    For those who think the horses are abused: The horses stand for one hour, with those types of bits, and won't be back for another one-hour duty for a week. There is a load of info on the horses on here and the internet. it isn't what you think. The horses have regular bits and bridles just like my horse Bert. These bits are a roller bit and a curved bit I was told by a commenter. Some of the horses play with them you can hear the horses who like to clink them together. One of the horses likes to have his tongue out. These horses weigh in at 1200 pounds. They are Irish Draught. The horses are trained to hear the bells and they know their duty is over for a week or more. They know they will be pampered for the rest of the day, every day. Watch some of the videos on here with the horses and the Guards at the seaside...it's beautiful. You will notice the horses act like children rolling in the sand. My horse, Bert, is nowhere the size of these beasts. Necks as thick as tree trunks. THE GUARDS (sigh) "The Household Cavalry own some of the finest horses in all of England, stabled up at the Hyde Park Barracks in central London. There are 235 glossy blacks, 14 ice-cool greys, and four drum horses that make up the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. Love these videos!

      Я из Молдовы и английский понимаю очень плохо, но я всё-таки смогла прочитать надпись на табличке рядом с гвардейцем, о том, что не надо подходить и трогать, что лошадь может ударить или укусить. Но похоже, что все туристы вообще не умеют читать- все лезут к лошади , хватают за повод, трогают её. И хотя лошади гвардейцев специально обучены всё равно это очень опасно. Ведь от людей пахнет по разному и лошадь может испугаться резкого и неприятного для неё запаха. Какие глупые люди, и какие замечательные лошади. А у гвардейцев вообще сложная служба. Отвечают и за себя и за лошадь. Это очень сложно!

      YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!!
      AT LEAST THAT WAS ONE OF THE RULES WE MUST FOLLOW AT THE MOUNTED POLICE DIVISION WHERE I USED TO WORK AT!! ACTUALLY THE SAME RULES APPLIED FOR ALL THE 11 MOUNTED POLICE DIVISIONS WE HAD AROUND ALL 11 POLICING 🚔 AREAS. BY THAT TIME WE HAD MORE THAN 100 EQUINES AND TRAINED JOCKEY POLICE ENFORCEMENT AGENTS + FEDERAL AGENTS. BASICALLY FROM EVERY SINGLE FEDERAL POLICE UNIT OR AGENCY WE WERE WALKING WITH THEM.
      WE NEVER WANTED PEOPLE TO GET HURT, NONE TO BE SUED NEITHER, SPECIALLY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS BASICALLY 99% AVOIDABLE DURING A NORMAL 🐎 HORSE/HUMAN INTERACTION.
      USING COMMON SENSE, KNOWING THAT AS HORSES THEY WILL BEHAVE FIRST LIKE ANIMALS AND SECONDLY AS TRAINED EQUINES.
      AT THE MOMENT POLICE HORSES ARE MOUNTED THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TO RESET THEIR BEHAVIOR PATTERNS FROM BEEN SPOILED AND PLAYFUL TO WORK AND TAKING DOWN RIOTS + CRIMINALS APPREHENSIONS.
      SO YES, JUST LIKE OUR MINDSETS CHANGE DURING A NERVERECKING SITUATION, THE SAME THING HAPPENS WITH EQUINES AND K-9 OFFICERS. IT IS A 360° DEGREE VISUALLY CHANGE FOR BOTH; THE EQUINES AND HIS/HERS JOCKEY PARTNER.
      SO NEXT TIME IF YOU SEE A FIGHT AND RIOT KNOWING THAT THE MOUNTED POLICE OS AROUND, TRY TO RUN QUICKLY TO THE OPPOSITE SITE OF THE SITUATION.
      THOSE ARE MY
      2 CENTS OVER A SITUATION LIKE THAT BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT, BEEN THERE & DONE THAT...AND AIN'T FUNNY AT ALL.
      GOD BLESS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF Y'ALL!!!

      As someone who lives next door to a bison ranch in WY, home of Yellowstone Pk, I can tell you the stories about idiot tourists are not exaggerated. Having also grown up around them in the Rockies, they can literally turn their bulky bodies on a dime. Something I've always been aware of and choose to respect.
      While on field assignment for the USGS, I was snapping pics of bison grazing in small groups which would be used for a poster. Very, very expensive cam and center of my concern. I had been accompanied by the ranch Mgr and at my signal, he stopped and I jumped out, and started shooting. After five minutes or so stopped to see if I had enough shots and the feeling that my personal space had been invaded overwhelmed me. Turning my head ever so slightly over my right shoulder I saw the hind quarters of a yearling bison. My body followed my head and I found myself face to face with him, staring into a pair of the most breath-taking dark eyes framed by gorgeous lush eyelashes. I froze and he froze. Staring at each other. Finally, I realized I'd left the truck's door open and took a giant leap backward, and then one more back into the truck slamming the door. He trotted right over and kinda forlornly gazed in the window. As we drove off the Mgr finally stopped laughing, saying Damn, a real life bison stare down! I couldn't help thinking, no kidding, at least it wasn't a stomp down.

      What does it take for them to get in??? My little is 7 and has severe ADHD. We have no idea how he will be once he is older. He seems to have a lot of things amiss with him that don't have a diagnosis. We hope, of course, that he will be fine and that he's just a late bloomer due to his rough start in life.
      Anywho...he's born here in the US but he has dual citizenship with the UK, and he will be moving there in June after school is over for this semester. Since I know literally NOTHING about the UK besides some brief history, terminology differences, and respect all around, I know nothing about the qualifications and such to become a King's Guard. What should I be looking at?? What should I teach him?? I know he would have to get his ADHD under control in order to stand still for any length of time.

      I'm so sorry for your friend. Yep, run-ins with horses can have very serious consequences. Having horses myself, I have many friends who've had incredibly dangerous accidents--at least three had to be airlifted to trauma centers. There was one situation where the horse was airlifted out of a canyon after the rider came off and the horse went down the mountain (thankfully both survived with minor injuries). And these are very experienced horse people who understand horse behavior. Accidents happen in the blink of an eye. The public is massively stupid when it comes to interfacing with strange animals that weigh 1,200 to 1,800 pounds.

      Well most of them do like the attention, there's a few who don't but the humans don't usually use the moody ones for busy days and don't force a horse public facing if they're not comfy. Horse has usually three chances to quit before they let it quit. The horses absolutely can and do communicate their discomfort and the horsemen involved do pay attention and consider it. The horses shifts aren't all the long either, compared to other mounted police work.

Same as a security guard at a venue, do you think they would want thousands of people daily chatting to them. Better to just show them respect and stop touching the horses and stand your distance for a picture. Same as people are not going to keep approaching the men with their guns guarding either.

      INCORRECT - If you're talking about the occurrence at about 15:15 - the horse didn't like to back into the guard house. Another guard tried to help line the horse up to back in. If you'll notice, the horse circled around to the back (so walk straight in - first time at about 14:30) two different times instead of backing in. Perhaps a quirk of this horse. He was never spooked.

I heard a British Woman shout out to a tourist who was petting the horse don't touch the horse. The guard shouted back it's my horse not your horse she can touch the horse.

      These troopers are often just starting out on their careers. Ceremonial duties are rightly considered to be good training for the battlefield. Put it this way, if you can manage yourself and your mount, ensure your kit is IMPECCABLE and master the armies riding course, you're brave, smart, calm under pressure and able to follow instructions with great attention to detail... all great traits in a soldier. If this IS their first duty, they ARE young. Early 20s mostly. Many will go on after a few years to the armoured regiment who are able to be called up at any time. It's sobering to imagine that one of these Soldiers could be in a war zone in a few years but it's a fact. Sometimes they may come back for another stint in the ceremonial arm, and some alternate hence the older faces here and there. A lot of older soldiers either rank up or decide not to re enlist which is why there's a fairly constant turnover.

    Why is it where ever tourists are 75% leave their common sense at home but bring double dose of entitlement and ‘but I’m special’ attitude with them. I’d like to make a tourist who insists on touch to stand there and be touched however many times the horse was touched in the previous hour.
    I’d also like to see ‘this is London, a working city, not Disney’ because so many seem to think it is Disney.

    Where is this? What building?
    I wouldn’t call what the horse did going into a frenzy, though. He was certainly disquieted and restless, but still very calm. A horse in a “frenzy” will be rearing up, kicking, and thrashing around - *massively* more agitated than this.

    Excellent team work between the Gatesman and the Boxman on controlling that beautiful horse. The MOD police also played their part. Thank you for this video.
