It shows the intelligence level of ppl..

@rustyiron Ormonde is a trip...love that horse

@@petersclafani4370 sometimes in the negative

Some of these horses maintain their personal space themselves.

Me too💛🐝

And not just a female soldier, she is a member of a *Guards* regiment.......

I'm proud for her. I'm proud of all the female soldiers

there is no such thing as a female soldier. she is a soldier. the sooner people stop remarking on the sex of females the better. I was a Police officer and know what its like to smash through glass ceilings doing the same job for the same pay and conditions. Stop remarking upon it. She is a soldier and I have no doubt her family are proud of her.

@@jackienesbitt9494 why? they do the same job as males for the exact same pay. Stop remarking upon it and it be be normalised quicker. don;t be part of the enduring problem. please. She is simply a serving member of the British Armed Services and is a soldier.

It seems amazing that people go petting the horses without even acknowledging the rider.... Would they pet someone's pitbull or girlfriend without asking ? I sure hope not !

@@herrhaber9076 It's expressly permitted, within reason, and at your own risk.

@@herrhaber9076 Sadly, I've seen people do just that!

You must be very proud of him and I can't blame him for looking after his horse first, if push comes to shove the soldiers life can depend on their horse

lol he he

Look at the disrespect the guards it's a tomb for the unknown Soldier they have no respect for them either

it is not disregard, it is gross disrespect, for the Guards, for the King their duty is to guard, and for British tradition that goes back hundreds of years. while this more be for the benefit of tourists to witness, they are working soldiers, see the medals, and in full dress uniform. !. if you cant be civil on such occasions, just dont go there.

"This unbelievable Tourist?" ..singular ? clickbait....you can see these idiots in a thousand other clips.

I agree. At least he had the decency to apologise.

Unbelievable!!!People now forgot manners!!!

I don’t think they had manners to begin with. Have you noticed that until one touches the horse no does. Once person touches it like a flood gate is opened.

It has nothing to do with 'manners' or the fact that the guard was a woman... It's just that everything is so haphazard, and poorly organized. One day they'll have one of the guards march over to souvenir stand (much further up from where this guard is), and yell repeated at everyone to get behind the second white line. Other times, the police on duty will do it. Kind of like in this video, but they would not have waited to the last minute...

@@Jossianne19130 What manners are you talking about?

It was badly organised by the guard - it's up to them if they have one in "field dress uniform" (in this case fancy dress, adding a No2 dress hat) opening and closing gates and telling people what to do or three. In this case they opted for one, a small female with a quiet voice, with inevitable results. Not "disrespect" but just bad organisation and a lack of supervision.

Never heard that saying it very funny.😂😂😂.

🤣😆

@@Magdalene_b it's an American expression

Adleast he said sorry to the police

​@@Jolene492Of course it does😊

If you look up information on this group of Guards, there is one page that tells people to NOT touch the horses. I wish I could remember the site, but anyone can Google it, if there is a need to know. I have felt that the horses are working, therefore there should be no touching in the first place, but who am I to say so? I am a nobody, my opinion is only important to me, and that is just fine with me, too.

Years ago it wasn't as much a problem either. Less people traveled as they do now. There are just to many people visiting Londan now.

Close the gate! Horses in the yard for tourists tp photograph!

What it is for is to stop making suggestions that are not seen by command and will not ever be done.

@@roseyannette2030 No there isn't, and they're not "Guards".

That's a shame! 😔 There are several videos of them on KZfaq. If you have access to British TV channels you could possibly find some old TV documentaries about them.

@@deborahwylde1410 Thank you! I'll check it out.

@@grannygoes She didn't.

Tell us what you know instead of being a jerk

@@judyc9380 She didn't choose to save the breed by building any programme for King's Troop - her interest in Cleveland Bays and King's Troop aren't connected. I don't know what else you don't know but think you know so it's hard to know where to start, but what would you like to know?

Most are Hussars rather than guards and most are men.

@@barbarapearce9738 Whilst that may have been true a while back, it no longer! Atm the troop are running very close to fifty/fifty in the gender dept no doubt due at least in part to the amount of top women staffers, such as Major Francis Sykes .

Would have to be the MET police which someone is going to have to pay for.

they usually are I don't know whats going on.

Have you considered that some, if not most, of those "IDIOT TOURISTS" are from GB/UK/Commonwealth???🙄

Nonsense! I've seen the guards, come out ahead of the changing of the horse guards, yell for everyone to get behind the second white line, and the people comply. The reason this looks so uncoordinated is just that. This whole operation regarding, "The Changing of the Guard" is just so poorly organized. It seems to vary day to day, or even hour to hour, when the procedure takes place...

@@Tony-Plinkett Yep, the MOD police should be organising the tourists better when it comes to switch over time, all they have to do is move the tourists behind the lines a couple of minutes before the hour strikes, it aint rocket science and as you have stated , poorly organised.

Thank you for this great suggestion!! Click bait is over the top on this account.

Thank you for that answer because I was wondering why they seem to hit the horse

It would, though, be an idea to try - there isn't a sign anywhere telling tourists not to, although they're allowed to touch the horse 😂

It's worth a try.

@@gallinazo29 Exactly - but it just doesn't suit some people's bizarre agendas.

Maybe right underneath that it should say, "£1,000 fine for touching the reins."

@@marcyjames1 and maybe under that a sign saying "we're broke - we need the money."

They just don't get that they are serious soldiers.

most are from overseas its their once in a lifetime to take such photos

@@annpartoon5300 Yes , of course..but some take advantage of the horses and Guards ,they should be more respectful.

They're "trained military", but for those in King's Troop their job and what they're trained to do ceremonial work, public duties, to be a tourist attraction - as long as they're in King's Troop, which is where the vast majority will remain for their time in the Army, that's all they'll ever do - as it is fgor those in HCMR who only stay for four years and don't rotate to HCR and an armoured recce role.

@@isobelcarson6096 Because THEY'RE NOT. King's Troop are a purely ceremonial unit - that's all they do, that's all those in it do. Nothing else.

@Champagne1 I agree, the tack is much better for these horses, also the bits don't seem so troublesome.

I think they are Hussars uniforms

It's not black its blue...and they are the Kings troop Royal Horse Artillery ... not Cavalry ...Huzzars indeed...😂

I think that the horses have more common sense than some of the tourists!

But they are allowed to - if you don't agree then tell the MoD, who allow it.

Yo ya he visto 3 mordidas a manos y 2 mordiscos a pañuelos de cabeza y a continuación tirón y al suelo la turista. Y alguna mordida a mangas del vestido. Así que ojo. Estos caballos no son de madera. 😜👽

The tourists or the horses? 😉

100% agree

I'm with you on that 1

These kind of tourists need to come over here to the USA and visit our Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. I think their eyes would be opened in a hurry to what respect is. Our guards have 0 tolerance for any sound or touching of any chain barrier. I feel bad for the guards that have to endure such stupidity and disrespect. Love from America.

Yesssss ten minute of pictures.. it's enough...

Amen

Why not? Punk rockers in London made a tidy profit out of charging tourists to get photos with them in the 80s.

These guys are the Royal Hussars!

Different! Not just a change of uniform!

@@Ripper36068 No, they are the Royal Horse Artillery.

@@dianat119 My mistake your right RHA

@@Ripper36068 No surprise here - 100% wrong, but still plenty of 'likes' 🤣

It’s not disrespectful for kids to salute. It is awkward depending on their ages though. The police do move the crowd back. But when they go to their stations so they (the cops) are out of the way. The crowd does what the crowd does.

And ... How old are you? (Not trying to be rude; but the older I get the younger most people appear to be "young" or "very young")

Wouldn't do to have pensioners on a fresh horse, pulling a gun carriage.

I was thinking the same then realised that's because I'm so old.😏

Join the club😏

Exactly.... btw... Look at all the fools commenting on here by calling everyone "disrespectful" when it's not deserved...

That's because the black horses are Irish Blacks...we Irish are a frisky lot!

@@TisEyerish1 Ah maybe that is why I am quick to rise and have a bad temper, my maternal grandparents were Irish and came from Dublin.👍👍

@@christinepage181 It could very well be :) I will say this, though..in my youth and through my midlife, I had a terrible temper. Now that I'm old (76), it takes an awful lot to make me cranky or angry! There's hope for all of us :)

@@TisEyerish1 I am 74 and I think my friends would say I have always been easy to wind up, a complainer. It depends on what it is that makes me angry, whether I am slow to boil or go straight to bursting point. I wish you well.

@@christinepage181 Recently, two of my sons and their wives ganged up on me and went through a list of What Ticks Mom Off, LOL. It's an expression I use a lot, but I don't really tick off that easily any more. Life is Grand!

I'd pay to see that

lol. and yet, they don't obey the visual cues on the signs. Im in the Canadian Rockies. Absolute chaos.

This is 2023, there is no excuse for tourists to not look up the protocol for the places they wish to visit. Anyone who will be visiting a country different from their own should WANT to look up information. I would think they don't want to make total idiots of themselves. Obviously, for many tourists, as long as they are happy, the number of peoples' toes, they step on, is not important everything is about them.

Even if I don't understand the language, I would never ever pet an animal without the explicit permission of the owner. And I would for sure not mess with soldiers. I think it's just a question of manners and common sense.

It's not rocket science to find out what a sign says. Unless you're super thick.

There are so many translation apps available these days that's there's no excuse really. If they have access to a mobile device to take a photo then they have the means to translate the signs.

And have to touch the horse. And everyone in their group has to take a pic…one by one.

They just make the horse look more handsome.

LOL, where else would they stand if they wanted a pic with the horse and guard?

By the arches, that is why they are there.

@@georgebarnes8163 i think the thing is…why do THEY all have to be in the pic?

Always is

@@John-G The title has and is used in various ways, so in full, which I failed to do on this occasion, is the Kings Troop Royal Artillery. The horse used by them is the Cleveland Bay, however their colour is varied. As for the Irish draught, and Irish draught crosses, they are certainly used by the regular guards. Chill...

@@Mounhas You all too obviously don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about. The unit's title is the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, and it has been since 24 October 1947 when George V changed it from the Riding Troop, which he'd first named them in April the year before when it was formed. They've never used Cleveland Bays, as the RA and King's Troop sites confirm - always Irish Draught or Irish Draught cross. Repeating rubbish doesn't stop it being rubbish.

@@John-G Sorry, but you're wrong. The RHA use Cleveland Bays.

@@Mounhas You are absolutely dead right! 🙂

@@deborahwylde1410 See my other replies.

There is no excuse, nearly every single person you see is holding a cell phone, or the person(s) with them is holding one. Most cell phones are capable of taking pictures and there are applications that can "read and translate" the signs. Also, last I knew, in just about any country, as long as you do not interfere with a current law enforcement issue, or interrupt a conversation they are having with someone, you can always ask a police officer. You could always type the words of the sign onto your cell phone online translator. If you can Google or Yahoo! or what ever your search engine is, just look up [translator from {Name of Language of Country You are visiting} translate to (Name of YOUR LANGUAGE)

I never saw it either

Nothing really he just didn't realise a second guard was coming and slightly got in the way, As usual the people who post these videos make a mountain from a mole hill

Welcome to another Click-Bait video, and the chorus of fools who will comment on it, by calling out the tourist for being 'disrespectful' once again.... 🙄

Believe me, a bit of both.

They’re all pretty much of an age with a few exceptions, it won’t do them any harm to learn how to deal with the cretin patrol, may come in very useful one day, it’s all part and parcel of life in the army!

Don't get upset at the horse neighing,this breed are known for it,its not distress they just do it

@@j.ksmith7432 "useful" for what? For those in King's Troop the closest they'll ever come to a combat zone is firing a ceremonial salute in Hyde Park!

WRONG these are all active serving personally so get your facts right before making derogatory remarks😊😊😊

Lonely for his friend

It seems at times that they lean against the walls too!!

What exactly do you expect them to do to pass eight hours. Go there and cause serious trouble and you would soon find out

@@avrilbissell930 You try standing about for an eight hour shift

@@barbaraaldam204 I used to do more then an eight hour shift standing. If we had been caught passing the time of day. We would be told we have to make the time back ..The only time you sat was on the loo. Of course this was in the 50s and 60s I think you are actually allowed breaks now.

It is much neater and doesn't get in the way when they are pulling the guns.

Because you don't know very much about horses and spent too much time reading My Little Pony.

That's all they are there for - why else do you think they're there?

They're probably wondering who they pissed off to get assigned to this duty.

@@fluffylittlebear They are there by choice! They apply to join the mounted units. Every morning they are inspected and the cleanest ones are on the horses, the less tidy ones are on foot.

They're thinking god I can't wait to pop round to the red rooster for a pint and a smoke

Play? Where? In a tinny stable?! 💔

Yeah. There isn't a paddock in town; although there is a parade grounds near BP (Hyde Park?) where they exercise. The military also has a retirement home for the horses and a large facility in Norfolk UK where there are pastures and a place along the ocean to exercise. Each horse/guard has to stay in the sentry box for one hour two times a week (separated by a day) The horses and their guards get rotated in and out of the facility/ ranch at Norfolk for R & R (Green grass time?) Ha! The guards with the black horses are in Norfolk while this group fills in for them. The group that is resting is going to be in Scotland at some event later this summer. Later this group will be alble to have a holiday in Norfolk (If that is what you call it for a horse)

The horses have a lot of free time and not in stalls all the time.

@@here_we_go_again2571 There are plenty of places where the horses can excecise on grass.

@@isobelcarson6096 same as the so-called free range chickens?

They really are much more chilled. Even though the one was shouting out now and again it still was really calm. Beautiful horses.

Yes, Irish Draughts and Irish draught cross - the only difference is the colour and that some are smaller.

@@John-G These are Cleveland Bays! Irish Drafts are a different shape and size. 🙂

The horses arent the same. The "black" horses used by the Household Cavalry are bigger. More than likely Irish Draft crosses. Not so long ago Irish Drafts and Cleveland Bays were in danger of becoming extinct but Queen Elizabeth II, in her wisdom, worked hard to utilise both breeds and thus save them. 🙂

@@deborahwylde1410 No, some of the King's Troop horses are Cleveland Bays, usually the wheelers, but most are crosses, part Cleveland Bays / part Irish Draught, and some are Irish Draught / Irish Draught crosses - usually the leaders. As I've tried to explain, you see more Cleveland Bays / Cleveland Bay crosses in the video because of the rank structure - as a general rule, the leaders are ridden by NCOs and the wheelers by gunners / privates, and obviously those on post are all gunners / troopers / privates.

If you search KZfaq there are videos of the Queen’s Guard (now King’s Guard) and their horses in the country at the beach on holiday.

I would not go to another country without someone with me who does know know the language...ignorance is not an excuse to break a rule or law!
