For you to be the only non press person invited, that is such a honor thank you for sharing it with all of us and always with respect for all the hard work of the guards both parts were fantastic and thank you for your hard work

It’s not just horse and rider who win it’s everyone that has helped to prepare them for the day. Every person and horse dose the British 🇬🇧 proud. Thank you all for your service 🙏❤️

i know i'm old (65), but since i started watching your videos, John, I am just so amazed at how young all the troopers look to me. like children! yet, so poised and mature in their behavior. of course, at my age, anyone under 40ish is a young person!! lol

Wow! What an honor to be present for this wonderful behind the scenes event, John! Thank you for sharing it with us, your loyal viewers and fans. I’m so impressed! As always, with love & appreciation, from Royal Oak, Michigan, USA 🇺🇸♥️🐎♥️🇬🇧

John! you actually filmed Ormonde taking a nip at the guy who was fixing his chain!

John I am so proud of you and exceptionally happy you had this magnificent opportunity to be able to film this that day. Onwards and upwards for you my friend xxxx

Thank you for part 2, what an honor it must have been to invited.

I enjoyed this program so much. Kudos to you, Trooper Jeffery, Horse Monty, and all the crew.

Thank you John for filming this for us. It is absolutely awesome. I love your channel so much, watch it everyday. I am from the US and we never see this kind of thing. Just amazing. I love Britain. Best wishes for much success John, you work hard and deserve it.

What a charming young trooper being interviewed at the end.

thank you John must have been an honour to flim this also very smart kings guards too and horses

Monty is absolutely regal.

So many congratulations John, on being the sole unofficial photographer. x

I must say, these horses are the MAGNIFICENT DOZEN. I‘m so exited that two of my favorites, ORMONDE & MONTY were among them. 🥰💐

As an American who watches your channel to see these Magnificent Officers and their Splendid horses, this was an exceptional treat to behind the scenes of how much work and pride these Officers take in themselves and their horses 🌟. I'm often Awestruck and Amazed at how much practice and precision they BOTH put into their work AND ceremonies. The horse you call drum(draft horses), we have in the US and they're Clydesdales which are mainly associated with Budweiser 😊. I, as you am partial to Monty, he's been absolutely great today, the left 6 were a little restless, the right 6 were just ok, we're going to be good so we can go back in, 🙂. Would have loved to seen Q10 in the lineup. Be sure to check out the Clydesdales, and awaiting the winner 🏆. MUCH RESPECT FOR BOTH THE GUARDS 💂 AND HORSES 🐎..,❤️🤍💙.

Thank you John. You truly deserve such an honor. You always have the backs of these brave men and their steeds

From Vancouver, Washington, USA: The Troupers and horses look so very wonderful lined up in order. This was an amazingly, fantastic day. Thank you, Jon, for letting us in on this program. ♥♥

Monty standing proud

Ormonde looks absolutely majestic.Isn't he the last one on your left Q-10 on far right??? This is totally awesome John. What an honor

What a wonderful experience for you this day must have been for you, John! What an honor to be invited! Thank you for showing it all to us, I am so impressed! 👋🇨🇦

What a great video, and a special well done to my favourite horse Monty and Trooper Jeffery for winning. Well deserved, Monty looked very majestic and so well behaved. He was the very first horse I watched at Horse Guards so I have a soft spot for him.

Thank you John , for sharing Part 2 . I enjoyed Part 1 as well. Excellent footage of the magnificent guards and horses. 🏆🐎🐎🐎. ❤️🇺🇸

John, what an incredible film! Thank you so much for this, I loved it. How lovely to see the human side of these fine soldiers and what goes on behind the scenes. And huge congratulations to Trooper Jeffrey - a very well deserved award ❤️😊

What an honour to be able to witness the care and interreaction of horse and kings guard. Amazing xx

Thank you John for this amazing opportunity to go behind the scenes. For an Aussie it really is very special. Re sheets and pens that you mentioned I was thinking of that, we used to have problems when stewarding at a dog show!!

John good Sunday evening just finished dinner will catch up when I am all sorted. My cousin Sharon from Canada going start following you so there you go catch you shortly xxxx

Just so smart, so elegant, so handsome..... And so are the horses!!!😅

John😎 Thank you for posting this again, Well worth watching again and again.❤

Nice to see this again❤

Just spotted Ormonde, Blues and Royals horse, first horse on the left. l would recognize that flash at any given time.❤

Grateful to you for part two. I expect like part one, an absolute must watch. Thanks again for sharing 👍

Excellent John to see this again. What magnificent men weather Lifeguards or Blue's and Royals they are all the same men and ladies they do the same job. Just fantastic. ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

Lovely to see this again. The second viewing made me appreciate again all the hard work that all the teams did fir their horse. Teamwork. Trooper Monty and Trooper Jeffrey and the team behind them well done. Thanks again John for being invited by the powers of the HG to film this competition.

Thank you was a pleasure watching the 2nd part.

Thank you, John, what great happening 💓 I had no idea about all this.

I can watch this over and over - so interesting and informative. Thanks John. Well done Troopers Jeffrey and Montgomery! 🥰

43:26 they're so young! the troopers

Wonderful to see this video again, knowing the results now! You were a lucky man then, to have the opportunity to see all this! 😊

Such an honor to see from Sunnyvale California.

Wonderful, thanks to them for letting us share this with them.

Wonderful display of men, horses & generations of honor, pride & comradery. Thank you for sharing John. 🌹🇺🇸

Hi John~ you should put watermarks on your videos.

I truly appreciated and enjoyed all the work you have done to bring this unique competition to us. It is amazing to see all the teamwork that goes on behind the scenes to bring this competition to us. I have watched many horse judging competition at local county fairs that my daughter and my grandchildren participated in. They were intense but nothing on the scale of this competition. We'll done by all involved. Congratulations to the winners.

Just fascinating to watch and learn along with you John,. Interesting to hear who everyone is. Bit puzzled about the Field Marshal though as the BA currently has no one listed that last one being Lord Inge who died in 2022. £ generals in attendance I did find that much out looking it up! Part 2 equally wonderful and thank you for your hard work.

Ps, have you watched these two videos so many times? It is a pleasure to watch them, as I am still trying to watch all your videos, and can't wait for you to up load the next video

What a fantastic day , such a privilege for you in person to be there and us to see it thru your channel . Thank you so so much for bringing it to us

John the last Field Marshal (now an honorary rank) was Lord Inge 1997. My old Boss General Sir Martin Farndale 1st Regt Royal Horse Artillery was Chief of the General Staff before his death in 2000. Fantastic man and a great soldier. He was a Lt Col when we were stationed in Colchester then Detmold, Germany.

Hi john, as a child, I started to ride horses. The 27:05 1st horse ever I was to learn to ride I was put on was a grey gelding at 21hands high, I thought I was at the top of the world, the next week I was put on a chestnut mare called Josephine, one of the most stubborn horses I had ever rode, she had a mine of her own & went her own way no matter who rode her, it was so funny looking back at it now 😂

If I'm not mistaken, the horse that didn't want to settle was Ormonde, based on foot markings and head markings. Horse #12 - Ormonde, #5 - could be Venus because I caught a glimpse of her forehead mark under the forelock. #4 - Monty, #9 could be Tyranny and #1 - Lancelot (identified). Couldn't really see the markings on the other horses.

This brings back wonderful memories of attending this event with my family and my Grandson being announced the Winner.

What a handsome guard

Second time I've watched this John, so lucky to be able to see this, just noticed the handsome Ormonde trying to take a wee quick nip at the Captain lol

I'm pretty sure that's Ormonde at the back being led ar. He has 3 white socks and the fist shape on his face

it shows to all present that even with all the training these beautiful horses can still be 'spooked' by something - Part 2 - Congratulations John! such a privilege and honor to be included in the access and filming of all the preparations toward this event and the event itself! - it shows the extent of acknowledgement and respect shown you by the entire Horse Guards 🥰 (I would have probably become overwhelmed, especially allowed to be present in the briefing, and fainted 😂) Congratulations on reaching 60+K !! Who Hoo!! 🍾🍷🎂 Congratulations to winner Trooper Jeffrey and Trooper Mount Shackleton !! awesome! and congrats to the other Household Guards chosen to participate - Well Done to everyone! ❤

Love this they all worked so hard for this day,they as in horses ,guards etc look stunning ,thankyou john

The horses and king’s Guards do a magnificent job!

Greetings from Austin, Texas. Thank you for filming this series. It was informative and fun to watch. Your comments are very helpful. And they add warmth and friendliness to your work. Just curious was Monty one of the horses that spooked?

Excellent John, very informative as always, thankyou for your excellent vids...

They all look amazingly beautiful to me 🐴💂‍♂

Well done to all the Guards your hard work paid off looking so great

I don't know about anyone else but this is like torture. Come on who won? They all look exquisite. They're all winners to me. ❤❤🎉

Monty

The blues and royals that doesn’t want to settle has Lancelot being all antsy dancy

Excellent video. Thanks John. With your voice and knowledge, you should be commenting on all the big performances on national tv. I agree totally that the Union flag should be flying at Horse Guards.

From the left our handsome lifeguard no 1 it’s great for you John well done ❤❤❤

They all look amazing. Well done to everyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed your coverage John. It is really great to see behind the scenes. 🇦🇺

Magnificent

What a treat for you to get to attend. I recognize Ormonde immediately. We they all lined up, Ormonde was in the end on the far left. ❤ Ormonde!!!

The 1927 Irving Berlin song "Putin On The Ritz" is very apt for this kind of video as it's about dressing up in one's finest and strutting around to let everyone see how good you look, among other things. I doubt this was chosen randomly.

Amazing work the troopers and all the team go thru to get everything just perfect , not just for this particular test but every time the troops are out in public . Congratulations to the all today . Can you refresh my memory who the officer inspecting in the uniform I don’t recognise with the yellow strip on his trousers .

It would have been too funny if Ormonde would have won 😎 Just kidding 😁 Fantastic video ❤️

Loving these videos John. Thank you for part 2 now.

I have really enjoyed both of the videos.

Fabulous to watch from🇦🇺

It was wonder to watch that Saturday with John and all his information his great at what he does even the funny bits keep it up

Thank you for sharing this magnificent video.

One word describes this - Fantastic!!

Thanks for putting this up. I wonder who won. You never know with a horse, anything could have happened.

Wow! This was awesome to see and Thank you so much for taking us along on this behind the scenes view! It was amazing to see & hear the very hard work and pride these men & women take in their positions. I was impressed in the way they rooted each other along as well! They are True Comrades. This was a true honor and Bless you for sharing this with Us! I wish every tourist would see this and show these men & women more respect and their beautiful horses when visiting. Blessings to you and look forward to your next video! ❤from SC in USA 🙋‍♀️👍🕊
