      Blinkers are used when horses are super aware of what is around them. Their eyes are obviously on the side of their head. Keeps them focused

    The horse is wearing a fly mask. It shields the horse from the sunlight, from insects, or other irritation that could harm them. It would offer full, if filtered, protection.

      The popularity of Horse Guards has in some ways led to this happening , including unfortunately what happened with the horses back in April . There will always be those waiting for something to happen and catch it on film as happened when the horse fell . I hope as you say John there will be a crackdown sooner rather than later . As you've said previously a licence and fee after a full background check .

      @kathellison8084 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @John-G - Yes I know , but as it was horses of The Household Cavalry and attracted massive media and public attention as they are at Horse Guards daily filming there would be a way to possibly catch something happening which would attract views to their channels , as they're unlikely to go to see the horses being exercised on the street .

    Blinkers in the USA are called blinders. Over here they are used for horses not to be overstimulated by blocking what they can see on their sides and rear. That keeps them calmer and more focused on what is ahead of them.

    Eye irritation of some type would cause them to put blinkers on so that it does not get worse! Also could be a vision problem or the horse could be head shy on that side from sustaining an injury or being hit repeatedly, or bitten.

    Hi John, in one of your recent videos, I had a couple of thoughts 🤔 I was thinking about how you noticed some of the guards returned sporting beards and I was just wondering if may be they grew the beards as a barrier for the strap across their chins. I imagine in warm weather they sweat and it could irritate the skin. I can't wear a watch in the summer because I sweat and breakout on my wrist. So I was just wondering. Either way the guards look good as always 😊
    The other thing is have you ever watched the US soldiers who guard the tomb of the unknown soldier? It kind of reminds me of the kings guard. They can get after people as well. I was surprised to see they march in the rain, through snow 😲
    What training and discipline the guards and soldiers go through and it is very clear they take great pride in it!
    I grieves me to see the disrespect towards the kings guards and even here in the US at the unknown soldiers tomb. But some people are just ridiculous and there's just no getting around it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    John, I think you did well in stepping between Buska and that idiot. It was a risky action. However, as a US citizen and watching this in July, 2024, we are sliding closer to a fascist dictatorship, something I never expected to happen in my, or my children’s, lifetime. We are no longer privileged to step away and allow those threatened by extremists to handle threats by themselves. We must fight, united, against all threats foreign and domestic.

    • @LondonCityWalks

      My videos are long as that is what regular Channel viewers prefer. It's been discussed in previous videos. Moreover, there are plenty of channels posting sensationalist 'tit-bits' with misleading titles for 'views'.

  • @battles146

    John, the horse you mentioned may be going through the mounted police desensitization training program (which all the cavalry mounts go through during their initial training) - Horses have wide peripheral vision because of where their eyes sit in the head and the goal of blinkers is to block the peripheral vision and focus the horse on only looking forward, eliminating any other distractions (Smoke grenades, M-80s, jackhammers, screaming crowds etc) so that when the horse encounters a scary situation, it’ll be less likely to react negatively. "Blinkers" come in many different forms, (Blinkers can be crescent-shaped cups that fit around the eyes of the horse. They are either fitted to the bridle or onto a lycra-style mask that sits under the bridle), including a ear bonnet or fly veil which reduces the sounds when a horse is in a crowded environment which increases concentration of the horse. Loud noisy crowds can distract a horse, make them anxious or even spook them when they need to concentrate the most.
    Perhaps you can find out more about their training program thru the Riding Master, who is responsible for overseeing their training. Initial training after purchase lasts for at least six months, during which the horses remain at Imber Court. The horses are then allocated to a specially trained police officer. They will be sent out to one of the Met’s stables where they will continue their training. The majority of horses are made operational within 18 months.
    Historical Note: It is believed that horse blinders were used all the way back in ancient Greece for chariot racing. Just like they're used today, they were used to keep the horses from being distracted.

    Strange question but are there maintenance people to come out and pick up the horse droppings during the day? I noticed in the last video that the droppings were just inside the front gate where people walk. Not very sanitary. And if so in my opinion (which means nothing) they should be out there after every changing of the guard.

  • @joycehosaflook3755
    @joycehosaflook3755 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I would think it good if a Trooper saw a crowd and spoke loudly before he got there to alert the crowd he was coming, cuz I think lots of time people are obsessed with their phones and know not what is coming which is still wrong in several ways. Too much phone obsession. I am an elder lady and I would much rather watch the Troopers and the horses, and all that, than staring at a phone screen. I have noticed these young people have their perfect smiles down perfect. I always have a goofy smile when I am staring at a camera. I am so old. Wish I was younger. I definitely would visit Horse Guards. Too late for me now though. But am enjoying the Yountube, ESPECIALLY London City Walks.
