      People choose to ignore the signs. They want to do what they want to do. If this is presented as an attraction, then folks will treat it as a Disneyland amusement. It would be interesting to find out why they do not want the signs on both sides of the Guards and horses???? When the people come out of the center gates they cannot see the sign on the right. Then that becomes their excuse for putting their hands on the horse. Also, why aren't the guards letting people know not to touch the horse when they start petting them?
      John do people think they are entitled to touch the horses? So why would there be a problem when people are reminded not to touch the horse?

Certain nationalities do not have any spacial awareness , just push in front of everyone , sooo rude .

    They should put a little recorder in the box to keep repeating the rules.

If people can't show some respect and ability to behave in such a place, then lock it down or put the tourists in viewing areas where they cannot interfere with the duties of these serving soldiers.

      The way this is organized is not working. Military personnel need to be far more assertive.

      I don't think the closeness is really the issue, if the tourist respectfully approach the horse. So many tourists are anxious to push in ahead of others and they zip up on the poor horse. It's a wonder the horses haven't bitten someone directly in the face. I'd startle if someone zoomed up in my space. They think these Regal working Horses are just pets.

    Just had a new idea for the sign. First of all both walls should have the posted sign, as I have heard mention more than a few times. Secondly since no one is heeding the “ Don’t touch the horse” rule how about “Touching the horse will result in $ fines “!. Hitting someone’s wallets might get their attention faster. Also the additional money could go into a Guardsmen’s fund to pay for a yearly appreciation party for all of their hard work 🎉❗️

    John I am concerned about some of the rhetoric. Yes we would all like the horses to have more protection but who are your followers to demand that troopers should be fired. We do not know what orders they have been given. Presumably if HCAV are unhappy with individual troopers they will be reprimanded, if not its not our business. Secondly what is the purpose of the signs are they warning signs to absolve the MOD of responsiblity in the case of members of the public being bitten or injured.
    It would be interesting to learn if they are happy with them.
