Corporal Honors Officer’s Family - Allowed to Pat Horse and Take Photos!

[@Kimberly-dn4mc]

That's not his family! I saw this video weeks ago, and that is a tourist that asks if they can pet the horse, and the COH allows it! Great example of how to make your military look weak and clueless!!

Okay the rules do not apply to everyone that 's not fair and definitely not a good example

Why do they slap their horses when they dismount

[@Londontoday-official]

it signals the horse to prepare to take weight on one side for the dismount. This is part of the horse's training, as the guards, wearing full gear, are quite heavy. Additionally, a slap to the side often signifies the end of their work, indicating that their duty is complete. These signals are part of the disciplined routine between the guards and their well-trained horses.

Rules must be thoroughly fair，and creating special exceptions can create dissatisfaction．
