Horses can have a bad day, just like people do.

The king's guard are some of the most highly trained members of the forces. I admire his patience and the poor horse, just wants out of there.

This is the horse saying that I'm not in the mood to put up with these idiots today...😮

It’s interesting how everybody becomes an expert about horses when they suspect something is wrong. These gentlemen and women of the king’s Guard know what they are doing after centuries of knowledge being passed down. I’d be inclined to leave it up to them rather than speculate about what could be wrong. It may be that the horse is just having an off day or is very young.

I have nothing but great admiration for the guards, and that one in particular, to control the horse as he did, with only one hand fills me with awe

Very good horsemanship, young guard earned his pint.

There was several people who checked in on the horse. The mounted life guard did very well. There was a road drill blasting away throughout so that might have had a bearing. If they rush a horse back inside once it plays up a little it could become a learned behaviour and more hassle down the line. I would say the mounted division of the Household Cavalry would have a few centuries of handed down experience to draw on.

Once he/she learns playing up doesn’t get anywhere he/she will settle down. These Guards are highly trained soldiers and horse men and women, they know what they’re doing.

I am not standing in this hole today!!!!! NOT!!!!! I'm sick and tired of this mess!!!!! I'm fed up with people and this hole!!!!

Sometimes I feel the same way at work….nope, not today

Amazing control by the rider❤

I only came for the know it all comments, I mean, its not like they are trained military personnel with lots of experience. So let Trudy/Debbie/Patty with their small holdings tell the professionals how its done 😂😂😂

The guards know their horses they wouldn't be there if there was anything wrong,visitors need to treat the horse with respect,not as if it's a prop on a photo opportunity,the speed some people approach it is shocking ,I've always been told to approach any animal calmly

Another horse whisperer thinking that she can calm the horse down, as she tries to cajole him as she approaches, which he's having none of!

It’s the rerverbation from the drilling. The horse feels the shaking from someone jackhammering nearby. The ground is shaking, that’s why the horse is so jumpy.

As soon. As the horse knew his shift was over he calmed down. He just did not want to be on duty

Wish people who no nothing about these horses keep their stupid comments to themselves. If any horse was being mistreated or distressed the guards would ask for help. The RSPCA are constantly checking that they are cared for. Most likely better than any other animals.

Os animais são iguais ao ser humano, eles também têm dias que não querem ficar ali, eu acho que ele não gosta de ficar parado, e os turistas também não colaboram e isso deixa o animal estressado ❤❤

Has she No Sense, Keep away from the Poor Horse she can see He’s Agitated.

It looks like the horse is not in mood today the soldier does a great job trying to stay on the horse 🐴🐴🐴🐴

All you people going on about the horse, I'm pretty sure the guy sitting on it knows more about that horse than all of you combined. You're all a bit like the tourists clueless!

I’ve just noticed they have changed the signs! They have added Don’t touch the reins! I wonder how many will read it but at least they tried!!

How long does it take for them to realise that the horse is not comfortable. Get it out of there and find out what's wrong.

OMG a Horse Whisperer !!! Back off lady and let the Trooper concentrate on his Horse and NOT YOU!! standing there trying to use your Superpowers of Horse Whispering, go away and watch. And so many just stand there so close to an angry upset Horse who can bolt out at any time. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤

I'm certain the armed police know the horses very well.

I truly hope that nothing bad ever happens here. So dangerous to have so many people this close to horses. A spooked horse is unpredictable and the potential for serious harm is real. With a crowd, it would be nearly impossible to get out of the horse’s way if it bolts. Please, put up safety barriers to keep the crowd back and to a minimum before something terrible happens. Please. 🙏🏼 Let’s learn from the incident that occurred earlier this week and keep the horses and everyone safe.

😮😮Tourists are dumb. Guards don’t want or need assistance from them. The guards have procedures in place if they need assistance from other guards.

The mother with her kids not moving is disgusting. Those kids could have been seriously hurt if the horse bolted. Others watching are bonkers. That lady in the green coat was she talking to the horse??

These guards are professionals they know their horse, proud to be British.😊

Lol, he was fine when he realized he was going back to stables, just was determined he was not working that day. I have had 6 and they are a great pleasure!

I've been watching these horses since the Queen passed and it is getting much worse. It won't be a matter of if but when an infant or small child gets injured. There have been some close shaves already, often when the parent thrusts their child, (once a newborn) for some kind of anointing. When the crowd scatters I've noticed the parents run first, dragging the child or pram behind them.

Clearly the bit is placed wrong You can tell just by how it's placed Ever heard the saying chomping at the bit

Pobrecito caballo está muy inquieto y ansioso algo le duele hasta puede lastimarse y lastimar al guardia deberian relevarlos no está en condiciones en esos momentos ojalá y si lo lleven a los establos y revisen

Everyone is an authority.

Most tourists do not grasp dangerous it is to stand so close to a stressed animal, particularly with children. A horse might suffer from intestinal problems and that pain is unbearable. Best solution is to dismount and let him recover.

LOL, that horse didNOT want to park in that box for his shift.

Why are these people aloud so close to these beautiful horses. It’s bad enough these horses have to stand there with a rider while people take pictures of them but them they have people over and over scratching their noses.

Royal Horse is saying Don't wanna deal Wit nonsense today 😅 Aloha From Hawaii 🙏🥰

It breaks my heart they haven't take the horse back. However, this could be a new horse and they need it to get used to the people and routine so they wait longer than they would if they felt it was an emergency. They know the horses better than they know their own families so i have to trust in their judgements.

You can tell the horse is not happy with the bit in his mouth ,it is uncomfortable for him.body language says it all.

I was thinking the same thing. He kept shaking his head and moving his mouth!!!!!!!!

They need to redo the horse's bit. It's binding in the horse's mouth.

Está señorita de camperon verde y joggin azul, ve que el caballo está molesto, pero... sigue insistiendo . Que falta de respeto. Asi estamos. Mis saludos a los Guardias Reales. ❤❤❤ 🇦🇷

It's good that no one really approached this horse except for idiot girl in the blue. I don't think this horse was up for it today and they should have just taken him back to his stable. He's too agitated to perform his duty properly anyway.

Weird activity from that woman. Makes the guard’s work harder. She’s just not getting it.

I've been around many horses most of my young life and I believe that horse is having problems with his bit. The horse appears to be is pain in his mouth area. Shaking and bobbing his head as well as constant chewing. One hell of a rider. One hand control. The horse is destressed, however.

The soldiers on the horses have such skills.

Dangerous for the horse, rider and the public. That bit drives them all crazy.

Muita dó desses animais 😔 eles são muito sensíveis, acho que só de ver esse povo sem educação, eles já ficam agitados🐴🥺🥺💙💙💙

The horses knows if he makes enough fuss they will take him in and he will go inside and eat hay horses are very crafty .also thanks to our late queen monty roberts training has made the horses lives even better.

That horse definitely is not happy respect to the guard for the control of it hope the horse is ok

I am becoming stressed just watching this poor uncomfortable horse.

The lady 'horse whisperer' thinks if she stares at the horse long enough she can calm him down.

Se o cavalo estivesse bem , seu comportamento seria outro !!!! Algo não está bem com ele , é preciso verificar urgente, antes que se agrave.

Pent up energy!!! They need to switch out horses and take them to a field and let them run for a day!!! City life and touchy-feally ignorant tourists will stress them out!!!

Man and horse will be exhausted at end of watch

The horse’s bit is the problem.

The guard is in charge not u ,move

Cant say I blame the horse,it's not much fun for him having to stand in that box whilst numerous tourists grab at him. Not much of a live for him really.

obvıously dıstressed poor mount

Coitado do cavalinho.que não fez mal a ninguém 😢

I bet t😂he horse is thinking ! You are not getting my arse in there !

That horse is not going to settle down. It’s fight as much as it can considering its circumstances. It’s trying to tell them it’s not up for this at this moment. Sometimes, I wonder about the horse handlers that come out to assist & assess. They aren’t there long enough to get a true sense of what the horse is trying to convey. Anyone with some experience with horse knows something is not right. It’s not adjusting that chain. The guardsman should know & tell someone. This is not the day for this horses. He can handle the horse, but you can’t change a horse’s will. What does that woman think she’s doing? Yes the guard knows his horse well, but not always can you understand where an animal’s head is at. Much, much respect to guard & horse. 🏆🌟💥

All is not well with this situation. He needs to take the emergency break off. He’s has constant pressure on the shank of the bit. If the port is too high it would put undo pressure on the roof of the mouth. Poor guys. ❤

Sometimes it’s that the horse can’t tolerate standing anymore. Police horses get retired for this reason and I’m certain the guard horses do too. I don’t think it’s the bit so much as he’s just had it.

At least while the horse plays up the tourists stay away.

His bits in wrong or something he’s not happy

Ive seen a couple of times wher there was some sort of high pitched noise from across the road and a protest march headinng from quite a way down the road using different types of strange instruments and chanting and lastly a big group of motorcyclists reving wildly across the road , not a biker club, each horse has its own hates

Whatever bits they are using seems to be uncomfortable for the horse.

That bit is annoying the horse.Constant head shaking and chewing , Just my opinion. Poor horse, having to put up with certain people 😢. Fair play to the Guard trying to settle him down, but some people are clueless!!

Thank you for sharing this amazing content I really enjoyed watching.

It looks to me the way the horse is mouthing it’s bit that this could be the reason for its discomfort

Poor horses have to stand still for such a long time . I don't blame the horses at all, and to have a human sitting on there back to boot. It's time for the royal family to join the 20th century & install security cameras.

Ohhhh - we have a horse whisperer. That should settle it down a bit. I wonder if the horse is bi-lingual.

Appears to be fighting the bit

The horse said I don’t think so ,not today thank you very much.😊

The advantage of a restless horse is there are hardly any tourist bothering the horse, nor the guard.

These tourists that think they’re horse whisperer’s drive me nuts.

It is beyond understanding why people have to congregate like a pack of wild animals in front and too the side of the horse guard. And they show no respect for the guard or the horse.

Ang galing sir maraming nanood sa korse ng king salamat sa pagbhagi

It sure looks like that bit is twisting, pinching or not sitting correctly.

Does anyone have a idea who the people in the suits were and the person who was having a go at the guard

I wonder if some of these tourists have residual odor of pot or other drugs that greatly disturb these horses.

Come on clearly the poor Horse is having a bad day let it rest 😪😪😪can't bare to watch it

What’s with these narcissistic tourists who feel the need to inject themselves in the situation.

He is really chomping that bit!

This has been uncomfortable to watch. That horse should not be subjected to this. He is in distress!!

horse juust not having this mess today

New horse new surroundings and a nervous rider. Hanging on to its mouth doesn't help.

It’s the drilling and vibrations. The guards are horsemen, they know their tack and horses.

O poor horse he looks very uncomfortable with the bit in he's mouth because he is chomping on it thought some one would check it feel sorry for guard cant settle him

The horse is showing discomfort in the mouth as he's constantly trying to chew .Why don't they check the mouthpiece?

Guys wait for part 2 it’s very bad day today

Poor horse. Sort him out

The bits must be generic, one size fits all.. he’s clearly having problems with it.

No quiere estar ahí de plantón, repudio obligar a un animal a tal cituacion.😮

I agree with the commenter that said you should always check the bit if the horse is chomping at the bit like this horse is. And also the first soldier that checked the horse should get reprimanded for his treatment of the horse. He was not sympathetic of the horses discomfort. No one checked the bit at all. The guard riding should be able to tell them what the horse is doing. 🤔🤨🐴🐎😠

I wondering. How often they have to chance out horses during the day

I am no horse person it seems his mouth is bothering him

It was a sudden reaction on the part of the horse. Maybe a wasp or a horse fly?
