That horse is champing for a reason. Something going on with his mouth, obviously. He needed to be relieved of duty so he could have his mouth examined more thoroughly. They keep forcing him back into the guard station. What the heck? He’s trying to tell you something’s not right. It’s cruel.

[@Rumkitty2000]

It's not horrible unless you simply take a horse from the countryside and plop it in the middle of a busy city street. The horses are trained and taught to be familiar with the pipesand drum, along with Cannon and gunfire and all city noise long before they are assigned to guard the palace. They're army horses who also march in front or with the band while it plays during the changing of the guard or occasions like the Queen's jubilee, her funeral, and the king's coronation. Also, they only stand for an hour at a time, then go back to the stables, their saddles and tack are removed, and they get water, hay , and sometimes oats, along with a brushing out . You clearly know nothing about these horses, so shut your yob.

[@patneville2798]

That’s how I used to feel when I had to go to work! I don’t wanna go today! 😫

[@mmckenzie8085]

Lol at all the "experts" here. The guards know what they are doing. The horse was a bit spooked and the guards are used to these situations. Certain noises can spook certain horses and they don't take them in immediately as it is all part of training them. Right at the beginning the soldier the first thing he did was check to make sure the bit etc were fine. It can be many things in particular marches that spook them. All in a days work. Perhaps occasionally the tourists need a reminder they are not at Madame Tussauds.

[@maxinejones8627]

At last, someone talking sense. Thank you.

[@kjmav10135]

Wrong. The horse is not a spooked horse. The horse seems to be in pain round its mouth. They needed to get it into its stall, into a halter, and have its gums and teeth checked. I’m sure that’s what they did-eventually.

[@sherimcdaniel3491]

In my opinion, much of the issues what arise in the horses are caused by “demonstrations” along the street. All sorts of problems come along because the horses aren’t accustomed to crowds of people marching down the street. They spook the horses and the bagpipes seem to drive horses into fits! If they forbid marching demonstrators from using that street at all, much of the horses’ problems may be solved. ❤️🐈

It is the horse's job to stand and be steady, whatever the distractions. I am sure they are well trained.

He seemed to become agitated then we heard drums banging then he went a bit worse and we heard bagpipes then the silly demonstrators frightened the horse altogether with their whistles, honking horses and dressed as alligators etc. poor horse, poor guardsman.

As a veterinarian- even horses can get a headache… for example from a semingly minor tooth-/mouthissue. The horse was getting more agitated when the drums and music started, then add any kind of pain, a tensioned body from standing still for a period of time and maybe young age (less experience) and you get the perfect recipe for Desaster. Maybe it being a young horse could be the reason that it was put back into position again and again to give it a learning possibility but if pain is in the game, there is no chance than to give the horse the brake it needs - a brake long enough to heal and not just to calm down though 🥴

Too much noise, commotion. That poor horse. Please let him rest. He might be in physical pain.

It is cruel to enlist young men into a service where they will have to endure unreasonable and painful displine for the conceit of a costly monarchy. To do the same to a horse is even worse!

The horse did not like the drums.

I can not believe how they kept on making the horse go back when you could see the horse was distressed. Shame on them. That doesn't make them compassionate at all. That was nigh on animal abuse.

think the horse was pissed off with the 1970 cereal bowl haircut , my sister and brothers from the kitchen salon feel your pain

This is why the protests shouldn’t be allowed to go down Whitehall. Too distressing for the horses.
