She was not arrested because she didn’t hurt the horse. It was actually started out as a playful banter as the horse was interested in whatever was in her coat pocket. The way the horse stood up was hilarious. It wasn’t until the woman lifted her hand in a more aggressive manner where the guard stepped in.

Imo, she failed a social grace and was punished for it more than sufficiently by being publicly yelled at like a child, and then potentially humiliated/permanently disgraced via video on the internet.. where you all as her very wilful demons will attempt to forever accuse her and label her with names and mental conditions that aren't her own. Quite possible that she simply felt experienced in controlling unruly horses and exercised her practice on a horse that was not her own. This is a social faux pas to be sure and an excess of boldness perhaps, but I think that her public scolding was already enough as the consequence to her error.

Guard shows much restraint! A real pro! Imagine, having to deal with idiot tourists every day, while controlling a horse and having to wear that ridiculous helmet/oversize tassel combo!

[@JMD1965]

In all honesty, this easy access to the King's Guards needs to end for everyone concerned, but ESPECIALLY those doing their duty with these animals. If people CAN NOT behave themselves, then they need to be kept back and away with CLEARLY identified, modernly armed security present.... 'Tradition' and 'Tourism' be DAMNED!!

[@michelleanderson8370]

That was shocking! At a minimum it was animal abuse and at maximum a physical assault on a member of the King's Guard. She should have been arrested and charged to the maximum

[@kgu1735]

A kid who takes a picture next to a Horse because Everyone does it and then is the unlucky one who the horse doesn‘t like. She doesn‘t know how to deal with horses and is propably a Little scared. Of course her reaction is wrong but an armed officer telling her, what she did was wrong is gonna have a good Effect. „charged to the maximum“ my ass, think about what you say before you say it

What a lot of tourists do not seem to realize is that the guards and horses are working. They are not there for show and pictures. And the gall of this particular woman, the horse clearly showed that she was too in his space and instead of realizing the horses signals or even caring for them and moves away, she slaps the horse instead. There should be a law that just like attacking the guards, attacking the horses should be against the law too. Respect to the guard and horse combo!!!

[@cosmicjustice4139]

She didn't exactly SLAP the horse in the face though. The horse was interested in brushing up against her for whatever reason. She waved it away and gave it a tap when the horse continued. It's a natural reaction. The guard reacted appropriately to end the situation, the girl stepped off, and the police moved the crowds back. What more do you want? The guard knew it wasn't entirely her fault. People calling for her to be arrested are nuts. If she had actually SLAPPED the horse it'd be a different story.

[@rebeccapiamonte]

So far, you're the only fair commentator. I don't know this girl or the horse 😆, but this was not a slap! She probably had food in her pocket and the horse was interested--not an international incident. The title is so misleading!

There's a reason they are disrespected. It's about changing the easy access to have pictures with them. They don't as the establishment exists because of tourism these days. There for they are just props in people's pictures. They need to get new jobs if they don't want to be.

[@hazelangus]

@@DS-tj1vh I actually wonder if the fact that tourists annoy the crap out of them is part of the job. I mean, intrinsically part of the job. Not just that it happens all the time but that it's adding to their skills and training, or at least keeping their existing skills sharp. They need to be able to tell the difference between when to react and when not to, when a weapon may be drawn and when not, etc. When they're on a tour of duty overseas in a hostile environment, dealing with civilians is very much part of the job. They have to be able to keep their nerve and focus on what their particular task is. They may be surrounded by people who might not be aggressive in terms of being unsafe, but may be speaking languages the soldier doesn't understand, and there may be a lot of background noise. They need to be able to react appropriately in any situation, and I can imagine that dealing with annoying tourists is a transferable skill.
