[@renehorne5792]

I didn't see any armed officers rushing to check the reins of the horse. Many thanks to the tourist who spotted an issue that we might not have been able to see from the video.

[@saffanna4001]

Where on earth did this happen? Tourist rushes to show there's something wrong with the reins??? At what exact point in the video???

[@sarahlogan942]

I’ve noticed the horses quite often are biting on the bit a lot in quite a lot of the videos I’ve watched, that’s a sign of nervousness or discomfort. Why are these horses constantly put in situations like this? Who wants to be hounded by tourists 24/7, we as humans wouldn’t want that, so why put a horse through that?

[@kimcallaghan3404]

Or its just a horse playing with the bit like many do when standing still tacked up

[@shirleyanneyoung955]

The horse isn’t out 24/7, why on earth would you think that?

[@user-ld4xq9nh3s]

​@shirleyanneyoung955 how would you know are you there 24 /7. No you are not this horse is clearly stressed about something.

[@shirleyanneyoung955]

@@user-ld4xq9nh3s Bless your heart sweetie, it’s so cute that you think I’d need to be there 24/7 to know that each horse isn’t out there 24/7. 🤣🤣🤣 Fact - the horses are changed every hour in front of anyone and everyone who happens to be watching at the time. Fact - no horses are out all night, so no 24/7 duty. I think the last horse comes in at either 4 or 5 pm. It’ll all be documented on google somewhere, you could have found it out for yourself since you were so concerned for this fictional horse who was on duty 24/7. And you thought I’d need to be there 24/7 to know what goes on, oh dear. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@elizabethrider22]

They are on duty one hour per day......and I don't know if it's daily.

[@carolwilliams7052]

👉 The training and patience of the horses is always astonishing !!! 💙🐴💙

[@bronniepaterson4694]

The guard should of realised that the horses “ bit” had moved…luckily it seem the horse managed to relocate it back in place….🇬🇧👍

[@kathellison8084]

Didn't see any " rushing " and there was nothing wrong with his reins , the lady Trooper is one of the most experienced and a superb horsewoman if anything was wrong she would know .

[@madeleinegombert661]

I agree with you.

[@calaannkihata]

Welll this lady Trooper is having an "off" day then; because shes making some rookie mistakes. Ill fitting tack is the issue. The bit is way to large for this horses mouth. 8:46, 9:10, 9:17 time stamps show how big the bit is. Its causing the horse discomfort. He keeps chomping at the bit and moving around because he's trying to get it positioned better in his mouth, in the center of his mouth. The bit keeps moving side to side. A smaller sized bit will not allow side to side movement like that. And then you can hear metal clanging together. Thats from this large bit clanging against the snaffle bit behind it. With this being a double bridle, it's crucial that proper fit and proper sized bits are being used. If not, this can cause sores and blisters inside the horses mouth and around the lip area. And then the next thing is that her swords sheath was getting in the way of her left spur. She was trying to back him back into the guard house and he wasn't reponding to her leg cues on the left side. When she does get him back inside, you will see her look down at her left boot a couple of times, baffled why he wasn't responding to her cue. These are all basic things that even least experienced riders should know. When those people mentioned the reins, what was happening was that the bit slid all the way to the riders right side, causing the ornate metal cheekpiece on the left to go into the horses mouth. Thats the whole reason why the horse was being fussy and agitated.

[@jillp3761]

Something IsWrong with the tack .... the martingale strap connecting to the headstall is NOT connected properly , it should be connected to the same ring the silver chain is. Someone goofed and the horse suffered. I suspect that someone will be read the riot act 😢

[@jillp3761]

Didn't look like the inspection caught the problem either..... not good....

[@ScarletWildRose]

Looked ok to me. He was chomping at the bit and ready to get off duty. Known the feeling.

[@onebrneyedbeauty1]

There had to be something wrong that horse was very figgity and kept chewing on something like it was bothering him.

[@jacquibradley1598]

I was so grateful, in 1980 to see the Queen at Horse Guards Parade, will be with me forever, these men are the Epitome of Soldiers, thank you. greetings from Ex-pat in Cyprus. 🙏🙏🤗🤗

[@lyndaditty3623]

I did not see any swift Acton ?

[@jacksonlinda5919]

Re: the headline. Nobody was "swift", nobody "RUSHed", and nobody pointed out that this poor horse was in obvious distress. SHAME!

[@user-lr6qp8ti4q]

Stop being so afraid of doing your job.

[@lori4804]

Those horses are treated better than most people. The guards always make sure they protect the horses with every person that goes near them. You can hear them over and over telling people not to touch the horse, don't feed them, don't touch the reins. For the people who can't read the sign. God bless everyone and the guards who not only protect the Royal family but their horses also.

[@elainebach394]

You can😢see he's in pain. Pawing and chewing and shaking his head. Poor horses. 😢

[@carmelapentifallo8823]

Horse bit not right and he still don’t go in right away now his mouth will hurt.And the cop don’t get anyone still to help horse

[@diamondwhite1]

Those horses are magnificent 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@ce1581]

Could anyone tell me why they dont use rubber shoes i know they exist and it seems like being on hard surface it would be more healthy for the joints ?

[@retamathis2395]

Why are they not fixing the mouth piece you can see its bothering the horse

[@maryholder3795]

The lady trooper was trying to reassure the horse until the police eventually arrivied and the tourist who asked if the trooper needed help. Looks like it was a tack problem the horse had. The Captain or the Lieutenant asked questions more than anyone else. A nit late in the day. But the lady trooper is very experienced with any horse she rides. What is it about that left hand box that upset some of the horse when using that box.

[@gaynordonnelly8966]

❤ all these posts makes me want to go to London for a weekend

[@coldspring624]

I have always been a sucker for dapple grays. They can be stunning .

[@KiwiGirl1]

I call them rocking horses 😅 beautiful 😍

[@marilynstevens679]

That horse is in pain, what are you talking about, something is definately wrong because he is trying to get his bit out of his mouth...

[@cindylively9544]

He had his tongue over his bit the rider should have noticed this its very uncomfortable for the horse

[@francisconti9085]

Why I prefer bit-less ..

[@suzanneterrey4499]

This may well indicate the bridle is too loose and needs to be cinched up a notch on the strap going down the check. Also checking that the bit is in the mouth properly in between the teeth.

[@rogercharlebois1645]

I think they should have someone come around more often to clean the horse shit from the guard post poor horses have to stand in that to long !!!!

[@homey3051]

Something is wrong with the bit in the horse's mouth

[@jeandryden1062]

This program is always a mess as they never show you what is supposed to have happened. It's a scam always.

[@trishstikkelman7129]

Great to see ty for your service 💂🐎🌟🤗💖

[@Joyfullscroll]

Nice clear day. 👍

[@theguardsdaily]

Thanks 👍

[@Ronin4614]

There is a small cadre of video makers here. It is not uncommon for them to take note a mount giving it’s trooper a hard time and tipping off the police about it. The same is true foe Gates-man too, I know John of London City Walks is a frequent aid.

[@graceyoakum8863]

So much yelling. Such an easy solution. Paint and half circle with a beautiful Crest. The Tourists are not to cross and horses have something to look at.

[@daffydill5590]

If you blow up the picture. You can see the chain coming down around horses chest, is caught under the rein that attaches under the horses neck.

[@kathellison8084]

That's not a rein its the breastplate that is attached to the saddle to stop it slipping , the chain is a tether chain used to attach the horses to a line in campaign days so they could be fed and watered safely together . It will cause no problems .

[@kimcallaghan3404]

​@@kathellison8084exactly its a tie down and is not causing any concern

[@heathercampbell8848]

Why do the troopers wack the necks n sides of horse .... sometimes seem quite a hard wack

[@keithdenyer3937]

I think it's not necessary, the horse knows the routine when the rider will dismount, sometimes it's a whack and three quarters.

[@rosemariemann1719]

Part of the routine, "Hey, horse, I'm getting off now.."(loud whack on hotse's neck)🤚. Horse : " Yes, yes, I know ! And stop whacking so hard, please ! Struth, that was a boring hour in that smelly box.. Trojan's peed in there again....." See you back at the stable, get this metal thing out of my mouth ..😠. how would you like it?" Are the oats ready ? I want berry granola..." 🇬🇧🐎🌹🐎💙😢🐎🇬🇧

Poor horse, how long do they have to stand there in little cubby hole thing?

[@sueshoker]

They are only there for one hour xx

[@sandrawells7665]

I dont like this slapping bit that they do to the horses

[@joyceroberts3886]

Seems that the big beauty had an issue and was a wee bit stressed about something. Brilliant control by the guard

[@glendacarpenter4433]

why do they slap the horse?

[@KiwiGirl1]

To let the horse know the weight is shifting (I'm assuming you're referring to the dismount?) Cheers 😊

[@2ndhandSue]

There definitely IS something wrong with the reins set-u[p. Those bits they use seem like theyre 10 times too large for the horse and they actually gag occasionall when

[@liza8423]

The horse was getting restless! Poor horse...

[@tonisuesmith6125]

The reins are caught on his chest .but there was no one rushing to help and no one pointed anything out. They weren't to far from changing the guards . the horse is fighting the bit. Ready to go . the guard was more worried about his boot being scuffed than his horse being in stressed as they were getting ready to go

[@kimcallaghan3404]

The reins are not caught up on his chest, thats a tie down that goes from the throat latch on the bridle to the breast collar

[@asanablue]

Beautiful video. 💜

[@catherinembott9257]

At last it is 4pm i can get out of here

[@wendycatucci9923]

Just a bait to click on the story

[@foots-qt4pk]

The man said something was wrong with the positioning of the bit, not the reins.

[@carolrose3367]

WHAT DID THE ARMED OFFICERS DO? THE HORSE IS VERY STRESSED,

[@Suspan1]

Nothing, as per usual!

[@keithdenyer3937]

Uniforms shiny and clean, sword same, but the building needs a coat of paint and filler, not to mention the shit in the arch the horses have to stand in! What sort of display is it when dirty in front of public? So many times these horses play up, and no wonder in these conditions and often with a wrongly placed bit, as in this case. As with any horse, if a rider is on it, it is more comfortable for the horse to walk about than to be standing almost still, for some time especially an hour! If you try carrying a load on your back, in proportion to your size , of course and stand still it wont be as easy as walking , circulation and alternative muscles in use. Now if they were to have rottweiler guards, not the riders although some sound like they are, they would not have to remove them as soon as a protest came along, nor would any visitor go near them.

[@lesliebaker8123]

The buildings are not painted .

[@conchhead1]

This is not the first time these horses have resins problems. These horse are always working their mouth in distressed.

[@aj529]

His tongue is over his bit.

[@asanablue]

What exactly is wrong with reins. He has a martingale on. But I don't see it. It is not your job.

[@johnburns2458]

are theses Met Officers ? if so how do you know the difference?

Thought the dismount was a bit sloppy by the second guard.
