When will we find out the results plz John
Hi John,
I have a question:
Did the judges rotate to judge each horse or was a judge “assigned” a horse for the entire inspection? Thanks John 🤟
Can you tell us a little about the Man wearing the Kilt, and his regiment?
@horseygirl645 I hope that John doesn't mind me replying. By looking at the video, they had about 5 minutes with each horse
So pleased you got to Film this and thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And secondly, a huge thankyou to the Regiments for allowing us to come behind the scenes, and show so many what happens,
Thankyou, ❤
Pretty amazing alright. I never knew all this, the crazy goings on at the gates, but also the incredible amount of work that goes in behind the scenes. Respect to you and the guards, from New Zealand.
Well Done John for getting this Amazing Invite and being allowed to film it.............................. (All the other Horse Guards Vlogers need to learn from you.... and need to stop posting Misleading Titles which has been noticed and remarked on by many other viewers,your titles are truthful and correct as testament by the many comments you get compered to the others).
I absolutely agree with you. Well said.
Hear hear welll done John
Especially the twins, i despair of their titling, everything with them is a rare sighting 😂
This now the only channel l watch ,thanks john no.1
I will only watch John, deleted all the others from my TH-cam.
Both Regiments are brothers,
No matter who wins, they all win in my book
Amazing coverage John, thankyou
To see these amazing troops and horses, behind the scenes, just makes me even more prouder, if that is at all possible
Our tourists who maybe watching, look, they not just for show, just for pictures,
The work, commitment, hours, every day 365 days a year, into not just looking incredible, but our beautiful horses
All are winners in my eyes,
Well done guys and women, who serve our and the world everyday, ❤
I agree!
❤❤❤👍
Yep……but like any brothers, there’s “friendly” competition……sibling rivalry is a thing after all 🤣
@@paulinemegson8519 oh absolutly agree, sibling rivalry, is always a good thing, if the respect is there that is, depends on the siblings 🤣🤣
Those "drum" horses looked like Clydesdales and Shires with their "feathers" on their feet + their size. My friend has Shires she's imported to Oregon, USA, from England. They're gentle giants.
I am so excited to view part 2. Bravo on getting such unprecedented access.
Me too😀
Oh Ormonde...don't worry...we all know you are the REAL star!!! Just don't bite the general!!! 😂😂😂 xxxx
I saw him & yes, he did try to nip the general😂
Lol he is THE 👑 of Attitudes I adore him ❤
Not sure which horse you’re referring to but none of them have the exact same markings as Ormond. Plus, with his reputation of nipping anyone…..they wouldn’t put him in front of the judges.😂
@@AngelusCraft He was second row...far left. The Blues and Royals horse that was facing sideways.
Hmmm could be a black mark if Ormonde does that!! 😂
The troopers must know how much respect you have for them in the way you record their days and commentary. It is so fitting you should see their special day and we are so lucky to be able to follow along.
Also by muting any conversations which are none of our business. Respect given Respect earned.
To see the behind-the-scenes videos parts one and two has been the highlight of my week. Thank you, John, for this unprecedented access and well done for being such a steady and vocal commentator on the proud Horse Guards and mounted cavalry regiments of the Blues and Royals and the Life Guards. What a privilege it has been to see this. Well done.
So pleased for2 you John yes your delight at being there really shows. We your loyal fans feel the same
Hear hear 🎉❤
What a privilege to be asked to attend this , and to see what goes on behind the scenes of our forces
You're the best because you narrate what we're watching, I'm American and don't understand traditions there but I do know that no matter what that these men, women and horses are all trained soldiers and deserve respect!!
Texas agrees ❤
I agree!
That one not settling down in the back left is Ormonde. 😊. The one in front of him I believe they said was Lancelot then beside him is Northumberland. 😊
Ha! Leave it to Ormonde to assert his opinion of the ongoings.
Thanks for bringing this to us, John.
A navy captain is equivalent to an army colonel … therefore three ranks above an army captain.
John what an incredible opportunity which you so richly deserve. Your respect for everyone is so impressive. Thank you for sharing this once in a lifetime experience.
I'm glad that you got invited to the barracks. You do more to 'Big up' the household cavalry than any journalist. They should make you their PR officer 👍 Also, a white band around the peaked cap and a red plume on the Bearskin will tell you the person is a Coldstream guard.
Ps.
I almost certain that was Ormonde on the far right.
I agree @michaeldowd8422. I'm new to this channel and I look for it each day. John good stuff.😊😊😊😊
Yes, it was Ormonde that caused the ruckus😂😂😂
@Roox8115 typical of Ormonde, but I love that horse, and hope to see him in the box again soon.
@@michaeldowd8422 He is a very special horse! A bit too cheeky and insubordinate for my taste (during the ceremony, his restlessness caused Lancelot, the Lifeguard horse in front of him,as well as other horses, to become restless, too) , but he always makes me laugh!😄😄I'm sure he will come back soon after his 4-month or 5-month break!We will have a field day with him in the box!😅😅😅
@Roox8115 may I ask, are you serving with the cavalry atm? I totally understand if you can't answer that. I was a senior NCO in a tank transporter regiment back in the day, and used to work with the cavalry often.
I Am So Proud to Be born and bred in the UK under the Royal Family ❤❤❤❤❤❤ so proud they are doing a good job after the Queen Past get well King Charles and Princess Catherine the rest of Royal glad you all well ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Horses….the one thing you can predict with horses is that things will be unpredictable…….you’ve just always gotta be prepared for anything, and double that in cruddy weather😉 And yes, EVERY time it rains I cringe knowing how much work is being undone by the weather on the tack and troopers kits. Very impressed by the Blues mounts……they’re all being very calm and steady today. Rotten Row is an inner city bridleway…..not something you come across in many cities these days, but it’s also used by the riding school in Hyde Park. I often used to see horses on the Row in the early mornings when I was in London. 😂heart in my mouth when the officer right in front was walking backwards…….which is ALWAYS an iffy prospect in spurs 🤭 It’s SO easy to step on one and trip or lose the spur😂 First time we’ve seen the female Blues captain I think. Scottish hunh John? What gave that away? The plume? 😱😂 tbh I’d have been happy to keep watching the inspection but I’m a bit weird🤣 I’m personally hoping for a Blues win this year, but we’ll see. Don’t they look stunning lined up tho? Photos happen next I’d imagine…..it’s like kids photo day🤣😎
Well I'm weird as well Pauline 😂I would have been happy to watch everything from start to finish . I would love to know what was on the check lists , the ones getting wet in the rain 😀. How fortunate are we that John was asked to be there and we as viewers got the chance to see it through his eyes and listen to his commentary ! I admit to being biased but I kept watching one of my big favourites Monty he was very relaxed , one of those whose attitude is " been there , done it got the t shirt " 😍. Hearts must have dropped when it was raining all that hard work by the Troopers . Line up for a photo call for the judges , then off for tea and bikkies or something along those lines 😂😂😂
Love seeing the guards without their helmets, such fine young men/women.
To the Men and Women of the British Military...a Big Salute 🫡 to you all .... thank-you for your service 🫡 and John thank-you for this amazing footage you filmed..good job 😊👍
hear! hear!
A wonderful part #2 detailing this amazing occasion. I think every Trooper was immaculately turned out and the fabulous horses behaved exceptionally well too, especially given the rain and chilly conditions. 🐎 It's been an amazing privilege to be able to witness this event and I'd love them all to meet the King later in the year. Blues and Royals or Lifeguards ? Like you John I'm torn,😊 but Monty was rather fabulous wasn't he ? Well in truth they're all winners imho and thank you so much for capturing the day, it was a great honour to have shared it with you. ❤ 😊
Love that Ormonde is doing his own thing at the back there…. I thought he’d of been keen to be selected so he could have a royal nibble 😂
Congrats to you John on being invited to such a prestigious event with the Life Guards & Blues and Royals. I loved what the trooper being interviewed had to say about his fellow troopers, you can feel the sense of comradery, with the banter and friendship among them they are all one big happy family in HCav
Congratulations John firstly for being invited to film this but also on the fantastic job you did great video as always.
It was really good to see behind the scene. I've known for just over 40yrs how much work they all do and the many hours that are put in to prepare for going out in public. After watching your part 1 I feel I have even more understanding. Thank you John for sharing this with us.
Just found out the 23 year old Scottish lifeguard from Glasgow think his name is Vittorio who was on Lancalot got through to one of the 8 finalists. Its the young man who was being interviewed towards the end of the video. Well done young lad, i hope you win i am from Glasgow as well everyone here will be cheering you on.❤
I believe the Scottish gentleman is the Garrison Officer of Edinburgh Castle in Scotland..Sry I cant remember his rank. He is a super nice man and Scottish of course.
I admit to having a genuine giant soft spot in my heart for Ormonde, but I think you all deserve to win. Such dedication and hard work, absolutely in awe here! Ty for part 2, love and respect yet again from Wisconsin ❤ 🇺🇸
🌺 _@LondonCityWalks_ 🌺
Bonjour John 🖐! What a marvellous initiative you've had in bringing us this "horses + troopers + competitions, etc." activity from the inside. (Judgement for the Princess Elizabeth Cup🥇🏆).
Only you could have thought of sharing this with your subscribers.
*C'est MAGNIFIQUE, c'est trop beau, c'est trop bien !* Thank you a thousand times dear friend.🙏
I love these horses so much. And the King's Guards too !💕🐴💕🐴💕🐴💕🐴💕🐴💕🐴💕🐴💕🐴
_Now I look this part 2 of 2..._ 🖐🙏
ORMONDE is the first horse on the left. I’m excited to see you participate, King!
didn't see that! surprised they took a chance that he would bite somebody important!
So glad I was able to watch this Elizabeth Cup Inspection It was nice to see all that goes on behind the scenes and all the hard work everyone put into it. It was a long day for the horses and troopers and I’m sure they will enjoy a beer or two after. Thank you for sharing this video ❤️
Congratulations John for the invite! And thank you for sharing with us! It's amazing to see how much work the troopers put into every detail and how much dedication they have. ❤️
And it was very nice to see some faces we haven't seen in a while, and in camo! 😄
💜💚💛Absolutely Fabulous! I knew you would get us some behind the scenes video. These two videos were more than I could have imagined. If there were awards for Horse Guards videographers you would win them all. Thank you.
Proud of Our military service and Horse Guards Guarding our Royal Family ❤❤❤❤❤
WOW ! John. What a Scoop 😀 . 2 phemonenal videos. You are the best videographer at Horse Guards. So happy you were invited behind the scenes. You really deserved that invite 👍👌🤗
John that was absolutely fantastic I'm so proud to be British and to know what Magnificent Military and Horse's we have. You have done such a fantastic Job no wonder we all love you and the videos you do. Well done John i take my hat off to you. Stay safe John. ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
The guard in Monte is definitely one of my favourites. Love seeing him at Horse Guards. He doesn’t suffer fools gladly. 🇦🇺
They are all amazing and thank them for all the hard work for the horses and the Troopers. Thank you for all you do so someone like me, from Small Town, Ranburne,Alabama,USA🇺🇸👍🏼🏇💖💫are able to witness this momentous event.❤
When I read the results yesterday in the newspaper and saw the 8 that got through they said then that Montgomery and trooper Jeffrey was favourite to win but I don’t like it when they say that as I find it unlucky. However all us ladies that like Trooper Jeffrey hope he wins too so we are with you John. I heard an interview with him when he was a 15 year old cadet. So sweet.
Didn't know the trooper was called Jeffrey I just know him as aka Val Kilmer I named him ages ago lol fingers crossed for him. Always looks so smart in the box and aware of what's happening around him.
@@cathyb46his name is Ethan Jeffrey. The results of the 8 that got through was in the paper yesterday. However the overall winner will be announced on June 15 Kings Birthday Parade.
@suegermaine5730 Ooh a long time to wait. Hopefully the King will be well enough to attend.
@@suegermaine5730. Hi I live in Canada so I can’t see the results. Could you tell me who went through? Thank you 😊
What paper did you see the results in.
Thank you for part 2 and it must have been a wonderful and great honour for you to have been there. Ormonde wasn't so relaxed afterwards, probably too much hustle and bustle around him then he likes to become a no ear horse and snaps at anything that gets too close to him, no matter what rank. And speaking of ranks, I was able to pick up a lot of study material on the uniforms (also nice to see some familiar faces flitting by here and there), thanks a lot for that. Visually speaking - after all, I don't mess with people's picture material without asking permission first.
Over an hour for the troopers to be sitting as well as the horses staying in one place! All deserve medals!
Thank you so much John ! This is exactly what I have been craving! To go behind the scenes and see what goes into preparing these Troopers and horses . I loved both videos immensely. Please, if at all possible, show us more of the informal side of these dedicated ladies and gentlemen. Respect has been lacking recently for these soldiers and I feel like this kind of information serves to improve their standing in the public eye. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you, John. I agree with you about a Union flag flying permanently at Horse Guards.
Hi John you are privileged to have that opportunity you have done a great job you should be very proud ❤❤❤❤
Always amazed at how well trained these horses truly are. I was taught not to ever walk behind a horse without putting a hand on their rump to let them know you are there; yet these horses never react to someone behind them. Horses are brilliant! Can't help wondering if the sight of someone they are quite used to seeing while in the horse boxes helps to calm them; speaking of John, of course.
Fingers crossed that Monty and his rider get chosen. That would be awesome.❤❤❤
Hi, John. Thank you so much for sharing. I was waiting for the part 2. A great thank to the General of the Regiment that allowed you to film this beautiful and interesting event 😍
I think part 1 is my favorite of all We get to see how the horses and guards go thru everyday and the inside of the stables I loved that one
Hi John, Aloha from Hawaii. Just saw an update whereby our favorite horse, Montgomery, and his Blues and Royals Guard Ethan Jeffrey, made it as one the top eight guards. Congratulations on calling that one. He's my favorite guard anyway; his voice is commanding and powerful. Love them.
Fantastic John. Loved watching this. Monty or Northumberland for the win I hope ❤. That said I have a very soft spot for the Life Guard you pointed out in the line up after judging finished. It’s absolutely disgusting that some people are stealing your filming and posting as their own.
Once again we’ll done for being invited. It shows the high esteem you are regarded within the regiment
Good morning John from USA Im so happy for you on getting invited in there to film this Thank everyone of the guards troopers for letting us see this It’s very interesting to watch I loved every minute of it Thank you again ❤
Oh, John! This was such a great honor for you. Now you have to find out who won! Monty looked gorgeous as always. I thought I recognized the one Life Guard trooper, then I thought nah, it's just your imagination. LOL AND I did recognize 3 of the Blues and Royals, Mr. Mustache ( as I think of him with his magnificent voice), Monty's rider, who is gorgeous, and the lady guard. Thank you so much for sharing this. Those officers were grand too. Thank you! PS: the tune the trio was playing was Puttin' On the Ritz!
What a huge privilege to be invited. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi John the the lady blues and royals trooper on the end is excellent her horse never moved at all and she stayed so still
Well that was excellent such a priviledge thank you to everyone for such awonderful sight John you are so lucky bet youre still pinching yourself saying did that really happen to me was i really there Good luck to each and every Guard and horse you all get 10 out 10 from me ❤🐴
Thank you for your wonderful coverage John
What a privilege for you.
What a wonderful privilege for all of who are benefiting from the honor given John. Were so lucky to!
Monty and his trooper, deserve the win.
Hi John, What a wonderful privilege to be able to attend. Thank you so much for filming this, it's been a real treat to watch.
I have new favorite trooper! Vittorio, what a brilliant young man. Life Guards for the win, for myself I hope for J.J. or V.V. Good luck to all. Well done everyone! Thank you John.
Amazing, really great to see all this up close, I can see the lovely Ormonde at 33:22 first to the left of the screen there too 🥰
I am very grateful to you. It is an immense experience for those of us who love horses and what they mean to humans and the Nation. Thank you to all those who lovingly dedicate themselves to teaching us that we are one Universe. Not to mention the music, like the Nightingale of Berkley Square, which I adore. Perfect!
TY John! I'm so proud of and happy for you to be included in this moment and sharing it with us. Well done. Your an example for all. The history and work that goes on behind the scenes with the horses and guards. I so enjoy it. They work so hard and folks have no clue. What an honor. Words can't express what you do.
Both Regiments are winners to me, especially the Officers.
I'm happy they kept the traditions of Priness Margaret.
I always learn something from your videos John.😊
i saw my fave out there Ormonde!! he was the fidgt spooky butt. Classic him
The top four Troopers from each regiment form an escort for the King during Trooping the Colour as well.
Monty is my favorite, too. and the handsome Blues and Royals trooper. I agree about the flag I think it should be a permanent feature at the horse guards too.Very Interesting John. I have really enjoyed both of these videos: I am looking forward to knowing who won the cup: Kiwi
Stunning!! Thank you John. Showmanship at it finest!!
John that's Ormonde with the blues and royal guard with the 3 socks that was closest to you when they were lined up.
So happy to see a part 2! If you haven't seen part 1 you absolutely must! You don't want to miss meeting Harry (Atlas)!
First class job John, what a privilege to be allowed this level of access and how magnificent they all looked. You've captured the very essence of our traditions. Very proud to call this my counrty, and grateful to you for sharing your video.🇬🇧
Just an amazing day for you John and it's wonderful that you're able to share it with us on video. I know who I think should win but they've all done such a professional job - glad I didn't have to judge! Thanks so much for this treat. 🥰
John what a wonderful video youve made today , so interesting this morning part one , who ever wins these guys have worked their socks off today to make it so Special they are ALL WINNERS IN MY EYES WELL DONE CHAPS . HOW. Proud you should all feel I know your families will be . I use to be when my father showed at all the horse shows How proud I felt of him winning
It’s so lovely seeing these guy relaxing now smiling too.
Once again be proud it’s our history. Godbless keep safe
John be so PROUD OF YOURSELF YOU ALWAYS GIVE US GOOD INFORMATION BUT THIS WAS UP. AND BEYOND. THANKYOU
Enjoying this all the way from the bottom of the world, far away in New Zealand 🇳🇿 proud Commonwealth country.
🇬🇧👌 Wonderful to see part two. The personnel looked soo much more relaxed and relieved after the hour plus inspection. Magnificent to see the guards, mounts with all the senior officers lined up for the photoshoot towards the end. So so proud of you and all the military personnel. Just make sure no one pirates your wonderful footage please. 👌👏👏👏🇬🇧
That had to be very scary, that the horses could have lost their footing and fell. Could have been hurt as well as the trouper, so scary. What an honor that you are the only TH-camr and non news person being allowed to video this event. The General seems very young. I can imagine the horses as well as the Guards are ready to do some moving, tired of standing
Brilliant really great to see
So happy to see this part 2 of your Cup prep, and with cc, too!
Morning John! Another amazing video! I think they are all winners they all look so well put together and impressive to me I dont know how they could choose the best one. I love when they were all lined up together what a beautiful picture that is going to be. I love the interview he gave towards the end everything he said is correct. Its wonderful how even though its a competition they still work together and support each other through it all! Thank you for the 2nd part of the video its really a treat and an honor.
I feel so honored to have witnessed the behind the scene work and effort that goes into their day. Aberration or not, truly impressive
Thanks John really enjoyed both parts. I think the horse you said that got spooked was called Lancelot from the end of part 1 when you asked someone. Apart from Monty the only other one I recognized was Northumberland who we saw being prepared in part 1.
We are in agreement as usual. Lol😊
The one and only Ormonde.
Wonderful follow on video, John. We are so lucky to be able to enjoy this rare look behind the doors. Your narrative just adds so much. I especially liked the final photo ops near the end with all the brass lined up in front. Another tremendous video, John; and thank you.
Wow. That was super amazing to see all the work that goes into the horse guard. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you again John for giving us all access to these behind the scenes. Aren't they all magnificent. So proud to be British.
It is herd reaction horses being herd animals will react if one of the other horses shows fear for whatever reason, it doesn't matter what set the horse off the horses perceive its fear and also react by getting scared too. Most herds would run away these horses can't. Shame about the weather could be a contributing factor too. Horses, judges, and troopers all getting soggy 😪 This is getting very exciting Well done to all the troopers and horses they all looked absolutely wonderful! when do we know who has won John? I think the horses did very well standing still in that horrible wet weather as did the guards and everyone present. Thanks so much for part two I have greatly enjoyed both parts💖
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That was marvelous!
They all look so beautiful horses and guards I would pick them all up thank you again John what a smashing day ❤❤
Mijn Engels is niet best, dus ik begreep er niet zoveel van, maar vond het desalniettemin erg leuk om te zien! Groetjes vanuit Nederland!
I love the rain John so AMSR time for me. Thank you for standing out in it to bring us this amazing video. I really have learned so much from you John.
The horses look beautiful. It's a pity it's such a horrible wet day. I feel sorry for the troopers getting their uniform wet. Well done John ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐as usual.
a great tool to allow people to see and appreciate the huge amount of effort that goes into getting the horse and trooper presentation ready. This type of insight enables civvies to see the workload and teamwork it takes and hopefully with that comes a hell of a lot more respect. Great job John and i hope you let us know who the winners are....
Blues and Royals! Love ‘em!
Thank you for getting this amazing opportunity to film this, and thanks to the Regiments for allowing this wonderful behind the scenes look.
Hi John I do love to see behind the scenes videos, I’m watching from Australia and find it very interesting hope to see more.
Hello John. Be proud of being invited to see this special behind the scenes of our loved Horse Guards. ❤ I’m jealous lol. Well done on videoing this. I love your channel as you talk and explain to all of us what is going on. What a Great Experience for All of us. Bravo ❤
There all WINNERS ❤
THEY'RE
I vote Ormonde, first on the left. I think I saw Tyranny in the group.
Thank u so much for this beautiful video!! All the guards troopers are winners in my eyes😊 Hats off to everyone involved 👏👏👏love from the USA🇺🇸🇬🇧🤗
Thanks John for posting part 2 and for the close up of my favourite Horse Ormonde 31:28.

I wish one thing all tourist be respectful to all guards in UK. There military they work hard . If I was there looking at them close I would tell them so proud of you in everything you do. Even though I'm not from UK 🇬🇧. Love watching your videos keep up the good work .loyal watcher..... they all win in my eyes
