Can I ask why the guard 💂‍♂️ smakes the horse 🐎 as thay dismounted

They said its how they let the horse know they are going to dismount. And they smack the saddle not the horse.

Absolutely!

Too right. He's a smashing young man. really kind and compassionate. Those who called him out are the racists and should be banned from coming here again.

I am black and have mixed feelings about the "comment"; I don't know what was said but as long as it was not derogatory or disrespectful,I get why the person may have said that. Perhaps,it was someone not used to seeing blacks employed in this capacity. So many of the tourist come from many different places and cultures in which blacks simply are rarely seen there if at all. I have to admit that I smiled broadly when the black soldier came out with his horse because I first thought how handsome he is( all of them are but I had this bias admittedly). Then I thought of how the sight of this soldier counters the narrative that the British monarchy is racist.

Tks....the comment has been removed and I cannot remember it all. I am confident in saying that the majority of Brits are not racist (there are always some in all cultures). We are very proud of our Miltary. Yes, he is a handsome fella.@@monsterlisa3167

When i was young there were a few blacks. We had a large Hispanic population. My senior year we had them in the school. They were students and they easily fit into our groups. They were appa

Arne is also back! Did no damage though. They just need their space, same as humans do. Magnificent animals and very intelligent.

Ormonde is easy to identify-- his blaze looks like a forearm and hand reaching up to pet his head! Totally false advertising-- go for it and find out, I'll be here watching! 🤩

There is no such thing as a “negative skin colour”. I truly hope that English is not your first language.

I agree, we all bleed red and no one is any better than anyone else. God created us all and loves us no matter what color we are.

Skin color is just like the outside of a book. It is what is inside that is more important. We ALL bleed red !!!!

Either bad English or a freudian slip.....The virtue signallers often make themselves appear foolish. Hoping its the former rather than the latter@@dd-bb

All of us are made in the image of God and God does not make mistakes, people on the other hand can be cruel, selfish, bigoted, among other things.

They are both very handsome men.

That must have been amazing.

Problem is Deborah, majority of these tourists think this is a show put on for them straight out of Disneyland. It is'nt. They are our military in thee UK, both guards and horses are soldiers and are working all the time. They are not standing there to be mauled all over. Some days I feel like going down and pawing their stupid faces and maul their bodies and see how they like it, dare bet they won't, but neither do the guards and the horses, they have these knob heads doing it all day long, just can't keep their filthy hands to themselves. Bet majority NEVER wash them after using to public toilets. I know some religion always use their hand to wipe their backsides, never use paper like normal people. do they wash their hands, doubt it?

Now i’m starting to dislike being French.

Mais non! 🇫🇷❤️🙏🏻

@@LondonCityWalks kind of you. I’m reassured 🇫🇷❤️🇬🇧

@@christophermichaelclarence6003 Don't be, it happens so long ago, that a lot of people forgot about that. My quote was just informatic. Take care :)

@@Bluelagoonstudios Thanks, really appreciate it. That era was a long time ago. Way before Queen Victoria. You’re referring the Napoleonic War when the Whole Europe was against France

absolutely - goes without saying. They have a job to do and they make sure it is done well. Kudoos to all who serve in our Military.

I can well imagine it won't be polite, more on lines of oh fcuk, damn touchy feely tourists again, can't they take the hint we don't like being mauled at work, unlike THEM, WE have a job to do, suggest they go back home and get on with it. Did you hear about what Indigo did to that drama queens stupid hat when she would'nt stop pestering him, yanked it of and trod it in all the shite. lol, Ormorode wanted to give him high five for that? lol 🤣🤭🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You may not really want to know!!

I AGREE

‘ ahh come closer, no I won’t bite, or “I’m not into this horsey thing today”or “yes, yes I know I’m gorgeous”! Just a guess..

and they call us animals?!?!

They should charge $1 per photo.

They should just charge admission which would go a long way in the upkeep involved.@@joeshithragman3264

and he has his pals Arnie etc. He is back as well.

You are welcome too our freezing cold, wet, windy weather, have yours over what we have all winter if we could. we have to put up with this from Oct to March, so if you want rain, cold and wind for 5, sometimes 6 months or more you are very welcome to it. Hate weather in my country, never get any decent warm weather, lucky to get 2 days of sun in the summer up North where I live, the South of England always steal the good weather and leave us with the crappy lot. No wonder we are depressed here, like constant winter all year round.😒😒😮‍💨😮‍💨😒😒☹☹☹😕😕😟😟🙁🙁😰😰😰😱😮😦😦😧😧😤😤😤😖😖😣😣😞😞😤😤😤

Yes it would be tempting but absolutely not allowed.

Earlier this year I did many hours of TikTok LIVEs at Horse Guards. During these videos I'm reposting, I'm reading comments on the screen from the viewers during those live broadcasts and responding. Don't worry... many folks at Horse Guards also thought I was talking to myself. 😂😂😂

Their travel agent should give them the tourist info before they come!

They also disrespect us!

A very warm welcome to the Channel Charlene! 😊❤️

@@LondonCityWalks thank you so much! It's cold here in the white mountains of the great north woods!, 🥰

@@charlene555it’s 62 here in Kentucky and I love it. I hate cold weather.

@@annpachini2155 it's snowing and cold up here!! Brrrrrr 🥰

bless the British Army its what makes them great

I saw that too. Also saw where when the superior told him to move forward he must have replied back that the horse was getting anxious and that was why he was so far back. The officer nodded and left

@@annpachini2155 The Guards do reverse the horses back inside the box when they become anxious but l think they like the Guards to be able see up and down the road.

Its true, they have to be aware of what is going on. Many times due to protests etc.they have to take the horses inside. The horses are trained for battle so this could be a big problem with loud noises.@@hettyphilips

3/4 years for HCAV 🙏🏻🐴

He is a fantastic guard and does a great job.

There are two black guards this hour I think.

😂😂😂

Think I saw that too...they are a brotherhood and have a friendly competition with each other but when push comes to shove they work together seamlessly.

Ive tried googling the difference but kept coming up with different answers.

Best you watch the videos.

Friend of mine in the Blues and Royals is Scottish. He's one of the best known faces in the Blues... and no-one would ever guess he is Scottish. 😂😂

What a strange thing to say, why wouldn't some of the Guards be Scottish or have Scottish ancestry?

In my naive, uninformed early days I was nowhere near as semi knowledgeable about the horses... 😇🤦🏽‍♀️

Ormonde has the white part on his face that looks like a Fist nd arm. I think maybe 1 sock. Arnie ha 3 spots on his L nail and is either dark brown or black. There is a 3rd one (can't remember his name) but he has not been there for a while. John knows them well o maybe he can confirm.

Well said and necessary!

When not on duty in the box they are behind the scenes making sure their uniforms are sparkling and I believe they have some duties shared with the groomers. They work hard.

They are the best!

Good to know.

Yes that’s another difference between the two regiments. However there is one Lifeguard who wears his chin strap under his chin. I’ve not noticed any other Lifeguard that does it. Not saying there isn’t I’ve just only seen the one guard
