My Grandfather was lead rider Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery, I cannot say what he would have done with these idiots, but his horse came first. No one ever touched his horse without express permission from him. These are gun carriage horses not robots. Please treat them and their riders with the respect they all deserve.
It seems amazing that people go petting the horses without even acknowledging the rider.... Would they pet someone's pitbull or girlfriend without asking ? I sure hope not !
You must be very proud of him and I can't blame him for looking after his horse first, if push comes to shove the soldiers life can depend on their horse
I come from cowboy ranching stock in Wyoming the lack of proper behavior around these horses appalls me. You never ever touch a mounted horse unless the rider gives you permission.
When the soldier in field dress uniform attempted to get the crowds to fall back behind the second white line for the changing of the horse guards, for their own safety by the way, nobody listened to her. Was it just because was a woman? Not until armed police started shouting at them did they move and some still did not do what they told. Unbelievable disrespect!
I don’t think they had manners to begin with. Have you noticed that until one touches the horse no does. Once person touches it like a flood gate is opened.
It has nothing to do with 'manners' or the fact that the guard was a woman... It's just that everything is so haphazard, and poorly organized. One day they'll have one of the guards march over to souvenir stand (much further up from where this guard is), and yell repeated at everyone to get behind the second white line. Other times, the police on duty will do it. Kind of like in this video, but they would not have waited to the last minute...
It was badly organised by the guard - it's up to them if they have one in "field dress uniform" (in this case fancy dress, adding a No2 dress hat) opening and closing gates and telling people what to do or three. In this case they opted for one, a small female with a quiet voice, with inevitable results. Not "disrespect" but just bad organisation and a lack of supervision.
it is not disregard, it is gross disrespect, for the Guards, for the King their duty is to guard, and for British tradition that goes back hundreds of years. while this more be for the benefit of tourists to witness, they are working soldiers, see the medals, and in full dress uniform. !. if you cant be civil on such occasions, just dont go there.
there is no such thing as a female soldier. she is a soldier. the sooner people stop remarking on the sex of females the better. I was a Police officer and know what its like to smash through glass ceilings doing the same job for the same pay and conditions. Stop remarking upon it. She is a soldier and I have no doubt her family are proud of her.
@@jackienesbitt9494 why? they do the same job as males for the exact same pay. Stop remarking upon it and it be be normalised quicker. don;t be part of the enduring problem. please. She is simply a serving member of the British Armed Services and is a soldier.
I think the time has come where the privilege of being able to pat the horses is taken away. Years ago people may have had the manners to ask or even not do it. Todays society think they can do whatever they like.
If you look up information on this group of Guards, there is one page that tells people to NOT touch the horses. I wish I could remember the site, but anyone can Google it, if there is a need to know. I have felt that the horses are working, therefore there should be no touching in the first place, but who am I to say so? I am a nobody, my opinion is only important to me, and that is just fine with me, too.
These horses are so beautiful. I love them all. I would love to see them in real life! But I probably never will so I will continue to watch them on TH-cam!
That's a shame! 😔 There are several videos of them on TH-cam. If you have access to British TV channels you could possibly find some old TV documentaries about them.
Well it interferes with the guards control. What if he had to take off full steam?because of an event? Youd lose your arm in the process and what would happen to the horse and rider ?HE MUST HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL AT ALL TIMES

@@Tony-Plinkett Yep, the MOD police should be organising the tourists better when it comes to switch over time, all they have to do is move the tourists behind the lines a couple of minutes before the hour strikes, it aint rocket science and as you have stated , poorly organised.
They're "trained military", but for those in King's Troop their job and what they're trained to do ceremonial work, public duties, to be a tourist attraction - as long as they're in King's Troop, which is where the vast majority will remain for their time in the Army, that's all they'll ever do - as it is fgor those in HCMR who only stay for four years and don't rotate to HCR and an armoured recce role.
I’m so proud of the female Guard soldier on horseback. I’ m proud of all the Guards & magnificent horses. They deserve great respect for their service.!!
I have to say that I’m in love with these uniforms. The black and gold is Very striking ! I Really love the horses tack better as well. So Bold. ♥️♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦
These kind of tourists need to come over here to the USA and visit our Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. I think their eyes would be opened in a hurry to what respect is. Our guards have 0 tolerance for any sound or touching of any chain barrier. I feel bad for the guards that have to endure such stupidity and disrespect. Love from America.
Again Just watch 12 minutes of this video and no correlation to its title. Just a lot of people getting the photos with the horses (same old Same old) come on get your act together
Yo ya he visto 3 mordidas a manos y 2 mordiscos a pañuelos de cabeza y a continuación tirón y al suelo la turista. Y alguna mordida a mangas del vestido. Así que ojo. Estos caballos no son de madera. 😜👽
The police should help in moving the crowd before the Guards and horses come out. Is that disrespectful for the parents to tell their kids to salute? Do not touch the reins.
It’s not disrespectful for kids to salute. It is awkward depending on their ages though. The police do move the crowd back. But when they go to their stations so they (the cops) are out of the way. The crowd does what the crowd does.
Can I make a suggestion? Instead of producing ever more sensational clickbait titles---which turn people off watching, as they rarely deliver what they promise in "unbelievability"---why don't you just put out your videos titled with the date? E.g. "Morning, 4th July", "Afternoon, 4th July".
Makes me feel uncomfotable. They act like copy cats actually running and pushing to touch and stand beside a horse. Especially when horses cannot be treated that way as sensitive creatures. Its all about look at mee! So childish.
A lot of international tourists don’t understand the signs in written English. Not difficult to put visual red warning signs to show what a tourist can’t do. Everyone understands the visual driving signs, for instance.
This is 2023, there is no excuse for tourists to not look up the protocol for the places they wish to visit. Anyone who will be visiting a country different from their own should WANT to look up information. I would think they don't want to make total idiots of themselves. Obviously, for many tourists, as long as they are happy, the number of peoples' toes, they step on, is not important everything is about them.
Even if I don't understand the language, I would never ever pet an animal without the explicit permission of the owner. And I would for sure not mess with soldiers. I think it's just a question of manners and common sense.
There are so many translation apps available these days that's there's no excuse really. If they have access to a mobile device to take a photo then they have the means to translate the signs.
@@christinepage181 It could very well be :) I will say this, though..in my youth and through my midlife, I had a terrible temper. Now that I'm old (76), it takes an awful lot to make me cranky or angry! There's hope for all of us :)

I’m sure not everyone who visits can read what the sign says or understand what the guards yell at them. I guess just the volume of their commands is understood.
There is no excuse, nearly every single person you see is holding a cell phone, or the person(s) with them is holding one. Most cell phones are capable of taking pictures and there are applications that can "read and translate" the signs. Also, last I knew, in just about any country, as long as you do not interfere with a current law enforcement issue, or interrupt a conversation they are having with someone, you can always ask a police officer. You could always type the words of the sign onto your cell phone online translator. If you can Google or Yahoo! or what ever your search engine is, just look up [translator from {Name of Language of Country You are visiting} translate to (Name of YOUR LANGUAGE)
@@John-G The title has and is used in various ways, so in full, which I failed to do on this occasion, is the Kings Troop Royal Artillery. The horse used by them is the Cleveland Bay, however their colour is varied. As for the Irish draught, and Irish draught crosses, they are certainly used by the regular guards. Chill...
@@Mounhas You all too obviously don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about. The unit's title is the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, and it has been since 24 October 1947 when George V changed it from the Riding Troop, which he'd first named them in April the year before when it was formed. They've never used Cleveland Bays, as the RA and King's Troop sites confirm - always Irish Draught or Irish Draught cross. Repeating rubbish doesn't stop it being rubbish.
It worries me each year the Kings Troop come here while the Guards are away. Someone said they do look young I agree and also in their working day they don't have the horrible contact with the public the Guards have I just hope they are looked after. One the horse's was upset and neighing a lot and made me a bit teary.
They’re all pretty much of an age with a few exceptions, it won’t do them any harm to learn how to deal with the cretin patrol, may come in very useful one day, it’s all part and parcel of life in the army!
Why are so many people allowed to wander around the square when the horse are walking. Some of the elderly Chinese seem a bit dozy or is it thoughtless.
Maybe there are those out there whom still feel women are inferior. Maybe also in certain countries their laws haven’t changed since Christ walked the Earth. 🇬🇧

Welcome to another Click-Bait video, and the chorus of fools who will comment on it, by calling out the tourist for being 'disrespectful' once again.... 🙄
These tourists think this is a petting zoo. These are actual soldiers and military horses on guard duty. Take your freakin’ picture and DON’T TOUCH THE HORSE!
@@fluffylittlebear They are there by choice! They apply to join the mounted units. Every morning they are inspected and the cleanest ones are on the horses, the less tidy ones are on foot.
Some horses don't like being touched on the face, the head and the mouth. Some horses don't like being touched by strangers. They must have a rota of horses that tolerate having strangers with sweaty palms touching them nonstop for an hour.
Are these horses geldings the same as the Irish black horses used by the Lifeguards and Blues and Royals? They seem to be more docile that the black horses.
The horses arent the same. The "black" horses used by the Household Cavalry are bigger. More than likely Irish Draft crosses. Not so long ago Irish Drafts and Cleveland Bays were in danger of becoming extinct but Queen Elizabeth II, in her wisdom, worked hard to utilise both breeds and thus save them. 🙂
@@deborahwylde1410 No, some of the King's Troop horses are Cleveland Bays, usually the wheelers, but most are crosses, part Cleveland Bays / part Irish Draught, and some are Irish Draught / Irish Draught crosses - usually the leaders. As I've tried to explain, you see more Cleveland Bays / Cleveland Bay crosses in the video because of the rank structure - as a general rule, the leaders are ridden by NCOs and the wheelers by gunners / privates, and obviously those on post are all gunners / troopers / privates.
Could anyone please explain to me the different uniforms and what they mean, and when they are worn. For instance,.the winter cloaks in red, black, grey, etc. Thank you.
Well winter is pretty obvious? But these Gunners are all members of Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery. The uniform they wear was in use up until the First World War on a regular basis, also with most line Cavalry regiments, (now Armoured regiments, tanks and the like). You will indeed see a variety of different colours to facings, belts, pouches etc. My regiment, the 14/20th Kings Hussars had a primrose yellow facing and now wear ‘pink’ or cherry red trousers since amalgamating with the Royal Hussars! This is representative of a battle honour awarded quite a few years ago… worth checking out the history?
Firstly and most importantly. What outstanding uniforms. The cleaning and maintenae must be high. Secondly .. those hourses are absalutly beautiful. Next... and bottom of my list .... those torist have not idea what behind line means. Yes a lot of forien visitors but directions clear enough. ..... spelling not miy finest trait so appologies for that.. Keep posting
Yeah. There isn't a paddock in town; although there is a parade grounds near BP (Hyde Park?) where they exercise. The military also has a retirement home for the horses and a large facility in Norfolk UK where there are pastures and a place along the ocean to exercise. Each horse/guard has to stay in the sentry box for one hour two times a week (separated by a day) The horses and their guards get rotated in and out of the facility/ ranch at Norfolk for R & R (Green grass time?) Ha! The guards with the black horses are in Norfolk while this group fills in for them. The group that is resting is going to be in Scotland at some event later this summer. Later this group will be alble to have a holiday in Norfolk (If that is what you call it for a horse)
La mayoría bien jovencitos, ojalá siempre v tengan éxito en su vida. Los papás enseñando a sus hijos la falta de respeto a la guardia real, así que eso va para largo, muchos años. Hasta que no les cierren el paso nunca van a entender , nunca van a dejar de molestar.

She should have stood still, talked louder, and gotten their attention if needed by a 2nd LOUDER "Get Back!" Her casual walk-by was dismissed.
It would be good - speaking as a former soldier - if the guards, male and female - could straighten their backs as they march.
The tan horses don't appear to be as frisky as the black horses. Where was the unbelievable tourist and what was he doing.?
That's because the black horses are Irish Blacks...we Irish are a frisky lot!
@@TisEyerish1 Ah maybe that is why I am quick to rise and have a bad temper, my maternal grandparents were Irish and came from Dublin.👍👍
@@christinepage181 It could very well be :) I will say this, though..in my youth and through my midlife, I had a terrible temper. Now that I'm old (76), it takes an awful lot to make me cranky or angry! There's hope for all of us :)
@@TisEyerish1 I am 74 and I think my friends would say I have always been easy to wind up, a complainer. It depends on what it is that makes me angry, whether I am slow to boil or go straight to bursting point. I wish you well.
@@christinepage181 Recently, two of my sons and their wives ganged up on me and went through a list of What Ticks Mom Off, LOL. It's an expression I use a lot, but I don't really tick off that easily any more. Life is Grand!
I feel nothing but sympathy for the horses.
Overkill with the title!
Always is
What stunning 🐎 horses
I’m sure not everyone who visits can read what the sign says or understand what the guards yell at them. I guess just the volume of their commands is understood.
There is no excuse, nearly every single person you see is holding a cell phone, or the person(s) with them is holding one. Most cell phones are capable of taking pictures and there are applications that can "read and translate" the signs. Also, last I knew, in just about any country, as long as you do not interfere with a current law enforcement issue, or interrupt a conversation they are having with someone, you can always ask a police officer. You could always type the words of the sign onto your cell phone online translator. If you can Google or Yahoo! or what ever your search engine is, just look up [translator from {Name of Language of Country You are visiting} translate to (Name of YOUR LANGUAGE)
That is a very pretty horse!
This beautiful horse looks so sleepy
Geez! Can those people get any closer to the gate? Or to the horses? 😒
Unbelievable!
Ah, the Royal Horse Artillery Troop, always a pleasant change, and their Cleveland Bays. 😊
@@John-G The title has and is used in various ways, so in full, which I failed to do on this occasion, is the Kings Troop Royal Artillery. The horse used by them is the Cleveland Bay, however their colour is varied.
As for the Irish draught, and Irish draught crosses, they are certainly used by the regular guards.
Chill...
@@Mounhas You all too obviously don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about. The unit's title is the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, and it has been since 24 October 1947 when George V changed it from the Riding Troop, which he'd first named them in April the year before when it was formed. They've never used Cleveland Bays, as the RA and King's Troop sites confirm - always Irish Draught or Irish Draught cross. Repeating rubbish doesn't stop it being rubbish.
@@John-G Sorry, but you're wrong. The RHA use Cleveland Bays.
@@Mounhas You are absolutely dead right! 🙂
@@deborahwylde1410 See my other replies.
Как же хочется конюшни посмотреть как там лошади живут) всегда за кадром остается) Девчонки красиво смотрятся на лошадях)
It worries me each year the Kings Troop come here while the Guards are away. Someone said they do look young I agree and also in their working day they don't have the horrible contact with the public the Guards have I just hope they are looked after.
One the horse's was upset and neighing a lot and made me a bit teary.
They’re all pretty much of an age with a few exceptions, it won’t do them any harm to learn how to deal with the cretin patrol, may come in very useful one day, it’s all part and parcel of life in the army!
Don't get upset at the horse neighing,this breed are known for it,its not distress they just do it
@@j.ksmith7432 "useful" for what? For those in King's Troop the closest they'll ever come to a combat zone is firing a ceremonial salute in Hyde Park!
WRONG these are all active serving personally so get your facts right before making derogatory remarks😊😊😊
Lonely for his friend
One we'll behaved horse outstanding 😊
Sheeple see one do it...do it.
Just ONE female tourist turned to thank the guard. Good manners gone.
Why do I feel so sad that they cut this horses mane?
It is much neater and doesn't get in the way when they are pulling the guns.
Because you don't know very much about horses and spent too much time reading My Little Pony.
Please, please. The tourist must be stopped. They are not respecting our guards and the horses. I feel for those guards who have a duty to do.
That uniform is bloody gorgeous .... much nicer than the HC uniform.
Why are so many people allowed to wander around the square when the horse are walking. Some of the elderly Chinese seem a bit dozy or is it thoughtless.
Believe me, a bit of both.
Maybe there are those out there whom still feel women are inferior.
Maybe also in certain countries their laws haven’t changed since Christ walked the Earth. 🇬🇧
I think that was a bit harsh to call that man an idiot, he moved as soon as he was told.
New sign- DONT TOUCH THE HORSES!
It seems to me the police are getting lazier the more I watch these videos. They usually stand in a group talking.
It seems at times that they lean against the walls too!!
What exactly do you expect them to do to pass eight hours. Go there and cause serious trouble and you would soon find out
@@avrilbissell930 You try standing about for an eight hour shift
@@barbaraaldam204 I used to do more then an eight hour shift standing. If we had been caught passing the time of day. We would be told we have to make the time back ..The only time you sat was on the loo. Of course this was in the 50s and 60s I think you are actually allowed breaks now.
Whats wrong with the people, its like moving statues.
What magnificent horses these are and so well trained and the man our elete pity the tourists arnt as well trained
What bothers me is the horses 🐎 try to let the tourists know they don’t want to be bothered.
Missed it !!! What did the tourist do that was wrong ???
I never saw it either
Nothing really he just didn't realise a second guard was coming and slightly got in the way, As usual the people who post these videos make a mountain from a mole hill
Welcome to another Click-Bait video, and the chorus of fools who will comment on it, by calling out the tourist for being 'disrespectful' once again.... 🙄
Awesome horse and guard 😊
Интересно а им цветы дарят? 🤔💐, всё таки Дамы🤷🏼♀️👮♀️💃💐😍
I watched the video from beginning to end, and I didn't see anything happen with any particular tourist. Misleading title for this video.
These tourists think this is a petting zoo. These are actual soldiers and military horses on guard duty. Take your freakin’ picture and DON’T TOUCH THE HORSE!
I these are my favourite of the kings Guards.
I have a question. Do they schedule the ladies and men at different times? Or are they there same times?
Same times, they are all soldiers.
Yes, at least 40% of the Kings Troop RHA is made up of female gunners, all trained gunners, all volunteers.
How bad must it get to get the cops to move
I watch the guards at times sitting on their horses observing all the people often wondering what they are thinking wish I could read their thoughts 😅
They're probably wondering who they pissed off to get assigned to this duty.
@@fluffylittlebear They are there by choice! They apply to join the mounted units. Every morning they are inspected and the cleanest ones are on the horses, the less tidy ones are on foot.
They're thinking god I can't wait to pop round to the red rooster for a pint and a smoke
Thats a good question
Some horses don't like being touched on the face, the head and the mouth. Some horses don't like being touched by strangers. They must have a rota of horses that tolerate having strangers with sweaty palms touching them nonstop for an hour.
I wonder if these horses ever get to go on a nice hack around the countryside.
If you search TH-cam there are videos of the Queen’s Guard (now King’s Guard) and their horses in the country at the beach on holiday.
Are these horses geldings the same as the Irish black horses used by the Lifeguards and Blues and Royals? They seem to be more docile that the black horses.
They really are much more chilled. Even though the one was shouting out now and again it still was really calm. Beautiful horses.
Yes, Irish Draughts and Irish draught cross - the only difference is the colour and that some are smaller.
@@John-G These are Cleveland Bays! Irish Drafts are a different shape and size. 🙂
The horses arent the same. The "black" horses used by the Household Cavalry are bigger. More than likely Irish Draft crosses. Not so long ago Irish Drafts and Cleveland Bays were in danger of becoming extinct but Queen Elizabeth II, in her wisdom, worked hard to utilise both breeds and thus save them. 🙂
@@deborahwylde1410 No, some of the King's Troop horses are Cleveland Bays, usually the wheelers, but most are crosses, part Cleveland Bays / part Irish Draught, and some are Irish Draught / Irish Draught crosses - usually the leaders. As I've tried to explain, you see more Cleveland Bays / Cleveland Bay crosses in the video because of the rank structure - as a general rule, the leaders are ridden by NCOs and the wheelers by gunners / privates, and obviously those on post are all gunners / troopers / privates.
How long stand the Guards ?
Could anyone please explain to me the different uniforms and what they mean, and when they are worn. For instance,.the winter cloaks in red, black, grey, etc. Thank you.
Well winter is pretty obvious? But these Gunners are all members of Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery. The uniform they wear was in use up until the First World War on a regular basis, also with most line Cavalry regiments, (now Armoured regiments, tanks and the like). You will indeed see a variety of different colours to facings, belts, pouches etc. My regiment, the 14/20th Kings Hussars had a primrose yellow facing and now wear ‘pink’ or cherry red trousers since amalgamating with the Royal Hussars! This is representative of a battle honour awarded quite a few years ago… worth checking out the history?
Yes, they act as if the horses and guards are only there to be props in their photos.
That's all they are there for - why else do you think they're there?
Firstly and most importantly. What outstanding uniforms. The cleaning and maintenae must be high. Secondly .. those hourses are absalutly beautiful. Next... and bottom of my list .... those torist have not idea what behind line means. Yes a lot of forien visitors but directions clear enough. ..... spelling not miy finest trait so appologies for that.. Keep posting
😂😂even the pigeons don't move😅😅
Did the guards change their uniforms? They seem to be quite a few younger guards (all good) and many ladies too.
they are kings troop royal horse artillery ,ceremonial unit of the British Army
They are a different regiment, so the uniforms and type of horse is different
Wow this is something else to watch , so totally different then guards
do these. Beautiful horses have a free time to play??
Play? Where? In a tinny stable?!
💔
Yeah. There isn't a paddock
in town; although there is
a parade grounds near BP
(Hyde Park?) where they
exercise.
The military also has a
retirement home for the
horses and a large facility
in Norfolk UK where there
are pastures and a place
along the ocean to exercise.
Each horse/guard has to stay
in the sentry box for one hour
two times a week (separated
by a day)
The horses and their guards
get rotated in and out of the
facility/ ranch at Norfolk for
R & R (Green grass time?)
Ha!
The guards with the black horses
are in Norfolk while this group
fills in for them. The group that
is resting is going to be in
Scotland at some event
later this summer.
Later this group will be alble
to have a holiday in Norfolk
(If that is what you call it
for a horse)
The horses have a lot of free time and not in stalls all the time.
@@here_we_go_again2571 There are plenty of places where the horses can excecise on grass.
@@isobelcarson6096 same as the so-called free range chickens?
Why do these rude tourist think the guards are acting like its a game..this is their jobs.
People also stand by signs and all kinds of things
The police are as impressive as the guards. Remarkably tolerant of the few who deserve a less restrained approach.
La mayoría bien jovencitos, ojalá siempre v tengan éxito en su vida. Los papás enseñando a sus hijos la falta de respeto a la guardia real, así que eso va para largo, muchos años. Hasta que no les cierren el paso nunca van a entender , nunca van a dejar de molestar.
