      They should PUT A CHAIN ACROSS THAT SPACE BUT A ADEQUATE “RELEASE” so the GUARD & anyone else can release the chain.
      Here on Vancouver Island, BC, CANADA it 2 or 3 Celsius.

      @stuartmccall5474 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @maliapeat6022 : That's correct, but look very carefully for the return sword salute from the trooper, shoulder to vertical and back to shoulder.

    This is my favourite guard on the left that came out at the end of your video. He has been away for over two months now. He shouts at tourist if they misbehave but he is also very kind with the children. So thank him for me please.

    LONDON CITY WALKS, did you not see (at about 6.02 mins) the Life Guard return the salute of the little black schoolboy who walked passed him with an "eyes left" and a salute. The Life Guard returned the salute by bringing his sword from the the rest on his shoulder to the carry (vertical) then back again to the shoulder. I bet that made the boy's day.

    Just watching the teachers coming through with a line of little ones..Towards the end of the line there was a little boy that was saluting the guard and it looked like he was stepping like he was marching..I thought that was respectful..I guess he has been learning from someone..Just amazing.

    The guard on the right is being very accommodating. He's guiding the horse left and right so that the tourists will absolutely have the horse's face in their photo.
    46:52 - That's one of my favorite horses! He has the lovely snowy eyebrows!
    1:03:04 - These are two of the most beautiful horses that I've seen! I love horses with mottled coats! Just stunning!!
    1:23:24 - This is one of the very best guards! He doesn't take guff from anyone!

The Life Guard horse that refused to leave knows when he is being nicely treated and warm, so does not want to go out on a cold and windy day.

Thanksgiving is always celebrated the 4th Thursday in November and originally celebrated a good harvest. Now it also celebrates all the blessings we’ve experienced in the past year as well, including that of close friends and family.

    Awwww that lifeguard horse on the right is very pretty, and seems to have a really nice temperament too. Lovely moment with the guard on the other side returning the salute to the young boy and I also saw a couple of thank yous and acknowledgements of the trooper too so on balance a nice gentle and relatively polite start today. I’m pretty sure someone has mentioned the way some horses hate puddles, especially if they’re coming up to one from a dark area into a brightly lit one. They can’t tell if it’s a deep hole or not and bright contrasts always tend to spook horses too. You be right about them putting that horse in with the remaining Lifeguards to give him a lead past the “spooky puddle”. Btw I don’t think that was Q10 coming in, actually…..doesn’t he have little white spots on the inside of his rear hocks?

    I rode my horses in all kinds of weather. The only time I couldn't ride was in fog for obvious reasons and on unsalted roads in black ice conditions. I don't think they'd leave the guards' horses standing still for an hour in absolutely freezing temperatures but perhaps with rugs? I don't know.

    I sometimes think different bits would be more comfortable for the horses. I read that they use snaffle bits, but i know there is more than one type of that bit.

    That sign was hidden by a shrub which is no longer there nor are the other 3. Only moved couple days ago. Presuming the new guard forgot the 45 min inspection so crammed it in before the changeover....rather awkward for him if so. There was a couple of other things he did that seemed to be a bit off. Trooper having a good old chin wag 😃

We do get cold weather occasionally that is like -8 overnight, but right now it’s 13 & absolutely beautiful after out morning was 0 & chilly 🥶 Love your video❤️ I was wondering if you saw Ormonde in the group of Blues & Royals horses?
