IGNORANCE OR DISRESPECTFUL - Tourist Grabs Wrong Royal Guard Boots | Royal Guard, Kings Guard, 

The level of ignorance and stupidity from the tourists is staggering!

I ve said it before and I’ll say it again… no protest or demonstrations should be allowed in front of the horse guards.

Mark me down as against any protest group that spook the horses.

This is NOT DisneyWorld

I can imagine. The horses get annoyed too. Being gawked at, touched and their reins pulled on all day. There is only so much an animal can take. Animals are no different than humans. Respect how the troopers stepped in. To assist the guardman. Guardman did phenomenal job. Trying to control the horse. Well done!♥️💂🇬🇧

Tourists who come 2 London these days R so bloody rude!!! Why can’t they leave the King’s Guards alone???

The disrespect for our Country, Soldiers and Horses is dispicable.

Amazes me how well they can handle that size of horse with one hand! I'm a pretty decent rider but I'd have trouble with one hand. Then again I'm not a soldier either so much respect to all horse guards!

It really boggles my mind how extremely rude people are. If you are a tourist, you should educate yourself before heading to the destination, shouldn't you?! That's at least what I do. But what's really horrible - how absolutely peabrain-y those people seem like. They just go up to these poor horses and guards, who are being harassed and touched by those childish, incredibly immature people. I mean, if you are INcapable of keeping your bloody hands to yourself, well then ASK AT LEAST?! Some guards do answer if you are respectfully keeping distance and asking. SURPRISE, they're human too! But usually it's NO TOUCHING of the horse - period!!! THEY'RE WORKING and not there for y'alls entertainment!!! Would you want tourists disrespect your country's cherished people and places?! Gosh.... I hope you guards know how much appreciated you are! Please give your best friends a good scratch for me ♥️ Hope I can visit one day, because I would LOVE to just tell y'all how much I appreciate you and the horses! (for the immature tourists: with respectful distance, believe it or not!) Much love from Croatia!

The horse is having a bad day. It's giving experienced handlers/soldiers a hard time. It's dangerous. Give that horse/soldier the day off & bring out another pair. The tourists are stupid when the horse is having a good day. That horse has no patience for that today.

I can't believe what I see, so much disrespect from the people I never expected it on this level...I feel bad for these poor horses at all!

Why do they have to touch the horse? People should not be allowed near the horse. He is working. I give it up to horses and handlers that have to do this day after day.

Full respect for the soldiers for their service. The soldier is on duty and touching him or the horse is reprehensible. You can take a photo from a distance without touching the soldier or holding the horse's bridle. Moreover, horses belong to the King and touching or stroking them is disrespectful to the monarch.

Poor horse he scared with all dreadfull noise ¡¡¡¡

The demonstrators get the horses upset. They shouldn’t let them walk down that street.

There is a lot of stupid tourist, why insisting on grabbing the reins or the horse?

They stand around gawking and laughing at a spooked horse...yes, acting like a bunch of half-crazed hyenas. They should not be allowed anywhere near the Horse Guards. They are much more a threat than ANY OTHER SINGLE FACTOR.

It amazes me people show little regard to His Royal Highness and His Royal Guards. 😮 I love it when the guard yells, "Back Up!" Talk about shock! 😅

Why do you run up on a seated horse you don't know? When horse shys you away why keep approaching ??

Maybe I’m a bad person, but am waiting for the day when I see the headlines “Massive Guards horse tramples several tourists….. Physician reports “ they were just morons anyway”

These tourists must think a horse can’t kill them.

People shouldn't touch the horses at all especially around the nose as the guards don't know what they have handled before hand.

The Guards are highly trained soldiers, and have a tough job to do. The tourists should respect, and appreciate them instead of acting as total jerks!

I don’t know why they allow ‘visitors’ so close. Must be very uncomfortable. Parents are teaching their kids it is ok to walk right up to a horse and start touching it. Most of the time the horses are not even biting.

What a Beautiful Animal❣️ 🇺🇲❤️🇬🇧

Did That Kid Think He Was Cute? Thumbing His Nose. It Wasn't. At All. I. M. H. O.These People Have No Respect At All.

The horse's and guards all know one another

I'm from Russia. Long live the Royal guards! I wasn't in military service. ☦

I could only watch half of this video. The King’s Guards and their horses were magnificent, but the tourists made me ill.

Stop the protesters from coming on this street

Ridiculous protests!

How dare those people. This young man and his horse doing an important job have some respect people!!!!

These horses look pretty stoic to me. They are often in situations with ignorant visitors. My husband grew up with horses and had helped me moderate my behavior around them. One year my husband and I took a horse ride in Montana USA . Really controlled we were walking along the bank of a river. Very slow. In front of me was a teenage boy from Texas who had a lot of experience with horses. We were walking along and suddenly the horse in front reared up, made a big noise, reared up and the young man in front of me jumped off the horses back and out of the way. I admit to a certain amount of fear before that happened. I had no idea that I could leap off a horse and avoid falling into the river. Soon a horse on the other side of the river started making a bunch of utterances. The horse in front of me returned that horse’s utterances. The guides wisely started walking up and forth on our side of the river. When he got to us he said that the Cowboys’ horse and the horse across the river always wanted to be together. Fortunately the guide and my horse and the young man from Texas were able to all of us together and restart the ride for that day.

The horses are normally fine until they get abused by the tourists

Obviously the horse has a problem. It is so painful to see him forced back into the box over and over again. Give him a break. 😢

It amazes me that the mentallity of some of the tourist is very childish. I cannot understand what they think they look like with the silly poses for photographs. Sometimes im amazed at the guardsmen straight faces because i would be in hysterics They look very young those soldiers god bless them ❤

I get the protocols, but this really feels unfair to the horse :(

The horse looks like he wants to run a little. He doesnt want to stand still today.

I’ve noticed that several of the horses are working their mouths a lot like their bits are bothering them. Any thoughts on that?

Why would you touch someones boot 👢?????

OMG...watching this stateside. Given that it appears many ppl in 'general' seem to be ignorant of cusoms and traditions, they should ban touching, coming close to the horses period!

He just doesn't want to be there, he's stressed out.

😢 I am in the US and can honestly say, I feel terrible for the guards and "especially" their beautiful horses. It makes me angry when they try to play their stupid games. God help them should the horse bite one of those people, or worse "really Really" injure a baby or adult, and do some serious damage. I pray for the guards and horses 😢.

They should make distance line for public towards Royal Guard !!! I watching this and always public disrespect the Guard that not good !!!

I wouldn’t care a thing about visiting London, it’s TOO noisy!!! I don’t blame those horses for rebelling!!

A lot of these horses don't seem happy with their bits I I see many of them trying to get their tongue over it, trying to get more comfortable this can become a bad habit that's hard to break if the horse does get its tongue over the bit it's very painful making using the reins very difficult

ENOUGH!!! Stop alowing the people to touch the horses!!! It's just that simple!!!

That horse is clearly very distressed and frothy at the mouth.....clearly doesn't want metal in his mouth

This is why I am a hermit.

Why didn’t they take the house off duty . He was very unhappy.

The guard sure gets a workout restraining the horse, constantly!

This horse is determined to not serve his one full hour in the box when he can hear protesters.

There's something wrong with her mouth. My God give her a break!!!!!

All the restless horses are in the same box 😮

This horse just isn't having it today, totally spooked😢

How hard is it to read the sign and have a little common sense sheesh!

El caballo no quiero estar ahi noooo.estoy stresado

You can see that the horse is not happy .

A beautiful video, thank you 💛💛

Horses get anxious, and it saddens me that they are kept standing for hours and on top of that they also have to put up with irritable and disrespectful people. It's horrible! That's why the horse acts in such a protective way. Don't touch and they touch it. And there is also a sign with information and people don't pay attention.

Я бы запретила туристами подходить ближе чем на 100 метров

How would these people feel if someone tried to touch them 15,000 times a day! So annoying

It's distressing to see the horse so distressed. Can't they take him in & change horses? Would seem much better for soldier & horse. Esp since he isn't calming.

Poor horse he needs a break He's tired please don't break his spirit. I love horses They are so majestically beautiful

I love a no nonsense quard tell people to stay back and don't touch. And disrespect wont be Tolerated!

How do those horses still have one hair left is beyond me.

Nobody likes noises especially animals !

The horses seem to be more annoyed by the visitors. I would be.

they brought her back out twice? Why? 🐎🐴 11:28 This lady is a bit off. Hope she’s on her meds. 15:06 Another guy being quite weird. Poor horse! (why do they allow someone like that?)

That horse should have taken off-guard immediately. If an animal is uncomfortable or aggitated it shows. Just plain commen sense

If i ever had yhechance to visit,i would not be a dumb tourist or ignorant and privileged, ❤

As someone who loves horses, and has respect for the military services, even here in America we have rude people, and their brains are in their backside. And it's the same for the tourists in London.

Let the Kings vet checked to see what's wrong with the horse

Ya know....TRAINED or NOT I'm sure even horses have their breaking point, melt downs, can freak out....NEVER UNDERESTIMATE an animal....ANY ANIMAL!!!!

It’s NOT normal for a horse to salivate!

Solidarietà a cavallo e cavaliere. È dura dover sopportare la mancanza di rispetto . Ammirazione profonda.

This poor horse is really uncomfortable. Likely the bit.

Gosh, the horse nearly head butt the guy in camouflage uniform 😮! The poor creature's are spooked by the protesters over yonder! 🧐😢

They should put some rubber mats down in the box for the horses to stand on!

The band with bagpipes would cause any horse to meltdown

That one horse needs water! Foaming ,

I don't understand the tourists... everyone can see that the horse is scared and yet everyone stands stupidly in the way.

They shouldn’t allow the TOURISTS to even touch those horses, their mouth for we never know, what they have in their hands so not visible that they might be feeding them & makes the horses go nuts like they’re high!

I wouldn’t have said a word I would let my 1200 pound horse do the talking. What’s with the peace signs🤪

That poor horse. Obviously something is wrong with the thing in its mouth. Wow! That’s hard to watch! Poor thing!

I've never been in UK always respect guard never touch the horse.

That poor horse. So cruel. It shouldn't be a bloody circus.

Je comprend l'agacement du cheval avec tous ces gens 😅😅et son immobilité forcé 😢😢

I am sitting here looking at my two index fingers. Why is that , you ask? Because my right one is 1/4 " shorter than the other. Why is that? When I was a young girl, I grabbed my horse's bit & it made her angry & she bit the tip of my finger off. Funny thing is, she looked identical to the royal guard horses. Same colour, markings & size. So yes it can happen, even with your own beloved horse. Grab the bit & you will get bit yourself. You may even end up, with one finger shorter, than the others .

Beautiful rituals, wonderful traditions. But for some reason people don’t understand that animals have a hard time and they are nervous and should not be disturbed.

Wow! The Guard and the police did well! And the soldier who has to handle the horse with one hand and hundreds of people staring like a circus act! It makes my blood boil and I'm not even British!

El caballo está estresado!!! Esas personas lo estresan y aún así no ven el peligro

Les gens sont d’une telle débilité ! Accepteraient ils que quelqu’un les attrape par le cou ou les touche sans qu’ils en aient accordé la permission ??? Les touristes ne devraient pas être autorisés à venir si près des gardes et des chevaux. Ils se comportent comme des abrutis là où ils devraient montrer de l’admiration et du respect pour le travail des gardes et des chevaux

The guards face is a picture when the guy shouting Jesus is coming wtf really give me a good laugh the way guard looked down at him would love to know what he was thinking, hat's off to this gentleman didn't even crack a smile sorry I would be falling off the horse in stitches well done young man

El caballo puede estar estresado con tanta gente y tantas fotos. Ponganse en su lugar. Que pesados.!!!😦😦😦

What would these people say or do if some people came to harass them in their workplace?! Give respect to the guards!

We seem to have everyone elses mental cases now.

Horses should be discontinued...because of the ignorance of visitors someone is going to get seriously hurt

Its clear that they hate that peece of steal in their mouth.That is a nightmare for horses,oohh good lord

Besides the tourists I must say the horses never seem content standing there with a dude on their back but mostly they always seem uncomfortable with the reigns in its mouth.
