Service Dogs are working and should never be touched or distracted from their duties. They are very special dogs.

I don't ride horses, or know anything about it, but I imagined not holding the reins of a horse that's not yours to control to be common sense.

Those people get on my nerves.

Too many hands on the horse 🐎

Some of these tourists are total fools, and one of these days a horse is going to bite off a few fingers, and it will not be the horse's fault. These tourists need to know that it is a privilege to be allowed to get that close to the men and women soldiers, and the horses, who are also military members. This is a military installation, and not Disneyland. The horses and soldiers are not for tourist amusement, as this is their job. The tourists need lessons in showing respect for those men and women who protect their lives so expertly when on UK soil.

Monty is a star, he's a big softy, standing in the box ignoring all the fuss around him. In fact I swear it looks as if he dozing off. Then his head pops up pricks his ears looks around. As if to say oh you're all still here. 😊

I think the credit goes to the Guard's tight hold on the reigns that helped Ormond behave. If only some of those tourists had reigns!😅

Noble Ormonde has been meditating in his stable stall when not on Duty, Ormonde has become enlightened..realizing his biting Tourist and slamming them to the ground is indeed a special Calling, not to be ashamed of especially as Summer Tourism descends upon his Horse Guards..Ormonde is best mates with Alvin and Bullseye..

John absolutely terrible news about the horses and riders injured this morning!!! I hope everyone involved will be ok. My heart goes out to all the troopers and the poor horses!!! 😢😢😢 xxx

I'm watching from America and the tourists are so annoying. The commentary is spot on ❤❤❤

I love the mutual respect between you and the mounted police officer when he tested you on the name of the glorious Bullseye it speaks volumes! Another great video thank you John.

King Ormonde love that horse xx

DONT HOLD THE REINS!! It’s black and white!! Read!!

Monty is a gorgeous horse and so tolerant.

I don’t think he was taught not to bite. The trooper is holding the reins of Ormonde fairly tight so he can’t move his head as much.

There are many service dogs here in Canada. We are not allowed to touch them because the dog is working for his person. It distracts the dog. It’s like touching the reins. 😊

These soldiers are working military people, when will people learn that these guys are not just playing soldier, But are actual army, even the horses are troopers. Being raised here in Tasmania but having strong roots to the UK, I cannot stand disrespect at all. It makes my English blood boil

I’ve noticed in most vids that the horses seem to instinctively know when a child of tender age is nearby. The horse may nip at teens and adults, but treat the younger with gentility. Is that my imagination, or have you noticed it as well?

The guard on Ormonde is definitely the same each time and keeps a tight rein on him.. I beginning to think Ormonde has been to behaviour school.

Service Dogs, should never, ever be touched. Period. Aspbergers range Autism, many folks with that have extreme anxiety over speaking to folks, and being in crowds, the dogs help keep them focused and not as anxious-at least the US versions.

The guard is protecting unsuspecting tourists from his horse! Kudos to him! ❤ Also, the polka-dot hair guy is extremely annoying!!

Totally respect this guard, how he held the horse from bumping or bite the little ones ❤❤❤

You definitely have defined most of these tourists - idiots! I lived in a resort area fir 35 years and I completely understand your frustration with some of these people.

All that head nodding means that horse is probably irritated. And the idots keep getting too close and irritating it even more.

Poor Monty so many people ❤❤

Monty is such a handsome horse. He has a kind face.He is my favorite of the horses. Wallace is also a lovely horse. Excellent tour guide! The police horses are gorgeous, especially Bullseye. Ormonde was really behaving himself. Thanks for the video, John! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

London Police have some beautiful horses.

Ormonde the charming chewer! I love him! The bollards. You should have been there John singing you raise me up 😄

The lovely lady at 52:06 is a member of the Adjutant General's Corps and there she is Staff and Personnel Support (SPS). They are responsible for providing personnel administration and management information, financial management (including pay, allowances, levy collection, accounting and auditing) and administrative staff support to the British Army

I don't know about Ormond but it is sad. I must admit I liked his bad behavior.

I wonder if Ormonde is just being kept on a tighter rein - to me he seemed to toss his head more than when he was preying upon unsuspecting tourists. John you have a wicked sense of humour! 😂 30k strokes a day!!

Monty is such a kind horse.

Ormonde is no longer a nipper. This is sad news 😢

Poor Ormond, not himself today. Maybe taking a day off from terrorizing?? Stand on the lowered bollards and one of these days...... POW, to the moon Alice. Good day all around John. All the best from the USA......Sue

God I love the Blues and Royals. Does he not just look fabulous!!!!❤❤❤

Monty has to be the most patient of all the guards' horses!

He’s run 174 miles!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

It might not be autism itself giving a service dog, but when you are on the spectrum we often have things like anxiety etc as well so I can see why a service dog might be a good idea. And please don't touch any service dog unless given permission. They are at work, just like the four legged troopers are part of a team.

I hope Monty gets extra rations of his favorite food when he gets back to the stable, and doesn't have to come out again today.

I've worked in retail for years. We often encounter "service dogs"...some are your traditional guide dog..some are "assistance dogs"..hearing dogs for the deaf...medical assistance dogs etc. There is a category "emotional support dog"/ "companion dog". It's a bit of a mindfield to be honest..they are supposed to wear collars or coats to signify their "job". The young guy was correct you are not supposed to touch a service dog..but I think his main reason for his reaction was probably down to his autism..I have worked with children and adults with disabilities over the years. I think you were VERY polite as always and you just asked the question. I'm from the school of "if you don't know politely ask". Thank you for another great video John!!! xxx

SPS are Staff and Personell Support responsible for Accountancy, financial management and Personell Administration.

Monty is the most relaxed horse.😊😊😊😊😊

Different kinds of autism. Having the dog must give him the courage to go out and mix with crowds. Terrific!

John you can have a service dog for most disabilities, including hearing ear dogs. When in harness service dogs are not allowed to be touched, out of harness though its up to the handker.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Always a treat to see the glorious Ormond holding court. Quite a treat seeing the mounted police stop for a chat & some photo ops.

Sending sunny love to horses today❤🐎

Ormonde still got that glint in his eyes. But maybe he's waiting for the summer 🏝️⛱️🏄‍♀️🏖️🏝️ when he'll deal with tourists.😊

I really like your sense of humor, John!

Giving me PTSD just watching all these people trying to touch the horses without a clue.

Gold star 🌟 John identifying Bullseye at last 😁😁😁that gorgeous fluffy cloppy boy is unmistakable ! Alvin , another handsome dappled grey , they do seem to like the greys . Sitting in my pyjamas watching this today , nothing like a bit of comfort 😀. Monty almost dozing off , Wallace very curious , Ormonde more settled , Trooper keeping him on a tighter rein , maybe under orders from above we don't know . Though we've only seen part of him on duty , and he wasn't having his space invaded , time will tell ! Hope you've had a good day , see you next time xxx

i'm with you, John. that curly haired teen was making me mad. he was monopolizing the horse, being so rude and selfish. i don't know if a parent was there, but if there was, then they have failed in their job, as well. the people in the crowd need to say something to those kinds of people. there are many there that want to have a pic and can't b/c of people like him.

As a mother of an autism and adhd son the Working dogs are trained in the following. Helps to promote healthy sleep Can improve eating and exercise patterns Helps to reduce the frequency and severity of meltdowns Assist in the development of language Can help to improve motor skills and social skills hope this helps and the young man may have felt overwhelmed by the questions.

Good morning John have a wonderful blessed day❤😊

Tourist and their phones are a bad combination.. I feel so bad for the poor horses and don't understand why the tourist are allowed to touch the horses; It looks like a petting zoo.

The kid in the dark clothes with the curly hair is getting to be a pain 😮in the butt trying to get in other peoples pictures and he spending way too much time petting the horse get your pictures and move along😮😮😮😮

This is ridiculous I didn't take this much interest when I lived in London

I thought you might find this helpful. This is a brief but correct definition of Service Dogs. The link is included in case you wish to learn more. Note: an ESA (emotional support animal) does not have requirements or duties as does a Service Dog. In either case one should always ask before petting these animals. Many Service Dogs are not to be petted while working. Service Dogs can be used for a variety of health or mobility reasons. This info is from the U.S. ADAA. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. This definition does not affect or limit the broader definition of “assistance animal” under the Fair Housing Act or the broader definition of “service animal” under the Air Carrier Access Act. www.ada.gov/resources/service-animals-2010-requirements/

Have to give credit, another channel had some nice coverage of the St George's Parade. Many of the chatters happy to see something patriotic. Feel the same here in the USA, love patriotic events.

Service dogs are task trained to aid people with disabilities. They are not to be touched or distracted from their foccus on their person. This is extensively published in the USA, so we're pretty much used to it.

Monty seems deferential to the tiny tourists.

I own an English springer spaniel, who is a beautiful boy. Don't even like people to touch him. Dogs who are helping people or doing a job should be left alone. When the vest is on don't touch.

I adore your fashion observations, another very informative and entertaining video, thank you John .

God what is WRONG with these people?? An armed police officer says “don’t stand on that circle on the ground” so they not only DO stand on it, but when told to get OFF it, they stand ON it whilst looking at him with a non comprehende expression, while the words slowly percolate thru whatever they use to keep their ears apart…and these are English speakers…I for one would seriously have laughed my arse off had one of them done an impromptu space launch. Poor old Ormonde😂He’s being held tight……someone on high has declared no more tourist snacks, and he’s NOT impressed. It has NOTHING to do with his “spirit” being “broken”. He was still TRYING ffs, he was just being “caught in the act” and pulled up, that’s all. Besides “spirit” doesn’t mean biting. Biting, while it’s perfectly acceptable in a working horse(they have a job and it isn’t to be your fantasy support animal), isn’t a good thing, and with so many idiots who don’t appear to care where their small children are as long as they get a “good photo” it’s really best that he’s restrained a bit because the poor troopers would be mortified if their Mount injured a small child, even if it’s not their fault. Wallace is a sweet lad……bit curious but very gentle….and certainly didn’t deserve the reaction of that woman in the tartan scarf who practically tripped over herself, because the horse “gasp”, looked at her…..🙄😳🤯 If you’re THAT scared of horses, don’t approach them……simple no? Btw is he black all over? Both front feet? Cos we haven’t had a shot of his feet yet 😉😂(just teasin John) Insofar as dogs go…….service animal or not, you do NOT touch a dog without the owners express permission, end of story. Service dogs should be clearly identified by their handler via a vest and NOT touched or spoken to or distracted. Notice the guy had ear plugs in, that scans for an autistic person. There was a lady last year who used to bring dogs into the area for de sensitisation, that were always wearing vests, I seem to recall.

Such a wonderful change in Ormonde. I wouldnt have thought it possible. Many thanks John.

Just stop these idiots getting to close to the horse and guard

I noticed that tourists are not getting as close to Ormonde or petting him as much and that is what seemed to annoy the poor fellow.

Omg poor officers people walking over it ,standing on it not listening to officers .

John, I'm sorry the young man with the service dog was so abrupt about touching his service dog. In this country there are many organisations who train dogs to help with things like diabetes, which alert the owner that they are experiencing low sugar and will alert the owner in some way that they should take their medication for that reason. There are dogs that can alert their owner to get somewhere safe or get to ground level before a fit is about to happen. You may know about a guide dog for blind people, as they are well known for their work. I have a guide dog and on the whole assistance dogs shouldn't be touched, as it could put their owner in danger. I have a rule that if I am asked if a person can pet my dog, I try to use the encounter by politely explaining something about the work that my dog does and on the occasions when a blind person may need more help from a human for example a road that be too dangerous to cross without some help from a human. If you see a visually impaired person waiting to cross a road and the owner is holding the lead only and the harness handle is lying on the dog's back, they may need a hand. Always approach the person with an assistance dog on the opposite side to the dog so not to distract it. Charities need to educate the public more about the work more often in my opinion, although they are not very large charities and may not have the funds to be more recognised. Hope this helps. Don't let this experience put you off asking a service dog user about the work their dog does to help them, as the only way people will learn the rules is through education. From Debbie

“So what is it you don’t want me to stand on? Oh, this thing I’m standing on? This thing right here? Oh ok. “

These tourists shouldn't be allowed to touch the horses! Have a photo with space from the horse then move. The horses and guards must get so fed up with them!

they've been holding Ormonde's reins quite tight lately and giving him a little jerk of the reins when he seems like he might bite, therefore, giving him a "correction" (like i would do when training my dogs). he has been a very fast learner. i have heard you give a name to the other horse in a previous video, but don't remember what you said. all i know is i had named it "Eclipse" for myself and thought that was a better name than the one you told us that time. lol when the horses shake their heads in "yes" motion alot, i feel they are Metallica fans!! the ones that stand so still and quiet, i like to imagine they're telling themselves "i'm in my happy place"!! lol

Make note that there are NO garbage cans any where near Horse Guards so carry your own bag to put any cups or cans, Evan those items from somebody else , who dumb enough to just throw their stuff on the ground. I’m sure Horse Guards would appreciate it.

Wallace is an older horse by the looks of his teeth. He's between the ages of 10 and 15 yrs old. Ormande was being held by the Trooper pretty tight. He didn't have a loose rein like normal. Usually when he chastised tourists, he's on a very loose rein, but not today!! He's being held tightly, just like Wallace is.

Looks very bizzy today 😊

Hello John. "Service Dogs" are also known as "companion dogs" in some countries and when trained to support the disabled, whether physically, visually, emotionally or for the Neurodiverse, i.e., Autism Spectrum Disorder; (mild, moderate or severe, which covers the whole range of neurodiversity....the mild end is no longer caled Aspergers), they ought to have a cover under their harnesses with a very visual message that reads "please don't talk to me I'm working" then folk would have been better informed. When they have their harnesses on they're 'on the job' and folk are asked not to distract them by touching or talking to them. It's the same as any dog working for the services, army, police, customs, cadaver dogs, emergency animals, postal 'sniffers', therapy dogs at airports for the nervous flliers etc, etc. The gentleman holding the harness had earplugs in so was likely very sensitive to noise.....he was also standing on his own, separate from thronging crowds so likely didn't like being touched or jostled. Being at KG's would have been very triggering for him. Well done on being so sensitive when you realised his predicament.

alvin is a good looking horse bulls eye is no slouch either

A service animal is not to be petted while on duty, John. Because all of its attention needs to be on its owner and the surrounding area.

It's difficult to tell whether or not a dog is an actual "service dog", as there is no registration or paperwork required. Most service dogs go through training and are very relaxed and not bothered by crowds. Their attention is always on their human. *I'm not saying this guy is fibbing,* but he shouldn't need a color or chain that is that massive. That is meant to control a strong dog. He is also straddling the dog to keep it in control. Service dogs don't need 'controlling' if they are properly trained. Many people nowadays have 'emotional support pets' which can be any animal you can think of. Not only that, but anyone can buy a "service dog" harness.

❤❤😂😂😂 Frank Spenser standing next to Monty, he has aged well.😂😂😂🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧🐴⚔️🛡️🪖👍🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

He is a Service Dog as in Medical Alert Dog!

Morning...John,...been a very strange day already...have super day.

Ormond has a special bridle setup giving the trooper more control over his head.

That poor horse. 😢 I'm sure the guard probably wants to yell at the horrible tourists and chase them off.

The tour guide was very impressive ty for letting us listen to him

His spirit has been broken, poor Ormonde. Also, the trooper has a tight hold on his reins.

Has Ormonde had an anti-😊bite pill ? 😂😂

Excellent part 2 John apart from the moron holding the REINS!!!! Great to see king Ormonde again❤❤ police horses were stunning.Thank you John stay safe ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

SPS Staff and Personnel Support Branch is a large part of the Adjutant General Corps.....adminstration group.

Who will tune tourists in if not Ormonde? Makes me sad.

Seriously, how do people get their pictures taken when there's no horse around?

😂😂😂😂😂albino horse swear your so comical John 😂😂

Ray Milland is one of my favorite actors. Just read he was a Royal Horse Guard , The Blues.

I think that you shouldn't touch service dogs when they are working i.e, when they have their special harness on.

Service dogs are not to be touched whilst they are in work mode. It’s always best to ask the owner if not sure. Also he might also have epilepsy.

King Ormonde gets angry because he lost a sock.

Why do people think a military horse is part of a petting zoo? Do they have any idea they're at a military facility? Just stupid.

I agree that guy with the curly hair is being a jerk. Like get lost. Poor Monty. He is such a sweetheart. ❤

Monty is too much of a gentle giant, he puts up with so much . I love how some people treat him with respect but the one who get too handsy need to be pulled into line.

Wallace is trying to headbutt everyone😊
