It is obvious that something is stressing the horse......Why isn't this addressed as an issue to those that are familiar with the house? I am an 81 year old, live in Maine, USA, and I enjoy watching the Guards, the horses, and all the things that you show in the videos. It is amazing to me, how many folks, in the public, are so rude, when it comes to these practices, and the King's Guard. I find these things all beautiful. Thanks for showing us! Bev in Maine
These horses stand for hours at a time... that is stressful enough because all they want to be doing is grazing and running in the pastures. These horses are used for one purpose only and that's to stand there as a showpeice for tourist because the King and Queens don't use Palace guard as security anymore. It's all pageantry. The horses go back to the stables once their shift is over. And that particular horse is used the most often... can you imagine just standing in one spot all day with a rider on your back.
@@Meriale46The horses don’t stand for hours at a time. They stand for one hour and then they’re replaced by the next shift. Unfortunately in that area of London there are regular protest marches that often spook the horses. I think I can here a loudspeaker in the background or maybe not. Horses occasionally get spooked, and if they do and the guard doesn’t get them under control, they’re eventually taken back in, for everyone’s safety. That is not a palace, it’s horse guards which is a military establishment.
@@Meriale46 Get your facts straight, the guards & horses don’t stand all day, they do a 1 hour rotational shift, they are brought water in hot weather & if there are any issues (like being stung by a wasp) they are relieved from duty immediately & are replaced. The horses receive the best of care, they are highly trained, as are the guards who are SERVING members of the British Forces, they are not there to be a tourist attraction they are on duty protecting a Royal Palace!
@@gaynorball5233 This is a serious question: where are the horses taken after their shift? I can't imagine that there are nice green areas in the middle of London where the horses can relax and eat grass. So from the shift to the stables, then back to work, back to the stables. I imagine that would be very horrible. Even if they only have to work for 1 hour.
I didn't see any armed officers rushing to check the reins of the horse. Many thanks to the tourist who spotted an issue that we might not have been able to see from the video.
They cover up mistakes like that to keep up their appearance...those reins should be checked before they go on duty. Remember they are only human...everyone makes mistakes.
The lady trooper was trying to reassure the horse until the police eventually arrivied and the tourist who asked if the trooper needed help. Looks like it was a tack problem the horse had. The Captain or the Lieutenant asked questions more than anyone else. A nit late in the day. But the lady trooper is very experienced with any horse she rides. What is it about that left hand box that upset some of the horse when using that box.
The guard is oblivious when the poor horse was lowering his head and stomping its hoof over and over trying to tell him that something was wrong and all he did was pull harder on the reins and bit in the poor horses mouth. I didn't see anyone actually help the horse after the tourist pointed out an issue. Shameful! It's all Pomp and. Circumstance. and really not necessary when you have armed guards there. No one is going to jump off of a horse to use those swords on anyone.
To me the guard was admirably calm despite the fact that the horse was not. He maintained full control of the animal the whole time. These horses must be selected for proximity to and acclimated to crowds of tourists, just as their predecessors had to be calm about the sounds of gunfire. It is possible that this particular horse was new to the job so to speak. Notice that after they moved out of the guard shack, he stood quite still. It wasn't the reins.
Didn't see any " rushing " and there was nothing wrong with his reins , the lady Trooper is one of the most experienced and a superb horsewoman if anything was wrong she would know .
Welll this lady Trooper is having an "off" day then; because shes making some rookie mistakes. Ill fitting tack is the issue. The bit is way to large for this horses mouth. 8:46, 9:10, 9:17 time stamps show how big the bit is. Its causing the horse discomfort. He keeps chomping at the bit and moving around because he's trying to get it positioned better in his mouth, in the center of his mouth. The bit keeps moving side to side. A smaller sized bit will not allow side to side movement like that. And then you can hear metal clanging together. Thats from this large bit clanging against the snaffle bit behind it. With this being a double bridle, it's crucial that proper fit and proper sized bits are being used. If not, this can cause sores and blisters inside the horses mouth and around the lip area. And then the next thing is that her swords sheath was getting in the way of her left spur. She was trying to back him back into the guard house and he wasn't reponding to her leg cues on the left side. When she does get him back inside, you will see her look down at her left boot a couple of times, baffled why he wasn't responding to her cue. These are all basic things that even least experienced riders should know. When those people mentioned the reins, what was happening was that the bit slid all the way to the riders right side, causing the ornate metal cheekpiece on the left to go into the horses mouth. Thats the whole reason why the horse was being fussy and agitated.
Something IsWrong with the tack .... the martingale strap connecting to the headstall is NOT connected properly , it should be connected to the same ring the silver chain is. Someone goofed and the horse suffered. I suspect that someone will be read the riot act 😢
Actually he's bored, there is a tiny set of rings in the middle of a curb bit and they can spin them with their tongue...many do for entertainment I guess.
At 10:10 a civilian with a beard and pushing a lady in a wheelchair approaches and points to the side of his own jaw while talking with the mounted guard. While the tourist is speaking, one of the armed police officers walks up, assesses the situation, then backs the crowd away so horse and rider can leave the area. It may have been in response to the comments by the tourist, or it may have simply been time for them to exit for the end of shift inspection. Regardless, it was "immediate" in context with the tourist, and this is when it all happened. I'm a minimally experienced equestrian, so I'm not certain, but it appeared from the horse's body language that there was a problem with the fitment of the bit...or the horse might have needed more training. Either way, the bit/bridle was definitely bothering the horse to the point of making it agitated. This "tourist" seemed to be trying to communicate the same idea to the mounted guard. It is easy to miss because the "tourist" is being somewhat low-key and keeping his distance in an apparent attempt to show respect for the location and situation.
@@NT5RA_Still_Learning I noticed that the chain that goes up to the bit was behind the leather breast collar, unlike that of the other horse's tack. It might have made it feel odd for the horse. In the inspection the officer talked to that Guard more than the other Guard. The officer might have noticed it too.
There is a small cadre of video makers here. It is not uncommon for them to take note a mount giving it’s trooper a hard time and tipping off the police about it. The same is true foe Gates-man too, I know John of London City Walks is a frequent aid.
I did NOT see any officer RUSHING over to help with anything. What a crock of $&(t. That horse was obviously upset about something, it seemed as if the bit might have been out of place. But the poor horse got NO help!
I’ve noticed the horses quite often are biting on the bit a lot in quite a lot of the videos I’ve watched, that’s a sign of nervousness or discomfort. Why are these horses constantly put in situations like this? Who wants to be hounded by tourists 24/7, we as humans wouldn’t want that, so why put a horse through that?
@@LindaBartkowiak Bless your heart sweetie, it’s so cute that you think I’d need to be there 24/7 to know that each horse isn’t out there 24/7. 🤣🤣🤣 Fact - the horses are changed every hour in front of anyone and everyone who happens to be watching at the time. Fact - no horses are out all night, so no 24/7 duty. I think the last horse comes in at either 4 or 5 pm. It’ll all be documented on google somewhere, you could have found it out for yourself since you were so concerned for this fictional horse who was on duty 24/7. And you thought I’d need to be there 24/7 to know what goes on, oh dear. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Those horses are treated better than most people. The guards always make sure they protect the horses with every person that goes near them. You can hear them over and over telling people not to touch the horse, don't feed them, don't touch the reins. For the people who can't read the sign. God bless everyone and the guards who not only protect the Royal family but their horses also.
He might have something minor wrong, yes.. However they have the Kings best animal Vets on duty and are taken in at any minor sign of discomfort... All these "experts" who actually know *nothing annoy me as a British person. The assumption and negativity shows the state of their own minds!!
what other animals can you see what they are saying? that's a truly magical gift is it like you can read their mind and see what they are thinking and on a video? that's amazing!! you need to tell someone about this. or maybe they're just signs the horse is bored and cant be bothered with people coming up to it and decided to act up a little bit.
@@Rcc3350 these guards know how to change the guard yet they have their officer yell what to do so I fail to see your point? also do you tell your dog to sit down or to give paw? the dog knows what to do by your gesture but yet you still tell it what to do? that's actually so cruel of you.... duh
Could anyone tell me why they dont use rubber shoes i know they exist and it seems like being on hard surface it would be more healthy for the joints ?
This may well indicate the bridle is too loose and needs to be cinched up a notch on the strap going down the check. Also checking that the bit is in the mouth properly in between the teeth.
Uniforms shiny and clean, sword same, but the building needs a coat of paint and filler, not to mention the shit in the arch the horses have to stand in! What sort of display is it when dirty in front of public? So many times these horses play up, and no wonder in these conditions and often with a wrongly placed bit, as in this case. As with any horse, if a rider is on it, it is more comfortable for the horse to walk about than to be standing almost still, for some time especially an hour! If you try carrying a load on your back, in proportion to your size , of course and stand still it wont be as easy as walking , circulation and alternative muscles in use. Now if they were to have rottweiler guards, not the riders although some sound like they are, they would not have to remove them as soon as a protest came along, nor would any visitor go near them.
Part of the routine, "Hey, horse, I'm getting off now.."(loud whack on hotse's neck)🤚. Horse : " Yes, yes, I know ! And stop whacking so hard, please ! Struth, that was a boring hour in that smelly box.. Trojan's peed in there again....." See you back at the stable, get this metal thing out of my mouth ..😠. how would you like it?" Are the oats ready ? I want berry granola..." 🇬🇧🐎🌹🐎💙😢🐎🇬🇧
@@keithdenyer3937 imagine if you had all your clothes and a nice thick furry coat on and a jack Russell paws at you, doesn't really do much does it? also you notice how the horse is bored and plays up? why doesn't it just lose its absolute mind when being abused so much? like surely that's enough to send it into some sort of rage to just randomly get hit and hurt?? or maybe they're trained and dont feel it?
I understand she needs to maintain contact and control within the reins - however the addition of the double reins, the twin bits and the chin chain is a bit much in his mouth. Obviously the horse is uncomfortable with his bridle rigging by the constant motion , shaking of his head and heaviness in hand. This is not the first time I’ve seen this similar issue with the royal guard horses. It needs to be reevaluated. Along with this - the addition of maybe some sawdust or something on the ground to soak up the pee and possibly dampen the smell would add stability to the horse on those slick cobblestones. Adding to the safety and comfort of both people and horses.
Some really stupid comments from people who know absolutely nothing about horses! These are expert riders, and the horses get the best of care. Some overemotional soul wanted them all turned loose! Lord protect us from that mentality!
Horses love that smell…..itidentifies who "owns" that spot. Comment on thing you know something about, please. It is amazing that a horse who is standing there entertaining himself needs to be rescued by somedo gooder. Well.
There's one guard who is always looking down at the ground, whether walking or standing to attention! I really wish they would correct that! It makes him look guilty of something! Bad neck problems or his helmet is too heavy? Head up, man! Stand tall and proud! I'm surprised the Captain didn’t correct him whilst he was there! Maybe he does have neck problems? 😮
That large police officer does a fantastic job protecting the guard and the general public. He is ever vigilant and ready to react immefiately if needed.
That's not a rein its the breastplate that is attached to the saddle to stop it slipping , the chain is a tether chain used to attach the horses to a line in campaign days so they could be fed and watered safely together . It will cause no problems .
The reins are caught on his chest .but there was no one rushing to help and no one pointed anything out. They weren't to far from changing the guards . the horse is fighting the bit. Ready to go . the guard was more worried about his boot being scuffed than his horse being in stressed as they were getting ready to go
What really grinds my gears, is the fact that people from where ever they come from can go over there and mess with those guards like that, then when the rude ones get their arses handed to them they run away crying how mean the guards.
The chain connected to the bit was behind the leather strap on the horses chest. It's supposed to be in front of the strap. It was pulling down too much on the bit.
So much yelling. Such an easy solution. Paint and half circle with a beautiful Crest. The Tourists are not to cross and horses have something to look at.
I'd say, the possibilities of bit misadjustments and other malfunctions occur pretty commonly. Horses, are asked to do things out of the norm. All in the name of tradition. They don't know, tradition. They don't know standing for 45 minutes at a time, while hundreds of people walk around them poking, grabbing, trying to touch them. And still be perfectly in control. I'm honestly surprised more things don't go adrift. How would any of us appreciate a piece of metal in our mouths for hours and longer? With some person pulling on it, making it even more uncomfortable?
This was absolutely atrocious. People were ALERTED THE HORSE WAS IN STRESS YET IGNORED IT AND PUT THE POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE ABOVE THE DISCOMFORT OF THE HORSE.NOT ONE PERSON CAME TO THE HORSE'S AID AND ACTUALLY HELPED.tHE GENTLEMAN ON THE HORSE DOES NOT NEED TO BE MUTE WHEN AN ANIMAL IS IN PAIN.
The care of these animals is horrid. Shameful. Just pay attention to their individual body language, eventually you will be able to tell them apart and their personalities. I’ve, in my head have named them ❤ by appearance or behavior. For example.. “two socks” is a naughty but if you pay attention, he has interest in little people. Look at their work atmosphere, it’s horrid. They have “learned” to or protect themselves by biting, kicking.. stepping on a persons foot… to curb the undesirable way they are approached. I look at this like animal abuse.. ant the guards look extremely over the bs as well. Entitled people with zero respect for ANYTHING… not following simple rules.. not hard at all. THE ANIMALS ALWAYS LOSE… SHAMEFUL.
If all of them were such superb horseman they wouldn’t need the type of bit they use. It’s supposedly the most comfortable bit with the most control for the rider. Important part control for the rider not comfort for the horse. If it was so comfortable for the horse, the horse wouldn’t be foaming sometimes
Help is ages in coming. What are those who are meant to help doing? Having their cup of tea. Not interested in their job?Look at them strolling in.The olive I mean. The poor horse.
that rider was not paying attention to his horse the horse was in pain and it took a tourist to point it out..i hope that rider/handler is sent back to horse school and learns how to spot the issue's and signs of the horse in distress and if that rider does not learn he should be forbidden to ride horses
Why do the Household cavalry not have their ranks on their uniforms, they have trade badges so why not ranks it would be so much easier to identify them than the shoulder cords which confuse the hell out of most people?
Can't they tell the horses hate those bits! ... I don't know if they don't use them right or what. But you can see they are not comfortable with them, ever!
There definitely IS something wrong with the reins set-u[p. Those bits they use seem like theyre 10 times too large for the horse and they actually gag occasionall when
There is no excuse. The guard on the horse should have known the first 10 minutes something wrong with the horse.. besides the horse not remotely settling. He had to see the head moving what he was doing with his mouth. It was obvious something was bugging the horse. Never seen a horse look like a cow chewing its cud constantly. That is sad.
I know next to nothing about horses or tack so I don't know if there was anything wrong or not. I just know this video was as long and basically boring as most of the others of it's kind, and also, most of the titles are exaggerated.

What sort of display is it when dirty in front of public? So many times these horses play up, and no wonder in these conditions and often with a wrongly placed bit, as in this case. As with any horse, if a rider is on it, it is more comfortable for the horse to walk about than to be standing almost still, for some time especially an hour! If you try carrying a load on your back, in proportion to your size , of course and stand still it wont be as easy as walking , circulation and alternative muscles in use.
Now if they were to have rottweiler guards, not the riders although some sound like they are, they would not have to remove them as soon as a protest came along, nor would any visitor go near them.
The buildings are not painted .
Its stone. As far as the horse poop, It is cleaned up regularly. You think someone is supposed to film that and post it?
So the guard thats sitting on the horse is totally ignoring that the horse is in distress 😠 . Shame on her or him
Why do the troopers wack the necks n sides of horse .... sometimes seem quite a hard wack
I think it's not necessary, the horse knows the routine when the rider will dismount, sometimes it's a whack and three quarters.
Part of the routine,
"Hey, horse, I'm getting
off now.."(loud whack
on hotse's neck)🤚.
Horse : " Yes, yes,
I know ! And stop
whacking so hard,
please !
Struth, that was a
boring hour in that
smelly box.. Trojan's
peed in there again....."
See you back at the
stable, get this metal
thing out of my mouth ..😠.
how would you like it?"
Are the oats ready ?
I want berry granola..."

@@keithdenyer3937 imagine if you had all your clothes and a nice thick furry coat on and a jack Russell paws at you, doesn't really do much does it? also you notice how the horse is bored and plays up? why doesn't it just lose its absolute mind when being abused so much? like surely that's enough to send it into some sort of rage to just randomly get hit and hurt?? or maybe they're trained and dont feel it?
The horses know when their hour is up and get restless sometimes.
Horses will tell you when they are in distress. Bits have been brought up more times than I can count, and nothing changes. 🐎 😢
I understand she needs to maintain contact and control within the reins - however the addition of the double reins, the twin bits and the chin chain is a bit much in his mouth. Obviously the horse is uncomfortable with his bridle rigging by the constant motion , shaking of his head and heaviness in hand. This is not the first time I’ve seen this similar issue with the royal guard horses. It needs to be reevaluated. Along with this - the addition of maybe some sawdust or something on the ground to soak up the pee and possibly dampen the smell would add stability to the horse on those slick cobblestones. Adding to the safety and comfort of both people and horses.
Some really stupid comments from people who know absolutely nothing about horses! These are expert riders, and the horses get the best of care. Some overemotional soul wanted them all turned loose! Lord protect us from that mentality!
The horse was getting restless! Poor horse...
Where are the horse's blinders? He's seeing way too much activity and it's freaking him out.
Os guardas da Rainha estão sempre impecáveis.
Yes u are right I hope.they read this and do some.a bout it that thanks sharing 😊😊
The ground is full of sh*t, the stench that must be inside the cubicle.
Horses love that smell…..itidentifies who "owns" that spot. Comment on thing you know something about, please. It is amazing that a horse who is standing there entertaining himself needs to be rescued by somedo gooder. Well.
Who reported that was just trying to get attention - wish they wouldn’t do that! Sounded quite dangerous !give me strength !!!! 🙄🙄🙄
I’m appalled by this . Cruel as far as I’m conserned
There's one guard who is always looking down at the ground, whether walking or standing to attention! I really wish they would correct that! It makes him look guilty of something! Bad neck problems or his helmet is too heavy? Head up, man! Stand tall and proud! I'm surprised the Captain didn’t correct him whilst he was there! Maybe he does have neck problems? 😮
What exactly is wrong with reins. He has a martingale on. But I don't see it. It is not your job.
Thank you for showing the area around the palace.
That large police officer does a fantastic job protecting the guard and the general public. He is ever vigilant and ready to react immefiately if needed.
WHAT DID THE ARMED OFFICERS DO? THE HORSE IS VERY STRESSED,
Nothing, as per usual!
Seems that the big beauty had an issue and was a wee bit stressed about something. Brilliant control by the guard
If you blow up the picture. You can see the chain coming down around horses chest, is caught under the rein that attaches under the horses neck.
That's not a rein its the breastplate that is attached to the saddle to stop it slipping , the chain is a tether chain used to attach the horses to a line in campaign days so they could be fed and watered safely together . It will cause no problems .
@@kathellison8084exactly its a tie down and is not causing any concern
if you really zoom in yiu can actually see moss growing from 2 months prior to the video isn't that mental! also no you cant
Wow.@20:14 you can clearly see the issue w the bit, especially compared to the other horses’ gear…
Poor horse, how long do they have to stand there in little cubby hole thing?
They are only there for one hour xx
4 hours on 2 hours off
No
@@sueshoker ONLY an hour! Imagine standing STILL for an animal and with a heavy load on the back, circled by crowds!
And are replaced often before that@@sueshoker
Doesn't help the horse to smack it for no reason, stressed or not, was uncalled for but, this is Britain/UK.
are theses Met Officers ? if so how do you know the difference?
This program is always a mess as they never show you what is supposed to have happened. It's a scam always.
The reins are caught on his chest .but there was no one rushing to help and no one pointed anything out. They weren't to far from changing the guards . the horse is fighting the bit. Ready to go . the guard was more worried about his boot being scuffed than his horse being in stressed as they were getting ready to go
The reins are not caught up on his chest, thats a tie down that goes from the throat latch on the bridle to the breast collar
What really grinds my gears, is the fact that people from where ever they come from can go over there and mess with those guards like that, then when the rude ones get their arses handed to them they run away crying how mean the guards.
The chain connected to the bit was behind the leather strap on the horses chest. It's supposed to be in front of the strap. It was pulling down too much on the bit.
I think they need to get the horse checked it is obviously in some sort of trouble
At last it is 4pm i can get out of here
Stirrups looked uneven
So much yelling. Such an easy solution. Paint and half circle with a beautiful Crest. The Tourists are not to cross and horses have something to look at.
I thought exactly the same thing
Yeah, good question. Why do you keep shutting it off and turning it on stop?
I'd say, the possibilities of bit misadjustments and other malfunctions occur pretty commonly. Horses, are asked to do things out of the norm. All in the name of tradition. They don't know, tradition. They don't know standing for 45 minutes at a time, while hundreds of people walk around them poking, grabbing, trying to touch them. And still be perfectly in control. I'm honestly surprised more things don't go adrift. How would any of us appreciate a piece of metal in our mouths for hours and longer? With some person pulling on it, making it even more uncomfortable?
It shouldn’t be allowed there was obviously a problem with the horses mouth his rider should have called someone to swap him over that’s really cruel
RIDER JUST PUT THEIR REPUTATION BEFORE THE PAIN OF THE HORSE
This was absolutely atrocious. People were ALERTED THE HORSE WAS IN STRESS YET IGNORED IT AND PUT THE POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE ABOVE THE DISCOMFORT OF THE HORSE.NOT ONE PERSON CAME TO THE HORSE'S AID AND ACTUALLY
HELPED.tHE GENTLEMAN ON THE HORSE DOES NOT NEED TO BE MUTE WHEN AN ANIMAL IS IN PAIN.
Horse says" bit is bothering me, please get out of my face, occifer"
If that's what they call rushing to his aid beggars believe Hope he's alright 👍
RIDER Should have realised horse was in distress ..most riders would, im surprised he didnt.
This is not the first time these horses have resins problems. These horse are always working their mouth in distressed.
The horse that was acting up had the chain behind the leather breast collar. Could that have cased the acting up?
The care of these animals is horrid. Shameful. Just pay attention to their individual body language, eventually you will be able to tell them apart and their personalities. I’ve, in my head have named them ❤ by appearance or behavior. For example.. “two socks” is a naughty but if you pay attention, he has interest in little people. Look at their work atmosphere, it’s horrid. They have “learned” to or protect themselves by biting, kicking.. stepping on a persons foot… to curb the undesirable way they are approached. I look at this like animal abuse.. ant the guards look extremely over the bs as well. Entitled people with zero respect for ANYTHING… not following simple rules.. not hard at all.
THE ANIMALS ALWAYS LOSE… SHAMEFUL.
Beautiful video. 💜
It would be so nice to have a bit of commentary as to what is happening. Especially for people who are not present.
If all of them were such superb horseman they wouldn’t need the type of bit they use. It’s supposedly the most comfortable bit with the most control for the rider. Important part control for the rider not comfort for the horse. If it was so comfortable for the horse, the horse wouldn’t be foaming sometimes
It was obvious that SOMETHING in the horse's mouth was bothering him
It drives me nuts when I see their saddle is crooked. 😅😮
That horse is in pain, what are you talking about, something is definately wrong because he is trying to get his bit out of his mouth...
Horse does not want anyone around him
It's obvious the horse is in pain. They do not constantly chomp at the bit unless something is wrong.
That horse is in destress . It’s been going on far to long no one’s taking it seriously. Come on give the horse attention here to find out what it is
Help is ages in coming. What are those who are meant to help doing? Having their cup of tea. Not interested in their job?Look at them strolling in.The olive I mean. The poor horse.
Not olive, police. Auto error
that rider was not paying attention to his horse the horse was in pain and it took a tourist to point it out..i hope that rider/handler is sent back to horse school and learns how to spot the issue's and signs of the horse in distress and if that rider does not learn he should be forbidden to ride horses
absolutely rider did not do her job
Is that what you call rushing- Oh the drama 😅
I dont agree with smacking the horse the heavier guy hit harder . After that horse lugged him around all day. Dc what who or what country thats wrong.
I am not familiar with horse gear, but it looks to me that the horse is trying to tell them something is wrong in its mouth.
Didn't see help given.
Why do the Household cavalry not have their ranks on their uniforms, they have trade badges so why not ranks it would be so much easier to identify them than the shoulder cords which confuse the hell out of most people?
That horse is obviously in pain. Producing excessive saliva is a clue.
The man said something was wrong with the positioning of the bit, not the reins.
Everyone has their good and bad days ,even horses.
The horse furthest away was like looking at the Other horses like behave the boss's ear
Can't they tell the horses hate those bits! ... I don't know if they don't use them right or what. But you can see they are not comfortable with them, ever!
There definitely IS something wrong with the reins set-u[p. Those bits they use seem like theyre 10 times too large for the horse and they actually gag occasionall when
Is he not allowed to get off horse to check??
There is no excuse. The guard on the horse should have known the first 10 minutes something wrong with the horse.. besides the horse not remotely settling. He had to see the head moving what he was doing with his mouth. It was obvious something was bugging the horse. Never seen a horse look like a cow chewing its cud constantly. That is sad.
Before they dismount, why do they whack the horse, is it a signal of sorts?
Before dismounting, why did they hit the horse?
I know next to nothing about horses or tack so I don't know if there was anything wrong or not. I just know this video was as long and basically boring as most of the others of it's kind, and also, most of the titles are exaggerated.
Why did the female trooper smack the horse’s neck and side before she got off of him?
