      A good day to you, John. I ‘d love to know what the guards speak about when they visit with the Troopers out front? You are right about the Gate’sman, just look how the crowd follows him.

      Police security! SWAT security! Security on riding around on horses! Then how? How can ungrateful thugs take free housing, healthcare and food with one hand and deface public property with the other! Any, assistance to them should be terminated! Since they have so much time on their hands, let them get a job! London, I love you!! But the level of audacity of what they did. . . #ItsAboutToGetREAL

      I want to thank you for the voice over and explaining what was going on.
      I saw Sizzler yesterday when I found your channel. I'm not sure how many videos I've watched, but I was looking for Sizzler again. And there he or she was.
      I love your channel and have subscribed.
      Do you know the name's of any books that go into detail about the history of the King's Guard?
      Thank you again. A new friend from the USA. (We kind of get a bad rap. We're not all loud and pushy.🙂) God Bless you.

      How sweet of you. Sadly there are a lot of tourists that show no respect abroad and there are idiots in every country. All the Americans I know are the kindest and sweetest people and they would also be shocked if they thought their countrymen were being disrespectful towards our Troopers. I live as a Brit in Germany and some of the Germans make me cringe on these videos 😂

    From 1692 until 1955, all Army pensions were administered by and paid from the Royal Hospital Chelsea, which is why all Army pensioners were often referred to as Chelsea Pensioners. Those who lived 'Out', in the UK or abroad and received their pension in cash from agents around the country were known as Out-Pensioners.

I would recommend having a guide for some areas if you don't know any locals but we had our friend and his beautiful family members who we were with and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I would recommend visiting if you ever get the chance. 😊

    I was going to see how the lady trooper handled getting off an over 18 hand horse. She had to balance her whole body after swinging her leg over in order to gracefully descend and not end up too close or under the horse. She used great strength and equilibrium perpendicular to the horse’s back lining up perfectly before aiming her legs toward the ground. She is a LOT stronger than she looks!!! Bravo excellent work Lady Trooper!!!!!

      ​@@hessiewatts4406 the finger V is complicated. If the V fingers are facing fwd it's means victory. But if the back of hand is facing outwards at you, it's aggressive like Fk U. That goes back to the wars with France who would cut two fingers of an English archers right hand, to prevent him using a long bow in future.

The Trooper on Sizzler was excellent , shouting at the crowds then spending time soothing and settling Sizzler with lots of comforting pats and scratches , that's why he finished his shift , good job both 😊. The Captain with his group of visitors and the Chelsea Pensioner was explaining everything so well , thanks for being there in a totally respectful way John , though we expect nothing less from you that's why you are so well thought of by HCav and your viewers 🤗.

    These videos demonstrate the great appeal of horse mounted military to the people from around the world. Amazing diversity of visitors. I can’t help but think, despite the “rudeness” or “disrespect” of some of the visitors, that all visitors contribute to the economy that would be sorely missed if more draconian policies are instituted. Black informational signs posted on one side of the boxes are tasteful, perhaps bigger RED signs might be universally recognized as warning signs of danger which may result in better behavior?

    You hit the nail on the head. “ I’m a stickler for detail”. And, that is why your channel is so popular. You explain everything going on and, you always seem to be where the action is and capture the most entertaining, educational, and bizarre things that happen there. I am surprised that it is, repetitively, the same sect of people who are so rude and disrespectful to the guards. It is as though they have not been cultured and know how to behave as adults. I would have thought the opposite of those folks. I think the word has spread amongst the guards, and there are not goi g to tolerate their shenanigans anymore. I laughed the minute the Chitsman started marching back and forth, and didn’t stop, the minute they walked up in front of him. He wasn’t having it. So much entertainment in one video! Loved it, John.

A bit of momentum makes it harder to baulk. Wow there are SO many people!!and OMG that rude cow in the grey jacket…….in the bloody way and then has the cheek to look offended when she’s almost stepped on and brush herself off like she’d been contaminated by the trooper….silly cow🐮
    Thank you so much for that lovely clear shot of Sizzler too. Much appreciated🙏 and yes, kudos to the trooper mounted on Sizzler…..he handled him gently and tactfully, constantly reassuring him with pats and voice…..poor lad was so wired today……it was upsetting for everyone…..except apparently the oblivious tourists.

      I've read that the horses are in the box for 1 hour and then rotate through the horses to the next horse. They also are on duty 2-3 days a week

    Very charismatic dashing Life Guard Captain there, I've seen him before, he seemed to be such at ease with everything going around him, the way he was explaining everything in such a pleasant and calm manner. Maybe someday, who knows, we'll have the honour of you interviewing him, John☺☺ He would make for such a great tour guide. The trooper on Sizzler managed to pull it off brilliantly, it didn't look good the way Sizzler had the meltdown at the beginning of his shift. I've seen the trooper leading Sizzler into the box before, as a boxman or gateman, now he was on crowd&horse control. He does sometimes give me a somewhat stern, direct and very determined vibe when he's a boxman, the way he handles horses. I've seen him preparing Lancelot for the Elizabeth Cup as well, i couldn't mistake him because of his tattoos on his arms hah, they are very unique😀 A determined manner is good, i guess, but i didn't see him comforting horses too much, it's not his thing. The trooper on Sizzler managed to calm him down with pats and scratches/caresses,while Sizzler did the "polka" dance a bit in the box, but he didn't get into the "waltz" too much, which was a good sign. I guess we should never under-estimate the power of soothing words/gestures with most horses in distress.

      A calm, soft voice and a few gentle pats go a hell of a long way with a toey horse. It really can’t be overestimated how much the demeanour of the rider affects the demeanour of the horse.

    • @Roox8115
      @Roox8115 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@paulinemegson8519 Wow! So horses can pick up on the mental and emotional state of the rider. Thank you so much for confirming this for me, what i wrote above was based on my observations and my intuition, but not too much from prior riding experience. So sometimes, horses may display a certain irritated behaviour not because of something explicitly bothering them but because they are reacting to how the troopers feel/behave at that point in time, am i correct in saying this? For me, it's very important to know because i can re-evaluate certain situations that i have watched regarding certain horses at Horse Guards behaving oddly and without obvious reasons(excluding medical ones of course). Incidentally, it was one particular trooper, different horses, almost identical odd behaviours from the horses.

    • @paulinemegson8519
      @paulinemegson8519 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@Roox8115 well if you really want an illustration of this, look at the way the horses behaved after the incident with the horses that bolted in London earlier in the year. The troopers were doing their best to keep calm, and just carry on the routine but EVERYone was on edge….how could they not be? And all the horses were nervy and jumpy because of it. The thing is, humans, even tho we might look calm, show a lot of signs that animals can pick up, when under stress, from simple chemical markers that alter our scent, to the way our voice sounds, to the tightening of muscles that a horse can FEEL when being ridden. Not to mention that these troopers lives revolve around the horses while they’re in ceremonial….they live next to them, their care is their primary task, and they spend most of their waking hours around them, and this creates a bond. That said a GOOD horseman keeps their own feelings under control because they’re the one in charge and it’s their responsibility to keep their horse calm. Watch Princess Anne when she is controlling a jittery mount. Utterly calm. Or better still, the Queen when she had shots fired at her while riding, sidesaddle, in procession, and her horse, understandably, spooked. Completely calm, and concentrating on calming her Mount which she did, very quickly.

    😂 Horse reminds me of our beagle when he passes gas. He reacts the same way! Our 144 lb. Blond Lab didn't react that way. He just ran with us all happy, when we ran to get away from the oder. Does make me wonder though if that one box has more vibration in it,
