Hi John. How long does it take to go from the parade ground to the kings guards when the gate is closed.?
A brisk walk of perhaps 10 minutes or so. 👍🏻
@@LondonCityWalks which you did recently.
@@LondonCityWalks Thank you for that info. Guess if you were riding Ormonde it would be a quick 2 minutes. lol.
You can tell which members of public have experience with horses. They know how to approach, touch and talk to the horses.
The lady guard knows how to handle these horses, she always keeps a firm but gentle hand with them.
I saw on video what the pro-Palestine protesters did to the Guard Horse Military building yesterday and I am outraged and I live in America. What a insult to the men who served and died for Britain. I say if they feel that strongly about Palestine why don't they move there.
Thank you, that's what I say instead of the safety of living over here
Unfortunately in Scotland we are no longer allowed to say what we think, incase we offend and end up with a criminal record!
I agree with you. Everyone is supposed to bow to them . I’m American too. Unfortunately Biden’s open boarders all criminals from every country has come in and are now threatening us. If they come in and tried to acclimate I’d be happy to have them. Oh I’m just a grumpy old lady.😂👍
@@angelahoey602 huh? 😮 I think I need to go to Google to find out what you mean.
@@maryholder3795 its the new “Hate Crime” Law that came into effect at the beginning of April in Scotland . It’s not great.
I have a friend from kindergarten also, 57 year friendship and we now shsre a room in a Canadian nursing home. 😊
Awesome
Very cool 👍❤️
you couldn't ask for anything more
They definitely give the lady trooper the skittish horses , probably as she is such a good horsewoman to see if they can be settled . Amazing as she never presses the button as well ❤
Thank you John for mentioning my country,we usually never get spoken about ❤ love from New Zealand 🇳🇿.
I live in North Pole, Alaska, USA. You have the best Horse Guard videos of those I have watched. I trained horses for many years & know those Horse Guards (horse & human) are very well trained! They do have their good & bad days though!
Sagan says, I don’t like these people, they don’t smell like good horse people. They walk up and approach without asking. I’m staying in my box!
Dear Sangan, hopefully with the back gate closed it means not as many people will bother you. All the best.
Might be in season!
Excellent part one John, the lady Trooper is just Blooming Marvellous how she handles the horses especially the one's that won't settle down i think she's magnificent. The sunlight on those buildings are superb i do like to see the walks you do before you get to Horse Guards especially in the sunshine. Thank you John stay safe ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Prince Edward Duke of Kent was retiring during this memorial and handing over the lead to Prince Edward Duke of Edinburgh
You said Jen and Darian were friendly, but do you realize how friendly you are? Super nice to people and they will remember that.
Spot on with The Household Division Regimental Sunday. VETERANS come from all over the UK and serving members are invited to attend too.
The lady Trooper was amazing handling that massive horse. The horse fought the reins all though it's guard.
My first thought was that it was going to be those orange oil protesters or the free Palestine marchers, both of whom care about themselves most, and neither of whom care about scaring the horses or the inappropriateness of the venue. I’m glad it’s actually going to be a memorial about real heroes who must always be remembered.
Quite right, protestors are a total pain in the derriere
Morning John! I am thinking if every parent sat on the ground close to the horse where they would put their tiny children to stand and they looked up at the horse they would perhaps not put their small children so close to such a large animal. Different perspective.
Girls and horses - it's an eternal attraction.
John, my father, is considered tri- lingual. He can speak fluently in French, English, and Russian. He was taught by the military because he served during the Cold War. Even now, even though he got out of the military in 1984 and learned Russian in 1972, he can still speak, read, and write cyrillic!! And he can say hello, how are you, I am fine, good bye, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in 14 different languages on top of the 3 he can speak fluently. Pretty amazing, isn't it? Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
Hello, Jenn😊 I always enjoy your posts. Regards, MP
@@marypatroy9742Thank you. Nice to see you again! Love, Jenn 💖
Shouting at the screen! John “it’s Bullseye!” The lovely police horse!!😂
Even Bullseye is shouting, “John, it’s me, Bullseye!” 😂🤣😂
to all Aussies in UK AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 2:22 have flags half mast for the 6 innocent people, 5 women and 1 male security guard who were murdered by a male person. truly shocking and sorry to report through here in case you never heard. 😢😢😢 RIP
Seen there another knife attack this time in a church.be safe over there
yes heard that and in my city two separate murders committed. innocent people in the shopping centre. now police are patrolling centre.
Praying for all their Families. So sad
So very sad. Thinking about all that have lost or have injured family or friends x🙏
So very sorry to hear this Prayers for All God Bless🙏🙏🙏
Now that's what i call a lovely pleasant and peaceful Sunday at Horse Guards😀🥰
Great vlog - thank you. Superb control of Sanguine by his/her Guard 👏👏; lovely interaction with the lady tourists; laughed at the assumption by Big Boy that he was famous 😂😂; some nice polite tourists who asked if they could touch the horse.
Scots Guards’ Black Sunday at the Guards’ memorial 14/4/2024. Also final appearance of the Duke of Kent as their Colonel.
It was a very moving Black Sunday ❤
I absolutely loved the military band playing, especially the Atholl Highlanders/Steamboat (pipe set)🥰🥰🥰I love Scottish bagpipes!(watched them on another channel that deals with military bands) The parade was wonderful, in true British fashion.
Please tell the tourists about ’meal deals’ in the supermarkets and Boots etc. it saves them a ton of money and they really like them when they find out about them.
Let em find out themselves!😂
Why do people maul and paw at the poor horses sooooo much , I think it shouldn’t be allowed, it irritates the horse.
If the horses were angry they would move away or bite.
I like the conversations, it is something that helps us understand each others idea.
Lol, the look on Sangins' face as he watched those police horses walk off liek what gives! All the other horses get to walk around london! 😂 Can't blame him on such a beautiful day.
Cyan is not a “he” SHE is a MARE.
@mrs.c5471 either way that steed seems a bit more on the let's go exploring side of things last couple days.
Hi John enjoyed your walk around today have a good day😄
Monty says “ who are you calling big head” 😂
Tour guide still using the Royal Standard as his “follow me”. Not happy! Great video again thanks John!
Hi John .. what an interesting conversation with our friends from across the pond .. they were super respectful and delightfully friendly Is a shame they had a bad experience at Raffles across the road .. just as well they had you showing them that us brits are friendly and approachable .. it always makes your holiday when you have a positive and friendly interaction with the locals ..so I’m sure you have made their day …I actually enjoy you having fun and interesting interactions with friendly and civil tourists ..it adds to the enjoyment of the video ..
These tourists are so lucky,. I live in Uk northwest and can’t even afford a day out in five years. Wish I could see these places for real. So thankful for this channel.
I live in Glasgow and have no chance of getting there. . .
I was thinking back to when I was a boy and most Sundays my grandad and I would walk down from home to Horse Guards and I am sure we could feed the horses with half an apple. There was not as much touching and there was no shouting at people I can recall from the troopers. There again tourism wasn't as big a thing so soon after the war.
I appreciate your comments on a certain subject and in my opinion if some aren’t happy with something they are viewing then go elsewhere that suits your interests. That’s called freedom.
23:03 love the view across the street and those beautiful buildings. I've so enjoyed it when you walk over there and film.
Did they ever get that building cleaned of the red paint from the Palestine protest that is not far from the horse guards
What a magnificent horse and amazing lady Trooper!!!
Americans are very friendly people ❤
As a UK officer myself... I really don't have a problem with anyone filming me. I've been in the newspaper TWICE way before I even joined the job, so it's really not an issue. Sticking a camera right in someone's face is a bit different. I've also never understood the point of "auditing" the police.... what are you aiming to achieve other than provoking officers into possibly incorrectly using legislation or powers, or for the sake of it? You want to audit the police... you want to stand outside a police station, filming police vehicles driving into and out of the station, and filming officers in uniform that would be seen out on the street in uniform... just seems a rather odd practise and I don't understand who "watches it" and thinks it's a neccessary thing. Why do the public NEED to see officers in their police vehicles driving into and driving out of the station? Furthermore any member of the public can easily see this themselves as every police station where I serve is right in a town or city centre, not on some deserted country lane in the middle of nowhere. It would be like going into a hospital, watching a doctor discuss with a patient their medical conditions, or watching a surgeon perform an operation in theatre to make sure the "public are geting their money's worth". Get a fair few auditors at the station I work out of, often with drones too. Doesn't bother me - I just ignore them and get on with the day, but I find it a rather odd concept.
Thank you for not only showing the horses, but the buildings 4 Whitehall, towards Trafalgar Square. The lovely blue sky toward T.S. with the ribbon like clouds. Thank you John, its been raining here in the NW England. 30:29 love 💖 the USA ladies, they were very happy and chatty. They obviously were having a great time, apart from walking into the Raffles Hotel, they need to work on their PR. People remember the negative rather than the positives.
I enjoy your humor. Stay just the way you are. Love your videos.
Another great video John. Thanks from a sunny, windy Northumberland.
Conversations are nice. Different people, different places, different perspectives.
Afternoon John great video again thank you ❤
I find your interaction with the people interesting !😎🌻😎
That keft box is also what I call "the ghost box".
I enjoyed your conversations with Jersey Jen and her friend..lol. I'm American too.. I liked their vibes I could be friends with them...hahahaha
Good afternoon John. As usual a fantastic video. I noticed that Sanguine is a gelding. Not sure if that’s how it’s spelled. The unknown horse is a really chilled guy. Wonderful to see Monty and Shackleton ❤❤
What a lovely pair of ladies ❤
Good mid-morning John! Looks like a nice sunny day there! Sunny here too for a change! Hope you have a great day!❤🇱🇷🇱🇷
Morning from Australia 🦘
I seen on News another knife attack over in Aus, this time on a Bishop.
Nice hearing you chatting with ladies from the USA :)
I love the walks to HG as I am learning so much about the area where the HG is situated geographically as well as historically.
GM, John+horses🐎🐴❤
Watching from Southern Ontario, Canada. I imagine that the horses would go through a lot of training and practice exposure to what they may encounter when they are around crowds like this. Most likely some take to crowds better than others. Just like humans do. Thank you very much John for your commentary. It’s been very educational. I’ll be sure to research expected etiquette for planned destinations before travelling.
You’re welcome, john. Love watching your channel. Thank for sharing and showing the latest update in the Household Cavalry
They removed trash bins for safety so explosives couldn't be dropped in them.
Afternoon John! Thats nice that for once its not a loud annoying protest,but something to remember the heroes and all that they do! Also what was up with that guy putting those 2 little kids there like that? Crazy how someone cant figure out putting children in front of large animals is not a good idea.
That Lady Police Officer seems lovely. Thank you once again John, for a very enjoyable video.
Afternoon John.. ...nice they have a memorial for the guards... see what happens..still rude stilly people as normal...have fun...saw you earlier before you came on
Was not just service. The Duke of Kent retired as Colonel, replaced with the Duke of Edinburgh.
Another interesting watch John. Thank you: Kiwi
Hi John Beautiful warm sunny in Atlanta, Georgia today. Enjoy all your videos with those wonderful horses.
If you go to Babbel, John, you can learn conversational French and Spanish there. I hope this helps you out, my friend. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
Oh John, 😅thankyou so much for all your time and effort in recording and posting these videos. The Troopers are simply magnificent and the horses coats shine.
Yes we Canadians are very friendly, I’d enjoy having a conversation with you…you always make me laugh as I get the British humour lol.😊
Goodmorning John from Oklahoma
Good morning John ❤ have a blessed day
Beautiful Bullseye and Yeoman 😍. Now they don't just go clip clop it's CLIP CLOP !!! Don't get in the way of those hooves when they're on crowd control 😂😂😂. I wonder how lovely Brutus is coming along I hope we get the chance to meet him again . I enjoyed your chat with the two lovely American ladies , so nice when it's quiet you get to talk to people . Well done ladies looking for a " trash can " so many simply drop their rubbish on the ground ! Poor Big Boy , no one knew who he was 😂😂😂. " Unknown " horse a big softy he thoroughly enjoyed the scratch from the girl and turned her into a human scratching post with his head 😋. Hope you've had a good day today John , swotting up on the languages perhaps ? 😀
🥰🥰🥰@Bullseye and Yeoman, too! But I'm also a fan of Zodiac, it's such an interesting yet peculiar name for a horse, as far as I'm concerned, hah. He's very beautiful, he looks like he's got an entire set of constellations painted on him. Brutus is definitely the best, i also hope we're going to see him again. We've first and last seen him a month and a half ago, i think it was March 1st, his first day of work.
As always , superb video 😀 Best Wishes 😎
What a pair! I like them, they tell it like it is. American though I am, I can't think of anything in New York I would like to see, beyond Belmont Park, Aqueduct, Roosevelt Raceway, the 9-11 Memorial. The rest, yuck. But, since I'm an old style Texan, the western part of the country is my bailiwick.
The horse and the guard enjoyed those young ladies loving on his horse.
Perhaps you could ask to go to the Stable for the police like where Bullseye is stabled. Do a video on them.
Oh dear John never mind, you wouldn’t want to live there anyway, think of the noise especially the police sirens
Sangin did well to stick it to the end.
There are so many men around these horses & in this profession that its still somewhat of a novelty to see a female in this position. This can be & is a positive thing. After being handled one way when female officers come in & think differently & have a different touch the horse will be like "who dat" lol😊 . Or it gets their attention maybe. It's absolutely wonderful to see the female Troopers among the ranks!!
Truly enjoy your channel ! Perhaps the Horses need off duty Spring Break to frolic in Pasture ..! LOL !..Luckily no Karens and Rude people today...I'm a New Jersey American living in Northwest England, sadly NYC, Philly is destroyed...However suburban areas are beauitful-clean & safe...
34:58 No need to apologise, the chat with the two Americans was pretty interesting.
Bleege means pale in Frisian. So the person was saying that the person standing next to the horse was pale. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn
Another beautiful day
I love Monty, absolutely my favourite.
I agree with you, I find your conversations with tourists absolutely fascinating. Their outlooks are so different to ours. I get frustrated when I can't hear what others are saying. Think I'm just a nosy piece!😅
It is nice to hear the tourists opinion about their visit, although I did start to feel sick with her swaying back and forth and then her friend joined in lol
What a lovely little horse. 🐴🌷🌱
I truly admire the lady trooper called "Karen slayer". She is remarkable and I love watching her.
50:49 horsey really enjoying that scratch LOL so funny yet so adorable
Canadians are cordial and friendly beyond measure. It is absolutely one of my favorite places to visit. From one coast to another, you just don't run into rough, rude, or haughty people. From an American with tremendous respect for Canada, regards, MP.
IF THEASE PEOPLE GO OVER THERE THEY WILL BE LOCKER UP AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT THEN THEY WANT TO COME BACK HERE.
Hello from South Ga!🤓🦋🇺🇸. Looks like you are having a sunny day today. Another great walk. P. S. Georgia where I live is not like the two women from Boston and Philadelphia said there town is. Atlanta is like Boston and Philadelphia is, But the further you go south it gets better around Macon and further south. We live a hour and a half from Florida. Thank you!!
Back...to front viewed pt 2 first. Why couldn't the inspection be performed in the tiltyard? What a great shot of the tunnel devoid of the maddening crowds. Spooky... the left box. Thanks John. kiwi 😃
Good evening John hope your well this Monday evening and have had a good day xxx
Thank you very much John. Another magnificent video. Thanking you xxxx
Don,t blame the horse too many people ,guard doing good job with her.
I enjoy your ad hoc chats with tourists from around the globe. It’s refreshing to hear other people’s perspective in a normal conversation. Please keep doing it !!!❤
Nice to see someone from Massachusetts. Hey, from another New England.
Haha you’re the New England we are the original England. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
John....look into Rosetta Stone lifetime membership....I am working on my 4th language...not exactly fluent but can hold a basic conversation
afternoon john its windy here also its raining too
Don’t worry John plenty of us do appreciate your sense of humour! don’t stop - haven’t heared you use the T word lately? Hope you haven’t been got at?🤭
Nice chat today.
That horse aggressively rubbing on that young girl was a super cringy moment for real horse savy people. I seen the stern, intense look on the guard too. Although everyone thought it was a cute funny moment. If you really know & understand horses, it was anything but that... I seen a horse with a bit on, not even as aggressive as this one on this horse, sling it's head & ripped open a young girl's face. She had 3 plastic surgeries after the initial 100 stitches, pain & psychological stuff that went along with it. If that had been my daughter or grand daughter I'd have immediately stopped that.... I've been around horses all my life. Done all kinds of different equine disciplines. Horses are very dangerous, if nothing else, their size alone makes them dangerous. People that know very little about horses should never be around them. Period.
He wasn’t being “aggressive”. He was just scratching. He had no intention to cause harm. And accidents like you talk about happen…….anyone with a brain can see that a horse has a large head and if it hits you it’ll hurt. Also the bit isn’t “aggressive” either. You cant tell anything about it from the cheek pieces. You seem very fond of calling things that aren’t, aggressive. Yes horses can be dangerous but so can anything, including crossing the road, or driving a car. And you’re not the only one who has horse experience, but I’ll bet very few of those who do saw that interaction in quite such alarmist terms as you.
Thank you for your videos. I believe I am almost done watching all your older videos. What did I count 5, maybe 6 KZheads recording today
