just as a matter of interest , How many ppl think there should be at least a 6ft exclusion zone around those horses, NOBODY should be allowed to touch them.?
I think there should be a mile. People are nuts poor HORSES and guardsman
I agree, but people soon point finger and try to sue if horse hurt them. Dont let them touch
Yes. Absolutely. Horses and guards need to be respected under all circumstances.
Definitely
I think further than that for safety
I think it should be the same rule for the horses as with guide dogs that you never touch or distract them when in harness as they are WORKING. I personally thought it was in bad taste to follow the horse with cameras even after the gate had been shut! Well done to all who do such a splendid job in protecting King and country 😊
Yes that is definitely a good point. Horses that work should be treated the same. They must find a good balance between protection, on duty and service/ tourism. I am sure with all the clever advisors in service they can come up with a workable solution. These guys can wip up beautiful well organised parades in no time sure they can come up with something.
That is certainly a very good point.
💯 💯 💯
Exactly and Amen! They don’t realize it’s a real King like Henry VIII. A real castle or palace. Real guard with military experience in warfare, Very sharp swords. The rifles are loaded with razor sharp bayonets.
Hats off to the fellow who came out and tried to calm the horse but didn't didn't push it when the horse told him he had had enough! Good job son!
Er hat das auch mit Ruhe und ohne Druck zu machen getan. Das ist bestimmt ein Pferdemensch.
That's their job. I wouldn't call it an "unforgettable act of heroism." Kind of an insult to those whose lives are truly on the line. This job is just window dressing for tourism.
The horses are clearly stressed.
I absolutely agree, guards and horses should be more protected. A barrier should be a must!
It’s something that I always think. Because ordinary people seems not understand how to behave!
if theres a barriier, how would the guardsmen effectively get to someone who needs to be handled? theyre guards, they still need to do their job.
Uh, the horse is the barrier. The guard is the guard
Any form of barrier would be potentially dangerous to horse and Trooper if the horse became unsettled and ran forward . It's also a public footpath in Whitehall under control of Westminster council not MOD so again not workable .
@@subz8634Yes the barrier does not need to be high and I am sure the guard's and horses know how to jump so please 🤦
The horse clearly did not want to be there today,It is a tribute to the guardsman for taken action &leading the horse to safety.
Why on earth don’t they just get out of the way. Give them some room he’s stressing.
They don't know that. Most people know next to nothing about the dogs and cats they own; they can't be expected to know anything about an animal they only see pictures of.
if these horses and King's guards were not so well trained, a 1,600 to 1,800 pound agitated military horse charging/moving toward these idiot tourists would make them move back quickly!
Não seria uma tragédia 🎭 é horrível quando eles enlouquecem, já presenciei , praticamente nasci em quartel militar vivi minha vida vendo tudo isso chega a ser até imprudente o que aconteceu não pode forçar tanto está com problemas sim 👍🏻 um outro nem viram que estava sangrando 🩸 pelo nariz, vão ter que revisar essa situação desses cavalos 🐎 muita crueldade 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I feel sorry for the horses that have to stand there with a bunch of morons trying to touch them.
Visitors and tourists show such ignorance around horses that I don't think they should be allowed so close. That 6ft exclusion zone as mentioned in the comment below would be a good and sensible idea.
Six feet is still within striking distance of defensive teeth and hooves so for the idiot human safety margin 12 feet would be better.
@@terryrussel3369 Oh yea. Horses and mules can reach a LONG ways with hooves or teeth as I found out to my cost occasionally when they were having bad days.
It is a credit to the training of the King's Guard riders and the horses that more of them are not having such episodes.
Civilians should not be allowed to touch the horses. I’m sure they would like everyone to keep touching them.
@@dawnyoung9231 No one sane does that to a sentry in modern uniform with modern weapons, but the historical outfit and weapon makes it okay?
If anything? The horse and riders are FAR too nice!
12ft good distance
To those complaining of the rider not controlling the horse better, I would like to see you ride with 1 hand!! It is MUCH much harder than it looks to control a horse this way!!! Those riders are talented!!
One hand AND holding a sword with the other hand. I'm sure they go through required training. Any person who touches the reigns, who is not one of the King's guards or a Royal guard, needs to be arrested!
And, by definition these are high energy horses! These are not riding ponies.
Chiar cu ambele mâini dacă calul este agitat și nu vrea nu ai ce să faci !!! Eu felicit băieții pentru atitudine!!!
SUPERIOR HORSEMANSHIP.
not bad considering most have never ridden a horse before joining the regiment.
Animals are sensitive creatures. This poor horse was highly agitated, yet people didn’t “get“ the message. Well handled situation, grateful for the Sgt’s intervention. Best wishes from Adelaide; South Australia🇦🇺💐
My mum was a born and bred Adelaide Hills girl...love South Australia 🇦🇺...agree with your comment from Perth 💯 %...I'd like to throttle some of these tourists I swear
The horse was quite clear, he was done with work for the day. He wanted to go home.
I hate that behavior of brithish royalty ...of course all those tourists are the gold mine. But Not even in a third world country have i seen so much lack of disrespect.shame on you people and royalties. 🦁
La gente pensa per se ,sono egoisti,speriamo chenil"Re" capisca di proteggere i cavalli. dalle persone.
did you ever have one of those days when people aRe just on your as nerve? Sometimes when an animal Or child says no we just need to listen . for the horses sake i wish they had given in sooner, but i thought it was funny that as soon as the horse was being led away from people he calmed behavior is communication
Poor fella. He was clearly agitated from the onset. I hope he’s feeling a little better in himself, as he clearly didn’t want to horse.
Good call to return him to the stable, away from all the hustle and bustle
Legend has it people here on TH-cam are still waiting for this Unforgettable Act of Heroism.
Any moment now, any moment!
Also waiting to see the guards "SMASH'' the emergency button for help ASAP!!
Damn! I blinked again, shame on me. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Some of the video titles are off the 'Click Bait' charts 🤦🏼♀️
Tourists need to learn to keep their distance away from this gorgeous beauty space and the guard. Poor horse feeling spooked with all the loud noises he has feelings of his own it would drive me round the bend with all that noise of people. He wants some peace the soldier helping to calm him down walking beauty away out of tourists way. Hope he feels better and calm soon.
I can't wrap my head around the way nobody moves back to give the horse room....
if these horses and King's guards were not so well trained, a 1,600 to 1,800 pound agitated military horse charging/moving toward these idiot tourists would make them move back quickly!
That's what tourist do plus they left common sense at home. Makes one wonder what they do for a living.
One kick from one of those horses and those that get kicked are heading to the ER. People just think they are there for entertainment. Imagine being one of those horses, standing there day after day and people putting their hands and fingers in your face. I agree with the 6 ft zone.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE POOR HORSE !!! HE WILL TELL YOU A LOT JUST BY HIS ACTIONS BEFORE EVER GOING OUT ON POST. HE OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT UP FOR ANOTHER DAY OF ANXIETY AND STRESS.
He knew it was time for his shift to be up, and he was ready to go! (did u hear the chimes He was going OFF duty, not on.
YAAA HE GOT TO GO HOME !! ok I'm a goof 😁😁🐎🐎🐎
everyone's an expert after the fact.
@@davidm9618 I AM NO EXPERT . . . BUT . . . I AM AN OBSERVANT PARENT AND I CAN TELL WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT QUITE RIGHT,
Poor horse just doesn't want to be there. Prefers a day off from the loony tourists.
It literally boggles my mind how people can see a horse who is having frustration issues and coming right at them and they just freakin' stand there. It's almost if they've lost their preservation instincts. You shouldn't need to be told that an unhappy horse can be dangerous and you're NOT helping by standing in the way. I actually heard a woman say, "...and actually, I think we're not helping," you got that right!
I have had over 40 Horses in the last 40 years and even the calmest Horse can act up when they are stressed. These Horses are always surrounded by Humans they can get stressed by constant noise and strange people. Even the calmest of them can at times act up. Most of the people who came there to see them have no idea how any Horse would act when constantly being surrounded by Humans and noise. People should be aware of the fact these Horses have no idea who or what is reaching out for them. Most will accept almost anything but as I said there comes a time any Horse will act up. Even though people think these Horses should be calm and relaxed they, just like Humans can have off days. It’s always better to mind the rules and not touch or bother a Horse during this time because you never know when a big Animal will act up and hurt someone. Perhaps there should be a HUGE sign that says “ do not touch the Horse or its rider!” Unfortunately common sense doesn’t seem to work with a lot of people and they end up being hurt because of their stupidity.
These are flight animals by nature. A horse, sometimes, will be a horse. Good call to get him out of there.
This horse may have had to urinate or possibly defecate which many will not do in a confined "work" location. Also may need to drink water or having discomfort from gas build up in his GI tract due to standing still for long period or legs / back pain from heavy rider plus regalia plus heavy tack ( saddle) on hard pavement.
MAKING HORSES STAND THERE FOR LONG PERIODS IS RIDICULOUS AND CRUEL AND OBVIOUSLY THE GUARDSMEN AND RIDER ( who was placing his heel up instead of down and behind the girth causing the horse to circle .Neither man seemed to know equine behaviour and DID NOT KNOW HOW TO TREAT A HORSE IN THIS STATE OF ANXIETY. THIS SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED DUE TO LACK OF ANIMAL WELFARE .
There are signs that clearly state "The house may bite or kick at anytime'
Why do tourists/visitors have to be so LOUD?
Because they are idiots
They're on holiday and think they can misbehave. Some tourists have no sense of appropriate behaviour for the location or culture.
Poor horse he gave early indications of a deep anxiety but no one kept away, I did feel sorry for the guard as well. What happens when a horse has to be taken in? All that noise after being away would send me nuts too. Well done to the police man as well. I hope the horse will feel better soon. Welcome back to the Blues and Royals you were missed and thanks to the Royal Artillery for their work while you were away. The noise is too much form me I have my laptop volume right down
Not the Blues and Royals , they are the Lifeguards , the clue is in the colour of the jacket and plume .
Thats ridiculous making those horses stand still for so long. Bad enough all the bears that were killed to make those goofey hats.
@claudiajohnson4926 No bears were killed to top the Lifeguards ceremonial headgear. That's horsehair. As to the bearskin headgear- the skins come from specifically culled bears. The headgear is reused time and time again, going from one guardsman to another.
The horse has had enough
To add: no wonder horses end up with ulcers
Let them call the guard who kisses the horses, he always calms them down and they adore him.
I love how the guardsmen took care of the situation. But it could have been prevented if the tourists would give the horses their space!
I bet the horse was wishing he was still on holiday in Norfolk, galloping along Holkham beach.
That's what I thought too!
Wish I was as well.
All that bloody noise, not suprised, poor horse and guard
That poor horse!! He clearly had enough of all those people!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
Women get your kids to safety . All the idiots just stand there with their phones getting video's of them possibly getting tramped. Not to smart. Poor horse is upset .Thank Goodness they brought him in.
After watching dozens of these videos, I believe the public should not be allowed to even touch the horses. Take your picture, keep your hands off. I am disgusted at the rudeness, insensitivity and ignorance that these people have for both horses and guards. They should respect the guards and horses as working part of the military.
Nice to hear some people say thank you..👍 horse was done for the day..
I'll never understand why people just stand there like idiots instead of giving the horse and rider space. Be a little more considerate.
I find it utterly ridiculous that people have to be told to move back from a horse that is having an issue !! There should be a 6ft. rule…pure plain and simple. I have lost so much faith in humanity 🤦♀️
Beautiful horse!! And there really wasn't anything wrong with him other than he Didn't like the dude that was standing next to him at the start of the video. His laid back ears, taking his head and butting the guy out of the way and then keeping his eyes on him after he did finally move were all clear signs the horse was not getting good vibes from the guy. Seen it to many times with my grandpa horses!
I see Police Horses all the time... I will always ask the police officer if I can pet or beside his or her horse... Always respect the animal.
Just shows how amazingly they behave normally.
Poor horse. He'd clearly had enough, for whatever reason.
Thank you for listening to the horse. He/she was not ok with being in that space. It wanted to face it and to keep the crowd away with its butt to the crowd. There is always a reason.
Butt to the crowd means a kick... respect the animal.
Arnie must have told all the horses to go on strike just like many other government employees are doing at the moment! They want more oats and longer holidays.
😂😂😂 Arnie, the rebel rouser 😂
Vc é muito engraçado morri👍🏻😂😂😂😂
Long live Arnie the terror of all annoying turists🤣
@GMN360 😂😂😂😂😂 Thank heavens for Arnie. I can just picture him at the stables teaching new horse recruits how to handle bad behaviour from tourists. Hope he also shows some of his counter attack moves too.😂😂
Oh what bliss to watch Arnie's Army in full attack mode scaring the life out of disrespectful tourists 🏃🏃🏃🏃🐎🐎🐎🐎 😂😂😂
I lived in the UK for 6 years and traveled extensively. The rule of thumb always was that as a visitor or tourist you never approach or touched an animal in military or law enforcement service. I have many wonderful photos with friends where we're posed quite aways (10 ft or so) on front of ceremonial mounted guards etc. It is unacceptable to me that these people have no concept of space or respect for the animal and the service member.
Because having a horse stand in one place for long periods of time is SO respectful.
@@roger0929 I imagine the horse and rider are swapped out to give both a rest...
Unforgettable act of Heroism - is a strong title.
If horse is stressed give him space,leave him alone.well done to guard,soldier ,police
Well if that's not clickbait I don't know what is.
We got mugged right off
It’s hilarious…knew perfectly well it was going to mean, soldier leads horse playing up away…but 10/10 for creativity 😂
Don't blame him
The care and concern for the horse was plain to see- the guards plainly look after them superbly.
I hope he calmed down soon- maybe he just needed a break!
Finally! I've watched several of these videos and just now somebody thanked the Kings Guard for letting them take a photo.
Bless him he tried❤️❤️❤️❤️if it were me I wud hav got n the wind and run (the horse)
Sometimes it just isn't your day! Great that the groom recognized that the horse just had enough!
Well done guys.Let’s face it horse or human we all have days like that. First thing on a morning for me. 😂
I loved the way this horse was handled. The handler knew at all points how and if to ask and when to walk it away. Wonderful
People can be so obnoxious! Even after the horse is taken to safe place, one fool stands there staring! Even after the doors closed!
I wish the public would treat the horse and Guard with more respect
People should always respect the horses and stay 6ft away
The guard clearly knew something was happening when the horse began licking . . bringing him around twice wasn't going to work for this one today.
That was just a soldier doing his job.
I do agree that the horses should not be touched in shape or form, it's disrespectful to an officer of the King's Guard.
As someone who knows nothing about horses or the King's gaurds I really would like to see them treated the way guide dogs are. While they are working they are not to be touched. To many people to close 😢.
Its such a shame, you can fully understand the poor animals distress at so much noise and touching.... it must be so unsettling for them. I agree with a comment below that the public should not be allowed to touch them and there should be a seclusion zone around them at all times......
It’s amazing how fast they come to calm the horse.
This young man stayed cool and calm whilst dealing with this unsettled horse, as did the guard aboard this mount, kindness and professionalism showed throughout, tourists should realise that this kind of mobbing of these serving guards and horses can cause problems !! If they can't show respect they should be told to leave the area, it's not a petting zoo for God's sake, and they are not stage props !!!
Poveri cavalli sono molti belli ma devono state sempre disciplinati sempre fermi e tante persona a fare foto e fare carezze a me mi dispiace vere de tutte quelle ore fermi grazie per il video ♥️💙🌹🌹🥰👋
I'm so over thick people...... poor horses😢
i like this guard...he is usually good about not letting people getting too crowded round his horse....horses have off days just like us humans...! Only thing i wish he done differently was keep his legs down off / away from the horses sides...it's giving him mixed messages so he don't know what to do....legs on the side mean go forward but at the sane time your yanking the reins telling him to stop....i see it a lot with some of them... x
Are you a horsewoman? Rider, trainer? :)
@@atomikotita It's common sense. I had the same thoughts. They should make tourists who are clueless, stay back severe yards. It's aggravating.
@@estrella7081 I think given the lack of respect, understanding and cluelessness… Plus downright stupidity around a living animal working hard too… There should now be instant fines paid on the spot to the Lifeguards fund. Irrespective of currency!
From your comment, I know that you have only the most simplistic idea of how to use the aids.
I am, and I agree wholeheartedly. These men are (mostly) soldiers first who then move over to horses. They are not necessarily horsemen.
Not sure if I woul use rthe word 'heroism' but the soldier did what he could to calm the horse and in due course realised that it was not happy and needed to be allowed to move away.
Thank you for pointing that out. I watched the whole thing waiting for a backflip or something exciting from someone. Nah. Just a guy trying to control a horse.
We got mugged off.
The shrill laughter, loud talking, touching, children screaming, traffic even the horses hearing various languages. The noise and buzz from the crowds must be very stressful and then the stupid ones stand there refusing to move when the horse is clearly agitated.
Disgusting the horse is having a anxiety disorders and the tourists still are taking photos
They are selfish and feel intitled. Stupid people.
Yeah, horse would have been so embarrassed to find himself on instagram ot youTube the next day!
I wonder if there was something the horse could hear that we couldn't...
They need to stop forcing these horses to do what they obviously don’t want to do at that moment. Let them rest away from all the obnoxious tourists. And how is this an unbelievable act of heroism. It’s click bait!
Poor baby he just didn’t want to be there, bless his heart it was probably too hot, I would have done the same thing- lol
You know what this horse whants? Home. "Let's go, I'm stressed".
The horse definitely does not want to be in box. What is with those tourists!! Stand taking pictures and don’t move! Brainless.
I like the way they respect the horses, they know when they are distressed. They take them back to their stable, they don't force them to continue.
Put in a barrier between the guards and the people. So unfair to them, & the horse.
Not possible it's a public street and barriers would be dangerous for both horse and guard if the horse became unsettled and ran forward .
There should be velvet rope barriers around these horses!
There should be some sort of safety zone!!
Poor horse. So loud, so HOT. Bless them all.
These idiots who can see the poor horse is upset why not just move right back. I don’t think it would ever happen but what if the poor upset horse went berserk and ran through the crowd. I know they are well trained and the guards are well trained but it could happen they need to have space
Why do people feel so entitled ? They feel that they can do whatever they want even when the horse is showing fear !! AND there should be an area of 6feet to make it impossible for these kind of people for so that horse and guard will be protected
Just like you and me, there is only so much any creature should be subjected to.
People are noisy, smelly, rude and don't understand how unnerving city life and crowds can be in the eyes of horses.
NO ONE the horse is not familiar with should be allowed to get that close to a horse without a proper introduction,
much less reach out a hand to the head of a 1200 lb. fight-or-flight animal that can only escape in one direction.
This horse is being asked to stand in one place for hours and that is not natural for them, especially in this setting.
Yes,I agree ,public should not touch the horses,and be kept well away from them,they are not toys to play with.
It never ceases to amaze me just how self-centred some people can be!!
Those horses are not their just to be looked at, they are there as working horses on guard duty!!
I think there should be an ‘exclusion zone’ around the guard stations.
The poor horse was clearly uncomfortable with all of the pressure that came from being surrounded by people along with dealing with the uncomfortable bit in their mouth (those things infect pain on horses to make them comply with their riders). I think anyone who is going to be dealing with horses needs to learn how to read their body language before riding them in public places. I am just glad that nobody was hurt in that situation.
Bravo for taking care of the horse!!!
Buddy said he'd just had enough. Enough of the tourist, the noise and standing still.
A lot better behaved than ANY of my horses 🤣🤣🤣🤣
(Mine would have dumped me on the ground, stepped on me then giggled to the other horses about it 🤣🙄)
The horse was saying,
"You people don't pay me enough to put up with these TOURISTS !"
These people need to be behind bars so they cannot touch the HORSES
These people need to muck out stalls and paddocks 6 days/week for 21 days and then sit for 2 hours each day watching horses/horse behavior, take notes and hand in the notes for review!
Just a personal opinion, but I think the bits they use are very uncomfortable for the horses. They are so beautiful and I know they are well cared for. 💞
Any bit is only a bad bit in the wrong hands
I quite agree. I know nothing about horses but have noticed they are always “mouthing”. Love watching this channel, though.
Tourists seem to think it is their right to get in the space of horse and rider, at least a 6ft exclusion zone should be introduced.
What I don’t understand is why the soldier is not permitted to sheath his sword if a horse starts stressing out. It’s much easier to control a horse with two hands working each rein separately and not having to worry about keeping a darn sword vertical.
Given a freaked out horse is a danger to itself, the guardsman (I wouldn’t want to come off wearing all that metal onto hard paving) and the publicity one would think utilising every tool to regain control would be used.
The horse's reaction is certainly related to the innumerable amount of idiots harassing him on a daily basis.
Felicitări băieți!! Ați încercat dar nu vrea si gata !!❤❤❤❤
Bless him hope he is OK. Obviously not feeling right.
Did I miss something? Where was the "Unforgettable Act of Heroism"?
Beautiful horse 🐎 God Bless 🙌 🙏
One of the highlghts of my trip to London was getting to pet the horses they are beautiful i have loved and owned hor see s all my life but still a highlight
My heart goes out to the poor horse who is expected to stand there all day on display. No wonder he got restless.
They stand in one hour shifts. But okay.
They do not stand there all day. They are there for an hour, the army would not subject their expensive horses to that.
@@Littleweed419 I'm sure they did in the past before they were called out on it.
Seems the fhorse was having some trouble with his bit.
It's not the horse, it's the inexperienced rider sending mixed signals to the horse. The rider continually to lift his legs too high while at the same time applying pressure to the horse (typical of an inexperienced rider). Notice the horse relaxes as soon as the rider drops his legs down to a normal position. The guard is obviously a new rider.
How dare you call the guard inexperienced he's a fully trained guard
No he is not inexperienced
Horse: "Enough of this bs. Let me be a horse instead of a photo prop."
This is what makes Great Britain great. This plus fish and chips!
Poor fellow, he must have gotten up on the wrong side of the stall.😁
We all have off days, and it looked like he was having his.
Agitated horse? Hmmm. Tourists, tourists moving about, closing the black door, hearing people talking, dressed up like a peacocok - what horse wouldn't be agitated? Horses are not stage props. AMEN!
I can choose to go away when I have had enough of people. And that is quite often. But that horse can't. I am glad to see that they didn't force the horse to stay, but let him go to the stable.
Absolutely. How patient they are, and if accidentally knocked over a child? Imagine the furore!1
I can’t believe people are still trying to get pictures even when he’s unsettled
Bravo Sir
Poor horse all he ever wanted was a bit of peace and quiet and to do his duty
