In this day and age when people don't have an internal sense of boundaries, they need to have a boundary put there for them! Also in this day and age with unknown enemies, the guard should never be that exposed. Keep a distance Please. Cameras are made with zoom lenses.

Like I said before on another channel...ppl act like it's something from Disney land...they can interact and think there is no consequence to thier actions. This is not a person in costume and the horse is not an animatronic prop. They are a real functioning part of this place. I've seen this in other places like changing of the guard in Scotland, ppl just standing there and have to be shouted at to move or try to lift the soldiers kilts etc...

Just before this video I watched another episode where the guard had to push the panic button. I saw some similar behaviors and the two horses one was first the one kept the first one with the panic button. He kept chewing about on his bed and his tongue was asked you and then just waving his head up and down to both sides of the chest areas. Same areas people touch. I'm noticing this horse is doing something similar with the mouth first there are lot of bugs going around and I'm wondering if some of those bugs might have a chemical that they emit. The horses can't tell you that their tongue is burning. Anyone inspecting them wouldn't see it. I'm watching little bugs flying around. The horses tongue is kind of going from side to side, both horses were waving their head this one is stopping its foot it's trying to express something it can't do anything about. Something might have a burning sensation. A second theory is worse. I've often thought of those people that come up and then put their hand to the horse's nose and mouth area who knows what they could put on their hands as a sadistic trick like bengay or some other chemical that can begin to burn overtime. Ben gay gets hotter and hotter over time. I don't think any of those people should ever be patting the horses and touching them who knows what chemical they could have on their hands..✋

The chain is not a martingal. The horses wear a cavalry bridle with the headpiece and bit able to be removed leaving the horse in just a headcollar. The chain is attached to the headcollar and looped around the horses neck like an ordinary lead rope. It's made of chain because they are cavalry horses. In the days of mounted combat the chain would offer some protection from a sword slash to the horses throat.

The horse is tired of being treated like he is in a petting zoo. He is working and expects the respect he is due. I don’t blame him for being angry. His guard is doing a great job working with his partner.

I’ve watched several horses really enjoying the attention from the tourists, but I’ve also seen so many being pestered by people who think the horse guards are entertainment. There are real working soldiers with their trained horses. I can’t help but wish people would not be allowed to get so close to the horse & rider. I can’t believe how many make sudden moves & loud noises. Bless the horses & the soldiers for their hard work & service. You look wonderful!!!🙏🏼🤗💕

There'll be plenty of time for that, but right now he's a beautifully trained and kept, working, military horse. This is his job. Horse and riders do their jobs well and represent the King to perfection. Wild fields and pasture running are his future.

The horses are special trained to stand there. They trained to ignore noise, people surrounding them and any other distractions. Usually a horse pawing with one leg means it's impatient or frustrated. I think that the guards and soldiers were aware..but the post can not be left unguarded, so I do believe they were trying to speed up the shift change, whilst reassuring both the guard and the horse.

When in London, several years ago, we found the police to be so nice and friendly. We were at Buckingham Palace for the changing of the guards. You’d think the police would be so sick of tourists, being that’s a popular event that many like to see. But no, they were so kind. Love London.

To a horse handler, it is obvious that either there is a horsefly biting his underbelly (which would mean they missed a spot with the insect repellant) or his tack is pinching. Of course he could be just having a bad day… just saying most trained horses won’t act up unless there is a reason.

I feel for the horses natural want to move forward. Standing on stone/cement for long periods can become painful, causing soreness. I wonder, are they at least permitted to ride them forward (guards without all their gear), on a grassy/dirt surface allowing them to loosen up after their required duty? They have bottled up tension needing relief.

I don’t believe in these beautiful animals having to stand so long, it’s usually the martingale and bit that bothers some of them. Guard did a great job but the public are so stupid. I have horses but I’ve had lots of mishaps , people forget how strong these horses are. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I would just point out that no Cavalry horse wears a martingale. What you can see are the leather bridoon or snaffle reins hanging loose, or the steel teather chain, which is attached to the headstall. Most of the trouble that the troopers have with their mounts are the inevitable problems that occur between the necessity for the horse to do what it is told, when told and (the tricky part) for as long as it is required, and trying to take into account the wants and needs of an intelligent, sensitive, and often self opinionated animal, surrounded by well intentioned idiots.
