Absolute idiots no respect shown for guard or horse they treat it like a petting zoo my father was a marine commando and died for this country so for me to see such horrendous disrespect its hurtful as these guards are highly trained soldiers not there for tourists fun and amusement

I just don't understand this grabbing the rein, would you walk up and take the leash when you pet a strangers dog???

The Horse is a Soldier alone with his Rider. Respect their Duty!!

Correction ; not alone but along.

Boils my piss all these disrespectful w@n***s. We are proud of our Armed Forces and they dont deserve the disrespect they get.

People think the guards are some sort of show. It's not a Disney parade these are working soldiers, on duty.

PS I should also have said and many of them will have helped save the countries that many of these Giggling women and frowning men have come from so come on you Eastern Europeans you owe us a debt we also helped save your country from the Putin's and others of Eastern Europe

Fr tho. If I see a guard I don't try to take a picture with them. They're on duty and they're just not people i want to take pictures of/with. Let alone an animal that's also on duty. Have people ever heard of the word "caution?" I would never wild out in an unfamiliar place😮‍💨 These tourists act like it's a zoo

Too bad they can't wack these disrespectful people with the flat side of the sword.

Yeah it's a big man who shouts like that!! Ridiculous

I was just going to write the same comment! He looked like he enjoyed the little thrill. It gave me the flipping creeps 🤮

You can see in his face as he walked away at the end ..... he was trolling . Should have fined him for that .

He was. Having a quick touch. Up

He looked like a perv

pervert alert

💯💥💔

Sie hat es nicht anders verdient 😅

I agree

That was hilarious! Can't say they weren't warned....the sign is on both sides of the station, warning about bites and kicks! I loved the slo mo playback of her smile turning into panic!

That was hilarious! It hurts when they bite she's lucky he let go it was her own stupid fault.

I agree..there’s a sign on the wall…so take your own chances

Need another signage to replace the one that’s there - Do Not Touch Guard and horse!

@@TheZbetten indeed

I think when they get yelled at they don’t speak English half the time so have no clue on British rules and laws. Definitely needs a new sign do not touch or approach. Dumb tourists just wanting a stupid photo but they don’t know the significance of what they are standing next to.

I highly recommend there be a person or docent like individual explaining to visitors the rules before entering. There must be an assigned entrance for visitors to come in to the area. This way they may get fined or something for not following the rules.

But they don't so it continues

Absolutely. You can't approach soldiers on duty, and expect to be able to interfere with them, their weapons or their horses. I am ashamed of the stupidly of humans at times.

well you see, you are allowed to take pictures with guards as long as you don’t touch them and as you can see, the boy who reported the guard had his hands in his pockets and wasn’t touching him, which didn’t warrant a screaming at. That’s why they reported that particular guard. Everyone else in the video are just idiots touching the guard and the horses reins

They lied on him, it’s obvious he didn’t report him he just asked if it was allowed and when the superior answered that it was he said ok.

@@seldomsleeper9134 You're not supposed to get that close either. That's just common courtesy. They're real people, how would you feel if people just randomly decided to stand 2cm away from you while you're working? You'd get annoyed too, wouldn't you?

I cannot believe that people actually grab hold of the horse’s reins! Unbelievable.

They should have long ago taken a serious stance on this. Unacceptable to have people walking up to the horses and mounts and grabbing at them, that way. But at this point, I blame the palace for not putting up barriers for the safety of the horses and guards. I'm sure this happens constantly and particularly the animals should not be made to tolerate people coming close to them like this.

Or even better the sign not to touch nor horses,nor guards It's just creepy😮 I'm not a London girl but at least I would ask the guard politely can I touch the horse.And then and only under his own conditions for me to approach would maybe do that.

Or have barriers to keep people back. People are so rude.

Absolutely right!!! No respect.

Perfect comment!

This comment is pure perfection 👍👏👏👏

Damnit o'l slingsby I thought I could toot my hoot an dilly waggle my willy wobbler on a count I'm on the o'l cup oh the train wagon an I af to look me own apples when I shat on a turtle and had a comb and ah honey bee y'know I mean?

Haha well anyway I'm sorr boyt that I'll be a better pancake Roger next time!

yeah, but to be fair. That's a Disney character tourist trap. That helmet is not there for modern warfare or defense. It's there for museum history tourism.

Go home touch. Your own horse 🐎

I agree! It confuses the horse and literally takes the control from the soldier! The soldiers and the horses are not props!

​@@meganfedor just left a comment like this and completely agree its like they think these people and horses are props to play with and its shocking

As a horseman, it sure is despicable to grab the reins especially when it had a chain and a bit in its mouth since it can confuse it or even make resentment towards bridles for the horse.

Well said. ❤

Disciplined soldiers. I pity them, though...They need some support.

Horse REINS!! The King REIGNS 🙄

Ormai non c'è più rispetto per niente , perché di questo si tratta ,mancanza di rispetto

Right, I own two horses and if I lose control then I am doomed, I won't be able to control either one, horses will test their riders I hope they will change things so that the horse, the guard and the public can be safe and allow the guards to view this and look after the safety of all concerned

@@allisonpatterson4555 The sky RAINS. The English language is confusing.

As I believe I've said before, would they grab the steering wheel when someone else is driving? Maybe these idiots would!

If the Penalty was a chopped off limb, I am sure far fewer People would make so bold as to molest The King's Guard 💂‍♂️ and King's Horses 🐎 Lol, maybe the bloody Gits need to be Horse whipped, in order to make a point.

@@carminemurray6624 I'm just waiting for a guard to run one of the idiots through with his sword.

Should have sign do not touch the horse.

@@bibakroll8999 Maybe they’re kids plastic swords. 😉

UNFORTUNATELYou can't make people have Respect.Sadly.

There should be a 'don't touch the rein' sign. I know lots of people don't know the danger of touching reins. Also they are rude because they know they won't get arrested or punished.

@@arivanilla I agree with you.👍

​@@arivanilla in how many languages???

How can you have no respect for them :(

i agree,, especially asians tourists want to touch everything and take 100.000 photos!!!!

Unsettle sword onthem

@@melissaburke6004 I agree. Start having the mounted guards bopping people on the head with their swords (covered of course) then they might learn.

Could have been worse. He has a SWORD in his hand.

@@Gems-of-Hope-Rocks Oh no! I want that job and I am not joking! I want a MEGAPHONE ALSO!!!! Apparently they are all deaf!

If he touched the rains then thats his own fault

That line is a recent addition to the sign.

People should know by now 2023 . Like the Guards have spent numerous hours polishing the reins. Plus trying to guard People.

The policeman was right. Hold the rein. Control of horse!

I think it's half done on purpose. Tourists like the guards

Jean, I think twerp is a delightful understatement. How about numpties, or stupid scum? Michael

Thats the most English comment lol

So WRONG

I truly start to believe that they think they are actors like it's Disneyland, not soldiers.

In our family, we wouldn't even dream of petting someone's dog without asking the owner if we may.

Yes, I did hug the horse and kiss him but I asked the guard if I could and if his horse would mind. He said his horse was very gentle and wouldn’t mind. Then I blew him a big kiss and said thank you.

Actually the King's Guard can not give permission because that would be in direct opposition to the warning sign on the wall.

😂 my thoughts too

The bord who is hanging on...nobody read it

They're incredibly thick and utterly ignorant.

​@@SeanHH1986 And then to not let them go, when called to do so, like the first clip.

Yes, yes, and yes to all the above, in which world is it OK to touch someone you don't know? Even if their are not guards, don't freaking touch people!

They're not Damn Horses got it??

I hate these people. Fully.

@@tinagoodman7256he’s lucky he didn’t lose an arm , with that sword the guard carries lol

Yeah I noticed his weird energy - parents should not allow him near their children. He is creepy.

He's a creep ..

When he doesn't get the Reins at least get the guard's leg 😂

That's super cringeworthy

A police officer explains to a tourist why it’s not okay to touch the reins.

The amount of idiots I just witnessed is shocking

Nice payback to the rude tourist. He was just letting everyone know not to mess with him . I loved it !!

@@dianejohnson905 intelligent horse

Playful horse. He could have easily crushed the guy's foot.

Smart horse

It’s not funny !! Tourist!!do not touch the reins! I’ve worked with horses my whole life, I was bitten in my neck in split second by a spooked horse, it was my fault for not respecting his boundaries , they are extremely powerful! They can “kill” you without meaning to. One kick, one powerful bite to the neck. Show respect!! They are soldiers!

I know. These people are dumb. Have they ever watched a horse bolt.

1) There are printed warnings, but as my boss so eloquently put it, "Do you expect people to read?!?" 2) She was quite obviously not used to ever being around horses.

Best bit 😂😂😂😂

She's luck he didn't have to give it back or maybe just part of it

With a sign just inches from her face that warns about that very thing. Brilliant.

Grabbing a horse’s reins, which are used to control the horse, is comparable to grabbing someone’s steering wheel.

When they realise they are living breathing soldiers and not ornaments. 😂😂😂

People are so bloody rude and disrespectful.

They are. Do you think they stand there all night? The real kings guards are dressed in police uniforms. These guys are reenactors showing the public what it was like in the pre-gunpowder era

Absolutely correct, they are doing a job as said they may have been deployed overseas, I get angry seeing tourists pull the reins and touch the guard, they are on duty for the King, not dressing up to play to the crowd. 🇦🇺

@@susanevans9134 - I agree totally 👍🏻🇦🇺

From 🇺🇸 to 🇬🇧

@@susanevans9134 I agree. It's so disrespectful. These tourist must be emerging from their lives under rocks.

Even the little kid on the horse?

Especially the daddy's little boy who tattled. OMG poor little man was shouted at...he's taller that the guard and his daddy...seriously!

Same with idiots in America at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The rules are simple, but there's always someone who thinks that they are THAT special... 🙄

Its offensive and frightening oh what's the point

Boundries...boundries...boundries!

Me neither.

Charge the horse at the twats, then I would go oops sorry not

That's why you're not working there and they are Karen.

@@juliecobbina2024 SHUT UP virtue signaling say "karen" every chance you get...and look you YOU rudie...Ms. Karen.

That's why I no longer work in the public sector. I have zero tolerance for rudeness and entitlement.

I got so fed up with rude ignorant abusive stupid people I got a totally different job where I never deal with people at all . From the moment I arrive at work until I leave I am all alone and have absolutely no regrets

And the horse's poor sensitive ears. They hear much better than we do. That screaming is probably unpleasant.

​@@fluffylittlebearthe screaming isn't the worst part for the horses. It's whenever the guard has to tug on the reins to get the person to let go, it rips into the horses head. Those bits have alot of leverage, so 1 pound of pressure from the guard is 5 pounds of pressure in the horses mouth

@@fluffylittlebear You disrespectful people should be yelled at often and worse you are so THICK in the head! Try researching the King's Guards and horses, you might learn something. The horses all know THEY are not being yelled at. The Guards have no reason to yell at the horses, just the ignorant tourists. you need to learn how much these horses are well cared for, trained, and loved. Horses also get a holiday at the seashore to play as they wish. Something anyone would not know unless they have a keen interest in the UK, and her customs and traditions. that includes all the Guards at all the palaces! Specially trained!

Yes but the horses are not a to be touched they are not toys. I own a horse and are very beautiful creatures they are not pets at a petting zoo. Bloody tourists are a menace I get them asking stupid questions all the time were I work in Tokyo. Do you really leave your brains at home??

There are also tourist who respect the guards

I like when the guard gives a little jerk on the reigns and the horse yanks his head up and the tourists get freaked out.

Well the king’s guards won’t exist much longer as these third worlders are the inheritors of what was formerly known as England.

How do you know you've respected it if you don't know the cultural protocol? You could've offended them for all you know. These people aren't told anything about the reins and they're openly allowed to stand next to the horses, mixed messages. If they were serious they'd just ban the tourists from standing that close but they don't cos tourist dollars. It's a double standard.

Canadians behave well everywhere, we all know that hahaha.

@@hectormelendez3812 except in the ice hockey arena

@@user-et6pj4db9s I am also a Canadian. We have the superpower of reading notices on the walls and not antagonizing blokes paid to carry sabers unsheathed. Now you know!

@@MrToubrouk except they're not trying to antagonise them they're led to believe they can pose with the horse unimpeded, now we know the rules cos we speak english and might know military protocol but they don't cos the sign is in english and doesn't actually list the protocols just says beware horses biting. You can't have it both ways either you want the tourist dollars in which case they need to be clearer about the rules and put it up in different languages not just english or the simpler solution, ban people from doing this and even better don't have horses out the front, put them under the arches.

Just once I'd like to see sword brought down toward arm maybe a light touch..be willing to bet a good hard sweep of that sword could relieve the rude person of his or her hand

Every time I watch these stupid they don't realise these men are real soldiers who have gone to War for the King of Britain and would take their Head off without a minutes hesitation. They have seen Death and looked it in the eye for the King so get out of their way you idiots. They are good brave men who love this Country and it's people !!

I fully agree. Acting the fool and so juvenile. What about the parents pushing their children to stand next to a 1,200 to 1,400-lb animal while they are frightened. Thick!

Remove all safety warnings and let nature take its course

I kept thinking, I wonder what that tourist would do if someone came forward and petted their face.

Blame that on the people making the decision to put those animals into that situation. It's all a side show anyway.

​@@anitamiller7960a show? They are allowed to kill if someone is dangerous

@@anitamiller7960 Those animals are trained soldiers. Ever heard of crowd control? Ever heard of Police dogs? Same thing, These tourists do NOT have the right to do what they want because the paid for a ticket.

@@brokeinmichiganl3921 Trained soldiers? Ever heard of B.S.?

Yup !!!

or seen a horse

There are no barriers. This is on a public road ,at the entrance to Horseguards,HQ of the British Army. Barriers could cause a greater danger,narrowing the pavement and creating an obstacle for horse and pedestrian.

Put a stop to stupidity is an impossibility. There is a sign with a clear warning beside each horse guard. And even without a sign, a soldier on a horse is definitely not a pet. What do they want to show by touching the horse or even the reins? That they are in control? Ridiculous.

@@johannabaumgartner Anyone imagining that an elite soldier guarding the King would give them control of his or her horse isn't thinking straight.

​​@@johannabaumgartnerThe sign oughtta say something like "Do not touch the horse or guard - maintain a respectful distance" rather than simply "horses may kick or bite. Thank you!"

​@@gryaznygreeb Yes, the guards may have to use more explicit signs if it gets worse. They are trying to be polite with their current sign. I like the words that you suggested.

Yeah me too. She got what she deserved.

My horse bit the back of my arm, the tender, fleshy part. Omg did I scream lol! He didn’t like having his hooves cleaned boy did he let me know. I was bruised for a month.

He totally did it on purpose!

Way to go, horse!🤣💕🇦🇺

I've never seen a horse behave so much like a cat!

Especially when he thought he might have excrement on his best white going out trainers!

​@@emmahampson7884Lol yes 💕..

Those walkabouts with the royals get me anxious too. Too much trust out there across the pond.

The horse guard is sitting there with a sword and a horse that can be ordered to charge. It would take seconds for the other guards to swarm a threatening situation. They are elite soldiers and their remit is protecting the Palace. I think they can be trusted to deal with tourists and terrorists. That's what they're trained for.

@@heatherchandler1184 The trust is a national treasure. They have fewer incidents than anywhere in the world. If they turn into a paranoid nation or the Royal Family can't walk around safely as they do, it's game over for the UK. The Royal Guard are elite soldiers. They are highly trained to guard the Palace and the Royal Family.

@@stefashaler8340 that’s a beautiful way to put it. I’m across the pond and you know how it is out here lol

@@heatherchandler1184 I know. It's a lifetime learning curve to understand each others cultures.

These guards are at Horseguards HQ of the British Army not a Royal Residence.

The crown ist protected bei scotland yard. Changing the guard are ceremonial dutys.

Then why dress them up like that

@@analouis3319 they are an old regiment,dating back to the 1640's. This is their ceremonial uniform . Normally they wear modern multi-cam( as you can see when troopers do welfare visits to horses and troopers)

What rubbish. They are there as Royal PR Corps😊... on a horse with a sword is a fat lot of good when a bomber detonates himself...

Personally, I think if I were a King's Guard, that I would actually use the tip of the sword to pinch the annoying tourists' asses😁.

They do a great job 👏

And it is hard work, standing still for a long time. Respect.

Agree 100%. Lack of respect for the horse and guardsman. These people are really stupid.

Fortunately only 1 hour.

Why do they all feel the need to put their grubby little hands all over the horses?

Why plagiarize a comment ?

How could you respect some idiot dressed up like that. They’re job is getting photos taken dressed up like a clown

Yes we do rosie I thought the same thing just no respect whatsoever !!

It seems that it is wide-spread everywhere.

A broadside across the arse with the flat side of a sabre would deliver some kind of message.

Thats what liberalism gives you.

The weird guy who put his hand on the guards coat , not the horse .., the horse soon told him to sod off lol .. Horses seem incredibly loyal to their guards . Well done horse 👍🦋🙏👍🙏🦋🦋👍

@@Oozaru85 Nothing to do with 'libralism', just ignorance around horses and the fact not all are aware it's a working barracks.

I agree, these men and horses are not ornaments, they are soldiers and should be respected. These tourist idiots make me sck.

EXACTLY

Probably because they think they’re props or toys. They don’t take them seriously. Even when they’re being yelled at. They don’t respect them as soldiers with a job to do because they’re not actively moving. Probably a lot of stupid reasons.

Buckingham Palace is a tourist attraction. The Horse Guards are a part of that. These elite soldiers understand that. They want tourists to enjoy themselves as long as it's safe. The guards know how to handle whatever situation arises. Fortunately the horses and riders have one hour shifts to support their good will and patience.

That wouldnt be very friendly. The people dont mean any harm. If you went into a museum, would you rather see the artifacts behind glass or have police following and threatening you as you walk around?

RickySmyth .... With respect, I can't believe you said that. An incredibly rude, ignorant small minority of tourists making a nuisance of themselves and upsetting the guardsmen and their horses. A total lack of respect. If you look at the comments, most people agree with me. Disgusting behaviour from these idiot tourists. I think you would find that (my fellow) British visitors would never do this. Generally, we are too polite to behave in this way. The police have every right to step in and stop this anti-social and dangerous behaviour.

​@@rickysmyth.... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT !!!??? .... Read everyone's comments on this highly disrespectful behaviour by a handful of idiot tourists. British people wouldn't behave like this.

​@@rickysmyth it is not comparable to a museum, these are the kings military. Would you go to the white house and grab at the guards????

No, they should use their sword instead

Great idea. The tourists don't even seem to realize these are elite soldiers protecting the Palace and they are definitely not going to allow anyone to take control of their horse.
