"UNEXPECTED"! Everything Was Fine, Until This Happened!

After watching this video and other ones regarding the King's Guards and the behaviour of some tourists I think it is high time for a fence to be built around this area in order to protect both Guards and their horses from stupid tourists.

YES, and Amen. They really need to build a barrier between the horse guards and the people it's just circus. In this day and age when people don't have an internal sense of boundaries, they need to have a boundary put there for them! Also in this day and age with unknown enemies, the guard should never be that exposed. Keep a distance Please. Cameras are made with zoom lenses.

Like I said before on another channel...ppl act like it's something from Disney land...they can interact and think there is no consequence to thier actions. This is not a person in costume and the horse is not an animatronic prop. They are a real functioning part of this place. I've seen this in other places like changing of the guard in Scotland, ppl just standing there and have to be shouted at to move or try to lift the soldiers kilts etc...

Just before this video I watched another episode where the guard had to push the panic button. I saw some similar behaviors and the two horses one was first the one kept the first one with the panic button. He kept chewing about on his bed and his tongue was asked you and then just waving his head up and down to both sides of the chest areas. Same areas people touch. I'm noticing this horse is doing something similar with the mouth first there are lot of bugs going around and I'm wondering if some of those bugs might have a chemical that they emit. The horses can't tell you that their tongue is burning. Anyone inspecting them wouldn't see it. I'm watching little bugs flying around. The horses tongue is kind of going from side to side, both horses were waving their head this one is stopping its foot it's trying to express something it can't do anything about. Something might have a burning sensation. A second theory is worse. I've often thought of those people that come up and then put their hand to the horse's nose and mouth area who knows what they could put on their hands as a sadistic trick like bengay or some other chemical that can begin to burn overtime. Ben gay gets hotter and hotter over time. I don't think any of those people should ever be patting the horses and touching them who knows what chemical they could have on their hands..✋

The chain is not a martingal. The horses wear a cavalry bridle with the headpiece and bit able to be removed leaving the horse in just a headcollar. The chain is attached to the headcollar and looped around the horses neck like an ordinary lead rope. It's made of chain because they are cavalry horses. In the days of mounted combat the chain would offer some protection from a sword slash to the horses throat.

To a horse handler, it is obvious that either there is a horsefly biting his underbelly (which would mean they missed a spot with the insect repellant) or his tack is pinching. Of course he could be just having a bad day… just saying most trained horses won’t act up unless there is a reason.

@narvelancoleman859711 ай бұрын
A horse might stomp when he's impatient. This behavior is often seen when a horse has been tied up for a long period of time, or around feeding time. Repeated stomping can quickly turn into pawing, and the horse normally does it to catch your attention and express his impatience.

I would just point out that no Cavalry horse wears a martingale. What you can see are the leather bridoon or snaffle reins hanging loose, or the steel teather chain, which is attached to the headstall. Most of the trouble that the troopers have with their mounts are the inevitable problems that occur between the necessity for the horse to do what it is told, when told and (the tricky part) for as long as it is required, and trying to take into account the wants and needs of an intelligent, sensitive, and often self opinionated animal, surrounded by well intentioned idiots.

After watching this video and other ones regarding the King's Guards and the behaviour of some tourists I think it is high time for a fence to be built around this area in order to protect both Guards and their horses from stupid tourists.
Yes. Totally agree, tourists should not be allowed within arm's reach of the horses .
I second that!
YES, and Amen. They really need to build a barrier between the horse guards and the people it's just circus. In this day and age when people don't have an internal sense of boundaries, they need to have a boundary put there for them! Also in this day and age with unknown enemies, the guard should never be that exposed. Keep a distance Please. Cameras are made with zoom lenses.
Like I said before on another channel...ppl act like it's something from Disney land...they can interact and think there is no consequence to thier actions. This is not a person in costume and the horse is not an animatronic prop. They are a real functioning part of this place. I've seen this in other places like changing of the guard in Scotland, ppl just standing there and have to be shouted at to move or try to lift the soldiers kilts etc...
Yea an electric fence
People need to learn that when a horse pins back it’s ears you need to back off. This is a clear sign that the horse is uncomfortable with the situation.
Also if the dogs hackels are raised leave it alone.
Oh a horse expert
And dog expert 🤣
Agreed. There was a few moments you could see the horse had its ears right back and doing that big wide eyed look. It was clearly bothered by something.
Absolutely agreed :)

The guard is a very skilled rider, however the pedestrian tourists are idiots!!!! Especially the person with baby buggy. A clearly skittish horse and the person with a buggy still stays there for a look, unbelievable and putting the toddler at great risk! Hats of and respect to the guard

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Such idiots. I really felt for the horse and rider.

I understand this can be very unsettling for the horse, with so many people around.
They should strike a line where people can't cross to harass the horses! My grandfather was a cavalryman....
Did anyone else endure emotional stress at the way the crowds would NOT back off, seeing that there was a difficult situation going on?? I was literally grinding my teeth in annoyance! Geez those guards have to tolerate a lot of crap. Well done to the rider's handling under these circumstances.

The people with the baby in the stroller were the last to move back and the horse was kicking. There is no amount of guessing on how stupid the people can get. Horse was beautiful, and the rider handled him very well. Kudos to the guards and their helper.
And still hold that sword in place these Guards and Horses are so amazing.
But that horse had had enough. The horse was saying that it wanted out. It should have been listened to. For the horse's sake! Great riding kept it from really hurting someone. But horse's shoes can slip on pavement. The horse, and rider, could have been injured.
I'm always so impressed when an equestrian allows his mount to exhibit natural behavior, while still maintaining a significant enough connection with his mount that he can gently temper the animal's stress level to ensure nobody gets seriously hurt. (Even if they deserve to.)
He allows it because he cannot stop it. He is sitting on an animal that weighs well over half a tonne, well trained though it is, it has a mind of its own and if you try to fight it there will only be one winner.

Horses 🐎 are very sensitive, and I figure they get that unpleasant Antsy 🐜 feeling that We Humans get, and it makes the Horses behave that way, and the Guard is taught to be Masterful, by guiding the Horse in circles, and this helps The Horse to regain control and work off those bad feelings and bad vibes.

Just before this video I watched another episode where the guard had to push the panic button. I saw some similar behaviors and the two horses one was first the one kept the first one with the panic button. He kept chewing about on his bed and his tongue was asked you and then just waving his head up and down to both sides of the chest areas. Same areas people touch. I'm noticing this horse is doing something similar with the mouth first there are lot of bugs going around and I'm wondering if some of those bugs might have a chemical that they emit. The horses can't tell you that their tongue is burning. Anyone inspecting them wouldn't see it. I'm watching little bugs flying around. The horses tongue is kind of going from side to side, both horses were waving their head this one is stopping its foot it's trying to express something it can't do anything about. Something might have a burning sensation. A second theory is worse. I've often thought of those people that come up and then put their hand to the horse's nose and mouth area who knows what they could put on their hands as a sadistic trick like bengay or some other chemical that can begin to burn overtime. Ben gay gets hotter and hotter over time. I don't think any of those people should ever be patting the horses and touching them who knows what chemical they could have on their hands..✋
That horse seemed fine until that man patted him a lot
Well how stupid to name something that could upset the horse. Don't you just love the know it all.
Everything was not really fine - the horse's ears were back, it was pawing the ground for a good time before it moved out of position. There was a mother with a child in a buggy who was only a couple of feet from the horse's hooves when it went out near the tourists! Well done to the guards who contained the situation until they had to remove the agitated horse.
My lovely Thoroughbred who is now 30yrs and I've had him for 24yrs, starts pawing if he's in pain with Collic or some other tummy upset if he's hungry. It's nothing to do with bits or tack pinching him. To me that horse was trying to tell some one that he was not feeling to well
Possibly wasp or horsefly upsetting the horse. It happens when the weather gets warmer.

@@VeronicaCraig-nq4zj the horse is on duty for 1 hour. That includes inspection and change over ceremony so about 45 mins standing in the box.
The horse seems to be showing aversion to standing in the droppings on the ground, presumably from another horse / horses. Perhaps their is a strong smell, which this horse is reacting too. I think if the box had been hosed down between guard change, it would have helped avoid this potentially dangerous situation.
My horse does this when he’s being stroppy or agitated . Not always colic .
The skill of this guard is to be commended. I can just about reverse a car, never mind a horse. The tourists see more of my country than most Brits'. Sad but true, so please be respectful of the magnificent horses and our wonderful Kings Guards ❤
I felt very sorry for the horse, he was stressed with all the crowds and it looked as though the rider was starting to become stressed too.
There's actually a "panic button" for the rider to press before the horse actually gets so out of control. I was surprised the horse wasn't listened to and removed as it was, not just asking, but demanding to be taken out of there.

Sam-the horse whisper, i wonder if he has the magical touch with all animals.
I agree with you, many of the horses also throw their heads up too, they wear a chain martingale type which restricts how far they can reach or I am sure the guards would be hit with the head coming back which leads me to think they are aware of the problem. Many years I witnessed a rider having his nose broken. There are several things that could cause problems start at the bit and work your way round the horse it breaks my heart to see these Beautiful animals in such distress!
The chain is not a martingal. The horses wear a cavalry bridle with the headpiece and bit able to be removed leaving the horse in just a headcollar. The chain is attached to the headcollar and looped around the horses neck like an ordinary lead rope. It's made of chain because they are cavalry horses. In the days of mounted combat the chain would offer some protection from a sword slash to the horses throat.
I agree 100% that the bit are probably a big issue here
@@maxinegerber-mom1874 those bits have been around cavalry horses for over 200 years.

I don't know how those horses can stand all the noise and rude people around them all the time while standing guard. I know they're trained to deal with it but I still don't see how they can be so patient and the guards are quite impressive in how they manage those horses. Bless their hearts.
The horses are special trained to stand there. They trained to ignore noise, people surrounding them and any other distractions. Usually a horse pawing with one leg means it's impatient or frustrated. I think that the guards and soldiers were aware..but the post can not be left unguarded, so I do believe they were trying to speed up the shift change, whilst reassuring both the guard and the horse.
I agree. A bored horse is a troublemaker...lol
The horse gave crystal clear indications he was stressed and annoyed (pawing, chewing, moving around, ears pinned) even the two kids felt the horses negative energy and hesitated walking in front of him....sadly no one listened to what the horse was saying.
These wonderful creatures also have bad days, heat, insects, crowds, lots of voices, traffic and of course they get nervous or something hurts them in the whole story , people they are worst.
All the Guards handle the horses great. They have respect for them and horses trust them.
The horse is tired of being treated like he is in a petting zoo. He is working and expects the respect he is due. I don’t blame him for being angry. His guard is doing a great job working with his partner.
I’ve watched several horses really enjoying the attention from the tourists, but I’ve also seen so many being pestered by people who think the horse guards are entertainment. There are real working soldiers with their trained horses. I can’t help but wish people would not be allowed to get so close to the horse & rider. I can’t believe how many make sudden moves & loud noises. Bless the horses & the soldiers for their hard work & service. You look wonderful!!!🙏🏼🤗💕

It almost appeared as though her B was sitting wrong in her mouth the way she kept jumping and licking, she's definitely irritated not just by the crowds that she's trying to be used to. She definitely was having a rough day! Kudos to the guard staff. For the parent that have the baby in that stroller and just stood there while that horse was clearly in distance to have kicked that poor baby in the head, I hope they see this video in realize how close they were to a really awful day!
I couldn't believe that mother did nothing while that huge animal was in distress. Makes me think of those idiots that get so close to bison or elk at national parks.
Yes. I thought that the bit in her mouth was irritating her. She kept moving her jaw incessantly.
Brilliant handling soldier
Horses are very sensitive animals, and sometimes dislike people , thinking nasty thoughts or with peculiar smells.😮
Why is there no white line around the horse and guardsman to stop the public from getting so close and behave like idiots
I wish there was. It would protect everyone.
Idiots don't pay any attention to white lines. Or signs. If the big stompy horse itself isn't enough of a clue that they should stay back there's no hope for these people.
You forgot: Stupid People ignore everything!
I’m hoping that these incredible horses and guards are able to ride together each day. This way they will understand each others mannerisms and recognize when something is amiss
Someones gonna get really hurt one day. This horse has had enough. The guard is a wonderful handler and knows what to do. But people need to stand back and give them some space!
To a horse handler, it is obvious that either there is a horsefly biting his underbelly (which would mean they missed a spot with the insect repellant) or his tack is pinching. Of course he could be just having a bad day… just saying most trained horses won’t act up unless there is a reason.
Definitely uncomfortable, tack is pinching or something hurts. He keeps licking, could be the bit.
exactly ... the way he was trying to rub his chest or his leg was obviously something or even sweat irritating him well done on the handler trying to reassure him, it was kind to see..
Thats how I feel too. His bit may have been uncomfortable
I taught beginners' riding years ago. Horses are not machines- they've good & bad days just as we do. They have social habits, have likes, dislikes, anxieties, become ill or sore just as we do. Some figured this out sooner than others..😅
If he is getting bitten they shake and move their head or attempt to move their heads around to where it is. He is just having a bad day he could be a new horse as well
Boy this horse is angry, not only is he stomping look at he’s ears he is mad as hell. Stand clear when you see this behaviour.🥺🥺
Thank you for being gentle on the reins even in a tense moment. Superior horsemanship.
The troopers and horses on this detail have extraordinary patience.
Horse was just relieving it's boredom. It's criminal the way they have to stand in a guard box without having a chance to move about. Good on the horse for doing what it wanted to.
Only one hour. It's nothing. They only do it once per week. They have a wonderful life❤
I so admire those who appreciate, handle, understand, study the behavior and science of these magnificent horses! What a special gift, and talent to understand and have a special bind with them. Talk about loving a job and being paid for what you love to do!👏👏👏
A horse might stomp when he's impatient. This behavior is often seen when a horse has been tied up for a long period of time, or around feeding time. Repeated stomping can quickly turn into pawing, and the horse normally does it to catch your attention and express his impatience.
That was a very dangerous situation. Glad the horse got in control finally.
I don’t believe in these beautiful animals having to stand so long, it’s usually the martingale and bit that bothers some of them. Guard did a great job but the public are so stupid. I have horses but I’ve had lots of mishaps , people forget how strong these horses are. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I would just point out that no Cavalry horse wears a martingale. What you can see are the leather bridoon or snaffle reins hanging loose, or the steel teather chain, which is attached to the headstall. Most of the trouble that the troopers have with their mounts are the inevitable problems that occur between the necessity for the horse to do what it is told, when told and (the tricky part) for as long as it is required, and trying to take into account the wants and needs of an intelligent, sensitive, and often self opinionated animal, surrounded by well intentioned idiots.
@@oldharpydisguised709 a self opinionated animal??
THEY ARE ONLY OUT THERE FOR AN HOUR
@@oldharpydisguised709 Thank heavens! The voice of reason! I hope everyone reads your response because it answers their questions, calms their fears and hopefully educates a few. Well done!
They stand for 1hr.
It's a wonder people don't get kicked more. They're too close crowding around...
I wish they would clean the boxes more often. Those beautiful horses shouldn't have to stand in their own waste for hours.
The horse was like, ‘I don’t wanna do this today. Get me outta here!” Horse was not having a good day.
Do you know how much concentration you have to have to manage a horse thats acting up and those fools are just standing there
He;s had enough, fed up with standing there, doesn't like all the noise, he's not used to it yet, its a newbie.. plus he probably knows its nearly time for changeover, when he can be led away and is impatient for it.
Och bless😊
Seharusnya para turis sudah mundur melihat kuda kerajaan sedang tidak baik baik saja. Mereka malah mempersulit petugas penjaga kerajaan yang sedang mengatasi kudanya. Bener benar tidak punya aturan para turis ini
These horses are brilliant. They have internal time clocks that tell them when it's time to move on and go home.
The bell helps too.
Splendid horsemanship ❤
Poor horse he needs rest in the country with his guard 🙏🌞
Such a beautiful horse. ❤
Taking the horse around and then back to his post AND leaving the back doors open so the horse doesn't feel hemmed in. Good training and common sense.
These visitors have no respect!!! Stand behind the "barracades"!!!!
Awww he was having an off day they should have let him finish his shift early
When in London, several years ago, we found the police to be so nice and friendly. We were at Buckingham Palace for the changing of the guards. You’d think the police would be so sick of tourists, being that’s a popular event that many like to see. But no, they were so kind. Love London.
Here's an idea, restrict the public access near the horses!!
I feel so sorry for the horse.
Well done 👏👏👏👏 are the Guards and horses there day and night?
10 til 4 the gates are locked at night.
The rider - guard did a great job steering the horse back into the stall. It mustn't be easy holding the reins with one hand and the sword with the other.
the impact of the man at 9:37 on the horse is insane!
I know very little about horses, but the horse seemed to calm down when the rear doors were left open. Perhaps he /she was getting overheated.
I think this horse is fairly new, it’s first time out recently was fairly skittish with the crowd and was taken in, I was surprised the person with the child in the pram didn’t move back behind the bollards when asked by the police despite the horse spinning around, the child could have been hurt.
This is so cruel. The horse has no choice here and to subject him to this kind of treatment is cruel.
They should start giving tickets to ppl. Charge them in court for violating guards space
Wow that guard is amazing...
These horses should have the same rules as a service dog/assistance dog. They are "working" after all. Standing beside is one thing but patting and stroking I don't agree with.
I feel for the horses natural want to move forward. Standing on stone/cement for long periods can become painful, causing soreness. I wonder, are they at least permitted to ride them forward (guards without all their gear), on a grassy/dirt surface allowing them to loosen up after their required duty? They have bottled up tension needing relief.
Exceptional management by the kings guard. Well done
"Unexpected!" ???😂 ...everything about that horse's movements from the head to the tail and feet indicates it's crowd anxiety was going to result in some kind of something happening...happy to see it was mostly uneventful and that they helped the horse not to feel hemmed in...❤
When that horse signed up for this it didn't know it would be so boring. It allways secretly wished to be a tap dancer.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is a beautiful thing to see our Kings horses and guards the uniforms are spectacular
The horse 🐎 said stop taking my photo I had enough of it 😂😂😂
This horse absolutely hates his job and I don't blame him! The tourists really are inconsiderate! Clearly the horse is stressed, back up and give him some breathing room! They are clueless! Poor baby. And bravo to the guard, stayed calm.
Clearly something was wrong here right from the beginning. The guard was amazing and stayed calm, but something is wrong with the poor horse. Glad help was summoned. Personally, I believe this “Guard duty” should now be stopped, there’s way too many idiots out there, bothering the soldiers and horses every day.
They need to have a place to donate for treats for the horses.
It’s a tourist attraction. That’s why they post signs on the wall. You don’t see police on horseback doing this in America because they’re not a tourist attraction. Just stating facts
