From what commented on previously, there was a protest going on in the street with drums, and some had high-pitched whistles. The horses with the guards experience a better life than most humans, and every effort is taken to make sure they are comfortable. Some humans just don’t care and unknowingly or deliberately act in ways to upset the horses.

My father was a Welsh Guardsman during WWII and one of his duties was assisting with crowd control training of Met Police Horses. Lots of shouting and banging saucepan lids, pushing and shoving, but never actually touching the horses. Being the son of a Welsh framer who farmed with horses he was well used to handling horses, as a kid I would visit the farm in school hols and my job was to water the hoses after a day's work in the fields at the pond. They would wade in and just relax, taking a sip now and again. Then the new tractor came along, and the horses went on light work and retired to the orchard.

Many decent trainers these days don't even think to go on to backing and riding a horse before they have completed the desensitisation stage. It's sad to see this horse on show, panicking at the sounds of the city. The guard and the helpers all know what's bugging him and the issue could have been dealt with long before he ever had a harsh bit in his mouth. If they are not careful, the sounds of the bagpipes and marching will become associated with the pain in his mouth as the reins are pulled Jab Jab Jab! Thus his fear will be reinforced. The Pipes don't need to be scary, they just need to give the horse time to work through his worries in a less pressured environment where the guards aren't having to wrangle reins and sword and consider the safety of the crowds. You can see the guards anticipating the behaviour. you see they and the horse getting worried and restless, how they do this obsessive rubbing of the neck or nose? It's supposed to be soothing and nice but really, it looks like they are soothing themselves. It's not helping at this time. Ideally, they should remain calm and not start acting differently. The horse is a prey animal and he looks to the rider, his protector to feel safe. The guards between them were not offering that gentle solid support. Plenty of horses learn to be bombproof and are totally relaxed with unexpected loud sounds; Likely even better than some of us might be, so there is no reason why these pampered horses can't be properly trained also. You just need to put the time in. Some people might say, desensitisation should have to be completed before the horse is on show in public and a danger! I wonder what their risk assessment says? It's OK if the horses freak out, just so long as the guards bellow loudly at the tourists before they are trampled? And what about our dear deaf tourists? Shall we just say, That's your luck?

The soldier checked the mouth and would have adjusted the bit if it was uncomfortable. I am not sure, but I feel the horse was unsettled before the band and bugles. They are trained to ride with the band, so I don't see how that would have spooked him. Maybe the simple answer is that he was just having an off day, or that, in the end, he just wasn't suitable for all the crowds and the tourists being so close to him. We don't know if he had had an unsettling experience in that box before either.
