people out there that do the right thing. So, please don't assume that everyone is that way.
What did the woman get entering the box…..a good shouting but did she get admonished by the police at the other end, probably not. That’s what she deserved, a good telling off by the police.
She should have had a good talking to and told to leave the premises. No reprimand means she can do as she pleases and to hell with the king’s guards and the police.
I feel so sad for these horses and the guards. Both are doing their jobs. The horse is an extremely sensitive animal and not a statue for anyone to touch them. And, being partially enclosed in the doorway could be a potential danger to both the horse and guard. I would be happy to see that no contact with the horses, and no pictures beside them were allowed period. Only taking pictures of the guard and horse. They both deserve respect.
I am a South African who has visited the United Kingdom a few times. These are dedicated hardworking Soldiers and Horses of the Kings Guards. They are highly trained and skilled Soldiers. Whilst they may look spectacular to watch performing their important duties, they are not a " performance act " in any way! Give them the respect they deserve!
@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 I'm always hoping my fellow Americans would realize that these are soldiers in their dress uniforms. We are quick to thank our soldiers for their service because we typically see them in their camouflage and realize they are "real soldiers". They need to know these are real soldiers too.
Not sure it was this particular channel but I mentioned some weeks back that the signs need updating to include 'Don't touch the reins' Great to see this has finally happened👍
Tourist think they know everything but they don't do has they are told yet again and being told off by the police officer and the Kings guards and still holding the reins or get in the way thanks the kings guards and police officer as well
This tourist knows she doesn't know everything-only a drop in the bucket. You Tube, books and the internet are a big help educating me. Still newcomers shouldn't be expected to know as much as the locals. However common sense helps.
People are stupid. If you don't know the rules or the law you don't just go wading in. You ask or research the protocol. The polite thing to do, would be to ask permission to touch the horse, even though they can. They cannot touch the reins, bridle etc, that is when they're shouted at. When I go abroad, I research the country I'm going to, to make sure I don't break any laws or protocol. I wish certain arrogant foreigners would do the same when visiting My Country
I’m from America and I love watching the Guards and Royal Horses.❤. Gorgeous and very Regal.. I also love Prince William and Princess Catherine along with their beautiful children..
In this world of modern technology surely it is possible to fit ALL of the guards with 2 way radios, such as those worn by the police, so communication is possible at all times. Enables faster decision making by senior officers in, heaven forbid, the event of an emergency.
The regular TH-camrs who film there often fetch the police if any guards are being harassed by tourists. . . Buskainthepark did it for one of the sentries a few months ago. Kudos to him.

@@blitzmom2674 I was referring to the HCMR Personnel, the Police Officers, any child that is unfortunate to be at Horse Guards with an incompetent adult etc etc
The horses on duty at Horseguards are extremely well cared for, so rest assured. The Guard would never allow them to be put at risk and if need be, would take action to ensure that wouldn't happen. Britain is a nation of animal lovers, as it would appear are visitors from around the globe and personally speaking I love that. The Household Cavalry horses are trained to cope with lots of people and lots of noise and they do that very well, with some actually appearing to enjoy the attention they get. I'm just incredibly grateful that we have these wonderful animals and very patient, professional Guards. They're a credit to their Regiment and it's a privilege to have this window into their professional and dutiful lives.
I think the police are too lax, they should be policing the change more aggressively and arresting those who cannot or do not listen to what they are told for their own safety
Some of those police are not doing the job very good lately. Some of them are ignoring the stupid tourists and letting them get away with all sorts of the rules, the Guards are sometimes having to do their job too, while they stand doing nothing.
The police are MOD police there for security reasons of the property behind the gates which is MOD property in case of any suspected terrorism . They are not there for crowd control stopping tourists touching the horses or reins they do assist at change over and if the Trooper shouts at someone .
@@carolcox8968 90% standing around talking, 10 percent doing something. I don't think the horses should be out there, or if there, behind a line the tourists can not cross. This is just animal cruelty to let a bunch of effing tourists fling hands, hair, cameras, at horses.

There is clear signage regarding the horse and the reins. Using ones intelligence that could also mean 'don't keep sidestepping towards the horse whilst getting the photo'.
They're doing their job, which is to guard the castle and everyone inside. If they were carrying on conversations they wouldn't be focused on their jobs.
I have had horses all my lives and thats 60 plus years I have been riding. These stupid tourists dont realise that even much smaller horses can pick them up by the back of the jacket and basically toss you aside like litter. I had it done to me as a kid and believe me, it doesnt stretch the horse (or pony) to do this. Theyre lucky these horses are well trained because, like Police horses, they are very capable at crowd control and in different times would be called War Horses because that is the basic function of these beautiful horses.
There are some really dense, oblivious people around ! Nice to see the Guards 💂 and horses again 🐴 - they never fail to make a good impression on the sightseer.
They’re like Pavlovs Dogs, they’re conditioned to act on the clock chiming and the bell ringing. Sadly though, some are better at counting than others! 🤪😜
Hi jimmy i thought tonight was very good just keep the good stuff coming . and thank you so much for the hard work you do for us ramblers i enjoy it so much UTR
Tourists act like they are at Disneyland!! I would love to come and see all of this but because of these people I just couldn't do it. It would be embarrassing to watch them.
Can people stop all this rubbish about putting the horses and guards behind barriers and having painted floors that they can't cross. This has been happening for centuries and im sure the guards are more than capable of dealing with some idiots. 🇬🇧
These horses always appear miserable. Something, maybe the bit seems uncomfortable. I don't think it's right to force these animals to stand in these small spaces with people constantly bothering them.
Can't believe the public is allowed so close to the horses and think they should have to stand behind barriers. Would think most of them have never been that close to a living breathing horse so of course they don't understand how to behave. Cant understand why they have to be in the actual picture. A picture of that magnificent beast and the guard surely should be enough. All the nonsense that goes on when the crowd has to be moved when there is a guard change, etc wouldnt have to happen if the crowd was corralled at all times.
as a rider you need to control and fix your rein problems yourself, glad another was there to help you. Horses have to work for the food just like people otherwise there would be no use for horses and that means they would be gone Gone. Nothing wrong with them standing there getting the pictures taken as long as the people stand at a distance and dont touch without permission and it doesn't hurt the horses either. just like my horses, they can stand there for hours in one place and most time just fall asleep. The four legged guards can move around if the wish. why wasnt that lady arrested?
The guards were screaming on their horses and thats why some of the horses got scared. Plus the horses need exercise everyday. They get sick of just standing there for pictures with tourists. If tourists want to see horses. Than they should see them at the stables and training in the riding arena. At least some guards knew how to ride. Also, it would be better if they ride older horses with more experience in riding. You can't just take any horse, if its green/young or not. You must know which horses are safe for the guards to ride in the city full of tourists. Also, the bits that all the horses were wearing were too strong on their mouth. Horses can look good with other softer bits too if that's what you're looking for. If someone watching this video is an equestrian like me. They would know what is actually the truth. It is not just the tourist's fault. Its actually 50%. Also, the way that the guards dismounted is completely wrong. Never dismount with one foot in the stirrup because the horse could spook at something and run off. In specialy if you're riding a young one. Allways make sure that your both feet are out of the stirrups when you dismount for your own safety. Don't forget that you get these opinions from equestrian that have years of experience with horses.🐎 Thank you for reading 🎉
I really don’t understand the fascination people have with trying to-touch and take pictures especially when it’s clear that the horses are agitated and don’t want to be touched, it clearly states the risk of being kicked or bitten!
If someone is going to another country, why would they do something so rude & disrespectful? I'm an American, & never been to Great Britian, but even I know what's acceptable behavior and what's not. These men are brave for what they do, they have to deal with these idiots. I have so much respect for them.
I think one of the problems is a some tourists think that these soldiers are fake, and that they are actors dressed in fantasy uniforms just for the entertainment of the public like in Disneyland. They don’t seem to realise the soldiers are serving members of the armed forces carrying out ceremonial duties. They are proud to carry out these duties, and should be given respect, not treated like a fantasy character!
I imagine these soldiers take great pride in their job but must dread having to endure this gormless behaviour! 🤦

Looks like one of the new horses returned to the stable as well.
Hi jimmy i thought tonight was very good just keep the good stuff coming . and thank you so much for the hard work you do for us ramblers i enjoy it so much UTR
Tourists act like they are at Disneyland!! I would love to come and see all of this but because of these people I just couldn't do it. It would be embarrassing to watch them.
why would they want to walk through the horse much when there's a perfectly good wide gate open.
It's about time they stopped tourism at the palace. These tourists don't need to go anywhere near the guards.
Is it true that the horses have now been fenced of from the public ? Question asked Feb 2024.
Ahh... For it not to be too hot and sunny at noon, must make it comfortable for both the horse and the guard.
1:03 Legend say's that she is still in there was never sawn or came back out ever again no one knew what happened to her.
😂
She’s probably locked up in MI-6’s HQ.
They have alot of Police and guards and none of them are doing anything to protect the horse and guard from that laughing Karen WOW AND DOUBLE WOW
Ten minutes show for Nothing !!!
You clicked on it.
Three idiots used the box as a gate to exit the courtyard. So insane and disrespectful! 😠
Leve the horses alone there not a freak show !!
Les touristes ne respectent plus rien 😢
Those horses HATE those bits, don't they!
There should be official, fixed cameras. And arrests for animal harassment.
Walking through horses poof! SERIOUSLY!
It’s only plant matter, unlike dogs.
This isn't a petting zoo!! These horses are working,!
The Guards appear be there mainly for the tourists and photo ops, while the police and solders are there to do the real work.
Guards and Horses should be respected and not be made a spectacle of.
Oh to have that sabre in my hand and NOT use it.......
The tourists are happy to be there as I imagine myself. Take pictures for souvenir without realize any danger from the horse kicked😃
Can people stop all this rubbish about putting the horses and guards behind barriers and having painted floors that they can't cross.
This has been happening for centuries and im sure the guards are more than capable of dealing with some idiots. 🇬🇧
I guess the guards having to put up with dumb tourists must be a test. A test of patience.
These horses always appear miserable. Something, maybe the bit seems uncomfortable. I don't think it's right to force these animals to stand in these small spaces with people constantly bothering them.
Off duty they have a pretty pampered life and holidays to the seaside once a year.
That’s their job. Do you like your job every day?
Can't believe the public is allowed so close to the horses and think they should have to stand behind barriers. Would think most of them have never been that close to a living breathing horse so of course they don't understand how to behave. Cant understand why they have to be in the actual picture. A picture of that magnificent beast and the guard surely should be enough. All the nonsense that goes on when the crowd has to be moved when there is a guard change, etc wouldnt have to happen if the crowd was corralled at all times.
Horses saying to each other: Thank God that’s over!
as a rider you need to control and fix your rein problems yourself, glad another was there to help you. Horses have to work for the food just like people otherwise there would be no use for horses and that means they would be gone Gone. Nothing wrong with them standing there getting the pictures taken as long as the people stand at a distance and dont touch without permission and it doesn't hurt the horses either. just like my horses, they can stand there for hours in one place and most time just fall asleep. The four legged guards can move around if the wish. why wasnt that lady arrested?
Is there something about the bit that is bothering the horse?
People are tired of life...Jesus 😮😮
The guards were screaming on their horses and thats why some of the horses got scared. Plus the horses need exercise everyday. They get sick of just standing there for pictures with tourists. If tourists want to see horses. Than they should see them at the stables and training in the riding arena. At least some guards knew how to ride. Also, it would be better if they ride older horses with more experience in riding. You can't just take any horse, if its green/young or not. You must know which horses are safe for the guards to ride in the city full of tourists. Also, the bits that all the horses were wearing were too strong on their mouth. Horses can look good with other softer bits too if that's what you're looking for. If someone watching this video is an equestrian like me. They would know what is actually the truth. It is not just the tourist's fault. Its actually 50%. Also, the way that the guards dismounted is completely wrong. Never dismount with one foot in the stirrup because the horse could spook at something and run off. In specialy if you're riding a young one. Allways make sure that your both feet are out of the stirrups when you dismount for your own safety. Don't forget that you get these opinions from equestrian that have years of experience with horses.🐎
Thank you for reading 🎉
I really don’t understand the fascination people have with trying to-touch and take pictures especially when it’s clear that the horses are agitated and don’t want to be touched, it clearly states the risk of being kicked or bitten!
About time the public was kept at a distance from the horses who must get fed with constantly being man handled. They are on duty!
Oh but I’m special. I’ll just through the horse box since you have the gate closed and I want to go through
Instead of having one sign on the wall, they should have a big notice board saying BEWARE in most languages not just English.
The title of the video always makes me watch but I get disappointed almost every time. This was no exception.
The horses know when change of the guard is coming.
If someone is going to another country, why would they do something so rude & disrespectful? I'm an American, & never been to Great Britian, but even I know what's acceptable behavior and what's not. These men are brave for what they do, they have to deal with these idiots. I have so much respect for them.
I think that there should be fines for people that are rude and ignorant and can't behave. And be Banned for good.
Getting behind a horse especially a skiddish one is like playing Russian Roulette.
So sorry for those wonderful and well trained horses who have to cope with a few narcisistic A-hole tourists. Sorry for the guards as well.
The public should not be allowed SO CLOSE to the guards can't they read th warning sign Make it larger
I have seen so many Guards and horses harrassed by people it's maddening and I'm not British.
It is clear that every effort should be made not to piss them off.
I don't like when tourist walked in the wrong door that she ignore the policeman. It seem guard asked soldier to help horse, it was helpful.
I think one of the problems is a some tourists think that these soldiers are fake, and that they are actors dressed in fantasy uniforms just for the entertainment of the public like in Disneyland. They don’t seem to realise the soldiers are serving members of the armed forces carrying out ceremonial duties. They are proud to carry out these duties, and should be given respect, not treated like a fantasy character!
How beautiful
These magnificent horses put up with an awful lot from the public don't they...
THESE MOUNTS DESERVE MORE RESPECT THAN THE KINGS GUARDS.
