      John, in my humble opinion , you were absolutely right about the slap, You saw t and you let the police know and they spoke to the young lady in question, there are very few reasons where a slap is acceptable.

      John, for someone who will probably never make it to the UK I want to thank you for having all the awesome buildings on your blogs. It always amazes me how beautiful they all are. Your comments are always welcome, it makes me feel like I’m there. I don’t understand how some people would want to spray paint the buildings. They should find them and have them clean what they have ruined. Unfortunately, we 😢 have the same problem here across the pond. Keep on blogging John! ❤😂😊

      I agree. You would think part of the horses training would relate to facing noise, a sea of faces, not to bite or kick unless instructed. And some horses should be screened out. Then no touching, stand still in a painted square.

I was impressed by graffiti carved in wood dated in the 1700's. Amazing country. The food is better now. I was there in the mid 1970's. One of the luncheons I remember had a piece of roast beef and potatoes fixed 3 different ways with brown gravy. I wondered where was the green stuff.

Some are calm and amiable and will tolerate the crowds and the handling, but these are relatively few and far between. Some will endure it and head toss and try to avoid the hands, and some will actively try to defend their space.

They are a tourist attraction and large part of why people visit London. Excessive security for the “guards” could well cost enough tourism dollars to result in their budget being terminated.

    I forgot to mention about the number of people who are now filming at Horse Guards , it seems like new ones pop up daily , the problem is most know nothing or very little about Horse Guards , The Household Cavalry regiments , and what is happening , they use over dramatic headlines with little or no relevance to what they have filmed to try and attract views , most of the time fortunately it doesn't work ! Even when comments are left putting them right they don't respond and carry on with their inane headings ! Hopefully they'll move on somewhere else !

    The Pinto draft horse types with the hairy (or feathered as their properly called) legs are either Irish Cobs (also called Vanners or Gypsy Vanners, Tinker:s Cobs or Irish Tinkers). The solid colored ones are probably Welsh Cobs. The very small ones are probably Pony Cobs. The other Pinto type horses are probably half Standardbreds.

    Poor Luxembourg, he wants to go with them! Going for a fun trot is way more appealing than working!😹 It must be a bit difficult to come back and face the crowds after being away doing other horsey stuff. The perspective from across the road looking back at the boxes, that massive crowd would make me think twice about crossing the road to wade in. I can only imagine what it the horses must think when they’re facing the crowd each shift, it’s no wonder some of them have a nope and kick off! The carts were pretty cool though, not something I’d have expected to see but I’m always up for the unexpected in the safety of my armchair!😹🐎❤️

    The horses and traps belong to travellers. They go to many places.
    They come to Portsmouth 2 or 3 times a year and many end up at the pubs near the Historic Dockyard. The horses are tied up to trees, poles and bike stands all around the bus station, isle of Wight ferry, Gosport ferry and railway station. Taxis don't stand a chance of getting to their stand at that transport hub.😊❤

      Can well imagine it's a nightmare Joy.? They are so self entitled, never clean up their mess, park anywhere. Some turn up in vans expecting people to pay fortune for doing garden or attacking drive ways, I tell them to do one. Council are my landlords, they deal with work on their properties. Provide traders for elderly and disabled people and .and sure their droves are safe to walk down so they don't fall. Had 2 turn up couple weeks at next door, three all neighbours hedge clippings on my drive, so threw lot at them and told them to clean mess up. Had cheek to ask if I wanted mine done for £600.00. Got no chance, not made of money. Certainly wouldn't give it to them.

    Good evening John from USA I’m late seeing your video working and errands to run after work I absolutely love your video filming this glorious city I would love to visit there but I know I never will get to unless I win the lot😊But the next best thing is watching your video and telling about this city Very beautiful I love the horses and guards I hope you have a great evening and Thank you so much

    Good afternoon John. I see Monty. First two horses I see Thor and that is sweet Monty in the other box ❤
    Second horse guards I see Tallahassee and I don’t remember seeing this other one. Wow.
    Luxembourg beauties 😊

    Enjoying your posting from here in Colorado, US. Unexpected surprise to see the horses with those carts parading on by. I was a bit shocked to see that the street traffic did not stop and wait for all of them to go past before driving on in the middle of them like that. They'd have to wait here in the U.S. My thoughts about Luxemburg having a little dance might have been the smell of all those other horses. What a good horsewoman his guard is to control him like that. Looking forward to your next offering. See you then.

    Just loving these videos from Horseguards! The troopers do amazing work, especially with those massive horses. And yes, Whitehall Court is a beautiful building, so had to check this out. According to the Knight Frank real estate website, there is a 2 bedroom apartment for sale in Whitehall Court, going for a mere 4,750,000 pounds, with a petty 10,000 pound, annual Service Charge, and a Contribution Fund (whatever that is) of a mere 6,000 pounds. Mind you, it's on the 6th floor, and is quite spacious. Sounds like a real bargain. Cheers from Oz!

    But John - time after time the horses indicate their reluctance and unwillingness to be faced with the crowds and the handling. How are you surprised? It's not amusing any more because the numbers are so great, the mauling so relentless, the horses' distress so obvious.

      I agree 100%. Plus standing on hard surfaces for “only an hour” can cause severe hoof, leg and shoulder/hip pain that can cause uneasiness and restlessness.

    • @ipoh3629
      @ipoh3629 Před měsícem +17

      I agree totally. Poor horses have to bear all the mauling. Only way to show their distress is by taking a few bites at tourists or refusing to work. Guardsmen should move back in and a barricade set up. Absolutely no touching of either man or animal. Humans only understand when shouted at or shoved out of the way!

  • @KonTikiBea
    @KonTikiBea Před měsícem +12

    why they allow this type of things to come anywhere NEAR those horses so baffles me. Keep that foolishness away, they know the horses can spook over things... They really should stop doing this to the poor horses. Unreal!

    • @kimgrattage6049

      That lot think they can disrupt any place they go. Should have stayed in chavvy Essex. Don',t bring that amount of horses and carts into a busy city centre like London and hold up all the traffic like they own the roads?

    Most are Gypsy Vanner or Cob horses. And they are known as Trotters or Pacers. That is the gait that they travel in while racing. I hope this answered your question, John. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

    I could watch an all day video of just you walking the streets of London, what a wonderful tour that would be. I love your comments and the way you laugh at idiots. I laugh as hard at them as you do, what twits people are. 😄 I’m an American and I’m really impressed that you knew Tallahassee is the capital of Florida…Probably 50% of Floridians don’t even know that. 😂
    Love your videos John and I 100% agree with you about that jerk hitting the young lady. I wish the world had more gentlemen like you.

    7 ladies with backpacks. That man may be familiar with your page, so waving to his friends who are also fans of your page. Another nice walk to the guards. Here in the states we use to have phone booths but not as attractive as Englands. That sound of Big Ben is so majestic. That building looks like one I've seen in movies, had apartments occupied by one of the characters.

      Those old red ones are rare these days. They were gradually updated when the telephone service was privatised in the early 80s. We have two in the centre of my small Wessex town but they're generally a very rare sight in the UK now. They're much prettier than the ones that replaced them.

    Love this lady guard, Is there horse actually called nipper in any of the groups. I used to go to Southend with my mum, dad and baby brother by steam train, it was a lovely place then so sad to hear it has gone down. Horses mean it when the push them away, dumbos don't take any notice this poor horse seems to be really fed up. She is so good with these big horses, but they are really strong as well, so she has to be strong too. I hope the horse does does settle I am, I am always afraid that it might slip and injure itself and the guard cobbles and horseshoes do not go together. Gypsy trotting rigs, often pulled by the beautiful Gypsy Vanna horses. lovey to watch.

    John - how did you not recognise lovely Monty ? Right hand box when you arrived , then just in front of you at the change over ! Last time we saw him was at Hyde Park for the Elizabeth cup . How many people can you fit in a phone box , 6 plus rucksacks that was so funny 😂. I once took part in a " how many can we fit in a Mini " competition but that was after a yard of ale competition , so I can't remember much about it , probably just as well 😂😂😂. How on earth can there be some people who defend the boy who slapped the girl ? Not the sort of idiots you want on here ! Our great lady Trooper does the job once again , Luxembourg saw the others running and wanted naturally to be part of the herd , like racehorses who unseat the jockey but continue to race with the herd . To the Geordie fella you spoke to , Happy birthday from a fellow Geordie 😀😀😀.
