As a citizen of the USA I’m always so embarrassed when anyone from the US doesn’t do their homework when visiting another country; then break the rules and make us appear ignorant.
G’day again, John. I loved the horse to tourist nudge & rubs @ 3:36 & again @ 4:26. The disregard of the “no touch” sign is infuriating. I wonder why the guard does not say something, especially after the USA couple were so blatant. I really would like to see the guards speak out to the ones who violate the rules, as they did when folks would grab the reins. Thanks for this and all your videos, Sir.
I agree they do make us look ignorant when we aren't just some are and need to be put in their places when they return to the US
Eles não estão errados, se aproveitaram da lerdeza e irresponsabilidade do guarda e fizeram o que queriam. Existem leis, regras a serem seguidas mas se o dono da casa não liga , por que irão ligar? O animal já estava ficando estressado mas o responsável por ele nem se importou.
Donald Trump always excelled at that. 🤡 no matter where he was!
Keep politics out of this ! Not the place for rudeness !
Well they're certainly an embarrassment to the rest of us Americans.
Please don't think we're all like them.
Don't worry...most of us see that American tourists are generally some of the most polite people that visit Horseguards.
What a silly stupid woman..READ ????
Blame it on her LACK of education, poor lady obviously can't read.
We apologize from America for such rudeness! She just thinks she is so entitled and she is not! Hate that the horseman did not yell at her! She deserved getting yelled at and a large fine for breaking the rules! What an embarrassment she is to our country! Again, so very sorry! Sadly, in America it is the upper class that think they are entitled to do as they damn please! Middle class is so much better!
Thank give am middle class and have grown up with less but not poor.I believe people that dont have enough but they make do they have manners and help out others in.I have been around long enough ,not all but many people with money did feel they are entitled sorry to say.
If they are American they can read English and understand the picture of no touch
lol... thats the problem...its English not American....lol (please note: sarcasm ;) )
Would one expect a police dog on duty to be friendly? Why would one expect a horse on duty to be friendly?
only if the tourists realize these are soldiers in ceremonial dress with their military mounts performing a military duty - you can tell a police dog on duty and made aware of that fact by the officer handling it not to approach or touch it - something that has been lacking at Horse Guards for some time and now in the process of correction - the sooner the better imho
I agree, a "no touching" sign on each side of the boxes would help.
Both signs on Both sides of the sentry boxes and enforced across the board!
@battles146 yes, it's really not fair to the tourists--haha-or the horses. The Troopers need to figure this out for themselves.
To be honest the servicemen deserve all the negative press they get for not following the rules they put into place. I am sick to death of it. People are standing too close to the horses. As I have said before, if a horse can reach them THEY ARE TO CLOSE.
They are soldiers following orders, not giving orders, doing what they’ve been told probably
@@annegiorgio5602
I cannot believe any service orders would be so inconsistent. It just would not happen.
Get a grip please servicemen.
@@SarahDilloway-Olner good for you
Hi John! We’ve come a long way in the two weeks since this video was filmed! The tourists are following the signs instructions, the Guards are more vocal about correcting the tourists and the horses are more relaxed. By the way, the United States doesn’t want to claim those 2 tourists. The woman was obnoxious, rude, and ignorant. Anyone else want them? 😳😂
Love & appreciation from Royal Oak Michigan USA
♥️🇺🇸🐴🇬🇧♥️
Harry and Meaghan might like them😅
As a respectful American I would like to apologize for the ignorant American tourist. Someone has to they won't apologize for the ignorance
Please don't feel bad. In my experience , and I have met many, they are unfailingly polite..just one or two spoil it for all.
What is wrong with the Guards? They are to shout don't touch the horse. They are to enforce the signs rule. It is their duty.
The guard didn't do that, he made me angry as well, he let that lady pat that horse 16:46 then come back with her husband and maul it again at 19:38, he didn't tell her to not touch the horse, he just let it happen.
I can't even watch it because I'm getting so upset they aren't protecting their space.
They need signs on both sides of the boxes, and all the guards need to tell tourists off if they touch the horse.
Why do some troopers say don't touch the horse? And others say nothing.
Sometimes it depends upon the horse, Ormonde and Arnie are known for nipping and biting ,other horses may have a very calm disposition and they allow a child or disabled person to touch the horse but they may not allow others who may be on a very aggressive horse with their touch..If the horse wants to be touched they will let you know by putting their head on your shoulder, arm,hands.
It is at the Troopers discretion
Thank you John for the extra video. Just so everyone knows that this was filmed on the 10th. Things are much better now. Guards are speaking up. There will always be some idiots that don’t care. No one should ever criticize the guards as John said in his last video. We have no idea what the troopers have been told. 😊
Thanks Lynn 😊
we've always be able to voice our concerns and opinions on John's channel - John is well known and well respected at Horse Guards and elsewhere due to his many years of involvement in his country and the London area in particular - the 'powers that be' are quite aware of the comments of concern made by a number of us over the past several years, as we SEE what's happening (or not) when we watch his videos - yes it is getting better, consistency in following Rules is absolutely necessary for success - otherwise their military involvements wouldn't have been as successful as history tells us -
J̌ohn forgive my ignorance but aren't the mounted troopers allowed to correct the touchy tourists?
This was filmed on Aug 10, 2024. It has become much better since then. 😊
I understand it is at the Troopers discretion
Don’t wake them. They are sleeping.
What's the sword for?
@PamelaMacmillan-pc4rx Ceremonies but if there was an attack, the sword would be used for defense since the troopers don't carry guns while mounted on gate duty.
There are two signs, one more clearer than the other, that states Don't Touch The Horses! Not only should the tourists obey, but the Guards should as well! Otherwise, what's the sense of having these signs up at all?
It's at the individual Troopers discretion
Why are they not consistent with the signs and not touching the horse? Terrible
Not a word said if the guard is not going to say anything what hope for his horse.
The guard annoys me as much as the person touching the horses
He's another soldier that never stops the horse being touched talk about mixed messages
The trooper should be reprimanded for not protecting his horse and following the rules
This was films on the 10th. They are much better now.
Yes he should and I’ve been texting that. Makes me mad to see it.
It is at the Troopers discretion
I agree. If they cannot be bothered to enforce it ..what's the point? Or remind them they must say something..
@@hoolahoop3137who said??
It's driving me mad that the guard doesn't tell them to get off the horse. Why do some guards tell them and some guards don't? Surely it should be compulsory that they tell the ignorant tourists.
You would think. It’s so frustrating seeing the inconsistency. 😩
From MOD , London District and HCav it's at the Troopers discretion ! As this was filmed on the 10th things have moved on , but as John has said none of us know what orders have been given directly .
When the guards let them touch, I am done with that guard bye!
That trooper who allowed horse touching was certainly in a relaxed mode with holding of their sword
If the troopers don't care, why should we. Tourists understandably get attitude "if they can, why can't I?"
Will ramp back up to constant touching, horse, guard, guard's saddle, guard's boots, someone gets hurt, bitten again.........oh well.
FINALLY!!! Consistent enforcement of the new rule. Yes, kiddos will be disappointed but life is full of disappointment. This video was a true joy to watch. I was about to give up. You don’t have to shout to get compliance. Congratulations on 80K subscribers. I love your commentary. Blessings.
In the case of the Chinese/Korean tourist petting the horse, to be fair the horse was nudging her first. I think perhaps that is why the trooper didn’t say anything. When she put her arm around its head, he pulled the reins away. This horse is lovely- sets his own limits. I apologize on the behalf of Americans for ignorant tourists such as the ones displayed later in the video. So embarrassing. By the way, I predict 100k before Christmas. Congratulations on 80k. Well earned! 😊
Both guards need to be spoken to about the rules. My GOD! Why does this irritate me? Also, all of the tourists are being rude touching the horse! Not just the Americans. Just saying. The guards are failing at their jobs in enforcing the rules.
It's at the individual Troopers discretion
Check the date that is always indicated in the fully expanded Description. Filmed two weeks ago. It's better now. But as hoolahoop said, (and John) it is still at the troopers discretion.
TheTroopers of the Blues and Royals would not put up with it - my opinion
John, the gatesman only comes when the sword is straight up. A nod means he is ok. 💋
Thank you, Andrea, I learned something new today! Greetings from Michigan USA 🫶🏼
They should all tell them for touching it sends mixed messages to tourists
People touching the horse is way more annoying now there are 2 signs and the fact that the guards aren’t upholding the rules is driving me crazy
Even if someone stands at the side where there isn't a sign doesn't necessarily mean they can't see it. They only need to be 1 or 2 feet in front of the horse to see both sides.
I saw the horse reading the Don't Touch sign a lovely day for all and a fun video. Well done, John 🎉 ❤ Sue
John from your videos of the lifeguards return this weekend, it looks like higher up authorities had a word with lifeguards and they have upped their game. There have been plenty of shouts and tourists given a ticking off for touching the horse from the lifeguards which has been great to see.
I think the horses are alot calmer when no one is mauling them.
As you know John. It's the entitlement of the person. 'They' feel superior to us good folk and therefore do as 'they' please.
This horse is stamping his feet as he wants polos, where's all the polo's gone? ❤❤😊😊
If the guard's not going to say anything to the ignorant tourists about touching the horse, then next time someone gets bitten and starts screaming, shouting and limping away as if they're badly wounded, pretty poor acting in other words, then it's their own stupid fault..these guards are not doing anything about people touching the horse..just as well rip the signs off the wall and just let everyone get on with it..🤬🤬🤬🤬
It's at the individual guards discretion
The horse was working hard than the guard to keep people away. This has become far more ornamental than security. You can’t have both.
Should put the no touching sign up high on the other side. It will be visible from both sides and not blocked by people getting photos.
The signs should be on both sides of the box! But they still won’t read or see them!
I can tell you right now she's a realtor (Estate Agent) and hes an Attorney from Los Angeles. I'd bet money on it. Keep up the good work John, I watch every day.
They think they are elite to everyone!!
Congratulations on reaching 80k
I’ve learned so much about horses by watching your videos John -they are beautiful animals with so much intelligence and playfulness - the have great sensitivity toward the disabled
I don't understand why they don't put the signs on both sides of each horse.
It's up to the guard. If they don't enforce then what is the use?
I understand it is up to the individual guards discretion
This oblivious, constant barging in front of others waiting to be photographed.
What’s the point if the Guards won’t say or do anything about touching the horses?
Why didn't the Guard STOP THEM. TOO MANY grabbers. Honestly.
The guard in the right box is the same one that let the horse bite
Those unpolished folks over at the other side of the pond are notably known to be illiterates of the Queen's English.
Why do grown ups put their kids next to horse & men their wives by them! It is nice to see the horses & guards calm!!
Good day John as Tourists they dont seem to care about regulations or rules and therefore give the Police plus Guards a hard time
Hello John, have a pleasant day❤😊🎉
A sign needs to put up both sides and also the trooper should have told her NO!
I have been out for a while with sickness! What happen with the US people? I am from the great U.S. & respect all people & animals! Was this on a video! Where would I it?
I’ve seen this couple do this a couple of weeks ago, exact same clothing. I presume you are looking through your previous footage?
Good eye, Alibi. If you go to the Title of John’s videos, click on “more” in the description, then “more” again. Scroll down and you’ll see the date John filmed. This one is 10.08.2024 (08.10.2024) 😊 John ALWAYS indicates the date the video was shot!
Alguns soldados deviam aprender com o soldado de barba ruiva como se deve agir para proteger.o cavalo desses turistas idiotas.Parabéns soldado ruivo .Você é o melhor.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Saudações do Brasil
They are going to have to put signs on both sides and on the ground. I dont understand how this same place has had tourists for years and now people are being so bad.
They need the signs on both sides of the doorway!
I think this guard just doesn’t like to tell them to bugger off!
This woman cunning was to get her picture. In doing so she made a laugh of the rules & made the guard look silly.
I think that the new sign should be on the other side of the horse and higher up above people's heads for people to read!
I have been out for a while with sickness! What happen with the US people? I am from the great U.S. & respect all people & animals! Was this on a video! Where would I find it?
Live your channel John! Keep going 👏👏👏👏👏💜💜👍👍🙏🙏💕♥️💜😂😂🤪
Ummm when they stop allowing people to touch the horses? 🧐
Seems if the horse seeks attention from the tourists, the Guard allows it. Not all the horses enjoy being and pet.
I love watching most dads! It remains no secret moms are used to chasing down, catching and organizing the family but so many dads look like they are lost and seeking permission. Time for more activities as families instead of work till you die. What a dream
All these tourists ,milling about, pathetic.
Wish the troops would enforce it…
18.42 You can tell what the horse is thinking, along the lines of ''where's my [treat of choice], hand it over instead of talking''
I am wondering why they don't have a no touch sign on both sides of the arch? That could help cut down on folks touching the horses.
Perhaps the troopers/horse guards haven't been instructed by threir CO to correct the (idiot) tourists not to touch the horses yet.🤔
I don't get why some of the guards allow the touching, this sends mixed messages to the public. The signs are a waste if the guards don't take on the responsibility of enforcing the rules.
Horses seem mellower since the no touching but they all need to be enforced by all life guards
American cowboys are not afraid of horses!
Speak up Sir! Why let her get away with touching the horse? Grrrr! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
What is the point of having signs of they aren't going to enforce the rule. It kinda makes them look weak. That's not a good look to the tourist, and the world.
Those horses initially looks like they want to interact with the people around them on their own terms. The tourists seem to be a lot better behaved in as much as there’s no crowding round, they seem to be keeping their distance. But how do you stop the horse who wants to interact from interacting?
They should have signs on both sides of the wall
Isn't the policeman/policewomans jobto protect all the military personnel including the horses who are on duty and make the tourists obey the rules. Otherwise what is their job?
They should have the sign on the other side too. Maybe people can't see it.
the guard needed to say something. stupid. those people knew better. arrogant and ignorant
These horses are so well trained and most are decile .Biting would be rare But if you have a smell on your hand that appeals to them .One being mint as a polo
Your chancing your luck All horses love em
Ormonde or Arnie love to nip,nibble and bite people who they choose to.
When the horse is so feely touchy with the tourists, I guess a quick pet is in order. lol
Shame it wasnt Ormonde or Arnie ,Dont think she would have had the same response 😄
Is anyone ever going to straighten that sign?
16:46王の衛兵へ
貴方が不満な表情を浮かべていても、不躾な観光客は満足するまで馬を撫で続ける手を止めません。
衛兵の了解を得ずに馬に触れようとする旅行客に対して大声で「Get back ！」と高らかに叫ぶべきです。
それこそが王の衛兵に相応しい態度たと思います。
日本の引率教員にはgood👍🏼👍🏼送りたい。
馬に近寄らないように生徒に注意。✌サインをしながら写真を撮る。ルールをしっかり守る事が重要。
楽しんで来てほしい。
Tem soldado que faz até raiva de ver que eles não se impõe,deixam os turistas tocarem no cavalo.Se é proibido então não deixa.Cadê os chefes deles ? Não é não e pronto.
Even if they have siģns they then lean against the horses and they WORKED OUT
BUT LEAN NO TOUCH NO PROBLEM
Signs should be on both sides then no excuses
I wonder. Do they not want to pay for two signs per station?
John
Why is it the Troopers are not saying Stop! It's either a Rule or it's not!!!!
Some troopers just dont care. You can tell by their demeanor that some dont give a stuff. They are not only representing HM Forces, they are representing their own Regiment/Battalion/Corps and indeed themselves.
The first one( left side) thjnk be looked asleep haha
both regiments are First the King's personal Guards, Secondly they and their superiors represent all of Britain and it's 300+ years of history - these guards are army soldiers chosen to perform ceremonial duty for a certain period of time - if their superior officers have said 'it's up to a guard's discretion' to follow or not follow a Rule when at Horse Guards, then remember that when they return to active military duty - some of these guards are just plain lazy, too loose of a rein allowing contact when tourists stand too close, not paying attention to the real or anticipated interactions between tourists and their military mount, staring off in space or looking like they're trying to take an hour's nap - if they and their superiors are unwilling - for whatever reasons - to enforce their own Rules and have consistency, then take the signs down and let it return to it's free disrespectful petting zoo as it was before, and bear the consequences - my rant for the day 😠
"300 years of history" - what rubber boat did you get off? What "rule" ?
@@richardwest6358 learn how to research so as to not show ignorance -
The Household Cavalry was formed by the union of the two most senior regiments in the British Army, the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals, and is divided into the Household Cavalry Regiment and the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. Both regiments have a long and distinguished history; the Life Guards were formed as the bodyguard of King Charles II while in exile on the continent in the 1600s, eventually escorting him back to England for the restoration in 1660.
After World War II, a mounted squadron was formed from each regiment to be stationed at Hyde Park Barracks in London to carry out ceremonial duties, now known as the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. These duties include the daily King’s Life Guard, which provides mounted and dismounted sentries at Horse Guards, the official entrance to St James’s and Buckingham Palace.
At front of video guard let one person go all over horses head why did guard say something to them
I’m an American, actually a southern American where people are raised to know respect. Unfortunately today 😢too many are raised with no understanding of respect to others. Self entitlement. Not all of us are clueless liberals who have no fear of God.
Isn't it frustrating that BAD behaviors, travel?
Americans can read English so no excuse
