[@juliethorpe2739]

I feel for the Guard who was thrown off his horse and the horse that was injured. I think it’s about time these poor horses and guards are shown more respect and stop the incessant constant touching and teasing the horses all the time. I think the horses have had enough. Give them space for goodness sake. Hope theGuard and horses are ok.

Five horses bolted today, one Grey was covered in blood after collision with a car or bus four others were found and held by members of the public and one of those was found 5 miles away in East London. A trooper seems to have been badly hurt and some members of the public. Several vehicles were damaged also. This is the worst incident with these horses since the IRA bombing and murder. When fifteen mounted soldiers of the Household Cavalry were in Hyde Park on their way to change the guard near Buckingham Palace when a remote-controlled car bomb was detonated, blasting them with nails and other shrapnel. Four men and seven horses were killed, and many more were injured. Sefton, one of the horses was peppered with shrapnell but managed to gallop back through traffic to Knightsbridge Barracks and his own stall.

Other cars were damaged too, so poor horse's must be hurt. Hope all horse's and their riders made a full recovery. X

[@heatherharvey3129]

Separate incident that just so happened to occur on the same morning. The Household Cavalry consists of two mounted regiments, the Life Guards regiment in the red uniform, with white helmet plume, and the Blues and Royals regiment in the dark blue uniform with red plume. Today is change over between the regiments on guard duty at Horse Guards on Whitehall where this was filmed. Normally, the relieving "Short Guard" (called that because it has fewer horses and doesn't have either a mounted trumpeter on a grey horse along or an NCO carrying the regimental colour) arrives, having ridden up from Hyde Park Barracks where the Household Cavalry based in London. They arrive at the parade ground which is on the other side of the tunnel, there's a quick salute, with usually only 5 horses coming into the stable so that they can then relieve the 2 horses already on duty and also change the foot guards on duty at the 2 gates inside the yard. Once that is done, the relieved guards take their horses out onto the parade ground where they join the other half of the regiment before there's the formal salute/exchange of regiments and the rest of the relieving regiment come into the yard and stables. The relieved regiment then rides back to Hyde Park Barracks. Clearly, there was a big problem when the LIfe Guards relieving Short Guard arrived at the parade ground, with troopers thrown and horses running free and possibly injured. It all appears to have occurred on the Parade Ground at Horse Guards. The injured trooper who walked in had clearly fallen onto the sand of the parade ground. The horses running through London were from an earlier incident which happened near Victoria Station, closer to Hyde Park, but not on the route taken by the this relieving Life Guards Short Guard. It was horrible seeing the distressed and injured horses from that incident and the more severely injured trooper who appeared to have fallen onto the concrete median strip in the middle of the road. The grey that was bleeding so badly had hit the front windscreen of a bus I think.

Woll they everstop the rudness with the guards and the horses its really getting out of hand king charles my needs to come check this all out maybe then things will change

[@anamariecameron7874]

people need to understand that these are not regular horses they have been trained to do a job and they can get every high energy

[@annmurry1628]

If you asked if you can take a photo of these working horses just stand near them with out getting to close to them and please do it quickly and quiet because if you are to loud you can scare these hard working horses

[@elainebrown5586]

All these comments about the tourists touching the horses etc. it’s not an incident related to the horses in the boxes but horses in the parade ground.

[@monicawarner4091]

Some of the comments which don't mention tourists are totally ridiculous too!

[@angelabushby1891]

Could they not have delaed dumping the cement untill the horses had passed,commen sense.

[@juliadove1006]

I wondered if the dropping of the concrete at that particular time was purely coincidental. But of course we shall never know. I’ve experienced bored workmen intentionally making a loud noise when I was riding by. I don’t think it was malicious, just ignorant

[@sharonlooney6801]

If the king would charge everyone a dollar for every picture then they would have a good bit of money

[@TerryM-dk3kr]

Maybe if there was a painted ground border around the horse and signs of being arrested or fined for disturbing the guard or horse

[@christinalogan311]

My thoughts are with the Household Cavalry, they are hurting . 💔

[@beatrizospina2818]

Se supone que es un país "civilizado". Cómo puede ser posible que todavía seamos testigos del maltrato animal sobretodo en ese país?. Da vergüenza ajena 🥺

[@helenhallwood3580]

Thanks Kath. I do wonder whst what her sons would think of her comments, buy that's not my problem. I judt don't like being accused of stuff I know nothing about. But hey ho

If you see these horse guards going through training they take many falls.

[@kevincook5837]

Grew up raising and training horses in Texas. Unfortunately, sometimes things happen then horse and/or rider gets hurt. Most of the time, it’s fine. Just goes with horsemanship. Notice the sign, “Beware, Sometimes Horses Will Kick Or Bite”. Best not invade a horse and rider’s personal space unless invited. That horse has good patience and manners to not reach over and bite someone’s ear off.

Think the hoses need a vacation !

[@joycewetherbee7421]

Can someone tell me why some of the mounted guards wear black uniform coats and others wear red? Are they different units? The plumes in the helmets are different too.

[@SkyrisUK]

Its about time they put a stop to this circus act. its long outdated and the ignorant tourists dont respect the tradition, so who the hell is it for ?

[@davevincent5453]

Won’t be long before they will install barriers because of some of the stupid tourists

[@jenniferbeyer6412]

I have wondered why the Guards don't use "EZBOOTS"? They cover the hoof completely, and are made from rubber like car tires. They can prevent horses from slipping on the pavement, and falling. A horse slipping and falling can cause cuts, bruises, and worst of all broken legs. And the riders won't be thrown if the horse slips. The horse in this incident fell on the right side, lots of dirt on the side. Hope he is not hurt bad. And hopefully the Guard is ok too. Please give an update on their condition.
