Trooper doing an amazing job considering she is only controlling the horse with one hand

There is no respect for horses or guards. They should not be allowed to come so close.

The female trooper did a fantastic job of controlling that lovely horse Luxembourg!!

The lady guardsman is truly a skilled horseman .. she never panics and every time one of the horses gets upset you can tell by her body language that she tells the horse ..hey now stop we’re not having this kind of behaviour ..and she takes no nonsense especially with unruly tourists …I’m pretty well built ..and even I wouldn’t mess with her ..I have not doubt she would soon put me in my place …she one tough cookie ❤

Any physical contact like that is unacceptable. Thanks for calling him out

The way that horse was pulling the trooper forward like that when it pulled it's head, it's a wonder it didn't pull her shoulder from it's socket, the force is tremendous, she did a marvelous job especially one handed.

The amazing control of the female Trooper on Luxembourg as the Traveller horses cantered up Whitehall was something to behold! Excellent horsewoman, indeed.

The lady Trooper is an extraordinary horse woman, not even breaking a sweat! Stellar work ESPECIALLY with the chocker of tourists, absolutely wonderful job!

London has some beautiful architecture.

She is utterly amazing, what a horsewoman!!!

Beautiful Luxembourg!! New horse & he didn’t look too happy did he. Lady trooper is a brilliant horsewoman 🙌

The architecture of these buildings is magnificent!

The lady trooper is calm, and the horse senses that she is in control, and he subsides.

This is a lovely surprise. Your video arrived in time for my evening viewing. The trooper on the antsy Luxembourg is phenomenal! Always keeps her cool. She has a very strong arm. Well done for calling it John. The horse is so strong its jerking the lady trooper forward. It was an interesting shift. Thanks John.

I just love this channel and John's narrations. From the USA.

John it always impresses me when you ask people/ tourists where they are from 😊. Brave man.

Did you meet your goal yesterday? I love how you give a great history and description of all you see. I've never been to London, but I love seeing it thru your eyes. Thank you for all you do!!!

I love this lady trooper! Skilled, fierce, intelligent.

Horse is a prey animal. If those horses are trotting moving fast the horse's instinct says if they're running I should be running too. I'm not safe.😮

John you just showed that gorgeous clock, and yesterday there was a history prog. telling us that black spot, under the number 10 plus 2 mins, is always there, as King Charles I, as that was the exact time he was beheaded!...Today was the most interesting, exciting video I've seen, thanks so much, your're the best!

I imagine a new horse needs to get use to the crowds. Then the older ones are probably burned out from the crowds. Luxembourg wants to run free with the other horses.

She was great on that horse. You do a marvelous job , I love your work , explaining everything. Thank you

Thank you for explaining how often they change the horses ! The riders are so skilled and look fierce and majestic at the same time!

I forgot to mention about the number of people who are now filming at Horse Guards , it seems like new ones pop up daily , the problem is most know nothing or very little about Horse Guards , The Household Cavalry regiments , and what is happening , they use over dramatic headlines with little or no relevance to what they have filmed to try and attract views , most of the time fortunately it doesn't work ! Even when comments are left putting them right they don't respond and carry on with their inane headings ! Hopefully they'll move on somewhere else ! We are spoilt with you and Buska ( I love him when he gets a fit of the giggles 😂) . Good night , sleep well xxx

Herd animals. He wants to join in with the other ponies having fun. Great video as usual. I watch every day from Scotland. Especially enjoyed your walk about and seeing a different perspective. The architecture is truly amazing.

The Pinto draft horse types with the hairy (or feathered as their properly called) legs are either Irish Cobs (also called Vanners or Gypsy Vanners, Tinker:s Cobs or Irish Tinkers). The solid colored ones are probably Welsh Cobs. The very small ones are probably Pony Cobs. The other Pinto type horses are probably half Standardbreds.

Hi John, thank you for filming the beautiful architecture of London, i ❤ all the exquisite buildings....

Poor Luxemburg and the trooper. She's amazing, one hand control.

Those trotters are absolutely stunning, I love all horses.

Googled, of course. Three bedroom, seven balconies at 4 Whitehall, rent 6,600£ per month. A mere ‘ bag of shells’ 😊

Thank you, John. You're the best. From California USA.

The horse probably heard the carriages coming and he got excited

The lady trooper is absolutely my favourite as she is so in control of what ever horse she is mounted on. Also that police man that asked you to be careful is also my favourite as is the lady police woman that is usually there.

London is such a beautiful place, the buildings are spectacular and the Architecture amazing, i can't believe so many of these buildings survived the war time blitz, i've visited twice from Australia but unfortunately i won't be able to go back, but i do laugh when you talk about the heat of your summer, it's just a normal day here, but we would be freezing on your average winter day.

That lady trooper is great on the horse She’s really good Luxembourg wanted to be in that parade with other horses A great video today

I think it was a lieutenant who had looked around the corner and I can't blame him for when he saw that in front of him he decided - ok boxmen consider yourselves inspected see you later, I'm out of here.

🍀 _@LondonCityWalks_ 🍀 Hello John, thanks thanks a lot for this second video posted today (13 april). Always too beautiful and interesting. Love more and more the Horses and King's Guards. 🐎♥️🐎♥️🐎♥️🐎♥️🐎♥️🐎♥️ Have a good Evening and be happy ! ♥️🐴 ✋

You make me smile. I’m recovering from surgery on my face for carcinoma (too much sun in my youth!) so I’m watching you and our beautiful horses and guards. I say “our” cuz the way you video and your commentary make me feel like I’m part of it! Thank you!! Have a beautiful day!!❤ That’s funny cuz my first thought was travelers!!

Absolutely Loved that parade with all those beautiful horses First time ever seeing that ❤

Love the way you find out stuff. So interesting. Those ponies were great 👍🏻 😊

Hi John, just quickly checked out price of flats at Whitehorse Court! Oh wow, £10,700,000 was the most expensive I saw which sold in 2022 but there was one sold in 2023 for £212,500.(probably the size of a pantry!), unless they left some zeros off! Like the Geordie you’ve just spoken with whose 40th Birthday it was, I am 80 in June (D Day baby!) and I have never seen changing of the guards or Trooping the Colour, hence I’m loving your videos, thank you so much for making them so interesting.

Poor Luxembourg, he wants to go with them! Going for a fun trot is way more appealing than working!😹 It must be a bit difficult to come back and face the crowds after being away doing other horsey stuff. The perspective from across the road looking back at the boxes, that massive crowd would make me think twice about crossing the road to wade in. I can only imagine what it the horses must think when they’re facing the crowd each shift, it’s no wonder some of them have a nope and kick off! The carts were pretty cool though, not something I’d have expected to see but I’m always up for the unexpected in the safety of my armchair!😹🐎❤️

Just a small reminder, there is no British Army Prison, but there is a military corrective establishment at Colchester which takes pains to carry out further training on Service personnel who have been found to be in need of it by way of a Courts Martial sentence.

The ones with the bi-color fluffy feet looked like Gypsy Vanner Horses. Many of the slender ones were pacers, like those used in harness racing. Pacers move the legs on the same side together, whereas trotters move their legs in diagonals pairs.

Poor Lux just had enough. So much noise and crowds, the other horses racing along was the last straw. Beautiful horses and a phenomenal trooper controlling him.

There was a woman carrying a British flag right in front of Luxembourg's face between the two big groups of carriage horses. If the horses didn't spook him out, she did!

I don't blame the horses.They show their discontent of constant being bothered by the feelie touching crowds. ✝️🙏👑❤️

It must be very heartwarming to have someone come up to you at Horse Guards to compliment your videos and commentary, I will never not enjoy watching your videos. You always find a way to make things entertaining

I bet the horse box soldiers enjoyed the peace and quiet with the delay. They do a fantastic job xx

John an apartment 2 bed White Hall Court only £1,795,000. Enjoy. Hahe Love the way the horse looked at the lady carrying the dog to say "well there's my breakfast".

The horses and traps belong to travellers. They go to many places. They come to Portsmouth 2 or 3 times a year and many end up at the pubs near the Historic Dockyard. The horses are tied up to trees, poles and bike stands all around the bus station, isle of Wight ferry, Gosport ferry and railway station. Taxis don't stand a chance of getting to their stand at that transport hub.😊❤

The traveller horses are gypsy vanna and Welsh cob breeds

Great Tour....got a kick of the students seeing how many can fit in the phone booth.. Hope your day was good.

Red Letter Day at Horse Guards - Karen Killer Lady Guard, super horsemanship o her part, a cart procession thru London - nice!

Damn. I've never going to get any work done today if you keep pushing out these videos!! Just kidding 😊 Keep up the great work John. ❤ 🐴🐴 🇨🇦

Lovely walk alongside whitehall today in the sun. The whitehall residents building is exceptional. I do love hearing other viewers talking to and complimenting you your account. The travellers horses looked amazing..so lovely to see them keeping up their oldest traditions. Keep up the good work x

Good evening John from USA I’m late seeing your video working and errands to run after work I absolutely love your video filming this glorious city I would love to visit there but I know I never will get to unless I win the lot😊But the next best thing is watching your video and telling about this city Very beautiful I love the horses and guards I hope you have a great evening and Thank you so much

OMG how many carts & horses wonder what they are doing in London there must have been at least 40/50 maybe more 😊

I love looking at your building, especially Big Ben-and the church bells.

Just loving these videos from Horseguards! The troopers do amazing work, especially with those massive horses. And yes, Whitehall Court is a beautiful building, so had to check this out. According to the Knight Frank real estate website, there is a 2 bedroom apartment for sale in Whitehall Court, going for a mere 4,750,000 pounds, with a petty 10,000 pound, annual Service Charge, and a Contribution Fund (whatever that is) of a mere 6,000 pounds. Mind you, it's on the 6th floor, and is quite spacious. Sounds like a real bargain. Cheers from Oz!

We have a traveler horse fair twice a year April / October it’s 4 miles from me at Stow on the Wold they start arriving about 3 or more weeks before park wherever they want even on private property make a huge mess race there horses up and down the road in front of my house police do nothing

But John - time after time the horses indicate their reluctance and unwillingness to be faced with the crowds and the handling. How are you surprised? It's not amusing any more because the numbers are so great, the mauling so relentless, the horses' distress so obvious.

Phone boxes make lovely garden ornaments. We have one in our back garden. Legal.

Enjoying your posting from here in Colorado, US. Unexpected surprise to see the horses with those carts parading on by. I was a bit shocked to see that the street traffic did not stop and wait for all of them to go past before driving on in the middle of them like that. They'd have to wait here in the U.S. My thoughts about Luxemburg having a little dance might have been the smell of all those other horses. What a good horsewoman his guard is to control him like that. Looking forward to your next offering. See you then.

Filmed Apr 13, 2024....Thank you 😎.......Have a Great Day

Did you see the horse licking it's lips at the dog! 😂

Gypsy Vanner horses used by Travelers. The horses are primarily the painted (2 colors), truly gorgeous manes and tails!

The parade of horses looked to be Gypsy Vanner. I'm not sure though. Very beautiful!

Love to hear you laugh

❤Amazing horse skills for Lady Trooper.

It would be interesting to interview that Trooper

Wow beatiful sight no wonder horses wanted to go with them.lady guard did fantastic job ,much respect

Good afternoon John. I see Monty. First two horses I see Thor and that is sweet Monty in the other box ❤ Second horse guards I see Tallahassee and I don’t remember seeing this other one. Wow. Luxembourg beauties 😊

Well,that slap gave me a shock from armchair!! of course the little beast slapped her

why they allow this type of things to come anywhere NEAR those horses so baffles me. Keep that foolishness away, they know the horses can spook over things... They really should stop doing this to the poor horses. Unreal!

I can’t wait to visit London! I know where I want to visit first. See you there John.

Thank you John for your videos. Very enjoyable.

He's just not feeling it today. Wow, his guardian trooper is really taking care of him and keeping him calm as possible. Bless his heart.

Most are Gypsy Vanner or Cob horses. And they are known as Trotters or Pacers. That is the gait that they travel in while racing. I hope this answered your question, John. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

That was so cool. Thanks for risking life and limb to show us🥰

I could watch an all day video of just you walking the streets of London, what a wonderful tour that would be. I love your comments and the way you laugh at idiots. I laugh as hard at them as you do, what twits people are. 😄 I’m an American and I’m really impressed that you knew Tallahassee is the capital of Florida…Probably 50% of Floridians don’t even know that. 😂 Love your videos John and I 100% agree with you about that jerk hitting the young lady. I wish the world had more gentlemen like you.

I found this to be be a very action-filled day; it is fantastic, John.

7 ladies with backpacks. That man may be familiar with your page, so waving to his friends who are also fans of your page. Another nice walk to the guards. Here in the states we use to have phone booths but not as attractive as Englands. That sound of Big Ben is so majestic. That building looks like one I've seen in movies, had apartments occupied by one of the characters.

The record for number of people in a phone box is 14, which was set in Edinburgh in 2003

Morning everyone

King Fishers heard mentality kicked in. So many horses! He wanted to run with the heard too!

Wonderful video today. I really enjoy it when you highlight the beautiful architecture of London. You are so informative.You imbued Spring -- light-hearted, joyful... I could go on 😊

😂😂😂You really made me laugh out loud with your Dutch cheese question. Being Dutch i think i can answer it for you. In Dutch we usually say "even lachen" which is translated in English "smile for a moment"

Hi John, Whitehall Ct is in two parts North and South! The south part is luxury apartments and the north part in the National Liberal Club!

Our trees are not showing any greenery yet here in Québec, thanks for the video ❤

Thank you so much for making these videos. Your narration is wonderful to listen to! Sending much love from western Washington, USA

John, what a great video today....one of your best ever....liked the views of your approach, traveller's horse and cart parade was a treat, and of course our super star trooper wrangling unhappy 🐎... I always rush home from work to watch your post...best wishes from Selbyville DE🇱🇷

Love this lady guard, Is there horse actually called nipper in any of the groups. I used to go to Southend with my mum, dad and baby brother by steam train, it was a lovely place then so sad to hear it has gone down. Horses mean it when the push them away, dumbos don't take any notice this poor horse seems to be really fed up. She is so good with these big horses, but they are really strong as well, so she has to be strong too. I hope the horse does does settle I am, I am always afraid that it might slip and injure itself and the guard cobbles and horseshoes do not go together. Gypsy trotting rigs, often pulled by the beautiful Gypsy Vanna horses. lovey to watch.

Wow, there really prepared with those weapons aren't they? But I guess they need to be ready incase they have any problems.

I agree John. The scents and sounds of strange horses will do that.

Well done Guard.

John - how did you not recognise lovely Monty ? Right hand box when you arrived , then just in front of you at the change over ! Last time we saw him was at Hyde Park for the Elizabeth cup . How many people can you fit in a phone box , 6 plus rucksacks that was so funny 😂. I once took part in a " how many can we fit in a Mini " competition but that was after a yard of ale competition , so I can't remember much about it , probably just as well 😂😂😂. How on earth can there be some people who defend the boy who slapped the girl ? Not the sort of idiots you want on here ! Our great lady Trooper does the job once again , Luxembourg saw the others running and wanted naturally to be part of the herd , like racehorses who unseat the jockey but continue to race with the herd . To the Geordie fella you spoke to , Happy birthday from a fellow Geordie 😀😀😀.

Of course you mentioned the name of Whitehall Court, so I had to Google it. It is a magnificent structure. The section that are apartments must be truly amazing. What an amazing parade of horses and carts, very special.

What an amazing trooper... cool as anything
