      hi John. Yep, i believe your correct, horse is TALAH. Matches my pics, he also has a small vertical scar on his neck, just above that gold/brass thingy on the breastplate. Also noticed Tabago is a gelding, saw his 'sword' at the changeover.
      The horse that quit must be a newbie. i have pics but no name. Have a great day and thanks again for the fantastic videos!

    I have noticed in several videos an older gentleman that stands near the arch where the concession stand is and the Gatesman or Chitsman stand, I get them confused. Anyway, this older man will discourage people from going too far under the arch. Holds his arm out to block. I like him. They obey him too!

    Good day John. I looked up Sangin (if that is how it is spelled) and refers to the Sangin district in Afghanistan that the British forces had occupied. An intensive military engagement occured between the Taliban and the British forces. The siege of Sangin 2006-2007. Since it was mentioned that some horses named after battles, perhaps that is where the name came from? I could be wrong, have been before, just a guess.🤔

    • @LondonCityWalks

He was a 17.3 hand bay gelding, he was a sweetie hacking out, he was however a nightmare in the hunting field, he used to gallop with his head down and plait his front feet, i have lost count of the times we fell because of this trait.

    The Lord Lt. was great to see! Thanks for chatting with him. I get in trouble out here on other TH-cam vids for showing excitment about seeing participants of color, but, in the area I'm in here in America, as a person of color myself, it's still very exciting to see the inclusion. So, I hope I don't offend people for expressing this happy observation. AND, that box is what I call "The Ghost Box."

    What a video! A bit of everything. The man passing through from Buckingham Palace was gorgeous. He really gave you the "once over" as you approached him. He was beautifully attired. That has been one active video. People from America showing up to visit you. You were a bit "touchy" with the Germans. One young man was in disbelief as he stared at the uniformed soldier. That was touching, really, because he was very young, even though he looked older because of his height. And your opening was marvelous with the scenes of the fountain. The stars aligned today. Good one.

    Today was really odd all the way around! It seems like the last week or so the horses have been increasingly more jumpy and easily startled and the atmosphere more and more tense. Tempers have been quick and the M.O.D. aren’t having any foolishness, some of them you can see the edge in their faces. Idk, maybe I’m projecting because things here in the US seem to have gone off the rails with the protests, it just seems like they’re getting more intense there too. Oh well, the horses are still spectacular, the guards magnificent and I’m happy to watch!😻🐎❤️

    I pointed out to the officers at horse guards about the wall of buses and the horses freaking out. one you filmed last year did the same thing when a load of buses parked all the way past horse guards all front to back all the way along with no gaps between them, and the tourists came out of the yard and were brushing up against the horse trying to get past the horse and tourists coming from the other direction as well, along with the ones standing looking at the horse. quite often the horse will look up above the tourists heads and can see all the way over the road, but when the buses are like that it forms a wall practically in front of the horse and they are closed in

      As a Western Australian, I'm so envious when I see the European students on school excursions in London then remind myself of just how easy it is for Western Europeans, in particular, to just "pop over" to the UK for a few days. With ferries, short plane rides, high speed trains using the Chunnel, etc., it's a very easy trip to make. Even getting to the eastern states of Australia from West Australia is either an expensive plane ticket or a 2-4 day drive (bus or car) and that's not even getting out of the country.
