I was going to see how the lady trooper handled getting off an over 18 hand horse. She had to balance her whole body after swinging her leg over in order to gracefully descend and not end up too close or under the horse. She used great strength and equilibrium perpendicular to the horse’s back lining up perfectly before aiming her legs toward the ground. She is a LOT stronger than she looks!!! Bravo excellent work Lady Trooper!!!!!

No wonder some of the beautiful horses aren't overly friendly and have an occasional meltdown. Too many tourists around them and touching them.

John you have my vote for official Horse guard videographer, in my opinion they should give you a special jacket designated to all that you are doing the Kings Royal Guards work!

Hi John. I don't think the trooper ran the horse into the box, the horse RAN the trooper into the box!!😁

My hubby asked why I watch this. The horses are magnificent, the guards are amazing, and some of the visitors are so stupid and rude!

You deserve the Thanks because you are respectful to the troopers and you do a great job filming John.

I am so proud of all our Military forces, I just think that we are so lucky to have them all, God bless them all.

We are so blessed in this country the horsemanship of these troupers is beyond belief. John you are doing well with your wonderful videos, you let us see things that are very, very special .

The captain seems comfortable, eloquent and patient on his duty. His body language doesn't deny that he enjoys what he does. The type of person who behaves like him, easily stands out at work and is easily promoted within the career he has chosen.

The tall guard is really impressive the uniforms are magnificent with all the braid great video John 😊

I am completely awed by the Troopers knowledge of their job, the ins and outs of ceremony, etc. As an American I apologize for any “ugly” American who shows disrespect to the Kings guard.😢

The guard playing on a moving horse like that was amazing ❤. Glad to have you back in the land of fish and chips.

That was funny when they announced that lunch was ready , what are we having for lunch then ? IM surprised all the tourists didn't run towards the tunnel 😂😂😂

Don’t the Officers look fantastic I’m so proud of our Guardsmen Troopers and Officers

This filming is simply beautiful John have a wonderful day❤

Watching the trooper control Slizzler was incredible!!!! When you think he has one hand on the reins and one on a sword..amazing!!! xxx

Too many people, the crowds are a danger. Not only pickpocket haven, more importantly a real security problem. Really John it needs to be taken in hand before a tragedy. Excellent video, well narrated as usual.Like the way you give qudos to Buska and the officer. Classy

Well yu were kept very busy today. Another fab video again.. Seeing the chelsea pensioner and the captain was really nice to see and a treat not normally seen so well done for picking that up The way that trooper controlled that horse was exceptional horsemanship. Thank you Ps The way buska runs round the yard is so funny. Bless him 😂

I'm really not surprised poor horse is freaking out I would the tourist are very loud today and his hearing is much better than ours it must be thundering to Sizzler. God love him. ❤

You hit the nail on the head. “ I’m a stickler for detail”. And, that is why your channel is so popular. You explain everything going on and, you always seem to be where the action is and capture the most entertaining, educational, and bizarre things that happen there. I am surprised that it is, repetitively, the same sect of people who are so rude and disrespectful to the guards. It is as though they have not been cultured and know how to behave as adults. I would have thought the opposite of those folks. I think the word has spread amongst the guards, and there are not goi g to tolerate their shenanigans anymore. I laughed the minute the Chitsman started marching back and forth, and didn’t stop, the minute they walked up in front of him. He wasn’t having it. So much entertainment in one video! Loved it, John. Just stellar!

Wonderful to see the splendid beast that is Overlord again , no bushes for him to munch on this time 😂😂😂. That's a long way to the ground for the lady Trooper , just before the change over you can see her stretching and flexing her legs in preparation for the dismount 😀. The Trooper on Sizzler was excellent , shouting at the crowds then spending time soothing and settling Sizzler with lots of comforting pats and scratches , that's why he finished his shift , good job both 😊. The Captain with his group of visitors and the Chelsea Pensioner was explaining everything so well , thanks for being there in a totally respectful way John , though we expect nothing less from you that's why you are so well thought of by HCav and your viewers 🤗. Let's get the subscription numbers up folks 😊

when they say move out of the way they mean MOVE idiots poor horse wins again lol

These videos demonstrate the great appeal of horse mounted military to the people from around the world. Amazing diversity of visitors. I can’t help but think, despite the “rudeness” or “disrespect” of some of the visitors, that all visitors contribute to the economy that would be sorely missed if more draconian policies are instituted. Black informational signs posted on one side of the boxes are tasteful, perhaps bigger RED signs might be universally recognized as warning signs of danger which may result in better behavior?

Love seeing those bright red uniforms. Thank you John for your videos

Great seeing Overlord again and well done to the guard on Sizzler keeping everybody safe around him!!

Makes me very happy to see older ones being respected .

The tall trooper DEF cuts an impressive figure, tho apparently easily missed outside the gates🙄 how, I have NO idea🤷 . 😂sometimes John, if a horse is spooking about something, it’s easier to trot them at it. A bit of momentum makes it harder to baulk. Wow there are SO many people!!and OMG that rude cow in the grey jacket…….in the bloody way and then has the cheek to look offended when she’s almost stepped on and brush herself off like she’d been contaminated by the trooper….silly cow🐮 Thank you so much for that lovely clear shot of Sizzler too. Much appreciated🙏 and yes, kudos to the trooper mounted on Sizzler…..he handled him gently and tactfully, constantly reassuring him with pats and voice…..poor lad was so wired today……it was upsetting for everyone…..except apparently the oblivious tourists.

The trooper on Sizzler is amazing in dealing with the horse!!!

That dismount closeup was wonderful.

The look on that woman's face as she got in position for a photo and standing to close to the soldier,of whom was seeing to horse in the box. Had the cheek to look him up and down. She knew he was there. And did not have the courtesy to give him room. Good one on the guard,s and horses. Nice filming john.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

Another great video loved seeing Overlord again thank you for doing these for us and all your followers ❤

All your videos remind us that we should be mindful and respectful as visitors.

Afternoon John , I don't blame this beauty he/she doesn't want to deal with all those tourists with no not today. People should listen too.

Thank you John for your videos. I appreciate what you show those like me who haven’t been to the UK from a village called Trundle in Australia.

My Gosh the tourists do not stand back for the Officer!

Great listening to the Captain, very informative. Also great to see the Chelsea Pensioner!! Enjoyed the loud shout!!

Good morning John from USA I feel so bad for the soldiers and horses having to deal with this everyday I bet their feet are hurting so bad when the day is done I don’t see how they walk in them I love the horses and soldiers I hope you have a great rest of the day Love the video Thank you

What a pleasure to watch. Thank You , John

Overlord! Yeah. Fabulous. ❤

My sympathy is with Sizzler - he has the most expressive ears I’ve ever seen on a horse. They tell you exactly how he is feeling. His rider is top notch! All that noise and sounds he can’t interpret must be agony.

Maybe the ultra orthodox Jewish men will have a different opinion after having to serve in their country’s military if the law is changed!

The gatesman has a regal voice!

Such a great video! Lots happening with the shouts, tall gates man, Captain. The Chelsea pensioner and officer were impressive.The horse is the boss!

The uniforms are so elegant.

Amazing that the tall handsome trooper, without even having to look up, can look the horse directly in the eyes, even when the horses's head is held high. I wish they would give him boxmen duties. Although maybe they would not.🐴🐴

Hi John, from Maryland, your guards are so handsome and gorgeous in their summer uniforms 😍 ❤️ 😀 ♥️ 😊

Sizzler’s Trooper has a lovely, strong voice.

*Those Horse Doover's are worth a lot* In the olde days -- Steptoe & Son would have been following - with a bucket. 🙂😊😉

Marvelous display of horsemanship @ 59:30 !! I agree, John; a very good morning. Thank you.

That crowd is absolutely crazy! Claustrophobic.

This horse’s white markings are slightly narrower than Ormondes and I think it is a nipper too.

Very charismatic dashing Life Guard Captain there, I've seen him before, he seemed to be such at ease with everything going around him, the way he was explaining everything in such a pleasant and calm manner. Maybe someday, who knows, we'll have the honour of you interviewing him, John☺☺ He would make for such a great tour guide. The trooper on Sizzler managed to pull it off brilliantly, it didn't look good the way Sizzler had the meltdown at the beginning of his shift. I've seen the trooper leading Sizzler into the box before, as a boxman or gateman, now he was on crowd&horse control. He does sometimes give me a somewhat stern, direct and very determined vibe when he's a boxman, the way he handles horses. I've seen him preparing Lancelot for the Elizabeth Cup as well, i couldn't mistake him because of his tattoos on his arms hah, they are very unique😀 A determined manner is good, i guess, but i didn't see him comforting horses too much, it's not his thing. The trooper on Sizzler managed to calm him down with pats and scratches/caresses,while Sizzler did the "polka" dance a bit in the box, but he didn't get into the "waltz" too much, which was a good sign. I guess we should never under-estimate the power of soothing words/gestures with most horses in distress.

Wow!! Horse grabs the Captain's fingers 😕

The trooper was prob thinking OMG what a lot of idiots can't comprehend simple instructions. lol

Wow! What a day! Well done John for capturing all the great moments 😅

1:02:50 Overlord :- love the way the lady trooper is reassuring Overlord with pats and scratches. 1:04:05 Sizzler, not happy but made to the end of his shift. Congratulations to the trooper for keeping him there and controlling Sizzler so nobody got hurt, tourists, Sizzler, or trooper.

Good grief, I’m addicted to this channel.

Hello John. Thank you for the amazing video with Captain H and the Chelsea pensioner. I really love your videos.

I'm sure John there's definitely something wrong with that box that affects some of the horse's and the crowd's have alot to do with it poor twizzler. The Guards were amazing and so was over lord a great big beauty. Thank you John and no don't go to Colombia all hell breaks loose when you aren't here at horse Guards😁❤ Stay safe John.❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧

From 1692 until 1955, all Army pensions were administered by and paid from the Royal Hospital Chelsea, which is why all Army pensioners were often referred to as Chelsea Pensioners. Those who lived 'Out', in the UK or abroad and received their pension in cash from agents around the country were known as Out-Pensioners.

Well you are a fantastic orator you educate many and you add a little humour which always makes me chuckle.

Respect to these guards, one handed.. double reins..sword! I know what it's like to control a horse in the middle of the road on its hind legs having a total meltdown with two hands free!

if the tallest trooper was on Overlord they would not fit in the box

Oh John... you old flirt ...😂😂😂. Women are putty in your hands😂😂😂 A great vid..again Diolch 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

the trooper gaurd doing a great Job ,,, with the horse ....OMG .....SKill xoxoxo

The King's guard tall stature. Is very unique and attractive. Bravo! The trooper for hurrying the horse in.👋👋 The horse wouldn't gone in. Any other way. Just like humans. Animals get frustrated. So I don't blame the horse. Luv all the King's horses they're gorgeous.♥️💂🇬🇧🐎

Poor sizzler just wasn't having a good day, then you have overlord who is calm and sleepy. Well done to the trooper, he handled him well

Sorry John I asked if you had gone on holiday and you had just come back, I didn't hear that. A kind person let me know that, so i thanked them. Hope you had a grand time and the weather was kind

Wow capt look amazing .he knows his history much respect sir

Filmed 10.04.2024…. Part 2 of 2. May the Horse not Nip You 😜 Best Wishes 😎

Evening John! The summer uniforms are so impressive they look so smart! The lady guard getting off the horse is great,I could never do that id probably fall over and hurt myself since im so short! That other guard is sooooo tall like I wish I was taller must be so great to be able to reach things with out a stool or ladder. 🤣

wow, what handsome captains they are.😊

Another spectacular video John. Thank you for the informative and most interesting content. Well done to everyone involved, including Captain H, the lady Trooper who looked fantastic on her mount and the incredibly patient Trooper on the horse on the left of the gates. Also, great respect to the Chelsea Pensioner who was so well presented.

Husband asked to see “the horses” this morning. New fan! 😊

1:45 Tall Gatesman, "Make way" firmly spoken. So sensible Tourons do what? Move it. 4:37 Captain H and C of H, love the uniforms of both men, red jacket, polished metal chest and back plate, and all that gold braid. A credit to the Lifeguards, people took notice and let them through. Amaxing sights to see. Nice to see the Chelsea pensioner and his family with the Captain explaining about the HG " tilt yard" and its history and traditions.

such majestic horses its not a wonder they have meltdowns having faces and hands and loud noises right in their faces for a period of time I would probably act the same way love your videos

Hi again John, thanks again for your video. Wow so much happening, and yet more meltdowns, something is not right. Thanks again ❤️

Have to agree, the training and control each of these troopers have is awesome!! They have more patience than many police officers dealing with crowd control.

Sizzler has the loveliest countenance I just love his eyes.

😂 Horse reminds me of our beagle when he passes gas. He reacts the same way! Our 144 lb. Blond Lab didn't react that way. He just ran with us all happy, when we ran to get away from the oder. Does make me wonder though if that one box has more vibration in it,

Did you notice the girl in the pink top get her arm bit by Overlord? (30 minutes 17 seconds) you were just about to walk in to the yard. Also it was the Trouper who sneezed 😄

Oh John you do make me laugh...

Hello John none of the others talk and let their viewers know what is going on. Thank you. I love listening to you talk.❤❤❤❤❤

🇬🇧 Hello John. Good day to you. Wonderful to see the 2 Chiefs and the Chelsea Pensioner in their full uniforms. Spectacular as ever As was the dismounts. Simply superb. Too many people though.

hope you are having a lovely time in Paris and it isn't raining for you John!

I thought the trooper was amazing the way he controlled the horse and he continually was talking to him too. Good man, that trooper.

Sizzler has a blaze that looks like an arm and hand

Why are people so ignorant ? They wouldn't behave like this in their own countries so why in London?

"The Red Sea parted for Moses" that made me laugh out loud.

This was quite the eventful day!! So many things going on. Poor Sizzler, definitely wasn't happy. Overlord's Trooper's stirrup was above her waist when she was on the ground...definitely needs a box to mount. She was very graceful upon the dismount - hard to do!

The crowds are insane.i hate crowds and don’t take part in tour groups. I fear that the powers that be are going to have to control the tour groups and how many are allowed because something quite tragic could happen.

So pleased to see Overlord. One of your best videos today John

Lightworld This horse - Sizzler reminds of Indigo. Overlord is huge. I remember when he took a “snack” of the Fiscus plant.

Awesome story. Thanks ❤

Wow, so busy, people everywhere. Poor Sizzler, he was unsettled and I have so much respect for the guards for the way they stay calm and deal with rhe situation. I am sure the amount of people in front and surrounding the horses is very off putting for them and when it is so busy it fills me with dread when the horses charge forward suddenly. One day someone will be hurst I am sure of ir, especially when people just stand there taking photos. Love the mixture of all happening and the gates man looks splendid and quite superior. Thanks John for yet another brilliant video.

Trooper keeps telling them to move back, they move back a few feet, he's wondering if he speaks English...hence the laugh

Poor Sizzler had a tough shift! Those cobbles are so treacherous to their shoed hooves, they slide around so much when they get jumpy, it freaks me out! I’ve seen some near falls and I find myself reaching out to keep them from falling, as if I could stop it! I do the “mom” reflex thing like a weirdo!🙄🙀😹🐎❤️

Great video, the different perspectives today made it really interesting.

Been watching this for hours. Great parade. Good music. Saw King and Queen in the gilded carriage 🎉Fantastic! Now the changing of the guards.❤
