Never seen 2 King's Guards Reprimand 2 Idiots as Horse is Agitated at Horse Guards in London

For those who think the horses are abused: The horses stand for one hour, with those types of bits, and won't be back for another one-hour duty for a week. There is a load of info on the horses on here and the internet. it isn't what you think. The horses have regular bits and bridles just like my horse Bert. These bits are a roller bit and a curved bit I was told by a commenter. Some of the horses play with them you can hear the horses who like to clink them together. One of the horses likes to have his tongue out. These horses weigh in at 1200 pounds. They are Irish Draught. The horses are trained to hear the bells and they know their duty is over for a week or more. They know they will be pampered for the rest of the day, every day. Watch some of the videos on here with the horses and the Guards at the seaside...it's beautiful. You will notice the horses act like children rolling in the sand. My horse, Bert, is nowhere the size of these beasts. Necks as thick as tree trunks. THE GUARDS (sigh) "The Household Cavalry own some of the finest horses in all of England, stabled up at the Hyde Park Barracks in central London. There are 235 glossy blacks, 14 ice-cool greys, and four drum horses that make up the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. Love these videos!

I m a parent of a Kings Guard and so proud ❤ The Elite 🃏

I truly believe the horses should NOT be touched by the public! It just seems so disrespectful to the Guards and the horses are ON DUTY! Such beautiful majestic animals!

Those are the same type of toursists who try to pet a buffalo in Yellowstone.

It amazes me the rudeness of people constantly coming up to grab to reins of the horse. Then when scolded, they just laugh, creating laughter in the crowd. These are soldiers doing an official job, not actors in costume. They deserve respect and if nothing more than to read that dang sign!

I do not think tourists should be permitted to position themselves so close to the horses or place their hands on them

People need to understand that grabbing a horse’s reins is like grabbing someone’s steering wheel when they’re driving! It astounds me that people don’t realise this!

The horses are so well disciplined,unlike the tourists

If any of the horses kick out front or back and ends up seriously hurting a member of the public it's their own fault not the horse or guard who is doing brilliantly controlling the horse with one hand.

I still can’t believe the British government allows tourists to treat their soldiers like a petting zoo.🤦🏻‍♀️Never supposed to pet a working disability service dog. They are working. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Never yet seen anyone turn to thank these young men for their patience, and for taking their photo without permission.

Those horses are absolutely amazing. So patient with all those people keep touching them. Well done to our wonderful guards.

It was nice of the lady who actually asked if she could pat the horse.

It still amazes me how rude tourists can be; especially when two Kings Guardsmen are busy conversing and the pushy Ken’s and Karen’s can’t wait just a few minutes to get their pic😢taken. Disgusting rude😠

Hi I’ve just watched the amazing control that the soldier had over his horse. It must have been upsetting for the horse with all these visitors being there. I admire the patients the soldier has over his horse. Thank you for showing us the work these soldiers and horses have to do. I’m at home in Yorkshire just now.

The horse suddenly looked so vulnerable in your long shots, when he freaked out he was upset by something across the road. Horses do need reassurance in this noisy setting crammed with people and traffic. Well done the Guard for calming him down. 💙🌱.

Im a old Marine but it woud be a honor to visit and the guards have my up most resoect for looking sharp and the beautiful horse also, i guess thats the Marine in me is to show respect to them without touching the horse , SF

I love horses so much. However ; I’m always respectful of their size & power & never take liberties. These are working horses with their mounted guards & respect has to be shown at all times ❤

Nice to see a solid POLICE presence there!

Thank you for your Service . Proud to be British ❤
