The side dismount and the closed box doors, did seem a little odd and unusual. I hope whoever had the medical emergency, recovers completely. Thank you for sharing Buska

@juliadove1006 Ай бұрын

All normal mounts and dismounts are on the left side! And all the, to our eyes, rather bizarre arm waving and dismounting by stages, is just how they are taught in the cavalry school. Including the coordinated neck slap “ make much of your mount!”😆

An epileptic fit can happen to everyone, even if no such problems were ever seen before that time. It can at times be caused by dehydration or overheating and often is a one time occurrence. It's not necessarily epilepsy, where those seizures will happen more than once.

A totally unnecessary horlicks. All they needed to change was the dismount from the usual right side of the courtyard to the left side to allow for the ambulance and police car parked on the right. Nothing else. No reason at all for the new guard not to enter the boxes from the yard, as normal, instead of backing in, or to use one pedestrian gate instead of the main gate as usual. A badly thought out, totally unnecessary stuff-up.

You know, if they just scrapped the antiquated pompous mounted guard idea, there would be a lot of less stressed, much happier horses. After all, there were at least three legitimate authorised gun carriers at that gate that could make mince meat of guards and horses in seconds. So the guards serve no purpose other than showing off where the UK taxes are wasted, to unneccesarily stress animals, and to give stupid people who can’t follow simple rules the opportunity to be yelled at and injured by said stressed horses.

@jilldavies7094 24 күн бұрын

If they "stopped the mounted guard idea" they wouldn't need any horses at all. When not engaged in ceremonial duties these troopers are regular soldiers, serving in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. There is a valid purpose to having a mounted guard. A pair of eyes nearly 9' (2.75m) above ground level can see much farther up and down Whitehall (Downing Street is a short distance away) than someone on foot. The horses aren't stressed. They are the most pampered and well cared-for horses in the country.

@@jilldavies7094Not correct. On completion of a year's basic military and then riding training they do 18 months to 2 years mounted with HCMR. They then re-role and re-train to HCR / armoured recce for three years, then back to HCMR, etc. Average stay in the Army for H Cav is 8 years, minimum is 4.
