      John, in my humble opinion , you were absolutely right about the slap, You saw t and you let the police know and they spoke to the young lady in question, there are very few reasons where a slap is acceptable.

      John, for someone who will probably never make it to the UK I want to thank you for having all the awesome buildings on your blogs. It always amazes me how beautiful they all are. Your comments are always welcome, it makes me feel like I’m there. I don’t understand how some people would want to spray paint the buildings. They should find them and have them clean what they have ruined. Unfortunately, we 😢 have the same problem here across the pond. Keep on blogging John! ❤😂😊

      True, the noise was quite alarming too. That lady trooper is always so calm and patient with her horses, I think she would have stayed if it hadn't have been for the trotting horses and rigs coming back nearer to the horses. The other horse didn't seem phased at all. They all have different personalities

      @kateking3953 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      @@annbeirne9583 Indeed. That's something else that people ignore. As if 'training' can eradicate an individual horse's own individual temperament. Some are calm and amiable and will tolerate the crowds and the handling, but these are relatively few and far between. Some will endure it and head toss and try to avoid the hands, and some will actively try to defend their space.

      @@willothewispl- Consider the purpose of the horse guards. Hint they are not primarily there to protect the royals or the residence. They are a tourist attraction and large part of why people visit London. Excessive security for the “guards” could well cost enough tourism dollars to result in their budget being terminated.

      I went to GB for vacation with my parents as a teen. I was just totally amazed at the age of everything. You can visit a pub that's been there for hundreds of years. I was impressed by graffiti carved in wood dated in the 1700's. Amazing country. The food is better now. I was there in the mid 1970's. One of the luncheons I remember had a piece of roast beef and potatoes fixed 3 different ways with brown gravy. I wondered where was the green stuff.

    The Pinto draft horse types with the hairy (or feathered as their properly called) legs are either Irish Cobs (also called Vanners or Gypsy Vanners, Tinker:s Cobs or Irish Tinkers). The solid colored ones are probably Welsh Cobs. The very small ones are probably Pony Cobs. The other Pinto type horses are probably half Standardbreds.

    I forgot to mention about the number of people who are now filming at Horse Guards , it seems like new ones pop up daily , the problem is most know nothing or very little about Horse Guards , The Household Cavalry regiments , and what is happening , they use over dramatic headlines with little or no relevance to what they have filmed to try and attract views , most of the time fortunately it doesn't work ! Even when comments are left putting them right they don't respond and carry on with their inane headings ! Hopefully they'll move on somewhere else ! We are spoilt with you and Buska ( I love him when he gets a fit of the giggles 😂) . Good night , sleep well xxx

    The horses and traps belong to travellers. They go to many places.
    They come to Portsmouth 2 or 3 times a year and many end up at the pubs near the Historic Dockyard. The horses are tied up to trees, poles and bike stands all around the bus station, isle of Wight ferry, Gosport ferry and railway station. Taxis don't stand a chance of getting to their stand at that transport hub.😊❤

According to the Knight Frank real estate website, there is a 2 bedroom apartment for sale in Whitehall Court, going for a mere 4,750,000 pounds, with a petty 10,000 pound, annual Service Charge, and a Contribution Fund (whatever that is) of a mere 6,000 pounds. Mind you, it's on the 6th floor, and is quite spacious. Sounds like a real bargain. Cheers from Oz!

    Poor Luxembourg, he wants to go with them! Going for a fun trot is way more appealing than working!😹 It must be a bit difficult to come back and face the crowds after being away doing other horsey stuff. The perspective from across the road looking back at the boxes, that massive crowd would make me think twice about crossing the road to wade in. I can only imagine what it the horses must think when they’re facing the crowd each shift, it’s no wonder some of them have a nope and kick off! The carts were pretty cool though, not something I’d have expected to see but I’m always up for the unexpected in the safety of my armchair!😹🐎❤️

    But John - time after time the horses indicate their reluctance and unwillingness to be faced with the crowds and the handling. How are you surprised? It's not amusing any more because the numbers are so great, the mauling so relentless, the horses' distress so obvious.

      I agree 100%. Plus standing on hard surfaces for “only an hour” can cause severe hoof, leg and shoulder/hip pain that can cause uneasiness and restlessness.

      I agree totally. Poor horses have to bear all the mauling. Only way to show their distress is by taking a few bites at tourists or refusing to work. Guardsmen should move back in and a barricade set up. Absolutely no touching of either man or animal. Humans only understand when shouted at or shoved out of the way!

    Enjoying your posting from here in Colorado, US. Unexpected surprise to see the horses with those carts parading on by. I was a bit shocked to see that the street traffic did not stop and wait for all of them to go past before driving on in the middle of them like that. They'd have to wait here in the U.S. My thoughts about Luxemburg having a little dance might have been the smell of all those other horses. What a good horsewoman his guard is to control him like that. Looking forward to your next offering. See you then.

I laugh as hard at them as you do, what twits people are. 😄 I’m an American and I’m really impressed that you knew Tallahassee is the capital of Florida…Probably 50% of Floridians don’t even know that. 😂

    7 ladies with backpacks. That man may be familiar with your page, so waving to his friends who are also fans of your page. Another nice walk to the guards. Here in the states we use to have phone booths but not as attractive as Englands. That sound of Big Ben is so majestic. That building looks like one I've seen in movies, had apartments occupied by one of the characters.

      Those old red ones are rare these days. They were gradually updated when the telephone service was privatised in the early 80s. We have two in the centre of my small Wessex town but they're generally a very rare sight in the UK now. They're much prettier than the ones that replaced them.

    Love this lady guard, Is there horse actually called nipper in any of the groups. I used to go to Southend with my mum, dad and baby brother by steam train, it was a lovely place then so sad to hear it has gone down. Horses mean it when the push them away, dumbos don't take any notice this poor horse seems to be really fed up. She is so good with these big horses, but they are really strong as well, so she has to be strong too. I hope the horse does does settle I am, I am always afraid that it might slip and injure itself and the guard cobbles and horseshoes do not go together. Gypsy trotting rigs, often pulled by the beautiful Gypsy Vanna horses. lovey to watch.

  • @jenniferlehman326

    Most are Gypsy Vanner or Cob horses. And they are known as Trotters or Pacers. That is the gait that they travel in while racing. I hope this answered your question, John. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
