Witness a heartwarming act of kindness as the King's Guard, with incredible thoughtfulness, moves his horse a little closer to a special lady at Horse Guards. ❤ 🇬🇧

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

I see the Guard also doesn’t allow his horse to nibble on the little Children and except for the person in the wheelchair- all the adults were fair game for his horse. Lol. Also- horses are a good judge of character or rather - humans energy. This particular horse wastes no time reacting to someone it doesn’t want near. Other people are just fine and get no nippy reaction. Kinda funny actually 🙂. But I’ve spent a fair amount of time with and riding horses, so there is that. No expert however.. just observant.

[@cathy3613]

Either way it is a show of respect

It is seeing this guard's reaction to the man in the wheelchair that shows how kind he is. Thanks.

[@boblouden6663]

@@GeorgeAlexa just remember that he is a trained assassin, smiling one minute killing the next. That's what the tourists should remember.these guys are trained to kill,and some will have most likely in Afghanistan.

[@sandywa3057]

Animals show more empathy than people do most of the time. My son is autistic and takes riding therapy, the horse he rides every week is so incredibly gentle with my son. It’s so heartwarming to see.

[@gerrimitchell4303]

The horse has more compassion that some humans. God bless it's big gentle heart, and the guard who trusted his mount to allow the gesture

[@gaydenmaccallum508]

When I wS in Lindon as a tourist years ago we went to St.James palace. I asked the guard if I could have a picture taken with him. He didn't say anything but inclined his head towards me & the picture was taken. I thanked him as I left. Never hurts to be polite & respectful to others. These guards & horses are very kind & respectful to the hordes of tourists.

Vos fuiste parte de esa horda😅😅

[@pdhunt96]

Respect shown by the slightest of head nod and the returned thanks from the woman! Well done, sir!

Brought a little tear to the eyes of an old soldier.That horse really likes people,well done the guard as well.

[@michelleheiss7630]

Looks like the horse loves children

[@JamVee]

You can always tell which people are afraid of the horses and which are not . . . The horse knows it instinctively!

[@Insperato62]

And despite her responsibilities, the carer took the time to thank the guard. Oh that everyone was so courteous.

[@dawnmguzman]

The calm that came over the horse when greeting that woman almost made me cry! She seemed also calmer. Beautiful video.

[@Ollybus]

That was beautiful. The horse just knew the person in the wheelchair was special (as did the guard).

[@FRanceSource]

The horse just knew!! The guard, bless his heart for being the compassionate guard he is.

[@patneville2798]

That horse knew he had to be gentle with the person in the wheelchair! He kept his head still and gently got close to the person!

[@alibi247]

I got the impression that it was the horse moving independently and sensitively towards the person in the wheelchair rather than the guard moving the horse. Look how gentle it is.

[@dianapeek6936]

The Guard is in control at all times, if you watch the Guards hands VERY CAREFULLY.

[@qwipperty]

The guard was in control, but the horse knew there was something different about the woman. You can see the horse was inquisitive and soft in its movements there, too.

[@funshine817]

Yes, I just said the same thing. Horses are magnificent creatures! ❤

Yo es que a alguno lo ponía a limpiar las cuadras, no se puede molestar a los caballos y caballeros que realizan un trabajo tan duro y que encima los demás piensen que están como en un cuento de hadas, siéntanse 4 o 5 horas encima de un caballo y cuando se puedan bajar porque les dejen, me cuentan como tienen el esqueleto y el del caballo por aguantar 80 o 90 kilos y eso siendo delgados, no tienen respeto porque son guapos los caballos y caballeros y están muy bien vestidos, pero detrás de esa apreciación hay un gran sacrificio y mucho trabajo; ¡¡¡POR FAVOR, IMPIDAN QUE ESOS SERES LLAMADOS TURISTAS INCOMODEN A LOS TRABAJADORES DEL ESTADO, ¿O ALGUN DESNORTADO SE INTENTARIA HACER FOTOS CON UN TRABAJADOR DETRAS DE UNA VENTANILLA EN UN MINISTERIO? pued es lo mismo, pero más duro todavía, respeten a los hermosos animales que forman una estampa tan bonita con su guardia encima y que tanto sufren y que si hace falta, sufrir más, lo harán pagando incluso con su vida, ¡¡¡MAS RESPETO A LA GUARDIA INGLESA!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

About 2.10 in you can see the deft control of the trooper when a child is being held nearby, just to stop the horse nosing too much like it had to others. The control these soldiers have of their mounts is amazing, especially as many have never ridden before joining the H Cav

As a Yank (w/ Somerset ancestors) I have watched many of these videos at Horse Guards, seeing the Guards engage with countless acts of kindness, especially to those with life-challenges. So, I cannot understand the apathy or incitement of tourists who show bad behavior….common sense might suggest better judgment….but….

[@amadeusendymion1272]

Which is the aptness of posting these videos; we get to see all kinds of people reacting in all kinds of ways. We see different horses, different troopers. All within the context the interface between security and public. So much insight if you care to spend the time to think.

[@ConnyNordlicht]

A little gesture - and I thik that woman noticed the horse close and kind. It'll have been g❤ood for her. So I thank that Queen's soldier. He isn't allowed to do so but he did, having listened to his heart. Has been so right! Thank you so much!

[@jasminebean5762]

It amazes me how few people engage with the horses, treating them like statues. At the beginning of this video you see a man stroking the horses nose, no doubt he got a wonderful photo, engaging with the horse with it's ears forward, a sign of a happy horse. While the others got a photo of a horse nudging them and grabbing their clothes, with his ears back. Horses are sociable animals who when they are not upset about something like being talked to and stroked, this horse is obviously friendly and wants to engage with people who don't even look at it or say hello.

The act of kindness was shown in such a delicate and tender way by both horse and guard, a true pleasure to witness. Something I will remember is that all animals have the in-built sense of compassion. Unfortunately my mother suddenly passed on the exact day of that footage, but what is strange is that her dog, passed naturally almost 24hrs prior to my mothers, almost knowing her time was up. Double tragedy
