The side dismount and the closed box doors, did seem a little odd and unusual. I hope whoever had the medical emergency, recovers completely. Thank you for sharing Buska
All normal mounts and dismounts are on the left side! And all the, to our eyes, rather bizarre arm waving and dismounting by stages, is just how they are taught in the cavalry school. Including the coordinated neck slap “ make much of your mount!”😆
@@juliadove1006 I understand your information and thank you, but like Buska, we thought dismounting procedures on the left side of the YARD, was unusual. (normally done on the right, where the ambulance was, on this particular day)
@@joyceroberts3886 OK I’m not that regular a watcher. I foolishly thought that the “ dismount on the left side “ was referring to the horse, not the courtyard!!😘
@@juliadove1006 You're not foolish Julia, I probably didn't make myself clear enough in my comment. You assured me, that you know more about horses, proper procedures around them. Thank you for that
My goodness, Buska, what a day - so out of routine with rehearsals out the back and then the medical emergency. Hopefully, the gentleman makes a full recovery from what must have been a severe seizure. I do like those 2 MOD police officers.
Ah - now I know why the bollards in front of the gate are retractable. Makes sense, of course, I just never thought about street access from that side, assuming vehicle access would be from the other side.
@@Diamondmine212 There are never any cars driving through the gates from Whitehall into the tiltyard , the bollards are there to restrict unauthorised vehicles access , As a safety and security measure .
During the funeral procession of Queen Elizabeth II, the cortege went through Horse Guards; during King Charles III coronation procession, the royal carriage went through Horse Guards. If you ever see a royal procession through Horse Guards, you will know that the number of rehearsals must have been tremendous.
They are professional soldiers and well used to changes in routine. Many have served in places like Afghanistan. The horses are extremely well trained too.
@@msfrred1st Of course but it doesn't hurt to let our brave soldiers and horses know how proud we are of them. The horse in the left hand box did look a bit bemused but backed in beautifully
The person needing medical care was removed from the parade field in that car. It waited in the center arch in the shade for the ambulance to arrive. Once the ill person was transferred to medical team the car was put back there out of the way.
There was a military ceremony on the parade ground. The car originally transported official guests. Traffic wardens can't issue tickets within Horseguards. It is a military establishment and property of Ministry of Defence.
It scares me every time I see a horse slip. One is going to be seriously injured along with the rider. Can't they put something non-slip on their shoes?
You said that the person had an epiletic fit. I hope they aren't a part of the guard . they would not be allowed to be in the military in US with epilepsy . to much chance of they having a problem on duty.
An epileptic fit can happen to everyone, even if no such problems were ever seen before that time. It can at times be caused by dehydration or overheating and often is a one time occurrence. It's not necessarily epilepsy, where those seizures will happen more than once.
Is this where the King lives?? What are these guards, army and the police people are doing in this place??or they do this for tourists? Someone please tell me
Horse Guards is the HQ London District, British Army. The King does not live here, he lives at Clarence House. The Horse Guards are for ceremonial purposes. The police are MoD police guarding MoD property.
Horseguards was originally a main gate to Buckingham Palace and I'd still used as part of the route on some state occasions. The last time being the Kings coronation. That is why there is a military ceremonial guard there. Ministry of Defence police are there to help protect the building and grounds and to assist with crowd control in this case.
The Guards are the two regiments of The Household Cavalry , Lifeguards in red uniforms , Blues and Royals in dark blue uniforms they alternate duties at Horse Guards as part of their ceremonial duties . They are the two most senior regiments in the British Army and lead parades at ceremonial State occasions .
I think Horse Guards arch started as the main gate to Whitehall Palace built in the early 16th century. When that royal residence burnt down in the 1690s, the king moved to St James's Palace on its opposite side. It became the main entrance to that palace but, to accommodate its new function, the front of the building had to become the back. It was rebuilt as it is now in the 18th century. Buckingham Palace is further from Hòrse Guards than St James's but the arch remains the ceremonial entrance to both of those royal residences.
Rehearsals for Trooping of the color parades, that will take place during June (in 3 separate but consecutive weekends, if i'm not mistaken - June 1st, June 8th, and June the 15th).

I would be a little annoyed with the guy that came near the end and stood right in front of everyone that was watching the event unfold. Just would ask him to move over a bit to the side. He could still ask the female guard questions and be of to the side while not distracting her from her duties. It didn't seem like he had a professional reason to be there, just a bystander like the others.
Took me a while to decipher the title. Would it kill you to throw in the occasional comma? In fact, you could take the incorrect apostrophe, turn it upside down, and use it as a comma.
It’s not clear who had the medical emergency? If a tourist visitor I hope they make a quick and full recovery. If it was a LifeGuard then his army career is over. The army for obvious reasons only accept those recruits who are nearly in perfect condition health wise and by the time they have finished basic training are super fit
Per the photographer, it was a tourist. If it was one of the men on the horses it would have been clear. Even if it was one of the police it would have been more obvious.
I think all of this is ridiculous. I think humans should grow up and realize what they are doing to these poor animals and to the people all for the sake of show. I’m a horse lover and owner and I know that I would never allow my horses to stand for hours like that. Let’s get real fox the store away with all of it
Putting aside from the emergency going on, please, tell me, other than for tourist $$, what is the point of the mounted guards in their silly uniforms carrying out their silly routines? Also, if the humans involved feel they must keep up these expensive ceremonial activities fine. But it would be nice if at least they could leave the poor animals out of it.

Oh the ambulance leaving is the dismount ??? Confused me for sure
The female MOD is one of my favorite guards! ❤🥰
Mine too, tell her she’s doing a great job please Buska and so are you, love the bits of chit chat you put in 😊
Just what I was going to say 😄
She's Met police not MoD.
I thought she's MoD
Hope all is well with whomever needed ambulance
Hope all well within the emergency 🙏 Top-man
Moments like this make me more proud to be British. Thank you.
The Trooper at 3:00 who backed into the box is the VVV tall 6 ft 6'' (about )guard. Great catch Buska getting this footage.

When in the military, earrings are regulated to specific studs.

Have you never seen all the cars that drive through almost every day,??
@@Diamondmine212 No, I've never seen all the cars driving through the courtyard. I don't live there. What Buska doesn't film, I don't see.

The guards and horses did a good job coping with the change in the routine.
I hope the person in need of medical attention is proven to be okay.

I hope the person has a quick recovery. whoever had the idea of putting up that black sheet was very smart!
The privacy screens are used quite often for ambulances in the UK when issues occur in a public place.
@@nestpeeper you never see that in Canada
@@loganwhite3904 You very rarely see it in the us unless it's a particularly gruesome scene. It should be SOP far more often imho.
You could almost see the horse saying to itself, "they tried to fool me, and I'm not happy about it"
LETS HOPE ALL TURNS OUR WELL
Oh, goodness. I hope he recovers quickly. I will keep him in my prayers.
What Happened been Praying for who ever it was . Pray they are ok
May I ask, who had the emergency? Was it one of the riders, or a tourist? I sincerely hope for the best outcome for the person who was ill!
A tourist stated below in a comment.
I hope all is well with the person that needed medical help
Even the horses were confused with the dismount on a different side and walking through the gates and backing in
That was abit different. Hope all is well. X
Get better soon.
Hope everything is OK ❤
She's my favourite.
I hope that the person who needed medical help, are OK
Wow, that was a real Freemason dismount.
Hope all is well. ❤
I want to know who got the prime parking spot in the courtyard
Well spotted sir or madam .
Don't think the wardens will dare to give out tickets in this place!

Wonder if it was the lady on the other video who got severe biten and rushed to hospital for obs
What happened Buska??? Is it a guard or a visitor??
Visitor had a fit
@@busk1976 thank you hope they are better soon. Was worried it was a guard. I think they’ve had enough the last couple of weeks tbh
What was this ‘medical emergency dismount’?

So. Two vehicles pull out, that's it? I hope the person inside feels better soon.
Why carent you explain what is going on. We are in AUSTRALIA.AND LIKE LEARNING ABOUT KINGS HORSES
A tourist suffered a seizure and was removed to the back to wait for an ambulance in an official car in the shade to be taken care of while waiting.
Barbara. Watch London Tour Guide, John talks through what is happening. Busca & John are friends.
More like they dismounted on thats side of the court yard because of the ambulance was parked on the side that they normally dismounted

Wonder how many horses is under the hood of that car in the courtyard?
4:00 Not sure what the HP rating is on a Ford Mustang Mach-E is.
What was happening on the other side?

A a visitor had a epileptic fit
An epileptic seizure is not a fit! It is a serious medical event!
Thank goodness there we're people present... hoping for the best❤
Jayne I don't think Buska was making light of what happened....used wrong word but he at least tried to explain😊

He looked exactly like someone who would work in one of the Govt offices around there, maybe even No10.
