You Won’t Believe what Guard did to this Man! 

I'm from Oklahoma. There are a few things you do not do. You don't touch another man's hat and you don't take the reigns of a man's horse.

I don't understand why they don't make it law that no one is allowed to touch, harrass or feed the horses and then post a big sign that says it's ILLEGAL to do so. It's not a petting zoo and they're not an attraction for the tourist's entertainment, they're the King's guards doing their job. I'm always amazed at the ignorance, rudeness, disrespect, and just plain stupidity of people; and it appears all of these traits are spread equally among the world's population.

There are many things that people who come to view these Guardsmen and Horses think they can do that they CAN NOT!! The Holding of the Rein's is a BIG NO NO!! as you are taking control of the Horse. Feeding the Horse is also a NO NO, as they do not know what the person is offering the animal plus the Horses are Kept on a diet that is well balanced for all there needs when people say that these Horses are living in 5 Star luxury they are not far wrong. All aspects of the Horse is looked into and they are cared for by a team of dedicated and highly trained personnel. The British Army has it's own Veterinary Corp to look after all the animals that the Army has The Household Cavalry have their own Fully trained Blacksmith's Farriers who are seen riding on ceremonial duty wearing a Black Feather Plumes on their helmets and carrying a special Axe with a spike and blade. These Soldiers are probably the best trained Farrier/Blacksmith's in the Country as they are looking after all the Horses in the British Army's care. The Blacksmiths Forge see's 50 horses a week due to the Hard riding surfaces the Horses have to ride on during their working day, so it is a busy part of the Regiments day to day life for all There are other specialist Equine Trades such as Saddle makers and people who look after the Uniforms of both Men and Horse all of which are taught to the highest standards and will have exams that have to be Passed to be in that team

Never get tired watching a centuries old tradition. Horses and guards look absolutely amazing❤❤

The public need to stay behind a rope or line ….it’s just crazy what these beautiful horses and guards have to endure

So many people totally disrespect the guards, and the horses.

I feel like taking the reins of a guard's horse is like someone taking the wheel of your car when you are driving. You just don't do it. I am American but I have so much respect for the guards and the horses. I hope to visit London one day.

What amaze me is the patience of the horse….

MY BLOOD IS BOILING ........Leave the horse alone, he is working for the King, actually those people who touch the horse should spend a month in prison then they will learn what respect is... King's Guard respect what you do, thumbs up

What amazes me is the public’s arrogance, they don’t even ask the guard if they can stand close or touch ….how dare they 🤷‍♀️. They Wouldn’t touch my precious horse a second time that’s for sure😡😤

I LOVE the BANDS and parades. Bummer their big drum Clydesdales weren't out today. Those horses are MAGNIFICENT. So calm with those big loud deep drums pounding against them. Only a Clydesdale is calm enough for that job. Very, very COOL. ALL the bands are really good. I have a major respect for the band that plays instruments while on horseback. Incredible. I'm always impressed and in awe. Well Done UK. Bravo. GREAT Regiments. No wonder THE QUEEN loved her Military so much. SHE was so proud of each one of them. Great, I'm in tears again. I miss her so much. I don't know if I will ever be able to accept her being gone. SHE was the Greatest Lady to ever walk this Planet. 🌹🕊QUEEN ELIZABETH II🕊🌹 A Colorado Mountain Woman 💜

Thank you, that was most interesting. It is good to know the horses are looked after by such highly qualified people , and then they have to be faced by such morons when they are on duty in public

The horses stànd for 1 hour twice in one day they are well taken care of they are fed and watered well , get plenty of attention and affection and if they do not want to work they don't, you can tell that some enjoy themselves. When they retire they do not end up being slaughtered for food. All the kings horses have a good retirement and are very well looked after. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Rule should be .Don’t touch the horse.

Treat the guards,horses with respect

I have so much respect for these horses and guards they have to put up with so much through their working days ❤it must get so tiresome for them with people always grabbing the horses reins and they have to shout ,get off the reins 😂😊everyone should remember these are working kings guards ❤so don’t laugh or disrespect them when they shout ❤love and respect to all you working soldiers ❤❤..

So many people have this attitude that they are entitled to do these thing. I just don't understand that. I see that Sign and see that its a polite way of telling people to leave the guards and horses alone!

Please be safe. And thank you for your service

Geez, Why do people feel they are allowed to touch!!! The Guard and Horses are not stuffed toys😡

Unbelievable!!! Give people a smart phone & their brains are sucked into the device

I Love that the guards often look in the direction of the cameras....bless them.

Some parents are obviously stupid taking very small children close to the horse because you can see the fear in their eyes and this could give the children a fear of horses for the rest of their lives. I know from first hand an episode in my early childhood which has left me with a fear of these magnificent animals. I love watching horses but if one got close I would have to hide until it got by.

I am Canadian, I can't image someone touching a mountain police, their hat or their horse! Why can hundreds of people touch that poor horse so many times? People don't all read English! Why not make signs on the brick, instead of writing? Simple and clear for all! ❤

The man in the grey jacket is a regular who comes by and asks to give the horses mints. At 0:54 he’s just finished giving the first horse a mint and walks to the other box. He asks the second guard at 1:16 who shakes his head no. It looks like the man motions behind him probably saying that the other guard allowed it and the guard shakes his head again. That’s what the guard did to the man, he said no. If you were paying attention you could’ve seen this within the first two minutes of the video. The man in question is in the thumbnail. It probably took longer to complain about the title being click bait in the comments.

These Guards must be the most patient and long suffering members of The Military anywhere in The World! How long do they have to sit there and put up with this abuse from Rude Trashy Foreigners?

This guard seems like he’s tired of all these people and their BS. Don’t blame him!

It’s so nice the children get to see the beautiful horses and the guards !!!!

Yeah, that guard did not shout at tourists for touching the reins. He either was tired, bored, or had something on his mind.

The only thing controlling these horses is a bit the reins, and an occasional slight pressure applied to the horses side, i can see and understand the guardsman speaking up when that rule is broken that can lead to a very serious injury. They are real beauties, give them honor.

Anyone notice the plump woman in the black dress with black and red straps turn her back on the guard and surreptitiously move what looked like peppermints from her left hand to her right hand, which she then placed under the horse's mouth. Naturally the horse took them out of her hand. This woman did not ask the guard for permission to give his horse a treat. Tampering with military equipment, be it a tank or a horse, I would think is a punishable offence. The Horse, for all we know, could be allergic to pepermint 😮🤦🏼‍♀️ What a damn cheek 😲. There are times when I wish I was at the horse guards. So many people I would let rip at 😡

This one particular Guard didn't say a word when multiple people grabbed the reins!

Weird times we live in when the Guards have to be guarded by armed officers. Sure those swords are ceremonial but you could still run someone through.

Hey, I'm glad i watched, I learned a lot just from the comment Craig left in the comment area, with some very detailed and good information. So, my time was not wasted.

And you will not believe how bored I was waiting for it to happen.

People act like they've never saw a horse before. I can't believe there are so many ignorant people that do things like this. Do they really think the horse an rider is there for them to look at an put their hands all over. It's not done for entertainment.

Miss behaving turists should be chased out of town. Some are just despicable. Cheers

These are the most bomb proof horses ever....thank goodness the guards put people in their place when people grab the reins! Dont touch the horse!!!! Its working!!!!!

I really believe that the horses like most of the people, it’s the few that abuse them. It’s them that need to be more considerate to the horse. It’s just inconsiderate. I was born in london used to see them a lot when I lived there they need to be treated with the respect that they deserve.

What is up with this Guard??? How many more people and even a child, is he going to allow to hold on to the reins with no reprimand!!! 😕😠😠😠

Watching this is a brilliant study in to how sane people can do insane things and still convice themselves they are right and everyine else is wrong.

These Horses are so intelligent they are even careful round children

The horses demonstrate incredible discipline and patience having to stand there and put up with crying children, pushy people, groping hands, arms being thrust at the horse from all angles, and then the sheer rudeness and stupidity of the tourists who believe they can do and say anything as long as they get that photo op. Perhaps it's time to change tradition, give the horses a much -needed reprieve from this madness, and let the guards sit on ATVs with comfy seats. People could still have their photo ops, but I rather doubt anyone is going to pet an ATV, try to grab the controls, or say rude things to the machine.

Why isn’t the guard yelling at the ones holding the rein.

The little girl at 18:33 tugged the rein twice, quite sharply! I dont think the guard noticed! I shouted at the screen "Dont touch the reins!" and waited for the guards shout!

Nice, no shouting today. Soo many people, they certainly are a tourist attraction. Today's horse's seemed more settled and guards more relaxed. People are strange around the horse's. Do these horses go to the Norfolk beach to have a well deserved break i wonder? Seen military horse's up here before, but not sure if they are the same.

Why the heck are there no "Keep Hands Off Reins!". Sign???

Yes!

Poor horse looks like it wants to sleep

The Kings Guard are on duty! The men, women and horses stand guard to the entrance of the Ministry of Defense building, which is still there! Go to Google and read all about these British soldiers, they are not ornamental! For USA citizens, they have the same responsibilities as do the Marines who stand guard at our government buildings!!

I don't care what they complain about you should not be "feeding the horses anything no matter what other people are doing its still very wrong of this twit to complaming like a "spoit brat" he is supposed to be a "grown man for goodness sake. If someone told him to put his hand in the fire, "would he do that then.

Do not let turiist bother you. They might have black pepper lemon or mint sent on their hand. Just stupid people who bother the horse. Charge when is tyme to run. Cheers. God Bless King Charles de 3rd. Cheers

That “DRIVES ME CRAZY MAD‼️😤😠😡🤬🤯😳‼️” See the empty plastic water bottles in the corner info the Supervisor?? there stuffed into the corner near where the Horse stands….. you just have to look 👀 for them…… eeeeeerrrrrrr why can’t these SLOBS throw their garbage 🗑 away properly……. 😬🙄😮‍💨😲😮‍💨okay I’m better now that I got that out of my system 😂😂

The guard on the right end let several people hold the reins without yelling at them.

I don't understand this. I was under the impression that the horses and guards were not to be bothered, touched, etc..Why are these idiots being allowed to do this?

This guard is allowing people to hold the reins. Why is he ignoring this?

Why has nobody told the guard that the chain has got unattached?

Not enough retaliation by the guards for public encroaching in their space. No touching no standing fo photos within 2 meters. Police dogs don't get treated like a petting zoo toy dog Scream in their faces and then they will know.

You just know now and then the guards are tempted to not so gently tap the idiots on their necks with their sword.

There is a very clear sign next to thehorse saying he/she may kick or bite. Why are people so ignorant?

Rewatched wasted time never did see what the guard did to this man 🥴

People are holding the horses reigns! Your not supposed to hold them its not allowed under any circumstances!

I know it is necessary for the horses to wear the bridal, reins and bits...but it sure looks like those bits worry the horses to death....makes me really sad for them😢

Surprised by how tourists are allowed to get so close to the horses and touch them. People are very disrespectful. Amazed by the patience of horse and guard.

The horse IS a Prince!!!!

I noticed they changed the sign (not that people read it) to include don't touch the reigns. Not in this video but more recent ones.

They need to put a another sign up Do not pet the horse ! What makes people think it's okay to walk up to a strange horse that doesn't know you n pet it.

Deus abençoe todos os guardas.

i will love to learn some of the peope manners and learn the horses for a good bite. i miss my horses and but before i die i will get on one again. You horses are beautyful. keep up the good work. i am from SOUTH AFRICA

It looks like the gentleman unhooked it

I think that a lot of these people actually push their children very close to the horse hoping that something will happen to catch it on camera and make a compensation claim.

He's "whining" like a "spoilt child, " There appears to be a lack of manners from so many of the Tourists,

I think these 2 guards need to be reminded that the people are not allowed to touch the reins, i saw 3 people touching them.

Woman in orange top playing follow the LEADER or WHAT, RUDE

Poor Poor horse and Gaurds man day in and day out listening to all the tourists speaking in different languages I would go crazy 🤪 and I am watching it tourists have know idea or care so sad 😢

Quite funny watching x2 speed, the amount of tourists holding the reins were emence in this addition.

The guards are missing the rein grabbing.

Every time somebody touches the reins I'm like... GET OFF THE REINS!!!...UGH...😠 Wonder why the Guard isn't saying something?🤔

You need to have a sign on both sides of the horses saying beware horses may kick or bite don’t touch the reigns thank you, because the people who come from the side of the horse that doesn’t have the sign that states horses may kick or bite and not to touch the reigns Would help to keep some of the people from touching the reigns.

There was a girl at the left hand horse and she gave the reins a good tug! But the guard said nothing. Maybe hr didnt notice!

A horse is not a dog. You should always ask permission to pet a horse first. The horses here are tolerant and are looking for treats. They seem to like children. This horse breed were chosen for their temperament to perform this particular duty. I like examining the horses for their features and color markings. The female horses have smaller heads. The Irish stock horse is a very calm and tolerant breed, smaller than a thoroughbred and not as high strung. I love them.

People don’t understand that you don’t touch the reins of a person’s horse it’s the same as grabbing a steering wheel when someone else is driving

Look at those tourists earwigging on the king’s guardsmen conversation. Rude, very rude, should stand clear.

Increíble pensar que los ingleses, no obedecen las ordenes con respecto a estos hermosos animales, por muy capacitado qué sea el jinete, un animal estresado puede provocar un lamentable accidente.

wow look at the hoards of people being ignorant.

Fantastic ❤

The police should keep the area free from people getting so close!

Well done that guard, sugary sweets are no good for the horses.

Another misleading title. When did someone try and feed the horse. And, what did the guard do that was unbelievable?

If this guy is a regular as I saw on a previous comment ,then he should know better than to try to give this horse anything.

Amazing, simply amazing, a package or backpack left unattended is immediately removed. Yet nobody is paying any attention to the bicycle.

They need guard dogs that are raised around the horses. And is alert to dangers all those crazy people bring with them.

Do the police push people behind line?I mean as soon as they come through gate

Shameless stupid people are touching poor horses like they are there for that reason!!!!!!🤢

I would just not let general public anywhere the guards or horses while they are on duty. certainly never close enough to touch !

Love the band coming through. Where on the video was the man touching the guards helmet and horses reins?

They should have a rule. Look but don’t touch.

And what the Guard did....??? 🤬👎

The other day Ii heard n American commeent kn the colour of the skin of one of the Kings Guards "He's Black" to which the guy with the Camera who films everything around the Palace replied "So What" he obviously doesn't know that most Americans are descended from peasants who went in boatloads from Europe to America for better life than the one they had in Europe and if you see the way hey treat their animals in Spaiin they are still incivilized big style. They havee a gentleman who rescues pets who have been beaten and starved and thrown out on the streets in Spaain etc.

Does anyone know how long these Soldiers have on Duty per day???? Do they rotate between Guard Horse Duty …..????? Over to standing Gate Guars Duty….???? Just wondering 💭 how long their Day is????? Thanks 😊

Some people just so disrespectful shame on them
