I admire the horse guards. Not only do they have to deal with rude, idiotic people, but those uniforms must be stifling. They do a great job serving their country. 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
They do not serve OUR country they get paid, and she is a nasty piece of work as the lady was simply standing a bit near, not touching or anything like that.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I find myself yelling at the tourist. It is so frustrating to see what the horse's and guards have to put up with. I am hard of hearing, so would someone be kind enough to write what this fantastic guard yelled to this obnoxious tourist. This lady guard is amazing. Takes no prisoners, and keeps her eyes peeled for any potential threat. A job well done. And as soon as the back doors open, I can imagine the guard and horse thinking to themselves, good, let's get away from this insane madness. From Canada to you my lady.
Initially the Guard said: “Make Room for the King’s Guard”, then stated even louder or yelled: “Stand Clear from the King’s Guards”. Hope this helps.😀 💜✌🏼🦋
I’m done watching all this!! Is all stupid! And the poor horses! Animal Cruelty horses should be in open plains running, playing they way God intended these animals to be. NOT stuck in in a hole standing still for hours😢 no wonder they jump an run around get some movement in legs blood flowing An to move not stand still for Hours!
I notice that she is constantly scanning the crowd. Her job is to protect the entrance to the building and be ready to respond to any threat! We as tourists need to understand this and stop treating the honorable soldiers as if they are entertainment!! 🇬🇧
@stacy5445 yes...yes...yes...You are so right, Stacy. I've also noticed that this particular lady always scans the crowd like this. She takes her job very seriously, as she should. And any & all tourists should respect that. This aint the petting zoo or pony summer day camp.
@@SusieAnderson-bd5bqlol I think it’s because this is the only female guard we have seen, it is primarily a man’s profession. I am a female myself but don’t take it personally, although I do understand how you see it.
That’s why she is a Kings Guard, we have people like her to keep this Nation 🇬🇧🇬🇧 Safe. BIG Respect to her, the others on Duty with their Horses. I don’t know what it is with this world, but people in the last 10 years seem to be a lot more disrespectful. Look at old footage or photographs of this beautiful place, and people seem to be a lot more respectful. I think there should be some added wording to the sign on the wall saying keep your distance from the Kings guards at all times . God Bless you ALL in the Forces, Keep Safe, you have MY Respect 🌟🌟👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🤗🤗❤❤
I so wish all the other Kings Troop would follow this lovely lady guards lead, that is how you deal with greater than though tourists, and no sooner has the next horses hooves stopped she was back for yet another photo. Some just need that done too them, yell at them and if they don't follow the lead charge your horse their way they will move then. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖💖💖
A military horse, carrying a uniformed soldier, who is carrying an unsheathed razor sharp sword and even a sign to warn people. You wonder why would anyone think to act in anyway except with utmost respect?
This soldier is a member of The Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery. The Troop at times stand in for the members of the Horse Guards. I know this, as I was a member of The King's Troop from September 1985 until July 1987.
There is a marked barrier. Look down on the ground & you’ll see the cement lines and bricks, which is there to tell tourists this is the mounted KG’s space. Tho the tourists can see it, they choose to ignore the barriers, just like the double white lines inside the gates, going under the arches or even walking thru the mounted KG’s space vs going thru the gate & more. They can’t put up physical barriers as that could be deadly for the King’s Guards & esp to the King’s Horses. Definitely can tell who prepped themselves for a trip to London/UK. Tho believe most tourists leave their 🧠 back home when on a vacation or just a family day trip.😉😂😂 💜✌🏼🦋
Aye, some tourists just love to push the boundaries w/these excellent King’s Guards and their beautiful horses who are working, Not out there waiting to be petted or have their pictures taken. Well done, King’s Guardswoman! 👏🏻 💜✌🏼🦋
The look on that womens face when she gets shouted at is priceless, well done to the soldier for shouting at her getting into the horses personal space.
Oh, she hollared at her because they were getting ready to change out the guards. Everyone is supposed to be behind the barriers at that time, and she wasn't getting out of the way. Good job, Lady Guard! And thank you to the commenter who told us what she'd said to that woman tourist. Sometimes I don't quite hear what they say. I love these videos!
I’m thinking do we all have the same ideas about tourists should stand away from the horses! Think it’s about time they perhaps put lines on the ground around the horses so the public and tourists can’t go beyond that mark, these poor lads and lasses must get fed up with it!
I agree. Maybe a red box on the pavement. Any tourist no matter where they are from should understand that. Maybe paint some footprints a safe distance away so they know where they can stand.
How long is it going to take for the commanding officer to do something. Talk about a passive aggressive approach to a real problem. Do they not read the comments asking for relief from tourists touching ALL DAY long.?
There is a barrier marking on the ground if you look closely. It’s made of bricks and wide cement ‘lines’ around the bricks that originate from inside the mounted guard building. But most tourists ignore the laid out barriers, besides walk under the mounted guards arches to get close to a horse that has withdrawn back. Or if the areas are empty & doors open, some tourists walk thru these areas into and out of the inner Whitehall area. Just like tourists can’t see the double white lines or the brick paths the new KGs & KHs walk down to relieve the current mounted guards on duty.
@@sandradavis18 I honestly can’t imagine that the CO sits around on YT all day tbh! That said though I have been trying to contact the right person to speak to on this subject.
There should pitchers on how to read the horses. Ears back=No touch, same with head tossing, pushing you with their head , and foot stomping. It’s also a no brainer what a shout means.
I agree with an earlier comment that they should be treated as working animals like a seeing eye dog and shouldn’t be touched. Respect the soldier as well. They are on duty.
My cousin was one of the Queens guards ( this was when the queen was still alive ) and for 6 months of the year his/there duty was to sit on there horse in full Dress Uniform so the public could get photos taken next to the horse and mounted guard and unless they were causing trouble or upsetting the horse the public can pat /stroke it my cousin used to tell us that 99% of the guards couldn’t wait to get back to being a soldier who travels around the world where ever they are 1:15 needed in war zones doing what they signed up for. If a guard was out in full uniform that day they had to make sure any Brass or other metals is polished and polished so they could see there faces in them the same with the the guards boots and leather on the saddle which can take hours to get it highly polished. The same with the sword it’s another polish till they can see there face all this cleaning is really hard work and can take hours to do. If something happened the guards horses are not there to stop trouble they are taken back inside the grounds if a protest is going past them so they don’t get scared. The Sword is also just for show it’s part of the dress uniform and also a link to how it was the everyday uniform back in history and they could use the sword in there days. Now when you are watching these videos you will notice it’s the armed police officers who are there to protect the Public and the mounted guards I would think also the soldiers in there normal uniform the khaki ones would come out from behind the Scenes with there rifles if the police needed help. I’m glad they have added Do Not Touch The Reins to the two notices as now people will know not to touch them and there is no excuse now saying they didn’t know and most foreign visitors are on a walk about tour and there guide should be telling them not touch the reins But the people who video the guards continuously would be upset if people stopped touching the reins as that’s the main selling point for people to look at there really long videos with maybe 1 or 2 minutes of a guard shouting don’t touch the reins etc I often wonder if they get some sort of payment for people watching their long videos when really they just need to last no more than 5 mins. They can’t stand all day filming for nothing. Some people do have special needs and might need things explaining a couple of times to them. And not being followed around by people who are making these videos and them then going to the police to tell them what they think has been going on and saying they have it recorded if they need to see it I know the videos are very popular but hats off to them. I would be Bored Standing all day every day The Guards must get sick of looking down the same lens everyday. But if you find the videos really entertaining have a great time watching them. There is some really good ones
She doesn't need to know just get out of the way! Whys some people think they do not have to do as the police and guards say is beyond me. Perhaps she would rather be trampled on. Idiot!
She did nothing wrong , she didnt know the bells were a signal for a guard change, that's why she was shouted at....and that's why the new guard didn't shout at her!
@@philipowen3370 Nice of you coming up for this woman, maybe it would be nice coming up for the guards and horses, they are confronted day in and day out by all the tourists, so it’s like they’re in a amusement park instead of being on duty. For me the discussion is closed so I wish you well 🍀
@@wilmavantrier2998 they're also a tourist attraction, armed police are the security if your going to allow the public to interact and pat the horses then you will always have these problems. End of! And I don't need you to patronise me wishing me well.
Thank you again for this video! I just don’t understand these tourists! Why do they gather in those masses(I refer to more than four people.) This is not an amusement park! Get your photos taken and move-on! There must be other sites to visit!
ONE OF THESE DAYS THE KING WILL FINALLY SAY!! NO MORE TOURISTS ALLOWED AROUNG HIS ROYAL PALACE GUARDS!! THE PUBLIC IS SO RIDICULOUS!! TOTAL RESPECT & ADMIRATION IS WHAT THEY DHOULD BE SHOWN!! CHEERS & PRIDE TO THE ROYAL PALACE GUARDS & SOLDIERS,ALSO THE POLICE !!🥰😅👋🙏💘🇺🇸🇺🇸
Boy, the Asian tourists are ballsier than the rest. They get right in the box with the horse and guard. Too close and very disrespectful. Smh. Also, I wish I knew what the different uniforms and hats mean. And this horse is a bit different in coloring, most that I've seen have been black.
Guards and horses are on duty doing their job. Not there for your entertainment. People like to take a photo that’s cool. No need to touch the horse. A sign is posted. These guards put up with a lot❤❤
For ppl who didn't understand why she yelled, you didn't watch the whole video? It was time to change the guards, they aren't supposed to be so close when they do this. I've been watching these more than I should I guess lol ❤ much respect!
It should be posted that when the doors are open that tourists must be away from the horse. That lady was doing nothing different than the others. The mistake she did make, was causing the guard to tell her twice.
Irish draughts. Googling Kings Troops has lots of great information about how the horses are trained, what they do for leisure, to what age they work till and what happens when they retire.
They’re Irish Draught or IDx’s, they’re mainly sourced from Southern Ireland as are The Household Cavalry horses, but luckily they’re looking for different types otherwise there may not be enough to go round! 🙂 Whereas the H/CAV require the biggest, strongest and blackest the Kings Troop RHA are looking for athleticism, strength and speed because they generally perform the musical drive in an arena so the horses need to be pretty nippy in manoeuvring the guns at such speeds, the gun carriages need six horses to pull them, generally two 16.hh as ‘leaders’ at the front of the team, two ‘middle’ horses of around 15.3hh and two ‘wheelers’ of around 15.2hh . Also the Kings Troop are not quite as fussy about colours, they’ll take light bays through to black. As the Kings Troop will be pulling the gun carriages their training is more involved than the Cavalry Horses as they have to learn to be driven as well as ridden, I can’t honestly remember but I seem to recall that because of this and the weight of the guns and gun carriages the horses are a little more mature than the Cavalry steeds!
@@calador1918 or Éire if you want to get pedantic about it! I put ‘Southern’ not because I don’t know any better but because a lot of tourists don’t know the difference. (Signed…..Previous fully paid up member of ‘The Irish Club’ sadly no more!
Le cheval de droite a subit une blessure à sa fesse gauche ? Cela apparaît par une bosse osseuse ? Celui où le militaire s’occupe de ses courroies ! ❤ un coeur pour ce beau monde !! Monique 🇫🇷 .
What those pooed horses and guards have to go through is disgusting. I would freak out of someone touched the horse I'm sitting on. You don't know what they've got in their hands and could hurt th easily. Well done to all our military and the animals that have to put up with us.
Sou apaixonada por estes vídeos,deixo aqui minha gratidão a quem posta e meu profundo respeito e admiração por estes bravos guerreiros que suportam a frescura e o desrespeito destes turistas,nao todos e claro,guanto aos cavalos aja treinamentos pra tanto incômodo!!!
Makes me mad that we allow our traditions and guards doing their job to be turned into a circus of gawping no-brains and their cameras. Mark out a don't cross area, for goodness sake, it ain't a silly gimmick people!
This becoming a hard thing for the horse and the guard can someone not make it better the horses get so restless and the having a hard time staying in that box
I was watching a programme about these Guards, and they tend to use a few certain women guards to calm upset horses.. They can calm an upset horse far quicker than a man.
