[@battles146]

John, in answer to your question about a horse's mouth strengthen - The jaw strength (masseter muscle) of a horse is about 500 psi (pounds per square inch) Humans are usually less than 200 psi, while a Pit Bull measures 235 psi (#3 dog breed in jaw strength) Because of the great deal of force exerted by an equine in closing its jaws, the severity of injuries may range from mild superficial pressure trauma, cutaneous breaks of the skin, deep lacerations with loss of tissue, and injuries to blood vessels and nerves, to amputations of digits and fractures. If you are bitten and it breaks the skin, clean the site thoroughly with soap and water, before covering with a sterile dressing. If the bite is over a joint, hand, foot, or a prosthetic device, a doctor should be considered immediately because antibiotics are most likely indicated to ward off an infection. You did the right thing in getting her to be checked out by the MOD police! If a horse is pinning his ears at you because you haven't earned his respect and trust. The gentle, yet determined nudge, or shove, of a horse's nose can mean a greeting, denote a desire, or convey an intent. We can attribute human phrases like “Hey, who are you”, “Do you have something for me”, “What's this?” or even the more cheeky “Move along” to the nudging of a horse's nose. hope this information helps a bit - The horse guards are NOT an amusement park or petting zoo - I really thought a child would get hurt this past weekend with the rate of 'child danger' incidents filmed by you and a couple other youtubers - maybe the MOD should take a more active role in advising tourists of certain potential dangers or the guard being able to warn tourists/parents to stay back, not crowd his/her horse when it's not in the best of moods -

[@eilidhsomerville5554]

The MoD are on record as saying the horses can be petted and I am sick of people for berating others for not knowing horse body language. They can turn from having relaxed/pricked ears to snaking, pinning and biting in the blink of an eye. It is time they stopped using the horses!

[@miriamlefel5591]

Totally Agree. They should Stop using Horse's. The Horse's must get so sick of being touched and also having to stand there for long periods with a rider on its back. Its well known that this is not good for the Horse's back. Plus the Horse's get bord and frustrated which can lead to bitting.

[@SalyLuz-hc6he]

@@miriamlefel5591 These horses stand guard for a maximum of 1 hour out of 24, And then usually this is only for one day out of three! While these Are working animals, it is not too stressful of a job for them to do one hour out of a 24 hour period.

Think the reason you have such a great audience is because even through the camera, your genuine concern and respect for the horses, guards, and the people are always shining through. Today is no exception. Why so many of us flock to your channel.

[@maryelyse5633]

A horse is capable of biting off a finger, nose, ear, tearing out hair and scalp, snapping a neck, or that lady was pinched and could have had a chunk of meat removed. Horses cant see directly under their head, or behind butt. Adults and especially children should never stand either place. Horses spook easy, and they can move fast, resulting in injury or death to a person in the wrong place. Bored, or spoiled horses can also be giant toddlers. I use to use a spritz of palmed breath spray to teach horses not to bite. Not toxic, not cruel, they didnt associate the minty fresh breath from a human as I didnt say a word. It always took one or 2 times only to learn. I even taught the Police departments mounted horse trainer that trick. Many people make a game of it while thinking they're training against it. All that slapping at the horse does is make a horse head shy or snappy back. And yes, they can snap bones. Just because they eat vegetables, doesnt mean that cant kill meat. Girl was lucky.

[@TracyMomof2]

@maryelyse5633 Yup. .we had horses growing up, and I've seen a lot, including when a donkey but a guys finger off clear down to the first knuckle. And trained or not, I don't get near a horses rear. The length and speed of those rear legs is nothing short of a combination of Flash and Mr. Stretch superpowers.

[@uk2mama]

I had no clue that they would help and even took her in to get treatment. That is above and beyond. Good job everyone even you to be so kind and help out. Its nice that the police know you and you are there to help public in the way you do.

[@nestpeeper]

To her credit the young lady didn't try to pull away from the horse when he chomped her. That likely saved her from it breaking skin. She will have a nasty bruise but a heck of a story.

[@libbyharper9293]

I'm so glad she didn't scream. I used too teach riding lessons and it would drive me crazy when parents forced their kids into lessons and they were terrified of every move the horses made and would jump or squeal in terror. I spent so much time having to educate them how to act and remain calm around horses. I'm sorry she got hurt but it wasn't surprising the way the horse was acting before this incident. As others have said, the horse gave plenty of warnings. Great job in helping her and with your videos!

[@dianapeek6936]

The Chinese girl with the mask on was beyond stupid and obviously wound the horse up in advance. Are we surprised?

[@lindamorris8706]

I agree Diana. I was quite surprised the horse didn't bite her x

[@SceGno1]

Yes, I also agree. There were about three or four people winding the horse up before the Canadian girl went up for her photo, and they were putting their hands around his mouth when he clearly wasn't happy with that.

[@38harpstrings]

I don’t agree with the previous comments about the horse being wound up. Before the biting incident, the horse consistently turned his head and was pretty mouthy with anyone close by, probably to get some attention and pets. Notice he never moved his feet which would have resulted in a correction from the Trooper, who, in my opinion, should have not allowed his mount to display such poor manners. The horse shouldn’t be allowed to fraternize with the visitors, just as the Trooper is not allowed to. In any case, when the young woman stopped giving the horse attention, he nipped her. The Trooper seemed to know what was happening, but he didn’t correct the horse right away. Probably tired of tourists all around and allowed things to play out as they may.

[@kimgrattage6049]

​@@SceGno1they were her friends, two girls, saw them altogether before it happened. She ALSO saw the horse try and bite her friends, so why get so close, has she got that problem stupid Gen Z have or whatever dumb Generation letter they have at end? FOMO- FEAR OF MISSING OUT?

I thought so too. A few of the seemed to work up the horse but the lady bitten was more typical.

[@user-ju6gd3fg1x]

After viewing your numerous videos of tourists standing extremely close to these horses, let-alone stroking, scratching, and patting them; for the life of me, I do not understand why those not connected with The Guards are EVER allowed to do this!! I was raised with horses. Horses are capable of killing one with their teeth and both front and back hooves. Would it ruin the tourist experience to be kept several feet away from horse and mount at all times while still being allowed to take photos and videos? I think not!

[@SceGno1]

I couldn't agree more. With such throngs of people all jabbering on, the horses must get stressed - I know I do, and I'm not even there!

Good morning John. Wanted to tell you I was on Pinterest last night and found a wonderful picture of the black horse Invader. It was newspaper article in London. He was one of 2 horses chosen to walk behind the Queens coffin with the royals following. He at that time was 19 years old it said he was the fastest horse in the company and never put a hoof wrong.

"Doing horseback riding" does not make her a horse whisperer! If she's really "familiar"with horses, she wouldn't stick her hand under his mouth like that. She was teasing him. He clearly thought she had a treat, hence the bite. (I have a little pony that has bitten me a few times because he thought I had a treat in my hand. I stopped hand feeding him treats and keep my hands away from his mouth. The biting has stopped.)

[@xo2quilt]

When a horse lets you know that they don't want you that close, and the sign tells you the horses will bite, why the heck do people ignore the warning signs? Stupid and they deserve the consequences of their actions. My horse wasn't a biter, hand-fed treats every day, but if people crowded around him, he would have had a go at them. If she "knows horses", she completely ignored what she knew about horses, or she is less educated than she thinks. Glad you left the incident in, fair warning to all. Horses can exert 500 pounds of pressure on a bite, enough to take off a finger from a person. Could produce a crush injury to the bone. This horse only got skin and soft tissue, so she was lucky.

[@Grumpykitty2023]

Helping her??? It was a bruise. Not the horses fault she fed her arm to the horse

[@TheGwildandfree777]

That was more than a simple bruise. That horse had his teeth clamped onto that poor girl's arm. And John did a wonderful thing by helping her!

[@juniorwashington3052]

White people are stupid! They have got a sign up on the wall. She surprised that she was biting! Lol!

That was great kindness you showed the Canadian. 😳 I hope no damage was done, that she feels better soon. ❤️

That was so kind of you to help her John. ❤

[@RuudJH]

People don't realize you actually have to bond with a horse, before getting so familiar with it, touching it. It was clear this horse was in no mood to be petted. Was clearly looking for a snack.

[@Shexiia]

Oh my goodness John, you are such a kind soul for helping the Canadian gal. I didn't know you can approach the police officer if bitten. Thanks.

[@stephaniehawkins5211]

Perhaps the sign should be worded "Don't place hands near horses mouth they may bite." It astounds me how many people shove their hands at the horses mouth, of course this action to the horse means a snack, not an empty hand. Have been a horse owner and rider for many years.

[@paulettebillinge]

As I have said, keep your hands, and arms away from the horses. They do bite morons.

[@de7403]

Good luck on teaching the people of the world on what they should or shouldn't be doing. But yes you make a good point.

[@jeannierenton7542]

The horses don’t like things just like we don’t, in the case of the horse that bit my fellow Canadian probably is like me & doesn’t like crowds. I can get a panic attack over being surrounded by that many people. Thanks John for helping her to get looked at & yes she will have quite a bruise from that bite.🇨🇦

John, you can’t apologize for something you have no control over if the horse is going to do something they’re going to do it and if people are stupid enough to get that close and not expect something to happen well don’t you see animals and they won’t bite you even a person who knows horses well, enough does not go up to them and grab Holden take it vantage of the horse they might not like people in their face😢😢😢😢

Come on!!! There are signs......why do you feel sorry for her????? AND it was just a bruise - blame yourself women!!!

[@m3gan7737]

Exactly

[@Grumpykitty2023]

Exactly... The horse had enough to see a mile off. SHE fed her arm to the horse . The horse didn't move to her.. ALWAYS the horse gets the blame. It was ONLY a bruise she should think herself very lucky.😊

[@maggiemadwestiemum4511]

I do feel sorry for her yes there are signs but I really think something needs to be done about all the crowds. At the end of the day every horse can have enough. John you were so good thank you for helping her no one else stepped in

As usual, gentleman John. I've been bitten many times over the years, it goes with the territory. That said, you're always taken by surprise and that adds to the hurt. Well done. I think the Chinese girl with the mask worked the horse up. The Canadian girl was so well behaved. Qudos to her.

[@lesleycooke6226]

My days John what carnage 😱 its a wonder you could breath. No wonder Lincoln wasn't happy people are getting far too close to the horse's everything needs its own space please read the SIGNS!!! then maybe you won't get bitten. Well done John for being so helpful. Thank you John Stay safe ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@CarolWoosey-ck2rg]

No sympathy whatsoever- told that the horses can bite so what do they do? Put their hand right near the horses mouth then surprised that they get bitten- those poor animals must be absolutely fed up with all the prodding ,poking and fondling 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@judepicton6252]

It's so pathetic,they feel the need to get so close .Parents that push their tiny baby's so close to a horse ,because they need a picture ,with a sign in the background stating the horse may bite.😅

[@daniellelarivee6292]

Why are people so nasty have a little compassion, sending some positive vibes to everyone lol

[@maryholder3795]

​@@daniellelarivee6292 people don't realise how much damage a horse can do. Or when enough is enough for the horse.

[@genny9026]

There are parents sometimes who keep trying to get their babies or toddlers to put their tiny, wiggling fingers up to a horses mouth, in attempts to get a photo of the little one stroking a horse’s nose. Such incidents could have results far worse than today’s. There should be no petting zoo behaviour allowed at all.

[@ladyfreedomrocks]

She played a stupid game and got a painful prize.

[@mytobytobster]

How nice of you to help! Good going John

[@user-lf9zc8nl7p]

The girl was an idiot and the horse was obviously tired of being pawed by stupid tourists with no manners and no respect.

[@elainebrooksbank5281]

A horse’s incisor teeth are designed for grinding up hay & grass so are necessarily sharpe. They are also used for nipping away unwanted and intrusive behaviour. If that horse had really meant business then she would have come off with a worse injury than just a bruise. Their jaw is powered by the massive massiter muscle which gives it a bite power of around 500 pounds per square inch - more then twice that of a pit bull. To be honest if that lady actually knew about horses other than simply riding them she’d have known not to stick her arm where the horse could grab it when it had “nibbled” everyone who had got close enough. She obviously didn’t gauge the mood of the horse before approaching it. As a Canadian she could have read and understood the warning sign - that she chose to ignore it is no one else’s fault. I suspect that’s one souvenir of her visit to London she’d rather not have collected. Having said that I think you were right to show the incident on your video. The more people who know what a horse is capable of then hopefully more people will respect their space. Especially parents who put their children in harm’s way just for that all important holiday snap.

[@JudiStardust]

John, thank you so much for assisting the young lady with the bite. I am sure your confidant calm helped her and her young friends. Well Done! 🏅

[@unbreakable7633]

That horse seemed agitated from the start. All animals can be unpredictable. Respect that.

[@ickydeerlamb2823]

Us Canadians are tough. Poor girl, loves horses, got bit badly. She'll have a big London bruise to take home.😊

Sorry the girl got bitten and that you and the police assisted her. Hope they enjoy the rest of their trip. The Blues are on it!

[@Jacmac1]

The legendary bite and hold occurs here: 43:35 Lincoln maybe one of the greatest biters of the horse guards because he doesn't let go.

[@Nettsinthewoods]

That wasn’t a nasty temper bite, it was more a hold much as the horse was doing to people’s coats. A real bite is extremely painful indeed!

[@juneweyman8482]

Yes my husbands ex Regiment my husband could not understand no one took notice of the warnings, plus soldiers constantly shout dont touch the horse, they hot blooded breed taught to go to war, forgod sake tourist they not there for tourist attraction they are gaurding the Queen ect. They even bite the soldiers while being cleaned and fed in stables at barracks, the soldiers total respect thier breed. And now they are the Kings horses.

[@lornadesmarais-zo4pr]

That must’ve hurt. People shouldn’t be allowed to get so close.

[@LondonCityWalks]

That was the worst bite I have yet seen at Horse Guards and her arm was very badly bruised. The panic on her face was actually scary TBH.

[@SceGno1]

That poor girl suffered Lincoln's last straw, unfortunately. What a shame and I hope it didn't spoil her and her friends/family's enjoyment of their visit to London. The horse can't be blamed of course, and anybody watching for more than just a couple of minutes could see that he had had enough and just wanted to be left alone. Sadly, the Canadian girl took the brunt of his wrath, but I hope she was alright in the end.

The horse was obviously unhappy with the crowd of people and so many teasing him to nip...... people look at the body language from the horses.... they always let you know how they feel.

[@clairebrookes2923]

Feel bad for the young lady but the poor horse had obviously had enough and was clearly distressed at everyone trying to have a laugh wanting pictures of him. 😢 You are such a great guy in your compassion though for both the tourists and guards/troopers and horses which is why your channel is the best to watch. Thank you.

[@grannygoes]

Your new title is Ranger. 👏 Your kindness shows! The bite of a horse does more soft tissue damage particularly when biting over the bone. I have never seen a horse bite break any bones except fingers and toes. (from The Ancient Paramedic grandmother)

[@user-oy4yi2gl3k]

No pity whatsoever for the lady with the bite. The people prior to her deserve a bite as well! I was even more surprised to hear she is a horse person. Any person who has spends time around an animal knows that you NEVER approach an animal that doesn't know you and put your hands around their mouths. I am always amazed when an English speaker gets bitten and then yells "He bit me!! That really hurts!!". If you went to the zoo and stuck your arm into a cage, would you expect the animal to bite you? IT'S NOT A PETTIING ZOO! I feel bad for the trooper because I bet it causes distress for him or her when it happens. At some point, it's going to be even worse. The parents that place a toddler directly under the horse's mouth is going to a bite on the head at some point. The tourist treat it like a tourist attraction. It's a historical/military site that attracts tourists. That is a huge difference. The only way to stop it is for someone to police the tourists behavior. They are obviously not smart enough to stop putting their hands in the mouth of a horse. There are 3 choices, build barriers keeping horses away from the people, police the behavior, or pull the horses back into the yard and keep the yard closed. And while I am at it, this is no place for dogs!! Not good for the dogs, the public or the horses!!

There was the lady with a mask on before that lady that kept rubbing her hand all over the horse’s mouth & face. Agitating him very much. They should put signs do not touch horses at all and if they do remove them from the area! No one should put their hand under the horses mouth because he thinks he’s getting fed!

[@user-oy4yi2gl3k]

I agree @@wandafaulk3641

[@battles146]

I re-watched that portion of the video and there are 2 men behind her laughing, you can also hear others laughing as if egging her on until it turned serious - afterwards think some tourists realized it could happen to them - I've always said there should be NO touching of the horses - and a distance away of at least 2-3 feet for photo purposes - the MOD police should be more involved in 'public safety' (and protection of the horse guards) - I've heard tour guides (all tour guides speak more than one language per their websites) urging their paying tourists to 'move closer' - an announcement to every tour guide company in england that failure to educate their tours how to behave and show respect would result in a serious fine - or maybe we subscribers should start a letter campaign 🙂

[@Chris17198]

If folk want to ignore the signs and take a chance not to get bitten then that’s their choice …tbh if you’re stupid enough to risk it then don’t expect any sympathy .. these horses are more likely to bite ..they are constantly mauled by tourists and it’s only going to be a matter of time before they have had enough …
