UK: CAVALRYMAN THROWN FROM HORSE DURING QUEENS PARADE
(1 Dec 1998) Natural Sound
A cavalryman escorting Queen Elizabeth II and German President Roman Herzog to Windsor Castle was seriously hurt on Tuesday when he was thrown from his horse.
It was the first day of Herzog's four-day state visit to Britain.
At Windsor Castle, Herzog viewed a giant handmade gilded orb and cross created by British craftsmen for the people of Dresden.
German President Roman Herzog kicked off a four-day state visit at Windsor Castle on Tuesday.
But before he reached the gates of Windsor Castle, a cavalryman escorting the carriages was thrown from his horse when it reared.
The rider, who was wearing a heavy breastplate and armour fell on a sanded road in front of the queen's carriage.
He was taken to a local hospital with shoulder and spine injuries.
Herzog and his wife, Christiane, are the first to be entertained by Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle since fire ripped through it in 1992, destroying some of its historic sections.
The last state visit by a German president was in July 1986 by President Richard von Weizsacker.
The queen last paid a state visit to Germany in 1992.
Herzog viewed a giant handmade gilded orb and cross created by British craftsmen for the people of Dresden as a symbol of friendship and reconciliation over World War II.
The 18-foot (5.5- metre) orb and cross is a replica of the ornament that once graced the skyline of Dresden atop the Baroque Frauenkirche.
The original was destroyed when the church was reduced to rubble in a two-day Anglo-American bomb raid on the city during World War II.
The 1.5 ton copper and stainless steel creation was made by hand.
It was commissioned by the Dresden Trust, a group of people in Britain who raised around 300-thousand pounds (495-thousand U-S dollar) from individuals, charities and companies across the country.

As a remember from the news bulletins, the rider was discharged from hospital a few days later with soft tissue injuries to his back and a fractured collar bone. The horse was spooked by a camera flash from the crowd. The flash temporarily blinded the horse and it panicked. Horses are flight animals, and will try to run if frightened. All credit to the mounted police officers who caught the animal before anyone else got hurt
Frances Sweeney Bloody, idiot people treating animals like machines. So glad horse and rider are alright.
Not all right; he must suffer with collar bone pain for the rest of his life, Angela.
don't think so I have broken both my collar bones and one collar bone the bone went through my skin, but I suffer from no pain.
well i never knew that!!!!!
How did all the horses charge into battles? For thousands of years, the horses were the tanks.
As an owner and breeder of horses, no matter how well rehearsed and trained horses are they are still a fright and flight animal.
Unfortunately members of the crowd can't always be relied upon to be sensible around horses. Too many people pawing at the horse. The police officer in the crowd was trying to back them off, but it was too late. That was the end of that troopers career. The horse was fine.
@@gunner678 do you know if they have initiated any reforms to require helmets
@@awnutz they don't go over the horses ears, but the horse was fine. The helmet is the helmet I'm afraid.
As the owner of a fully functional brain I knew that too !
@farley boo you obviously have never been around horses much less wild horses.
It's no disgrace. These things do happen. Hope he recovered well.
Many good cavalry men died of falling yup.
@@annychest718 proof or stfu
@@check7469 the horse literally falled on him.
And if you fall in a bad position you could actually die
No it's a disgrace thousands off pounds to keep these horses and feed them not to mention the so called shiny boys on them put to them to some real use ..... soldier ing these animals are better fed and housed than the homeless and less fortunate in this country it's a disgrace only a matter of time now that family event even hold a marriage together they get into more bother than the local by street hoodlums the modern world don't require them ..🤔😂👎

@@britbyname3620name So you think it was wrong for the SJAB to follow the procedure used by all ambulance personnel and stop the patient moving whilst performing a spinal assessment?

I genuinely give up trying to understand the KZhead algorithm, but nice to see you all five years later...
Same here
Lol
IainM I was just thinking the same thing, 6 years later actually.
Too funny
😂😂
I remember when I was with st John Ambulance a guard fainted and was carried to our First aid post Princess Ann came to check on him such a lovely woman.
Princess Ann is wonderful
I have heard from other ex staff that Princess Anne is the most down-to-earth of all the royals. Philip and Andrew are the nastiest.

0:22 quick response from the Rolls Royce driver here to accelerate away
I think it just went up a slight incline. Don't think the driver would be looking back like that to have noticed.
There was clearly a bump in the road, but the driver did speed up. The horse started rearing for the driver to clearly see.
I know if I had a Rolls I would hire him.
I thought the cavalryman was going to get crushed between the horse and the car.
Accelerate away, is exactly what the security training tells them to do, in such a commotion. It's done in case the incident was a diversion for a plot of some other kind, e.g. kidnapping, assassination... etc.
0:28 love how the horse tries to casually slope off like 'ah shit I'm in trouble now'

Yes indeed you are
Haha! It did too. Cheeky bugger
@@ChiefHerzensCoach me too

Thank you to the people who know horses for the explanations of the event. Glad the Guardsman is doing well.
he "was seriously hurt on Tuesday when he was thrown from his horse." HE IS NOT DOING WELL.
@@leahnyb6878 this was years ago, he got discharged from the hospital with the injuries i listed earlier on another comment your replied to. he’s most probably doing quite well now.
This was in 1998 my dear.
What about the HORSE THAT LIZ THE LOOTER ENSLAVED????????? the royal TYRANTS ,
Camera flashes blind horses for a second. I’m still amazed how this animals can handle with grace crowds of people with flashes everywhere.
They are trained to put up with distractions, just like the mounted police horses are trained to put up with a riot.
That’s why the horses use blinkers 😜
@@moek4361 nonsense! They just go in the recreational circuit. So some horse besotted girl get's an A class horse!
I love how the first car speeds up so that it wont get hit by the horse.
No, so the horse won’t get hit by the car....that kind of car hit by a horse can be mended, but an out of control horse and rider who hit a car could be killed. The rider had serious shoulder and spine injuries from hitting the sand with a horse on top of him, but if they’d come down on the moving car, the injuries would very likely be much worse.
@@voraciousreader3341 I agree, but in this situation where everything happens in seconds, the driver would've thought to speed up so that the horse wouldn't fall back to the car. Also, horses easily weigh about 900-2000 pounds, so if the horse would've fallen back to the car, there would have been some glass cracks of some sort(if the glass wasn't bulletproof, then it would most certainly break and possibly injure the VIPs in the car). It'd be still bad for both parties if the horse actually fell back on the car so kudos to the driver.
I guess the queen did not care that rider just 🐎
@@farscape319 Was the Queen aware of the incident at or near the time when it happened? Did the Queen make her own enquiries once she was made aware of the incident? Or are such questions unnecessary?
@@jonh9561 Are such silly processions necessary?
Glad to hear the injured guardsman is doing better and was released from the hospital. That fall looked very scary.
It was 7 years ago
@@florrie8767 no actually, this happened in december 1998 so its 24 years ago
Horse fell right on top of him. I hope he's alright, and the horse, too.
respect to the guardsman lining the street who left his position to help him
Lol the one that ran over to pick up the sword and helmet and never actually helped? Because that’s all he did and when he bent down at the end was grabbing the all the ceremonial gear off him as to not lose or damage it. That’s what the officer walked over and instructed him to do. Lol safe the artifacts.
Goodness, what a scary turn of events! However, there is no shame in what happened as even the most well-trained horse can be spooked if the conditions are right. I'm so glad that the guard was able to recover and heal and that the horse was not injured.
Glad he’s ok I thought the horse did well staying put after that happened
The way the horse reacted once it fell and got up reminds me of how I feel when I accidentally step on my dog's foot. I really wish people would turn their camera flash off when around horses, even the well trained ones can get spooked, especially so close.
@@G1NZOU Yes! There is a reason why I basically check every phone and camera to not have their flashes on when I take people with me to the stables. My mother has a very bad habit of leaving hers on, so now I only allow her to take her phone and constantly keep an eye for a slipping flash! I don't have a pal to film me during my lessons or to take pictures, so usually my parents (who come with me either way so it just makes sense to use them) are left for the job. Luckily my father never uses his flashlight anyway, nevertheless the flash so everything is safe. A bonus of dragging them along is that I have two trained medical professionals with us if we need to respond to an emergency. (Has already happened)
horses are always like "wait, what happened? you were up there and now you're down there..."
i did not know this had occurred and i am pleased that both the guardsman and his horse were recovered and ok after a bit of time.
Even the horse turned around on its own to say sorry brother i got scared.
The horse came back to the rider.
@@homeboy2166 The horse tried SO hard not to fall.
Yes and it was Dr Doolittle riding it 😂😂😂 that's what happens when you take wild animals and try to tame them 🏇🏇🏇🏇🤔🤕👎 it's cruelty to have them standing on parades for long periods of time should be banned 🚫
@@tonytotten408 Wild animals? Horses are not wild they are domesticated and have been for thousands of years, the horse was frightened by a camera flash that simple
So sweet the way this beautiful horse, moved away from it's rider after the fall. Being so careful not to step on him.
Horses, unlike cattle, will always avoid stepping on people if possible.
Horses will do anything to not step on humans....only in rare occasions...horseracing, if they have on blinkers
Gayle Baker. Horses seem to be very aware of their own strength, and compensate for it, by being very gentle. I've always loved them.
Laura Howard. Yes, only if they can't avoid trampling on people. They are gentle by nature, and I don't think they would ever deliberately hurt anyone.
My fucking days the weight drop on this poor man must have fucked him up real bad
This was my brother inlaw and he was fine fractured shoulder and was a bit bruised after a horse falls on ya it kinda happens lol but he was all good! Horses get spooked from time to time it happens there animals!

I really want to try horse riding but this sort of thing puts me off. So scary!
@@amyk9813 Don't let it put you off. Accidents happen just like any other- car accidents etc. Riding for pleasure on a gentle horse in the calmer circumstances result in much fewer accidents like this.
The horse was looking at the rider as he backed away...I think the horse knew he fell on the rider, the horse got off the rider as fast as he could. Very scary accident I was holding my breath omg glad they both survived.
My Uncle owned a Ranch in Colorado . He said if I fall off my horse make a sound like a carrot and it will come right back.
Could you describe to us the call of the carrot? 😉

That horse handled the situation well. He spooked and reared up too high, his legs too far under his haunches and lost the ability to regain balance and fell backwards. but got back up and stayed with rider..
The rider also pulled back on the reins and did not lean far forward. That may have helped him not fall over, but glad he's okay regardless.
Unfortunately lost balance because the rider was pulling his mouth (not blaming him, it happened so fast). Always always grab your horse around the neck if it’s rising up to help keep balance.
@@takeachillpill4732 I don't know 2hat you mean who r.u please
Who r u

The same thing happen to my partner. Our horse was part Andalusian and did rear up alot but this time he kept coming and fell completely back with him still holding the reins and pommel of the saddle. Always said take both feet out of stirrups when dismounting but he was trying and still had left foot in. He broke his back but luckily was out of hospital in 11 days in a brace. Can happen anytime.
when a horse is napping, or backing up, or showing any prep signs for rearing -- both feet out of the stirrups asap, and dismount. Difficult with that outfit on though.
had a broken collar bone from a horse fall. no fun. damn camera flash. those horses are pretty bomb proof, dumb spectator!!!!!!
Was it you that fell of this horse
Oh shit, it might’ve been, Sarah
@@sarahrichards3909 his grandfather
Exactly. Ruined the trooper's career.
The horse fell on him
Oh dear God! That almost had me in tears.
He did not fall off. The horse fell over on top of him.
Poor poor lad it’s seems obvious something was wrong in the first place as he was on the side but then just reared and spooked, a freak accident at the wrong time I hope you heal quickly so sorry xx
could have been so much worse, as the horse fell over. If the majority of his weight had landed on his rider, could've killed him.
Omg that Pinocchio scream at 0:21 😂
I find it curious, if not also telling, that although the horses were all in Groups, this one wasn’t with other horses but off to the side being HELD BY two officers on both side of the fence Before the car went by! There was no camera flash. Three people were pulled away when the horse pulled his neck up before his feet moved. I conclude that the horse was taken out of line for some reason BEFORE anything “happened”
Smart Horse detected EVIL
Horses just like Humans .The majority will be slaves or be BRAINWASHED . Spotting a demon is a gift .Did you ever read the book 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell ? Educate your mind and free your soul. You are not focused on the royal majesty's TRICKS. GOOD LUCK!
That must've hurt like hell and I hope he is ok.
Yes the horse was spooked delighted to hear the guardsman is ok
Spooked by the 'DEAD DEMON'
I've taken some falls but I can't imagine doing it with plate armor on. Glad he's ok.
Ganster Liz is responsible for this SHIT
And that's why you don't reach over the fence to pet horses that are not yours and are doing a job.
lorry geewhizzbang it was a police officer trying to hold it to prevent it from doing any damage

Mate, you're wrong. He was securing the sword n helmet to protect it
It is his duty to ensure the safety of the people and the injured man. He looks to be leaving his post but it was a emergency so no trouble for him. The other guardsman who is sergeant - major according to his red salsh went over to talk to the guardsman and he sorted everything out. The car behind was the Queen's car but it was empty so no delay there, the car was there in case something wrong with her carraige.
@@carolley9705 Yep, both the sword and helmet not belonged to cavalryman, they belonged to the army. Both guardsman and cavalryman were part of the British army. He did it for safety reason too and protect them from theft.
0:20, if you slow it down you can see someone from the crowd in a green coat reach out to grab the horse
@@DavBlc7 True in first aid training they do teach you to clear the area around the casualty from hazards, and a sword definitely counts. Pretty sure Real Redcoat was joking though.
I pray he is well. 🙏☝️👍
Keep praying please.
It was 28 years ago, he's fine.
I pray the British never give up their traditions.
You can see that a member of the public have grabbed the bridle and frighted the horse but then hung on when the horse pulled back and that's why the horse went over.
You are the only one to get the cause right! It wasnt a camera flash !
The young guardsman lining the road and his what looks to be CSM? both did a great job, the young chap went straight to his aid and the senior NCO was quick getting there too to look at his man and good of him to let the lad stay too, very understanding and a great leader.
Yes Euan, I first saw his pace stick, then I backed up a bit and he has his Warrant on his right sleeve. A CSM indeed.
The horse is a dissident republican
Poor Guy! Hope he is OK. A curious bunch, the British, always committed to duty, and willing to expend the body in the pursuit thereof. Hail Britannia
tom a hailstones only
The Calvary man's breastplate armour probably saved him from worse injuries or death there horses are massive.a friend of mine was in the regiment with the Busby hats but his brother Martin was in the household cavalry they were a GRT couple of lads Howard and Martin greenhough.. they'd take the Michael out of each regiment bit of banter...The replica of the orb that stood on Dresden's cathedral just beautiful what a magnificent cathedral that must of been...hope the Calvary man was ok no life changing injuries...🙏🇬🇧🇩🇪..

Oh that was horrible to watch!! Hope he was ok, my stomach turned 💓
I hope this guy is ok and has a swift recovery!
This literally happened in 1998
Kings died falling from horses, this guys lucky
Landed on his back! It says he was seriously hurt and taken to hospital with shoulder and back injuries. It doesn't say how well he recovered - fully I hope.
The guards' horses are amazingly tolerant, but every now and then a flash from a camera sends them off. It must have been very close to his face. On a grey day, photographing a black horse, the flashes go off continuously. There are also an amazing number of idiots who think that it is OK to grab the horse by either the side of its bridle or by one of the reins. If the person here who appeared to be holding on when the horse reared, had pulled the bit into the horses mouth, then the horse is likely to react as it did.
Have seen the horses in Windsor...never thought they were that bomb proof...lots of incidents over the years
I came to this video via google who not only completely failed to answer my question, but who also showed a photo of a foot guard officer fighting to stay on his horse, and labelled it as a Cavalryman. No wonder people have no clue about the different regiments.
Someone was pulling on the reins of that horse through the gate! And that made it jump back..
Poor guy, he now owns the platoon a bottle of whisky :)
And that's why they ask you not to shout, make fun etc.
Bravo,hai fatto bene!!!!
Good thing that both the rider & horse are okay....as an amateur rider myself, I fell & landed on my back, but thank God, nothing was broken...I can’t quite comprehend the use of flash for day time photography though...
I hope he was ok
Literally very annoying when everyone starts screaming around them -_-
Jeanette Vasko well they scared
clearly never been around horses luckily it was mainly just local Brits and German visitors in attendance. Tourists from 'certain' nations treat the royal guards as Disneyland characters and probably have deliberately tried to spook the horse laugh at the poor injured soldier.
It's a funeral procession, not a "PARADE", you'd think the news folk would get that right...

Have to say I was very glad to see the horse was un-injured. When horses fall, especially loaded with some human, they can be so badly hurt that they must be put down.

It looks to me that the horse when falling landed on this poor guy, thats about 1100 lbs. landing on you. I hope he recovers fully. Maybe the Queen will visit him and sign his autograph book, what a thrill.
Did I see that right, was it someone in the crowd trying to pat the horse that startled it? Looks like it.
Yeah, they say it was a camera flash, but it looked to me that someone took hold of his bridle...
I don’t see any camera flash but after playing it back at a slow speed the horse’s rear seems to come before the crowd reaches for its head. Hard to say though as the footage is old and angle isn’t very good

For the lady who said too many horses at one time: it was and always has been the people that cause accidents, the horses are used to being in large haras’, you can see the person wage a hand at the horse, most likely to pat it

That woman saying there's too many horses together...definitely not spooked the horse...horses are herd animals...they're used to being in big groups
Sure hope horse and rider were ok 💕
I am glad that the Guardsmen helped him. The rest just stood their.
