This Guard is an excellent rider, the kind most horses sense is in command from the first step up into the saddle. Someone commented that this situation is most likely due to a combination of factors. Couldn't agree more. Really agree that the Guardsmen know their mounts extremely well and care for them very much. Thanks for everything you do!
I don't know what's wrong with these people. When a horse is so restless, I keep a safe distance and don't go closer and pet the horse. They say that humanity is becoming increasingly stupid. Is the vanguard already there??????
I'm always amazed that not only do these guardsmen have a way with trying to keep the horses calm, but they do it with only one hand. I have so much respect for them! Bless them all!!! 💓
Why is it so difficult for people ask permission from the guard BEFORE attempting to touch the horse? The guard knows the mood and temperament better than they do! And when they attempt to touch when it doesn't want to be touched it only causes the horse to get stressed and annoyed. Which I see a lot of people don't care about as long as they can get to touch or get their precious photo. The woman in yellow 5:01 should have NEVER APPROACHED to ask about touching the horse, can't she see the horse is stressed??? I guess her ever loving precious photo was just so much more important.🤨 RUDE, INCONSIDERATE PERSON!!! 🤬🤬🤬
When people visit a place they will probably never go to again of course they want a photo. Something to look at in the future so they can remember one of the greatest things they have ever seen and done. Anyone who can't understand that has never visited anywhere really special.
@@MultiDonna99not really….at least not normally……having SO MANY people who totally ignore the body language cues the horse is giving is another matter ofc. NO horse enjoys being crowded by unfamiliar people.
Everything you said is true and couldn’t agree. People these days have a lack of manners and politeness. I can tell the mood of the hoorse. Better not touch touch it
@@j.ksmith7432 Actually British culture is different. I have travelled widely and found Germans bash into you when you are walking with no apology, they are very abrupt, the French don’t know please & thanks you. I remember being in a bank in the far east and everyone rushed to the counter, pushing and shoving, no such thing as a queue. Africans generally just say what they want without any please may I have, or thank you or sorry if they bash into you. I could go on. Our Politeness is still there, our courtesy & general good manners. There are always a few who are the exception.
What the heck is wrong with these people, even the police are just standing there. The horse is agitated, a man walking towards the horse & the police just standing there. The horse Guard had to tell the man to get back. DUH!!!
The Royal Horse Guards ceased to exist back in 1969 when the regiment amalgamated with the 1st Dragoons. The man on duty in the video is a Trooper in The Blues and Royals, the successor to the amalgamated regiments.
This guy is my least favorite because every horse he gets acts this way. It's like he doesn't know how to control the horse or they don't like him for some reason.
@@queencupcake09 like every other Trooper in the HCMR this man has passed his riding course and is as qualified as anyone else on duty. The fact that he is consistently chosen as a box man shows that he is better than most.
The horse is acting up, and this family with the kids are still going to get pictures taken with the horse of the guard is doesn’t make sense. People have no common sense at all.
It's time to stop people from walking in front of horses, and fence it off the people are just ignorant horses and men should not have to put up with this atrocious behaviour
I think at some point the guardsmen should be able to put away their swords and use both hands to make the horse calmer or maybe get off the horse and lead it back to the stables. I worry for the horses and also the guardsmen. ❤
Some people haven’t been privileged enough to have contact with horses, some countries have very few or none. It’s no wonder that they want to stroke the horse and get a photo , there just needs to be a better way to protect everyone. Also, the only horses I’ve seen in zoos go in walking and become a meal.
More people come out from the courtyard on that side, making that horse their first stop unfortunately. I still think a guard or officer should be posted out there to keep people AWAY from the horse. 🚫🚷⛔
There is a superstition around the barracks that the left-hand box is haunted, I’ve no idea by whom or what but certainly some horses just won’t settle that side. 👻👻👻
Posted before that I think it would be a good thing to put rubber mats in the boxes for safety if both horse and rider, the horses soundness, but I would like to add extend it in front about three feet and add sign that tourists are not to step on the rubber. That might make the horses less perturbed.
Horses really don’t care a jot about a bit of dung on the ground! For a start they’re used to it, secondly there is no time between duties to muck out and thirdly, have a look at horses in paddocks, they’ll voluntarily stand in it and some stabled horses use it as a pillow! 😂
@@j.ksmith7432 you must find time to clean the box …organize yourself for that. Horses in paddocks or fields don’t stand in their shits. If you care for the horses you want them clean…this is why you brush and wash them .
What is making the horse so distressed? Is it wise to keep the poor animal on duty in this instance? To my thinking it shows a lack of respect for the animal! Shame!😢
These guards get up at 5am to care for these magnificent horse's. If they took the horse in every time they play up, the horse would try it on again. If you look the guard rubs the horse's neck which calms them down. If that does not work they are taken in.
Es ist traurig zu sehen, das Menschen die Pferde nicht in Respekt ihren Dienst machen lassen. Sie selbst würden sich über belästigungen von fremden auch nicht gefallen lassen und sich einfach mal so berühren lassen und gleichzeitig fotografieren im Sekundentakt 🫣🥹
I like to see a smart turn out, horses hooves oiled for duty. Hooves showing how they are recently filed or scuffed looks untidy and unprofessional. If I want to take my horse out in public, I want to show him off; Perfect. People should say Wow! And be impressed. The good old Linseed oil and Stockholm tar of the old days adds a shine and a nice smart uniform colour. It also conditioned the hooves and smelled nice too. The last video I watched showed a white guard horse setting out on duty with diarrhoea running the whole length, butt to hooves. How anyone allowed him to leave the yard I cannot imagine. The Kings guard show be the best of the best else why do the exist at all?
Did it occur to you that the ‘white horse’ which doesn’t exist, they’re greys, made the mess after leaving the barracks? Also the greys are not used as box horses, that job is exclusively for the Cavalry Blacks or the horses of The Kings Troop RHA when they cover. Greys are used by the trumpeters. If you use Stockholm Tar as a substitute for hoof-oil, effol or whatever is fashionable these days you’ll have half the horses bed and the The Mall stuck to the hooves.
@@j.ksmith7432 In reply, was making the distinction between the types of greys but good for you knowing your stuff putting me right. And yes, he or she came out soiled hence my point. Is there no supervisor to check? Yes, horses can get a bit of piop in their hock but this was extreme.xcouring. It's not just not pretty, it's an animal welfare issue.
Please Abdullah tell the guards the horses mouth bit is bothering him ,God can they not see that! This horse can get aggressive if not removed, I've notice this with other horses constant head nodding an mouth chewing they are not comfortable, these guards men should no this May be it's time to put barriers around so people don't get close anymore this picture taking needs to stop
It’s not the videographers job to tell the Troopers how to do their jobs. I’ve played the video on slo-mo, paused it and enlarged certain aspects of it. There is no sign of a problem with the actual bits but there is a question about the curb chain. Horses are like children at times, they fidget and chew on things, might be a clue to a problem but equally might not, the HCMR have their own vets, if there is a problem they’ll work it out. Any barrier around the horses would be both impractical and downright dangerous, there is also nowhere to put one.
It is clear that there is an issue with the horses bit. This is continuously presenting itself every single time I watch these videos which is daily. Same issue, different horse, every day. You would think that someone in the stable would recognize that there is a problem and correct it. Or they just enjoy torturing the horses!
Agreed. Don't know why I watch these videos! Rein held too tight, using the harsh bit that is uncomfy. Jab jab (which the rider should never do) when horsey asks for his head making standing still unbearable. (A less biddable horse would go backwards upwards and some will rear and go right over backwards; Extremely dangerous to the rider.) These videos are too often Horrid to watch and yes, the same thing happens on most of these videos. So much head nodding shaking trying to gain a looser rein and some comfort. Tough gig standing in one spot, dealing with the boredom and discomfort. Harsh bits should never be necessary. Using them because it is part of the livery should not be acceptable in this more enlightened day and age. I thought rider looked close to losing his temper. Finally at the end, he loosened the rein and and horsey could relax a little. Regarding dealing with the public, if the horse is properly chosen for correct temperament and trained for his job, he shouldn't be a danger to the public. It is all in understanding the horse and good humane training. Having said that, guard duty is not something natural for horses to do. If a horse is bored and uncomfy it will show in unwanted behaviours.
@@AL-lz1hb Thank you. Very true from beginning to end. But it's not just the horses standing guard, even the horses on parade often act up because they are in pain from the bit! Also, I was with the understanding that the men soldiers were supposed to be the most elite the country has to offer. There is one soldier that I often see that is rotund. (The poor horse) How does he possibly qualify at that weight?
@@lindabrennan4455 Hardly elite sadly. As I understand it, some riders have none or little experience before entering the service. Elite riders train for years. There is so much to learn. You can see from the turnout, bridles not adjusted properly. alsorts if you take the time to look at why horses are unhappy. I think the young guards are fairly clueless and supervision is pretty slack. In my day, yards were really hot on everything being just so. It was tough but you learned to do your checks. Regarding weight, it's bizarre to have overweight guards esp riders. before they start their gear is already heavy. Also just sitting on a horses back for guard duty, weight has to be an issue. Horses figet because they are uncomfortable and their natural inclination is to want to move around. The more weight they carry, likely the more they prefer to move to manage the load. Glad others notice the little things.
@@lindabrennan4455 indeed. Just I think most people look at the livery and pageantry and see less what it takes to put on such a show. For some of us we can't help looking with a more critical eye. I tend to see obsessive hard shaking, how they are basically ticking, obsessively playing with the jingly bits rattling chains, and so on. Seeing the tongue waving or flapping being bitten are all signs the rider should attend to the situation. The horse once he starts these self soothing behaviours won't necessarily be able to stop and I worry about that. Sanctuary horses near me bite the tongue or wind suck, weave and it's a sad sight. They can't just relax and enjoy life because the self soothing behaviours are baked in permanent. The royals love their animals as most of us do, but this display is not a good example of caring horsemanship. I wish I didn't watch but when I do, the least I can do is tell what I see.
The bits have zero to do in this situation nor in any of these incidents. Those horses have those bits from the time they are introduced to a bridle. Have you ever ridden a horse in a full bridle? Well, I have for many years, and those bits are not the problem, stupid, rude people are! Get over your self righteous bit & bridle hating self and get educated!
They are full bits one snaffle one curb with curb chain and poll pressure. They are one of the most severe bits used. Especially in the wrong hands. You dont ride on the curb but on the snaffle yet these horses are ridden on the curb. Lots of discomfort and tangled metal in their mouth to pinch. Some horses can tolerate them, some arent used to it and some dont fit well. These horses are powerful. They start on rubber bits and progress to these bits but the bits are also traditional and part of ceramonial tack. There is one rider and horse that uses the snaffle and leaves the curb loose which is proper. The curb can be more uncomfortable if used with heavy hands and is " power steering". But a jointed snaffle can hurt too. Proper light hands should be used. These riders use a heavier, one handed grip of death basically. Some much better then others. You can research the exact tack used, and buy it yourself by doing a calvary horseguards search.
Not all horses can wear the same bit set up like here. Some are fine with a double bit others not very comfortable with this set up. The guard in this video handled this horse very well. For the sake of uniform, this is what the horses wear. How the rider can handle it is the question. Good hands, patience, and timing. And then there is the temperament of the horse. Some are more on the nervous side. Some are quiet. Some are stubborn. There's a lot of factors at play here.
