Watching that little girl @ 24:20 standing so close to the horse was absolutely nerve racking, especially when the horse started to move it's front hoof... Some adults have no common sense whatsoever to have ever allowed it!!!
It was scary but I got the impression the horse was very aware of her and was trying to step away from her a bit, she was too close! I noticed the gunner was too, her expression changed and she was watching closely. Common sense isn’t very common anymore!🙀😳🐎❤️
@@herberthowell7344 read the comment I responded to and look at the time stamp and watch it again. That is most certainly a gunner and NOT a Blues and Royal, they had already changed over and left.
I have come to conclusion, these ppl that are disrespectful, not following requests,by the police and guards, should get a citation of some sort, scolding and being spoke to kindly don't work, try something else, citations would maybe hinder these ppl
Yeah, I think there should also be some Metropolitan Police there that can impose on the spot fines to transgressors. That would leave the MDP to concentrate on their specialised role.
I use to love watching. But I just can't handle the disrespect these stupid people show to the guard's and horses. That is not a petting zoo. And those guards are on duty... people grow up and learn some respect and manners. I can't take it any longer sorry. Sooooo saaaad.
I have to agree with your comment. It is becoming a joke now. I find it hard to believe that nobody can stop this beautiful tradition of the guarding of our monarch's property becoming a circus. The ignorant few are not only making the horses more prone to bite by forcing their hands into it's face, but that is surely why some of these animals bite. Also personal space is key for any beings right whether animal or human. I do hope the MoD can come up with a solution. More visible policing controlling the crowds would be a start. For a military facility, the public have too much access to horse and guard. Just watch this makes me want to shout at the screen. I am going to try and write to our government after the general election to see if the MoD can do anything to sort something out. Probably a complete waste of time, but I think it's a start. I am already in touch with my MP over a personal issue, so I will give him something to think about.
I think people are idiots. They don't believe these men and women actually went to war and fought so they just have a job of sitting on a horse.. Absolutely no RESPECT . IVE heard them laughing and making fun of them.
Surely the guards should be telling those tourists to let go. That first one could plainly see her but did nothing. Just sends out a message that anything is allowed and take no notice of the sign. They’ll be lifting their kids onto the horses next and the guards will do sweet fa!!
Ignorant and entitled. Wow. BUT The parents of the little girl with the red coat win the worst parents award. These horses are more skittish than the Household Cavalry ones.
Oh my, I can no longer watch this. Nothing is being done in a positive change, just constant disgusting behaviors and horses and guards having to endure this.
Because of the horses coming out of the stable across the courtyard to enter the box from the back which is when the horse already in the box comes out onto to the public footpath. Also there are more people in the courtyard that need to be moved behind the white lines. People not always compliant
Also, seems the boxes should be cleaned of excrement when a horse uses the bathroom. Horses do not like to stand in it. I truly believe a horse was misbehaving radically one time when there was a lot he had to stand in and he was rebelling big time.
Each country needs to start petting zoos to fulfill the needs of their citizens to pet horses. Good profit! You can also dress up guards in the regalia of their own nation so that they can have photo ops and gain this same type of experience at home. Also do not forget to set up the same sign in the language of the nation. Then maybe when they get to London they might have learned some respect for the Guards and their horses.
What is wrong the people grabbing the reins, stir ups i would stop every tourist from touching the horses who knows what these people are carring and the horses get sick, why do Chinese people point at the large horse like you don't know you're standing next to a magnificent large horse do they have to throw up hand signals too do they know how dumb that looks. They have ruined the experience for every tourist. I feel bad for the guards and the horses that have to deal with people like that
Slight improvement on the risk assessment observations. People are behaving themselves more, however, there still exists quite a high level of risk. It doesn't take much for a horse, even purposely trained for volatile crowd situations, to respond normally to stimuli in a threatening incident. The tourists, other pedestrians or anyone close are, as it were, in the firing line. It's great for tourism, friendly interactions etc., however, I still can't see how this would pass official risk assessments, even for the fact that the police and soldiers accept the dangers of their occupation. Tourists etc., should also understand their responsibilities under occupational and safety laws (OHS). Yes, this applies to work space safety but pretty much everywhere is someone's or another's work space even for all the holiday makers, sight seerers, social media responders etc., swelling the ranks.
I had wondered about that so did some checking, and they roach (or hog as they say in England) because of the type of harnesses they wear when pulling the artillery wagons. 🙂
It seems it would be of a benefit if the Guards on the boxes had some sort of way to communicate? Such as “watch out for someone dropping apples or giving apples to the horses”. Or “a drunk guy just cursed me out for no reason and is heading your way”. Etc. I am sure with all the Brits cool technology they could figure out some way of inconspicuously giving them a communication system for urgency of course not just to spend the time chit chatting. 😊
If I were there and the Bus pulled in, I would have to leave because I have zero filters left and would start yelling at them for being rude and obnoxious! I’m sorry but everyone needs to play by the rules and acting shocked and laughing doesn’t cut it. 🪬🧿🤦🏼♀️🧿🪬
