King’s Guard About To Faint On Horse And Needs Help 

I bet that a lot of the guys have had it happen to them. They are a brotherhood. They stand by one another.

Especially with this hot weather that we’ve been having over the last few weeks

He was an officer higher rank his boss.

Actually it would have been better to lay him down immediately to improve blood supply to the head.

@@johnbobson1557 You don’t say.

@@nicolad8822 I do Nicola, basic First Aid. Would have assumed a Serviceman would know this. Vasovagal syncope. Tenderfoot Boy Scout stuff: 'You may not always be able to avoid a vasovagal syncope episode. If you feel like you might faint, lie down and lift your legs. This allows gravity to keep blood flowing to your brain. If you can't lie down, sit down and put your head between your knees until you feel better.'

@@johnbobson1557they are not allowed to dismount. Also, getting off a horse while keeping that horse, the fainted soldiers horse and lifting a 200lb dead weight man off a horse would have been infinitely more dangerous and bloody stupid. He stopped him from falling off his horse and kept two horses steady… but there always have to be critics.. I would have, they should have.. well, you’re not a bloody King’s Guard are you. So shush.

That has to be the most ridiculous statement ever made. To be more concerned about pomp and circumstance over a man's well being can only be described as maleficence. Why did it take so long to see to this man's well being. He could have easily been helped down from his horse and supported as he was walked off the field to a caregiver. Another horse rider could have taken the empty horses reigns and held the horse in place or walked it off the parade field. What if he and fallen while they were pretending nothing was wrong and cracked his head. Maybe it is time to reconsider all the needless money spent on purchasing, feeding, stabling these show horses not to even speak about the Vet. bills. Why should the British Taxpayers shoulder the financial burden so Charles can maintain useless and expensive pomp and circumstance. It is outright fabrication to say these are the men who guard the Royal Family. That duty belongs to "Scotland Yard" The royalty and diplomatic protection group is an elite Scotland Yard squad charged with providing 24-hour security for the royal family and London's diplomatic community. Formed in 1983

@@jackccrofootjr7228 Pomp and circumstance helps pay for your health care etc. brings in much more than it costs. Also keeps lots of small businesses going.

It's stupid to have this In such hot weather!!!!!

@@carolzippel5021 I am not calling for an end to the Monarchy. I would hope Charles continues to par down the number who are are on the public dole like the arrogant Andrew and his wife who was doing a Hunter Biden and got caught attempting to sell political access and like Hunter paid no price for her actions. And the Brits continue to pay for their extravagant lifestyles, while Britain is facing one of the worst economic downturns in years.

@@jackccrofootjr7228 Soldiers both male and female would prefer to 'man it up' rather than loose face unless the definitely have to. What I like is that those in a rank above him help him out.

I'm Barnett Horses are so intuitive and sensitive. I wish they would move Trooping the Colour to a cooler month for their's and the guards' sake.

@@tessdurberville711 I agree. It would be kinder to everyone including the horses. They know someone is going to fall out and I think it's foolish to put these men through this in hot weather. Makes sense to change to cooler temps.

@@pksmith1275 Perhaps Queen Camilla could make the suggestion.

​@@tessdurberville711🤣🤣🤣🤣 That "woman" wouldn't dream of it, given how much press it gets, and tourism it brings in.

@@ladyjustice1474 To her husband, the KING.

Omg, he needs help asap

Hungover on a horse’s back?

😂😂😂are you a doctor

​@@martincopeland8153 What a horrible thing to say , you don't know what was wrong with him shame on you.

@@chrishughes4961 neither do you.

@@martincopeland8153 No I don't, but you just to assume he has hungover when it could be any number of reasons for the poor man to feel ill is not fair.

I did in Australia recently. It turned out I was dehydrated.

@thelisterner9196, I agree especially with the weather and having to stand/sit/march around for hours. I hope there’s a medical team around and they need to be looking around for signs of distress

It was handled, that’s why the senior officer was beside him. We didn’t see the start of the poor guard’s faintness/illness but I’ve seen something like this before and as soon as it’s noticed by or brought to the attention of a senior officer they go directly to the sick guard to assess the situation. When the camera zoomed in initially there were 2 senior officers by the guard.

@@shirleyanneyoung955 we saw that thanks

@@charlottecunningham2141 Bless your heart sweetie, thanks for letting me know. It does make me wonder about your original comment however. If you saw the ill guard getting help then your comment seems a little bit ummmm as if you thought he wasn’t getting the help he needed as you were agreeing with op.

They're used to it and can easily bear the weight. They're also very well looked after.

​@@karldelavigne8134 Jimmy Saville and rolf Harris used those terms too, animals and children will do as they're groomed to.😢

@@aineuaine1791 Grow up.

Marianne,I could not agree with you more, this is 2023,it is time to stop exploiting horses !

Karl, the horses are denied everything that is natural to them. This is 2023,it is time to stop exploiting horses !

Probably dehydrated. And maybe should have kept off the Guinness the previous night.

@@karldelavigne8134 Tous les soldats ne sont pas forcément des soulards !!!!! 🍺

​@@karldelavigne8134 What a nasty comment to make, you have no idea what the problem was and to just assume he was still drunk from the night before shame on you .

@@solveiglandvikbrg9103 The only suggestion of drunkenness is from you. I mentioned beer drinking because it acts as a diuretic, especially in hot weather, and can lead to dehydration. The soldier may have been feeling faint as a result.

@@chrishughes4961 You're accusing me of being nasty without understanding my comment. It's better to avoid knee-jerk sanctimoniousness.

Diane ,quite right,I feel very sorry for the horses, this is 2023,it is time to stop exploiting horses !

@@jjradV glad you agree

I hate it too, but at least they are well looked after, when the parades are over.

Slow help

terrible thing to say, not everybody gets drunk, I would think the heat got to him.

This is so not true. I have watched many videos and they are all well cared for-man, woman, and horse. Momentary dizziness can affect any one. It has nothing to do with lack of care.

It's happened to me but luckily not on a horse but crossing a road u meant to drink 3 litres of Water away hopefully person on horse is ok
