Poor horse must be sick of all those people pawing at him.

He’s not saying hello, he saying get out of my space…😮

John..I don't mean to be rude but the lady that got bitten was Canadian who understands the signs..it was her own fault..I just pray they don't blame poor Lincoln like they did the lovely Indigo when the lady fell after she had had 3 warnings from ĥim previosly..your concern is praiseworthy but it was HER FAULT..I am more concerned about Lincoln being blamed rather than a stupid moman who should have known better..rant over but thank you for your concern 👍👍

Ormonde must be holding classes in the stable on how to deal with insufferable tourists. Good boy Ormonde.

Your willingness to jump in and insist that she seek help shows your true nature. Thank you John!

I'm from the US and I am so surprised by the lack of respect that tourist have for the kings life guard and their horses.

@john-never apologize for the horses, the signs are up, the dummies still stick their hands all up in there.

Who can blame the horse for biting? Most of the morons annoy the horse and they don't stop.

John, I feel bad when people RESPECT the WARNING SIGNS and still get bitten. HOWEVER, when they stand at the HORSE'S HEAD RIGHT INFRONT OF THE SIGN, I find it difficult for me to have any sympathy for them. You are a more sympathetic person than me. I DO feel bad when a small child being held by the parent gets bitten, but I hold the parent responsible for the pain the child is going through. I feel it Wrong to blame the Guard or the Horse!

The Warning Sign was placed on the wall for a reason. Take it seriously for your own safety. Ignore it & face the consequences of your actions. Accept responsibility. You need to bear in mind that horses are strong & unpredictable. Use caution in their presence… We are very proud of you, John, as the man behind the camera that genuinely care about the well-being of those around you. We appreciate your kindness. Thank you…

Sorry that the young lady was bitten. However, this is a lesson for all who get too close to these beautiful animals. Horses bite, that is a given, stop giving them a target by flapping your hands near their mouths.

I am an Asian but I have the utmost respect for these cavalrymen. They are trained soldiers on trained horses. Such great discipline required in carrying out their duties- both man and animal. To sit on horseback or to stand at attention while all these baboons are milling around them, passing caustic remarks requires a lot of grit. God bless each and every one of them!

You were so kind to help the Canadian tourist. Great Job John.

John, in answer to your question about a horse's mouth strengthen - The jaw strength (masseter muscle) of a horse is about 500 psi (pounds per square inch) Humans are usually less than 200 psi, while a Pit Bull measures 235 psi (#3 dog breed in jaw strength) Because of the great deal of force exerted by an equine in closing its jaws, the severity of injuries may range from mild superficial pressure trauma, cutaneous breaks of the skin, deep lacerations with loss of tissue, and injuries to blood vessels and nerves, to amputations of digits and fractures. If you are bitten and it breaks the skin, clean the site thoroughly with soap and water, before covering with a sterile dressing. If the bite is over a joint, hand, foot, or a prosthetic device, a doctor should be considered immediately because antibiotics are most likely indicated to ward off an infection. You did the right thing in getting her to be checked out by the MOD police! If a horse is pinning his ears at you because you haven't earned his respect and trust. The gentle, yet determined nudge, or shove, of a horse's nose can mean a greeting, denote a desire, or convey an intent. We can attribute human phrases like “Hey, who are you”, “Do you have something for me”, “What's this?” or even the more cheeky “Move along” to the nudging of a horse's nose. hope this information helps a bit - The horse guards are NOT an amusement park or petting zoo - I really thought a child would get hurt this past weekend with the rate of 'child danger' incidents filmed by you and a couple other youtubers - maybe the MOD should take a more active role in advising tourists of certain potential dangers or the guard being able to warn tourists/parents to stay back, not crowd his/her horse when it's not in the best of moods -

Good morning John. Wanted to tell you I was on Pinterest last night and found a wonderful picture of the black horse Invader. It was newspaper article in London. He was one of 2 horses chosen to walk behind the Queens coffin with the royals following. He at that time was 19 years old it said he was the fastest horse in the company and never put a hoof wrong. Love the picture of him with his white eyebrows. I saved the picture.

That was very nice of you to look after her. You are a gentle man and an ambassador for Horse Guards.

I don't understand why ppl put their hands right under horses mouth? Horse may think there is a snack being given. I'm not afraid of horse but would not impose on their space. Sending sunshine to UK from Winter Haven, Fl.❤

All that maple syrup makes us Canadians extra tasty. :) Glad to see she's ok.

Thank you John helping the lady the horse bit your a true gentleman xxxx

Great respect to you John for helping the lady who was bitten by the horse proves what a kind and thoughtful person you are ❤❤❤

The horse was letting everyone know that it wasn't in the mood. Had people taken notice of the body language they would have realised and not got too close.

I had no clue that they would help and even took her in to get treatment. That is above and beyond. Good job everyone even you to be so kind and help out. Its nice that the police know you and you are there to help public in the way you do.

Thank you John for looking after the lady. Horse bites hurt so bad. I will not say any negative as it's nicer showing compassion like you did. Well done John.

Think the reason you have such a great audience is because even through the camera, your genuine concern and respect for the horses, guards, and the people are always shining through. Today is no exception. Why so many of us flock to your channel.

Since when does someone have to apologise for showing kindness?? John., you were a gentleman.

That’s were I’m from ontario canada, John you were so kind to look after the girl and show here where to go for first aid, you are a dear man, thank you ❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧❤️🥰

Plenty going on there today. Couldn't blame the horse for biting, the crowd was enormous, and there was no break for the poor creature. Happily resting now. Thank you John for another great filming: Kiwi

The Chinese girl with the mask on was beyond stupid and obviously wound the horse up in advance. Are we surprised?

Ouch !!😮It's very nice that you helped her, that was a very nice gesture. Poor girl but the sign is there as a warning but hardly anyone takes notice of it.

That was great kindness you showed the Canadian. 😳 I hope no damage was done, that she feels better soon. ❤️

Great admiration to you John. Your concern went a long way toward their staying calm. They will remember your kindness longer than they will remember the bite.

To her credit the young lady didn't try to pull away from the horse when he chomped her. That likely saved her from it breaking skin. She will have a nasty bruise but a heck of a story.

After viewing your numerous videos of tourists standing extremely close to these horses, let-alone stroking, scratching, and patting them; for the life of me, I do not understand why those not connected with The Guards are EVER allowed to do this!! I was raised with horses. Horses are capable of killing one with their teeth and both front and back hooves. Would it ruin the tourist experience to be kept several feet away from horse and mount at all times while still being allowed to take photos and videos? I think not!

That was so kind of you to help her John. ❤

Oh my goodness it’s really busy. Thank you for your videos John.

Awww you were so sweet looking after her and making sure she was alright. Thank you for being so kind. 🇨🇦

Delighted they are keeping away from Wombat and Lincoln, this is perfect for the horses and the guards. Love it! I have no sorrow for people who get bitten at all, they should take notice of the sign and act like grown ups, it's not as if she doesn't read or understand English is it? Not nibbling trying to fully bite his ears are back and he is fed up. Not bitten, nipped serves her right silly woman! Well done horse! Why be upset for her she did have the sign behind after all. Horse are entitled to their own personal space and they get anxious with too many people altogether. Poor Lincoln🥲

I'm glad she's going to be alright, but it was her fault getting too close. I feel sorry for the guards and the horses for having to put up with this on a daily basis.

the warning signs are posted there - the tour guides should also adequately warn folks - there are always those who believe they are a ''horse whisperer' or laugh although they can't read the military horse's 'danger' signs - glad you helped John, but as a owner/trainer of both english and western style for 20+ years in my younger days I honestly can't feel very sorry for those act that way as it could have really been much worse -

Another great video, John. Note to self: 1.) Pay attention to the sign, & how the horse behaves with others. 2.) Never look or even smell delicious to a horse. Well done, for looking after the Canadian horse bite victim.

Absolutely unbelievable crowd. I'd go home, unless I'm on a tight schedule and have no choice, now or never.

I don’t think most people seem to be aware these are military horses not pets. Or bite is underlined for a reason.😢

Everybody before her was letting the horse mouth them and teasing it. Its a good idea not to hand feed horses as they can do this.

Well done John for helping the lady that was bitten ❤

Don’t apologize for the horse the signs are posted. She took to much liberty.

You were so good John looking after the Canadian tourist poor thing must have had an awful fright. Good job. As usual a gentleman.

"Doing horseback riding" does not make her a horse whisperer! If she's really "familiar"with horses, she wouldn't stick her hand under his mouth like that. She was teasing him. He clearly thought she had a treat, hence the bite. (I have a little pony that has bitten me a few times because he thought I had a treat in my hand. I stopped hand feeding him treats and keep my hands away from his mouth. The biting has stopped.)

And thank you, John for coming to the girl's rescue!! No one else seemed to care. I felt so bad for her! She's going to be in a world of pain for several days.

I hope my fellow Canadian is alright. I don't image that arm will be feeling too good tomorrow. I saw the same kindness with Abdullah when a little girl was lost, you are good man John.🥰🇨🇦

I'm glad to see Chivalry isn't dead! Although, don't present the horse with your hand or arm, regardless how funny and cuddly the horse seems. The girl made a bad decision and suffered the consequences.

Good mid-morning John! That was a nasty bite that young lady got, you were so nice to help her!❤❤🇱🇷

That was so kind of you to help the girl who was bitten. The girl handled it really well. Had she jerked her arm out, it could have been worse.

Oh my goodness John, you are such a kind soul for helping the Canadian gal. I didn't know you can approach the police officer if bitten. Thanks.

Feel bad for the young lady but the poor horse had obviously had enough and was clearly distressed at everyone trying to have a laugh wanting pictures of him. 😢 You are such a great guy in your compassion though for both the tourists and guards/troopers and horses which is why your channel is the best to watch. Thank you.

oh dear never ouch poor woman glad she's OK well done John for helping her

My days John what carnage 😱 its a wonder you could breath. No wonder Lincoln wasn't happy people are getting far too close to the horse's everything needs its own space please read the SIGNS!!! then maybe you won't get bitten. Well done John for being so helpful. Thank you John Stay safe ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

Poor tourist. It made my eyes water just watching that. Nasty bite. How thoughtful of you John. to make sure she was OK.. Not the souvenir she was expecting to take home to Ontario.😢

What a kind man you are, it looked painful

John, thank you so much for assisting the young lady with the bite. I am sure your confidant calm helped her and her young friends. Well Done! 🏅

The sign is there that they bite but no one seems to read it. Love listening to your comments. Cheers from Atlanta, Georgia

TY John you are so thoughtful, kind, and caring for others

The horses don’t like things just like we don’t, in the case of the horse that bit my fellow Canadian probably is like me & doesn’t like crowds. I can get a panic attack over being surrounded by that many people. Thanks John for helping her to get looked at & yes she will have quite a bruise from that bite.🇨🇦

I’m so surprised it took so long for him to actually get a full on bite, he was clearly pissed off and folk messing with his face and tormenting allowing him to nibble and nip them 🤷‍♀️ if you are a horse rider it doesn’t make you a equine behaviourist! But it should make you wary about getting too close to a strange horse!

Seriously, Don't feel sorry for people like her!! First of all, there is a warning sign on the wall warning people that horses may kick or bite and second, she chose to ignore that warning sign by invading the horse's personal space!! So ,it was 100% her fault!!

When a horse lets you know that they don't want you that close, and the sign tells you the horses will bite, why the heck do people ignore the warning signs? Stupid and they deserve the consequences of their actions. My horse wasn't a biter, hand-fed treats every day, but if people crowded around him, he would have had a go at them. If she "knows horses", she completely ignored what she knew about horses, or she is less educated than she thinks. Glad you left the incident in, fair warning to all. Horses can exert 500 pounds of pressure on a bite, enough to take off a finger from a person. Could produce a crush injury to the bone. This horse only got skin and soft tissue, so she was lucky.

Us Canadians are tough. Poor girl, loves horses, got bit badly. She'll have a big London bruise to take home.😊

How nice of you to help! Good going John

As usual, gentleman John. I've been bitten many times over the years, it goes with the territory. That said, you're always taken by surprise and that adds to the hurt. Well done. I think the Chinese girl with the mask worked the horse up. The Canadian girl was so well behaved. Qudos to her.

John, you can’t apologize for something you have no control over if the horse is going to do something they’re going to do it and if people are stupid enough to get that close and not expect something to happen well don’t you see animals and they won’t bite you even a person who knows horses well, enough does not go up to them and grab Holden take it vantage of the horse they might not like people in their face😢😢😢😢

Very nice of you John to tend to her. She was shocked. Hope she’ll be ok.

Lincoln had had enough, before the Canadian lady got bit. He was pushing people away beforehand with his nose. So many tourists around so much noise, so much going on. This is not a petting zoo, its a military barracks, and should be respected as a barracks. Problem is the tourists don't know this. More information about Horse Guards their horses, the barracks should be given out. John you did a good thing for her, she'll remember the bite and the fact she got help. Plus yours, Buska and others filming and pictures are helping educate people about Horse Guards. Thank you..

Sorry the girl got bitten and that you and the police assisted her. Hope they enjoy the rest of their trip. The Blues are on it!

Why do people bring their dogs to public places like the Horse Guards?

Thank you John. So happy the bitten girl is ok, he really latched on to her arm.

People don't realize you actually have to bond with a horse, before getting so familiar with it, touching it. It was clear this horse was in no mood to be petted. Was clearly looking for a snack.

Come on!!! There are signs......why do you feel sorry for her????? AND it was just a bruise - blame yourself women!!!

Your new title is Ranger. 👏 Your kindness shows! The bite of a horse does more soft tissue damage particularly when biting over the bone. I have never seen a horse bite break any bones except fingers and toes. (from The Ancient Paramedic grandmother)

I've always wondered has there always been lady troopers and if not, when did it begin? We all know what great horsewomen, HRH Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Royal Anne are and were.

Sometimes I wish my relatives had never left the UK to come to America. I love seeing all this stuff. Thank you for everything you do and know. I like your narrations. I hope that girl will be ok. Very good of you to help her.

You’re a true Gentleman, John. 🇨🇦

Happy Easter John. Watching one of my favourite shows at 10pm in Perth Western Australia❤

Hello from Canada, oh sure it had to be a Canadian 😲😲can’t she read the sign?? It’s her own fault❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧❤️

You are so kind + caring, that was a nice thing to do for the young girl. It’s a fine line between the Guards, Horses + Public. I just wish every Guard was assertive enough to ask people to stand back when there are large crowds…for it’s a certainty an incident is waiting to happen!🐎💂‍♂️💕

As I have said, keep your hands, and arms away from the horses. They do bite morons.

Poor girt, it was really nice that you sought out treatment. Love the way you speak to the tourist's and give us so much information.

Poor horse looks well fed up and the guard looks like he could do with a sugar rush. If you saw a Croc laid on its back, leg's akimbo would you tickle it's tummy. These poor animals are only looking out for themselves. 😢

Enjoying the Easter Horseguards films. Thank you for giving up your Bank holiday to keep us entertained! Also Thank you for aiding the young lady with her lovebite from Lincoln and showing good old UK sympathy. We are good hosts even if our ‘guests’ don’t always follow the rules !!!!!

Hope you had a Happy Easter John and found time to be with your Family as you stated

The horse was obviously unhappy with the crowd of people and so many teasing him to nip...... people look at the body language from the horses.... they always let you know how they feel.

John, thank you so much for your compassion.

Thank you John for helping her out ❤

25:22. Horse wandering down the corridor says. John the C of H is busy, its his cup of ☕ tea time so I'm doing the stable inspection for him. 😂 Need to check the hay nets are just right.😊

It becomes like a competition on who can approach the horse and not get bitten. You can see from the person before you what the temperament is like.

That poor girl! Figures it would happen to a fellow Canadian! Lol. She just calmly walked up to the horse for a picture. He casually reached over to lip at her sweater, then turned it into a bite. I'm surprised that the girl who supposedly rides horses, wasn't more in tune with the gelding. She must have seen him nipping at other people?? Horses will definitely give you signals that tell you what mood they are in. Obviously she failed to listen. As a previous horse woman, I was well aware of what a horse is capable of. When I was a licensed groom, a horse broke my arm. Through no fault of the horse. It was a mistake that I made that I should have known better not to do. I took my attention off what I was doing and a split second later, my arm was broken. Needless to say I never made that mistake again! So that Canadian girl got off easy. But she's going to have a hell of a bruise!! Hopefully she'll take this lesson home and be more cautious around horses.

That poor girl suffered Lincoln's last straw, unfortunately. What a shame and I hope it didn't spoil her and her friends/family's enjoyment of their visit to London. The horse can't be blamed of course, and anybody watching for more than just a couple of minutes could see that he had had enough and just wanted to be left alone. Sadly, the Canadian girl took the brunt of his wrath, but I hope she was alright in the end.

As soon as you said its a pity they haven't brought out Almond on que Lincoln I can imitate Almond.😂😂😂😂

That wasn’t a nasty temper bite, it was more a hold much as the horse was doing to people’s coats. A real bite is extremely painful indeed!

Poor girl, she sure did handle it well. So glad you were there and insisted she let the police have it taken care of. The look of pain was very obvious

She said the horse wanted to bite her arm
