HE MESSED AROUND THEN THIS HAPPENS! | Horse Guards, Royal guard, Kings Guard, Horse, London, 2024

[@atedogs]

I don t think anyone should be able to touch or come near the horses. For one thing I don't believe they are trained to endure people's constant touching poking and crowding them. Being bitten is no joke. They can shred a shoulder or remove a chunk of flesh quite easily. Being kicked is life altering been there done that soft arena saved me but never got on a horse again. I would thank the guards maybe it's not done but they deserve respect.

[@lizbarakat2191]

I’m positive that the guards would appreciate you thanking them… They’re not allowed to speak on duty as a general rule, but I’ve seen them occasionally say a few words to people who are extra polite… Sorry to hear that you were injured and I’m glad to know that you at least had a soft landing…

[@ezlow1065]

Well said!

[@masonyoutube7347]

What you think doesn't,'*t matter. If they didn't want the horses touched they wouldn't't allow it. They are exploiting these horses for the sake of tourism.

[@anjou6497]

​​@@masonyoutube7347 Yes, there is a good argument in that. It's not strictly NECESSARY to have the horse guards out there. It is a huge boost to filling the tourism coffers, but i see nothing wrong with some traditions. Unfortunately there will always be some nitwit annoying them. 🤔

[@nigelbews3335]

Very true,there should be a ten meter boundary… British people are just too annoyingly nice to allow this

[@chrissiegant3341]

Is it me, or do others feel that there should be more restrictions on the crowds around the Horse Guards? I don't think people realise that these are soldiers who fight for their country, who protect their royalty, who can fire a gun if necessary!!

[@CaballeroBC.]

I agree yet they know it's a customary presentation from the past of the old guard, and not a show of true military might to defend against 21st century enemies. They just can't with what they're armed with. Ridicule of anyone's culture and customs is outright ignorant, yet I'm sure they are well aware of exposure to idiots and knowingly take on the customary roles. The armed police do a good job taking care of the jerks!

[@janetcarbone4213]

In full agreement. Just finished my post a couple of minutes ago

[@mboffield]

You’re not alone. These crowds of ignorant and disrespectful people need to be kept at a distance. It’s seriously disrespectful to the guard and distressing to his or her mount

[@christinesabel9826]

It's true!

[@jjfoo32]

The guards & horses are magnificent! But I don’t understand why people on vacation insist on acting like they are in some way superior to the host country, therefore they can do/say whatever they like. You certainly wouldn’t walk up to a mounted police officer & grab the reigns of his horse. If you notice when the horse refuses to box then another guard comes & takes the reins & guides him back in. Taking the reins gives you control of the horse. So these idiots walk up and think they’re entitled to grab the reigns of the King’s Guard? If the King’s Guard is meant to be taken seriously, then they should ban tourists from the area.

[@GitteRittaNielsen-ke7wu]

It's sad to see how disrespectful people are towards the Guards. They treat it like it's a show. These Guards are soldiers and are there to protect the Royal family and they deserve respect! I hope they change the rules, so people can't get so close to them anymore. It's clear to see it stresses the horses. And people just laugh.

[@ianblunt2641]

Everyday these working soldiers face disrespect and humiliation from the public for doing their job, it needs to stop. This kind of behaviour doesn't happen at Buckingham Palace. Close this whole area to the public!

The patience they have is admirable, having to deal with such disrespect.

It is not direspect. Its a tourist attraction. People are allowed to walk there. All the signs are onley in englisch, there are very much more languaches in the world.

I unanimously support having No tourists, parades, malcontents anywhere near the kings guard and the horses! They serve a purpose and are not there for giggles! Mind sets as though vacationing in Disneyland, no respect or manners shown to the military nor police nor rules. I say ban all foot traffic from being anywhere near the kings guard & horses. Let them look from across the street! No touching the horses. No goofy picture taking!
