No One Expected This! 🌹 

E esses soldados as vezes são bem estúpidos 😢

Well yeah they're both Tourist attractions. Unless you really think circa 2023 that a guy in full dress uniform, with a sword on a horse is really on guard duty? You might notice the Police and soldiers with the assault rifles close by. They're the real guards.

​@patriciamenackermanola180 But you wouldn't dare say that to one of them when they are off duty. They are fully trained combat soldiers who rotate to gaurding, and when not doing so perform the same duties as any other front line soldiers. In other words they are trained killers.

@nigelheath7048 The lads in the HMCR are real soldiers but they'd understand this role is ceremonial.

Son soldados, no atracciones turísticas, son la guardia real!

Còmo lo sabes?tù trabajas allì tambièn.No seas envidioso.😂😂😂😂😂

If he works there, that makes it WORSE!!! How many tourists then feel it is OK to get close and pet the horse. The staged pose could have been done out of public view.

I thought he would of went mad

Kissing his horse

Ponham o que.os guardas.fecla .em.portiguês

Ni loca me tiro fotos con esos soldados, prefiero respetar, y listo

Then he took a victory lap in front of the tourists😅. Did ya see that, did ya, did ya? 😂

I've fallen off like that, one horse and I didn't get on, when I was learning to ride, he'd puff his belly out when I was doing his girth strap up, then add soon as we started the class, he'd pull his girth in and I'd fall off just like that. He did enjoy his lap of honour "look at me, you will not control this perfect beast!"

O azúcar! Les encanta!

Le cheval ne veut juste pas marcher sur un obstacle pour ne pas risquer de se casser une patte. C'est simplement un reflex de survie, pas un geste d'amour pour son cavalier.

Just a man and a horse … he could have been more respectful

Isn’t THAT right??!!!

I've noticed that for a long time!! Now we know not to invade someone 's space 🤷

"Ever living"???????

Nah, the only difference is that now we have social media and actually see it, it was still there before but lesser people saw it

Not really

His mates will never let him forget it! 😊

@@Vicki1930 nope.

Didn't tighten the girth strap.

That. Is. Correct.

Did his mates loosen the saddle cinch to prank him?

They didnt tie the girth up to tight, which made the guard fall off

maybe horsy didn't like him

😅😅😅

😂😂

What service?

💯 respect for them ❤

​@@top-notch8277they're soldiers. This is a side gig

Touristes débiles

​@@top-notch8277 The reason they are guards is because they have fought in wars and fought for the country. Its an honour to become a Kings guard because its not many people get to do it, you have to have done a lot for the country or saved many lives

Yess! Way too much!😮

The Trauma is unnecessary😢

The guards have more..horses know when they're agitated

@@annychest718 the military are an absolute godsend to our country - no arguements!

Si actitud de cansancio.

Horses are prey animals. If the hooves are injured, they can't run away.

How about trying it NEVER?? 🤔

But do the have to yell so ugly!?!?

Q humillacion el q se cayo😅😅😢😢😮

El caballo ya se cansó de sus gritos de locos 😂

Non the less I think the horse liked her. Otherwise it would have bitten her.

​@@sunfire369 that's not true.

Then please think carefully about why a horse does this and whether it is still necessary to ride them.

In Europe, we use modern girths with strong double rubber at the buckle. This means that the girth works very easily when the horse breathes and does not cause such discomfort, so the horses do not have to defend themselves by taking air into their belly. I have been using it for 30 years and the saddle with such a girth has never moved.

Very sneaky? Horse doesnt want pain

😂😂😂😂Such a stupid guardian

I believe someone will seriously hurt one of the horses.

the guards not the public

Agreed..my sentiment too

I very much doubt it! He wouldn't have that beard, for starters!

​@@deborahwylde1410he could be a vetinarian or riding master

@@paulgraham3012 "Riding masters" are soldiers too, and a serving soldier in a Guards Regiment would never have a beard or haircut like that!

@@deborahwylde1410 one of the regiment is a rastafarian ,with dreadlocks and a beard. Due to human rights law the army can no longer stop someone having a beard. Nor can they stop dreadlocks on religious grounds. Things have dramatically,if you served in the HC or one of the component regiments it was amalgamated from. Very different. Look up the subject on line. Amazing what you see.

@@paulgraham3012 yes, I have looked it up, thank you. I accept that I was wrong in what I said and appreciate you enlightening me. A lot of things have changed in many ways and I'm happy for those young men.

So true. When I use to ride , some of the other pony's at the riding stables use to inflate their tummy's like that. You always had to give them a gentle knee in their abdo to make them expel all the air. No one wants toddlers or little kiddies having lessons to come off.

Yes that's what I was thinking, especially with all that weight on board.. checking the girth before mounting and after essential, but when there's an audience as well 😳

It’s a ‘girth’ no strap

@@j.ksmith7432 Huh. Must be a regional thing. Here in Midwest USA we say girth strap. My daughter competed in Three Day Eventing, usually at the Kentucky Horse Park, so I’ll continue to say girth strap, as it is a strap to fit the particular girth of the horse’s abdomen. I’m surprised anyone would feel the need to correct. Oh well. Correction noted. 😆 🌷

@@jenniferszendi9519 it’s not the intention to ‘correct’ in everyday life as such, obviously you have what you have, a woman who rented my yard rode western and referred to a ‘cinch’ but since we were on a post re the HCMR in the U.K. it’s a girth. Take notice, don’t take notice, up to you.

It's extremely hard on the horses legs and back.

Qué dices?????

​@@annaconway7009Qué dices???

Ich gebe Ihnen recht Tradition hin oder her. Wenn ich irgendwann nach London komme werde ich niemals dort hingehen ein Theater auf kosten der Pferde. Ich weiß das königliche Hofleben ist für einen Engländer sehr wichtig aber man muss sich weiter entwickeln und manchmal alte Pfade verlassen. Es sind Menschen und Tiere mit Gefühl und sollte es nicht jedem gut gehen, leider fehlt hier mit meinen Augen der Respekt für beide Lebewesen.

Their shift at horse guards is one hour.

I heard the horses only stand there for one hour.

@@kerriemccoy1647 Yes, it's only an hour. Then a bell rings and they switch off with different horses and guards.

Horses love it when you just leave them alone. They probably are enjoying just hanging out with nothing being asked of them for a bit.

Maybe the horse knows him maybe he used to be a guard

Agreed ..... and it was the fault of the rider for not ensuring it was tightened! I hope he was put on a charge for making a fool of himself and his troop.

@@deborahwylde1410Why do you assume that the horse guards are the ones saddling and tacking up the horses?? That is the job of the GROOM.

@@SalyLuz-hc6he Don't talk rubbish! There are no grooms in the Household Cavalry!

I agree...this is NOT Disneyland... READ THE SIGNS...YOU DO NOT EVER GRAB THE REINS

It's NOT a petting zoo, the horses and guards are working. They are Molitary, what part of that is so hard to understand. I would'nt want strangers spreading their dirty disease on to my beloved animal. Who KNOWS what they have carried in from abroad, malaria, rabies and other nasties like dysentery and cholera from African and Asian countries. Hardly known for cleanliness over there. Saw a video the other night about them bringing diseases here that have killed people and animals. They NEVER wash their hands when using the public toilets. Filthy they are. Poor horses having those dirty, smelly hands all over their lovely faces. Leave them alone. Take a photo and move on, absolutely no need to touch it. Would these idiots pet a Great White Shsrk, Killer Whale, poisonous snakes, spiders, scorpions, gators or crocodiles to get on dumb tick tock or other dumb platforms? Stupid is as stupid does. UK saying from many years ago. Means stupid people do stupid things.

Pues siiii ,también ellos necesitan un beso 😘 😊😊

I suspect this guy is someone who helps take care of the horses. Neither the horse or the guard would allow this otherwise.

​@@user-tl1od1fb7cI seen another comment that said he was off duty so they did know him.

yes..smilar to dogs.. horses are ultra sensitive like elephant..he appreciate kindness and love

😂yo también ya estoy que si no lo escucho ante de dormir no puedo conciliar el sueño!😅😅😅

Me too 😂

Me to 😂😂😂

​@@user-rj9xr4tp7q LoL 😂😆😅🤣

😂 wondered if it was the same bloke!

After dumping the soldier off his back the horse trots around like “Did you see that?! I just dumped him off! Yes I did!!”

Oh horses are Excellent at stress! Some more than others, and some breeds more than other breeds. But horses (as a prey species, as well as other livestock) can indeed be easy to startle, hypersensitive, moody and easily stressed animals. 💙🐎

They don’t tack-up their own horses.

​@@j.ksmith7432 I agree. It is usually the soldiers who are dressed in fatigues.

@@j.ksmith7432 It's still the rider's responsibility to ensure that his girth is tight!

That wasn't a demo or practice! That happened during the change of Guard Duty. It could have been a lot worse if the horse had got amongst the spectators.

@@deborahwylde1410 ordinarily I’d agree but in this case, between being encumbered by the sword, gripping anything with those gauntlets is hard, not to mention can leave the white behind. I’m actually starting to wonder what the inspection is for these days, it used to be exactly that but in these videos if they get a glance they’re lucky, I’ve seen a few things over the last year or so that would have my late father revolving in his urn!! 😱

I do not think so. He is being sarcastic.

I had a neighbor and friend that wanted to race his quarter horse against my appaloosa and didn't tighten the conch and waiting for the horse to let it's breath out to make sure it was tightened all the way and they started racing but he ended up riding the horses belly while it was running and he was just lucky he was a small man. It was funny as hell. We never let him live it down.lol

@@christinamarshall5946 Lol... B4 you run a horse, take it for a little walk. Good way to get air out of it's belly. This royal rider, or whoever prepared the horse is probably still not living it down. I knew one owner who would hit the horse in the belly a few times. I was only 16, but I'd owned horses back when I was 12 & never did that when I rode w/ saddle. I wasn't impressed. 🐎🙀😾

He doesn't tack up the horse, the Groom does that, so it was the Groom's fault.

@@susan9188 Lol, I don't know if I'd trust that groom again! Or, maybe the groom had a score to settle? LOL 🐎😹😹

Les gens sont devenu fous😢

There're idiots everywhere. I'm American believe me know about idiots There're millions of them here.😂

Это провокация с обеих сторон.

Are you speaking of the gentleman who the horse leaned his head on, & who kissed the horse? The horse DOES know that man, as I have seen mentioned in other videos. He is either an off duty horse trainer or guard. And- There is certainly no rule against touching the horses, most especially if they are being affectionate towards you!

NO RESPECT TO YOUR MURDERING KING. KING CHARLES WAS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE DREADFUL PARACHUTE REGIMENT WHO CAME INTO DERRY TO KILL UNARMED CIVILIANS.

Nenhum respeito a alguém que grita com um senhor idoso deixando-o constrangido 😳 😳

​@@karlianenakashiro2354They shouldn't go then🤷‍♀️, don't act dumb because we all know the rules here🤦‍♀️

@@karlianenakashiro2354 Embarrassment is certainly not a high priority, when compared with protecting lives!! These guards have a very serious job to do, with very specific limits and guidelines they Must follow. They must prevent people from touching the chains or coming any closer to the door, in the area outside the chains. This guard is obeying the rules and performing his duties. There’s no need for tourists to be surprised or embarrassed, if they do a little reading or watching videos like this online ahead of time. There are several channels which show longer videos in context and explain the rules. Perhaps there should be more signage where foot guards stand (Last I saw it there was a sign on one door but not on the opposite side of the Courtyard), but touching the chain or going past it are illegal for a reason! This is not Disneyland, these are the King’s lethally armed Life Guards on duty, protecting the King and the Royal Family. Tourists should educate themselves ahead of time Before going to military areas, and certainly should obey all posted signs such as not touching a horses reins, and not standing in the path of guards!

If you don’t want to be mistreated, OBEY the RULES!

el guardia no hizo mal es el abuelo que importuna al guardia en su trabajo a mi no me gustaria que vengan ami trabajo a tocarme las narices

People are not allowed to touch the guards, Block their way or stand in their path, nor get close to them; they are not allowed to touch the chains or go into the area close to the door, which is chained off for a reason! The guard is doing his job, and following the rules to warn the man, so there are not more serious consequences! This is not Disneyland, it is a Military area. If people are not ready to behave and follow rules, they should NOT Visit Military grounds.

No, he was shouting at a tourist, off camera to the right, who had walked through the archway into the area which is off-limits to tourists.

REINS A Monarch reigns.

?

@@apersonwhocantmoveitmoveit7688 Because of the tourists...

Perhaps you should try sniffing a little less glue from time to time. And if you don’t know how to follow the rules I recommend you avoid military grounds. This is not Disneyland, these guards are lethally armed for a reason! They are the King’s Life Guards, protecting the King’s life and the Royal Family.

@SalyLuz-hc6he Another one getting it backwards. I'm saying the guards understand self-entitlement because of the asshole tourists they deal with all day. I'm the guy who would buy the guards pints all night after work.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

No it doesnt that was the old sign haven't out the new ones up yet when this was recorded

The only problems are the ignorant,disrespectful visitors!!!DWPS fawr!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

LoL what kind of hat is that looks like a cone with tassels on top and hooker boots 😂 if they only knew they were working for a reptilian satanic cult of crap 😂 one day they'll find out . Thank God the evil reptilian satanic cult is dead 😊 all the innocent little children are safe now 💯

Try telling that to those in charge! They change the rules every five minutes seemingly, telling the Troopers not to shout was a master-stroke of stupidity imo.

They DO have guidelines, and so do the tourists who choose to walk onto military grounds! They must respect the rules; do not annoy, harass or touch the guards; do not obstruct the pathway of guards or horses; Do not touch the chains or go any closer to the door than outside of the chains; and never ever touch or grab the horses reins!! How hard is it to obey these simple rules? If it is too difficult for someone, they should definitely not go to military grounds of any type!

NO. These guards are doing their job, and they are following the rules! When people visit military grounds, they must also follow the rules! No one should grab the reins of horses, just as the nearby signs say several times. No one should approach the area near the door, where the foot guards are on duty. They must not touch the chain, harass or touch the guards. When people insist on disobeying, they will be shouted at &/or made to leave! These lethally armed guards are the King’s Life Guards, and they are on duty to protect the King’s Life, and the Royal Family. This is not a game, or a pretend dress up demonstration.

@@SalyLuz-hc6he These Guards are not at Horseguards to protect anyone's life!

SOME tourists are ignorant.

This nasty commentator should shut his mouth and keep his stupid comments to himself. I will never 'like' people like him, as that just puts money into their bank accounts.

I take it that you've never been on holiday, then.

Ce serait bien plus compréhensible EN METTANT LA PONCTUATION ! Vielen Dank im voraus......

¡¡¿¿De veras se sacó la cresta o será parte del show!??

@@chemyhenriquez9219 What are you on about?? And this is not any type of “show,” This is military grounds, with Lethally armed guards on duty to protect the King’s Life, and the Royal Family! If people cannot obey the rules, they should not set foot on any type of military grounds!

He was yelling at some else off too the old man’s right. I thought at first he was yelling at him and it made me sad until I watched it again and saw his head was turned.
