HOYS Ambassador Hannah Eccles heads behind the scenes at the Household Cavalry barracks for the dress rehearsal for the Queen's birthday parade! You can see them everyday at HOYS this October.
Are your Soldiers who have to put up with the public, tourist, idiots on punishment duty? And how long do these suffering Soldiers/Horses have to put up with idiots in the public?
And the horse is standing there listening to all this! I must admit though that this gentleman spoke so quickly that it was difficult to understand him.
He said " All the horses come from Ireland, the buyer goes over twice a year and hand-picks them, they need to be 16 hands, or higher, they need to be as black as possible, they need to be struc... they need to be well-built to carry the load"
Yep. They get holidays. Go out to pasture, gallop around, roll around getting dirty. They also go to the beach, gallop on the sand and they also love a swim in the sea. Believe me, they are very well looked after.
The Royals have *acres of pasture and the horses are put out.. Buckingham palace is far bigger than is seen. They are exercised in Hyde Park often .. Holidays at pasture and to the beach, also to Scotland.. They do not keep that muscle tone just by standing around, there are also top quality vets on duty at all times! czcams.com/video/hS7RcScRHmU/video.html
Every morning & evening gallops in one of the London Parks. On duty at Horse Guards Parade for one hour. They do not have to stand still like a statue. Allowed to move. The Guard takes care of the horse such as feeding, grooming, mucking out, polishing the tack. Also has to polish helmet, boots, sword etc. Veterinary/farriers on call 24/7. They live a lot better than some people.
@@patriciarowland2124 Thank you for explaining, I am sure some people assume they are starved and whipped every night. That's why they look so calm, fit and happy eh? LOL
I love how the horse looks round to his buddy...hey look we're on film.
Horses are magnificant .soldiers ,guards do an amazing job
Guards do amazing job lots of respect to them and the soldiers ..
Absolutely 🙏🏼 but it’s sad when the tourists doesn’t show the guards or the horses respect
That guys who's talking . OMG IS HE GORGEOUS........how cute can a man be?
He’s a beautiful boy the soldier isn’t bad either 😊
Glorious sight. Bless them all.
I love these vids but nearly spat my coffee when you sped the horses up. 😂❤
Yeah......me, TOO😂😊
So beautiful.
Thanks for sharing this
I can't think of any more hellish torture than to play a tuba riding on a horse. Oh wait, maybe a saxophone...
Pony cuddles 🥰
Horse was NOT going to be ignored!
It's too bad the sound quality was so poor.
Turn it up, its not "fuzzy" just low.

Hours of training
Looks like she's wearing a night gown/top....really, somewhat seamless.
Do that guards always ride the same horse?
Yes! They have to spend a good period of time getting to know eachother.🏴
I only hope they protect the musicians' horses' sensitive ears with some type of sound absorption ❤🐴💂🏼👮♀️WONDERFUL traditions 😊
Think all the drum horses are deaf.

Funny how I could understand what he was saying
He's an educated Englishman with beautiful diction 😍😋🤭

@@theplaneimage thankyou!
@@juliehock6059, Ha, You're weIcome. I didn't want to type every single thing he said, but that's the important bit, right at the start 😊
Be nice to know if they get to be in pasture and be a horse
They do. They go on vacation to a farm where they enjoy it all.
They also take them to the beach on their own with their assigned horses. They are better looked after than most people.🙂

Go on to CZcams and watch the household cavalry at yellowcraig beach...it will make you smile!

How did she get to go in there?
The captions are terrible,
She was not appropriately dressed for this interview .
Wonder who has to pay for the upkeep of all those horses?! Us?
They belong to the Army
Not an animal lover then🤔
Would it matter if we did, they worth every penny
Couldn’t she at least buttoned her blouse? This isn’t a barroom! Good grief, everyone’s got to show off, it’s nauseating.
She should have done it topless.😀
This silly modern woman thinking they are impressing the guys by dressing like slots.
Praps she was hoping to cop off with him. A bit too much though.
@@brendabutler2891 I think she copped off with the horse instead😂😂😂
God forbid she be allowed to wear what she wants. 😂
Are the horses ever allowed to just be horses and not stand still all the time?

Poor horses all their useful lives inside of a concrete jails they never have a chance to run free on grass or pasture like a normal horse. 😢
No turnout??😢
Maybe focus on the horse and rider instead of her. Keep focused.
