There was never any struggle. The horse is the newest gift from the Canadian Mounties and never done Trooping The Colour before
Noble did really well and the King had no problem with her.
Noble did quite well considering it was his first trooping ceremony 🇨🇦🇬🇧🐎💂♀️
Her, she's a Mare :) but yeah I agree she did just fine.
“Noble” is a gift to the King this year by the Canadian RCMP. This is her first Trooping as she’s very young. She’ll get better with more experiences!
He is, was, experienced polo player,and very often with Camilla went Fox Hunting.
She won't get the chance to improve, it will be horse steaks all round at the palace this weekend.
@@dellawrence4323 We don't eat horse in this country.
@@Diamondmine212 neither polo nor fox hunting requires the skill to signal to the horse to stand still and square. That comes with dressage training
The news said her name was Msjor Juno
A Welsh Shire, and Camilla picked her for him.
It's a horse not a robot. The king did just fine.
That sort of sidling would not impress a judge at a local show. I wouldn't allow any of my Arabians to sidled around like that, not even the stallions.
@@Teddyclaws you can hardly compare this event with a local show. Your local show hardly has the amount of noice or amount of people . Your rider won't be 74 either that had several injuries including operation due to his love of horses. As a horse owner you also should know the most trained horse can get spooked.
Misbehaviour will not be tolerated, the horse will be on a plate at the weekend, we all saw how angry WEF Charley got when his pen was in the wrong place, imagine how nutty he will go over a whole horse being repeatedly in the wrong place. Horse steaks all round.
@@dellawrence4323 oh please. Noble will not end up on a plate especially not on the Kings plate because he prefers to eat a mostly plant-based diet.
@@ajb5834 funny how the horses of Charles' Royal Guard don't sidle and fidget as much as the King's own horse. Horses can and do stand still when the rider is able to tell them to. It looks like Charles' age has caught up with him.
Watching from New Zealand. I so enjoyed all the formalities as young person growing up in UK. Watching this is very special, even from a distance. 😊❤
There was no "struggle". The horse is a live animal who was quickly and gently brought under control by the King. No problem.
That's the nature of headlines..
Hear, Hear ! His majesty was a number 1 polo player for years, and a hunter/jumper as well.
The idiot was clearly out of control...😂
@@johnryman1366well polo playing does not make you a rider x and Charles hunted again does not make you a rider ! Now Anne is a different story ! Look at her seat xx
@@clairepeace5783well I don’t know what you’d call polo playing if not riding, unless it was on a bicycle
The horse was never out of control. The king is an excellent horseman and managed nicely.
Only a non equestrian would consider that "out of control".
And look at his fine clothes. Someone shut up that little boy at the front of the crowd. "Hes not wearing.." ..."ssshhh!"
Royal bot 👆🏻
@@lc-xk2kz No no, perfectly real and human, English lady coming atcha live from Australia. I can remember Charles as a little boy, pictured on our savings stamps we had in infants school. His stamp was blue if I remember rightly, think it was a shilling, Anne's was green, sixpence. I grew up just a few years behind him. Can't get over all the royalists fawning over this. Tugging their forelocks so hard their hair will fall out.
@@taniacummings9207 do you also no his best mate jimmy Savile (a pedophile)
His uncle lord Mountbatten (a pedophile)
His brothers Andrew (a pedophile)
How unlikely can you get🤔🤔🤔
I’m so glad the older Royals are included on the balcony!
They have served and been loyal to the Monarchy for decades!!!!
And they are still very much working and involved with various charitable organizations.
Glad ? Do you like the state waving at you? Does it make you feel special? Sweet
@@Chanel95-d6u Thanks
The horse wasn’t out of control.
The King didn’t struggle.
Apart from that the news is 100% accurate.
it would have been completely correct if it was the BBC news as they would always tell the truth. hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehheheheheheheheeheheheheheheheheh
yes right
yes I agree.
Except at 0:49 where the voiceover says "That's Noble, he's been found for the king".
Noble is a mare!
Noble ,along with other horses presented by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police , did a great job. They were in the Coronation Parade but this is the first outing with their Royal riders. Thanks Canada. It brought back memories of the Queen on her Canadian horse, Burmese.
verified lie
As a former polo player I can assure you that was absolutely nothing to worry about.
And as one who foxhunts. That horse was well behaved.
Nothing dangerous but not the square halt a dressage rider would expect, and get.
The king didn’t struggle. He did great. Perhaps it’s true that the horse struggled with patience but His Majesty handled the situation like a pro.
No he didn't.
Expertly handled, calm & kind. Not out of control at all!
That's not expert riding. It is quite mediocre.
Well thats horses those who dont ride no idea yes he just got on with it well done
Noble did just great for his first occasion. He's gorgeous, those Mounties know how to breed a Royal horse.
She’s a mare.
The best behaved out of control horse ive ever seen
If you looked you'll see KC positioned the horse who was unsettled to where the K wanted it to stand and the horse settled down. Thats control. Horses so get unsettled but to make a mountain out of a molehill is farcical.
This is Noble's first Trooping the Colour. He did fine - and the King had it in hand....
SHE did fine, NOBLE is a mare a gift from the CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE, a beautiful horse who is new to all the noise and crowds.
@@rosieposie6521 She was in the musical ride for a year though, and they also did some training with marching bands and crowd noises. I think she was understandably a bit hot and fed up!
@Rosie posie Didn't know she was a mare - but did know she was from the RCMP, as was Darcy and Burmese
@@katiehill619And George who Prince Charles rode at the Trooping of the Colours since 2009 and Noble retired! 😊
@@rosieposie6521RCMP. Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The horse wasn't out of control - but was maybe a bit bored, tired or uncomfortable in some way.
No struggle, silly. "Noble" is the first horse gifted to the new King by the RCMP, so it's probably his first time at such an event. He was well behaved and the King was well seated and in charge.
She’s from the RCMP’s musical ride. Maybe she heard the music and thought it was time to start dancing 😄 An aside…Loved Louis’ little wave to his grandpa ❤
Title is misleading. King was not struggling to control the horse (called Noble) who at times shoed it’s nervousness. The King would give reassurance by patting.
Yes he was struggling, tried some leg aid to get the horse straight on again, then gave up and let her sidle around.
Struggles????? He's an experienced horseman, managing perfectly well.
THE QUEEN still rode at 96!
No he isn't. Not using his legs to stop the horse sidling.
King Charles is doing an amazing job with his horse and all that goes with The Trooping of the Colour, the fact the horse does a few side steps and tosses his head makes The Event all the more human. King Charles is just like us beneath the pomp and circumstance he has to go through and we love him for it. He is bonding with his people. Long Live The King.
Well said. The title is misleading, the King did well at his first trooping of the colours.
Noble is also a gift from the RCMP. He hasn’t had it that long.
So true, he did an excellent job. Loved the royal family participating ❤️ 🇨🇦 🍁
Just like you? You are a vampire too?
Noble is a SHE. 7 year old mare to be exact. 😊
Has anyone else at his age tried doing as he’s doing! He’s more than capable he’s doing a marvellous job! His mother would be proud……God save our King 🇬🇧💚
This is regal as hell KC3 👏🏾 ✌️ 👏🏾 ✌️ 👏🏾
Hi mother did an was much older
@@yorkshirelad3524 No, she stopped age 60.
@@Songbirdstress no she didn’t
@@yorkshirelad3524 Well, she didn't stop appearing at the Trooping of the Color, but she did stop riding in it on her horse Burmese in 1986. That would make her 60 years old. You can look it up if you like. 🙂
He wasn't struggling. He was showing his skills as a truly remarkable horseman. You try getting on a horse on an occasion like this!! Disappointed at your negative headline.
Some of us grew up at the same time as he did and remember how many times he fell off his polo horses.
Not negative, just clickbait
What rot, he showed a lack of skill and that, no matter how good a rider he used to be, he is now a very mediocre rider who can't keep a horse in a square halt
Teddyclaws. I agree Charles isn't an exceptional horseman but I've seen plenty professional dressage riders fail to keep their horse in a square halt. What matters is that Charles wasn't fazed by it.
@yvonnehayton6753 no, what matters is that the comment above about Charles being a "truly remarkable horseman" is complete rubbish. Charles' riding was very mediocre.
I am sure the King had a few rides before the big day , to be on form , otherwise he may have a few aches and pains .An excellent horseman and polo player , great to see him in the saddle .
Oh please, Noble did a fidgety sidestep and Charles sat quietly and calmed her down. Nothing to see here 👋
This is not an out of control horse, the horse didn’t sign up for this gig, it just wants to keep an eye on the other horses. And Charles is an extremely talented rider.
He was a very good rider but has clearly lost that, can no longer keep the horse from sidling
Noble is a new horse, and was in my opinion a little bit nervous. The King is a excellent horserider,. He handle it perfect.
No he didn't
He hasn’t been on a horse in years due to a severe fall that injured his hip. Once you damage a hip in your older years it’s difficult to sit riding a horse. That with his osteoporosis would be excruciating pain. Getting on that horse was bloody well incredible. Don’t criticize anyone that suffers pain. 🇨🇦
He rode at last year’s Trooping and at all the pre-covid ones.
Crikey people talk some rubbish!
Especially with his swollen hands and feet..the man,s a walking ( riding) miracle 😅😅
He is doing great...problems or not
It was surprising to see Charles's poor posture in another video. Someone here wrote that he damaged his hip. Now that makes sense. I have osteoporosis too, but still, at 72, can sit a horse with straight spine. I think the horse was reacting to a somewhat hesitant rider. For Charles's sake, I hope he uses a carriage next year. Glad things went well for all.
The horse was never out of control. Not by any stretch of the imagination. The King’s horsemanship is outstanding, when also considering his age and back problems
I don't think k he struggled at all. He's an experienced horseman, why always so negative In your reporting. You could have pointed out how well he was handling this gorgeous horse.
Negative? GB Newscouldn’t get more up the Royal family’s arse if they were doing a colonoscopy!
He wasn't handling her well at all. The reporters clearly know more about equitation than you do.
That’s hardly “ out of control “ 😂😂😂 screaming Toddlers rolling themselves on the floor at your locals Tescos is what l’d call out of control. The horse did a little two step and nodded ! That’s it !
Oh, I wouldn't know about that. I'm a loyal Waitrose shopper where children are all obedient and brought up proper and too occupied choosing a decent Claret to roll around.
It did a lot of sidling and Charles failed to apply his legs to stop it.
She was not out of control,she was restive.horses get bothered by flies this time of year.The king was very calm and sympathetic,at no time was he in any Danger.horses are unpredictable and they do very odd things.i think for a man of 75 he behaved impeccably.half a ton of very fit animal is a handful enough. The king saluted the whole of his troop,i found that very moving.
Horses are very sensitive, I believe this horse knew it was carrying a total fool :0)
Plus, he has only had this horse, Noble, for a month. There are videos about how Noble was a gift from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. With the King's busy schedule, I doubt if he had very much time to ride her. They did remarkably well all things considered. Whoever wrote the subject line has not seen what an "out-of-control" horse acts like. It's truly frightening.
She wasn't out of control but Charles ' handling of her was mediocre. He's too old to be riding at this event.
Its hardly out of control- just a moment of restlessness.
Thin King rode well. God save the King
I at no stage saw the King 'struggling' with his horse. The title makes one think of the horse rampaging down the road with the King hanging on for dear life? A little like H&M and there NYC car chase. The horse wanted to dance a little and the King controlled him beautifully. End of story.
The king handled the horse well .. God save the king 👑.
Do you enjoy worshiping the state?
No he didn't. Kids at pony club are better at applying their legs to stop a horse sidling than he was.
Well done Charles
A rather experienced horse learning its job. No problem for HM King Charles.
KCIII is an excellent horseman! He knows what he's doing ❤
That is not excellent horsemanship
I wouldn't call the horse out of control ! It's just not standing still !
It's not a robot!
It's a spirited horse, absolutely beautiful, and the King understood him. Well done King Charles.
A fully controlled horse stands still and square when told to do so. I've seen kids at pony club control a restless, sidling mount better than that old man did.
I still would not call it out of control
@@Lunabracco It's not out of control, but not fully in control. It is surprising to see Charles unable to keep it standing still and square, when he used to be a very skilled rider.
The horse wasn’t remotely out of control and he wasn’t struggling in any way 🙄
Yes he was, made a feeble attempt to stop the horse sidling and then gave up.
There was absolutely NO struggle - he quickly and calmly brought the horse back under control. It's clear he's an experienced, accomplished rider!
Lmao
I've seen teenagers who are substantially better than that, and would have put the horse back where it was supposed to be with their legs. Ending up several metres from where you started and with the horse at 90 degrees to where it started isn't good at all.
@Teddyclaws I doubt very much that your teenagers could have coped any better than the King. He's an experienced horseman and as a former polo player, he certainly knows how to use his legs. The horse was green on her first troop, she will certainly get better.
@@graemeross7536 you are just revealing your lack of experience with equitation
@Teddyclaws and I think your just inflating yours.
I hate that this news station captioned this the way they did. That horse was not even close to bring out of control. Stupid stupid. Come on you can do better.
Watched it, the horse was a bit agitated but KC3 was in control. Horse soon settled. Don't know what you watched.
Media must exaggerate everyting. While Nobel had participated in the Mounties Musical ride performances and had been accustomed to large crowds, nothing could have conditioned this
beautiful black mare for the very long parade day, Trooping the Color. King Charlesof course is an expert rider, having played polo and been riding since his first child's pony. Add to that his love and gentleness not only with horses but all animals he was not alarmed with Noble making a few "moves". By the return
to BP surely all the steeds and riders had a very full day. Charles has not had long to develop a relationship with Noble, the mare just having been presented recently. Pray horse and rider will enjoy
many years together as his mother Queen Elizabeth enjoyed with Burmese (of the Mounties).
The King's horse is his new one from the Canadian Mounties & the first time it has done this. It did very well with the King's calm encouragement. Your commentators showed their ignorance of horses.
Sidling all over the place is not "doing very well". Silly old man did not use his legs to stop the sidling.
He didn't struggle, he showed good horsemanship, provided the horse lots of reassurance. The King is an accomplished rider!
If you think that is accomplished riding you don't know much about equitation.
apparently, as your comment implies, you have never been on a Horse yourself and are definitely not an equestrian @@Teddyclaws
@@Eva-q8q2u on the contrary, I have been riding and training horses for more than four decades. A properly trained and ridden horse stands still and stands square where it is told, no matter what the stimuli around it. Charles used to be a good rider but has clearly lost his skills. There is no excuse for the horse being allowed to sidle around like that and end up metres from where it should have been. Clearly you are not a competent rider yourself, if you think that the video shows acceptable equitation.
im sorry but judging by your answer, I stand by my earlier comment
@@Teddyclaws
@@Eva-q8q2u I can tell that you are a very poor rider who doesn't know how to make a horse behave. Just sitting on a horse is not riding. Get lessons!
King did fine. 👍❤️🇬🇧
Horses are like people. They have their own personalities and characters.
Yeesh! Given the wildly over the top description I was expecting to see a totally berserk horse and the King clinging on for dear life. Instead, we see a mildly bemused horse expertly guided to gentle halt by Charles. 😏
🤣🤣🤣 It’s such a laughably embarrassing title 🤣
As someone on tv said Noble (the mare) was being a bit “spicy”, I think King Charles handled it in an exemplary fashion and kept the beautiful horse calm and happy.
He didn't get the horse to go back to the centre too nervous?
Average dressage rider would have done far better. Charles used to be an excellent rider but age has caught up with him.
@petercory1422 I agree, he ended up a couple of meters away and at right angles to where he started but seemed unwilling to push the horse back to where she should have been.
If you think that that is an out of control horse, god help you if you're ever near or on one that IS.....King Charles was very much in control of his mount
It´s all clickbait without regard to accuracy. Sadly.
@@richardshortall5987 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh. I am sure you´ll find something similar somewhere online
No, he failed to stop his horse sidling. He wasn't in full control.
Well done King Charles, well managed under pressure
The horse was fabulous and King Charles looked in complete control. He looked very regal and royal and him riding made for an absolutely stunning spectacle. 👏🏻👑🐎♥️
So the horse was supposed to sidle and swing its body ninety degrees out of its original position then? Seriously?
An accomplished master horseman I’m sure all is very well under King Charles control.
If you think that is master horsemanship you are unable to recognize master horsemanship. That's mediocre horsemanship.
"Out of control" is a horse buggering off at full gallop down The Mall. This did not happen. The King is an experienced horseman and settled her for her first role in the spotlight.
The King is in control 👌👑
No he did not struggle to control his horse. He controlled his horse perfectly. Groom not needed. Stop making headlines up GBNews.
Quiet hands, deep seat, long legs. Horsemanship.
He has been known to yell at his horse “don’t do this to me”. General attitude of how he suffers because of others.
The King and Nobel rehearsed well for this event. I think they made a fantastic team together. It was wonderful to see the King on horseback again after so many years. And considering he now has issues with his back, I think he seemed very in synch and well in tuned to his new horse.
No issues at all and no " out of control" horse that I could see.
Very well done to our King and his magnificent Nobel🐎
The King rode in TTC last year and took the salute on behalf of the late Queen.
@@TheQueenlucy I may be wrong, for my understanding is that King Charles revived the tradition of a Monarch riding on horseback only this year, for the first time since 1986. Either way, he did a magnificent job 👋
@@ladybug160 Ah I thought you meant its the first time in years The King himself has ridden rather than the Monarch riding, which yes last happened in 1986. Sorry for the confusion :)
@@TheQueenlucy Bless you, yes, I think I made a fraudien slip in my wording of my initial comment 😆
I used to love watching the Queen ride side saddle. I miss it.
she certainly had more confidence that the king
That is not an “out of control” horse. Given the circumstances, it’s extremely well behaved. I’d be so lucky if my horses were so well behaved. You guys are ridiculous.
My thoughts exactly.
All my Arabians behave better than that. Including my stallions.
@@Teddyclaws The ones in your toybox? I'm sure they do.
@@pollyparrot9447 no. my purebred Arabians that I have been breeding for decades. Including my stallions who like all stallions are inclined to ask to shuffle sideways.
@@Teddyclaws To be fair this horse had not done this before and I bet your Arabs never had thousands of people drums and soldiers around them. The young horse did a great job.
God bless our king and all the royal family and us amen❤👑
What a proud day for us all, being a Afrikaans person, South Africa, their is a lot of support for the Royal family...we all went through struggle, old wars, our family's in consertration camps, but we moved on..times changed. Love you guys and don't forget English humor...the best😂 Hi Neil
It’s a horse, an animal… it doesn’t know it’s a “royal horse”
THATS an out of control horse? what? perhaps out of position a bit, thats all. The King is an accomplished rider, he didnt struggle at all.
That's a living animal, not a machine. Also the king isn't struggling. He is keeping the horse steady whiIst saluting with one hand. Guess this reporter has never seen an out of control horse.
KC did not struggle and horse was nowhere near "out of control." Please. And, "formerly known as Sophie?" Quite sure she is still in possession of her given name. Poor reporting, GBN.
I didn't see a out of control horse. Everything was pretty normal. Commentator obviously hasn't been around livestock. All was good.
What ridiculous commentary 🤦♀️. The horse was just fidgeting, which is to be expected, it’s not a machine. King Charles did just fine.
I thought he and the horse did extremely well. God SaveThe King!
There was no struggle. What we actually saw was a great display of horsemanship. Well done your majesty.
Rubbish. Good riders don't allow horses to sidle around like that.
He never looked in trouble at all, he's an excellent horseman and was calm and measured at all times, qudos.
You don't know much about riding, do you?
Amazing job by the King !
You don't know much about riding, do you?
NOBLE most likely heard the music, and was into RCMP "MUSICAL RIDE" mode rather than "race horse" mode. Noble was the latest of 8 horses gifted to the Reigning Monarch since 1969. Queen Elizabeth's favourite was the late: BURMESE and rode him the 1881 Trooping The Colour, when a Would Be Assassin shot at the Queen and Burmese six times with a fake weapon. Resulting in a senentce for Treason. As Told by D. Arbiter.
A good horseman he did really well and Noble I believe is a mare she was enjoying all the attention
Queen Elizabeth II was good at calming her scared horses she had a gentle touch.
agreed, she never struggled like that.
I don’t see a struggle, I see a competent horseman settling a fidgeting mount.
While letting it sidle all over the place. Riiight
Another screaming misleading headline. The horse was only antsy, and His Majesty was just fine.
At least the King did not luck or maltreat Noble.....unlike DimWit who kicked his horse.
King Charles is a great horseman.
Bravo our monarch 👏👏👏 for the Balcony scene: only those who really matter and no hanger-ons.
KC3 is sticking to his plan and his principles.
Not "luck" but kick ....sorry but UT again.
Oh come on- that's NOT an 'out of control' horse and the King wasn't 'struggling'.
The King handled this horse with spirit VERY well. He is an excellent rider.
No he didn't. He is clearly no longer the rider he once was.
@@Teddyclaws OH, SORRY, I DID NOT REALIZE *YOU* WERE THERE TO SEE FIRST HAND.
@@DollsRescued I can see from the video that he didn't manage the horse very well. He was once an excellent rider but is now mediocre.
By the way your capslock is stuck.
I’m so tired of people being dramatic and making up things just for the views - this horse was not out of control. Not even close
Only a non horse person would say the horse was out of control.
And Charles is an expert horseman.
The horse was never out of control but Charles is clearly no longer an expert horseman. Age has caught up with him.
@@Teddyclaws
Sorry his age has nothing tk do thus. He handled the horse
On the hunt field you have 60- 70 yr old riders. A true horse person who continues riding maintains their ability to handle a horse. Your body is conditioned.
@@equine2020 so you are saying Charles has never been able to keep a horse standing still and square? Okay, that means he has never been the great rider people claim.
@@Teddyclaws
What? I never said that. Charles is an expert rider.
Reread my post. Dud
The horse was not out of control. Being an experienced horse 🐴 rider. I know ouf of control. Since 5yrs old my world has been horses. Jumping & foxhunting. Trained by professionals
@stephaniereicher1446 you said "Charles is a expert horseman". Not any more, he isn't. A rider who can't keep a horse in a square halt isn't expert.
Horses are so unpredictable at the end of the day they are beautiful unique animals 😊
At no stage was that horse out of control and at no stage was the King struggling to control it!
If you tug your forelock any harder your hair will fall out.
@@taniacummings9207 Well it sure beats having a bumbling old man constantly making gaffes and a dishonest orange womaniser representing the country.
He was struggling and you don't know enough about equitation to see it. He made some feeble spurring to try to stop her sidling and then he gave up and let her shift a few meters and rotate her direction ninety degrees.
He's sitting quite confidently
Why are you always so negative. King Charles did not struggle, he was well able to and did control his horse
So he meant to end up several meters from where he started and at right angles to his original position? Don't think so.
Where's the out of control horse? Did I miss it?
😂😂😂
Yes, it had already bolted down the road, bucking like a bronco. After Charles fell off they got him a calmer one.
If I were 74 yrs. old and a King, I would be doing this from the back of a Rolls Royce rather than sitting on an unpredictable horse.
He's always rode horses. I think it is fabulous how he did this , on a relatively young horse. She was a little on edge and he rode her beautifully.
@trudy590 no, his riding was mediocre.
@@Teddyclaws It actually wasn't...but you be you. Get on a young horse (at his age with his bad back) and see how you go.
3rd generation rider here...
@trudy590 riding ability is not inherited, but my ancestors have been riding for far more than 3 generations. I breed and ride young Arabians, and they are schooled for showing. His riding was mediocre.
His mother rode horses well into her ninetys
What a LOVELY LOVELY amazing bunch of young men serving their country. G-d bless them
Lovely to see the King on his horse. Perfect. ❤️🇦🇺🦘
Good for King Charles 111 and the Royal family. God bless em sincerely Everett Washington State 🇺🇸❤️👍
🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Looks like Noble wanted to the join the parade not watch it. King Charles did very well convincing Noble that she had the most important job. Beautiful Horse. Beautifully handled.
Noble is King Charles' new charger for the Trooping of the Colour. SHE retired George, who has been put to pasture having served since 2009.
Noble is a 7 yr old mare, gifted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to the King for his Coronation. She fulfills a long-standing tradition of gifted horses from the RCMP to a Monarch.
This was her first Trooping of the Colour and there was no struggle considering for the most part His Majesty was able to use the customery military hold (4 reins held in one hand freeing the other for salutes or battle!). Considering the crowds, the noise and excitement I think horse and rider did exceptionally well. 😊
Thanks for this information. What a nice tradition. And beautiful horse!
King Charles use to ride the steeplechase and polo…. He is an amazing horseman. And on a new young horse. Give the man his dues. Amazing spectacle, always ceremony without threatening display of modern weapons. God bless him and keep him.
Not exactly out of control & Charles is an accomplished horseman so nothing to worry about.
He has apparently completely forgotten how to apply his legs.
IMO The King did beautiful riding. He’s a polo player after all.
