      It seems certain children are allowed to run feral with no thought for their safety or the safety of others ! Some time last year our friend Buska filmed one such little one running through the back of the box just after change over , through the horses legs ! He stopped at the foreleg reached out a touched it , he was so small the Trooper had no idea he was there ! He then ran along to the gate and back into the tiltyard , no one appeared to be looking for him ! I can't remember which video it was , when I've got time I'll look back .

      @@KoriLinae I recently saw a video of an older lady attempting to get friendly with the bison there. She ended up being tossed,spun in the air and left unconscious on the side of the track. To add insult to injury the bison wandered off with her trousers tangled up in his horns as a souvenir. Witnesses suspected that she had been drinking. The English countryside doesn't have much in the way of dangerous wildlife but it has wildlife. I'm a countryside bloke and we learn early to just leave non-domesticated species alone. Mainly for the benefit of the animal in our case but the same standards apply. I suffer from a similar reaction to watching videos from Yellowstone as I do watching videos from Horseguards. Tourons are becoming an international phenomenon lol.

    I'm baffled by some parents. I've been a nanny and have worked in a school with 4 - 5 year olds. You'd have a group of 6 children on a school visit, one adult to 6 children. I knew where my charges were ALL THE TIME!!! Never did I allow any of these children to wander off. I was very strict with my own boys..they held our hand when we went out to places.
    What would happen if, God forbid, any child got trampled on by the horse? It wouldn't be the parents' fault!!! Sorry for the rant!!! Great video again John..thanks xxxxx

    This is an explanation of a crown & two Pips Colonel (Col) is a rank of the British Army and Royal Marines, ranking below brigadier, and above lieutenant colonel. British colonels are not usually field commanders; typically they serve as staff officers between field commands at battalion and brigade level. The insignia is two diamond-shaped pips (properly called "Bath Stars") below a crown. The crown has varied in the past with different monarchs; Elizabeth II's reign used St Edward's Crown. The rank is equivalent to captain in the Royal Navy and group captain in the Royal Air Force.

      Now in my mid-80s I can only view with horror how mass tourism has swamped the world. Mainly with idiots who have no respect or even interest in what they are seeing. Mobile phones haven't helped either, but you can't blame to tool for stupid owners. I read somewhere that the average 'tourist' will take 25,000 'selfies' in their lives - and we used to dread seeing someones 'holiday snaps with maybe 20 pictures in it!
      I am sure that few could even rmember where they were from their 'selfies'. Who seriously wnats to look at photos of themselves in such quantity. Plenty of mirrors in most houses for egoists and masochists!

    The height horses reach is all in the genetics. Mares and geldings from the same sire and dam can reach the same height. Apart from the temperament - and other obvious matters when there are mares about - geldings are chosen over stallions by the Household Cavalry because they’re often taller. The testosterone in stallions causes the growth plates in their legs to fuse at a younger age than with geldings.
    Would it be an idea to start checking the level of common sense people possess to see if they actually have any at all before letting them anywhere near a horse. When a horse is obviously unsettled and there’s no telling which way it will go how stupid do you have to be to just stand gawping. Get out of the way - it’s not rocket science.
    It was looking fairly obvious that Sangan wasn’t settled. He was pawing the ground, tossing his head and weaving and he just wasn’t happy being pestered by people.
    Letting toddlers run around unsupervised in such a large crowd is never smart parenting - but when a a horse is stomping around its lunacy. As for the woman standing right behind Sangan it’s a wonder she wasn’t launched via the aid of a couple of iron shod hooves. Directly behind a horse is a blind spot. If it feels the need to fight off aggressors or predators it won’t wait to find out for certain if one is sneaking up on it - it will just kick out instinctively. There’s no contest in who would come off worse if you’re pitting the power of those back legs against a squishy human.
    I watched one of Buska’s videos today with the trumpeter’s horse being spooked by the protest on The Mall. He was trying to settle it by circling it - with just one hand - and despite it kicking and rearing people just stood way too close. So, while trying to calm his horse with one hand on the reins- and stay in the saddle - he also had to try and navigate onlookers and people just casually strolling or riding a bike past. It was only his superb horsemanship that made it possible for them to get back to the parade ground without a total calamity.

I expect he was relieved to arrive back at Horse Guards .

    Hi jon.
    Fab video again by you..can't for the life of me understand why you would not move when you have a very large 4 legged animal moving towards you ,its not like having a furry guinea pig is it!. Also those couple who wouldn't move at all are part of the friendly !! Group who have been removed before.
    Also John have you noticed that in many of your videos the left hand box,the horses tend to play up. It must be haunted.
    What a lovely tour guide Ron is and hands up to him for showing so much respect for our favourite place.
    Thankyou

    It looked like the horse who quit 3x hit a person with his bum while she was standing there trying to get a picture. I think she was wearing a red top john.😊😊😊😊😊

    I really wish the visitors were more respectful. Being around horses pretty much my entire life - a lot of the horses are distressed by the crowding. Wish they would put a marked berth so the soldiers and mounts are not crushed upon. Respect

  • @pglen6042

    Hi John, i'm new to your channel and have enjoyed watching your videos over the past week, as well as catching up on older ones. As an English woman i'm ashamed to say i wasn't aware of the existence of horse guards until a week ago. I've loved every minute watching your videos and i'm now educated in what not to do 😂. I've never visited London but I now intend to 😊. Thank you

    I remember the programme on channel five of HG and the Captains all had dogs however the Blues and Royals Captain said their dogs are not allowed in their dining room however the Life Guards Captains allow their dogs in the dining room. Talk about their rivalry between the two. I love them all however the Blues and Royals are my favourite.
