Gent walking past in a top hat ! Great to see some familiar faces , two and four legged , I may be one of the few but I rather like the beards 😁. Lovely Brutus with the troop of police horses 😍.

Unacceptable behaviour of the guy stomping and laughing.

[@vmcougarintn5035]

Why does no one talk to the horse? The horses lean into them and look at them, so why not at least say "Hello"? I don't understand it. I almost didn't recognize that trooper with his beard and mustache! 😁 Tourists seem to have no situational awareness at all. I thought it was just my spouse who was like that, guess I was wrong. Abdullah did show that mascot yesterday. It was cute too. I thought he probably needed some oxygen after about 5 minutes in that outfit. Yikes, it did look hot and claustrophobic to me. I've decided that I will vote for Twinkles. That's a local inhabitant of the zoo. A Gorilla like him seems to have more sense. I love to see these soldiers, they are very professional. Plus they have gorgeous mounts! Thanks John, it was great to see HCAV back!

[@gracewashburn8276]

Yes, John, your recording did pick it up as I heard it and it definitely said get off my boot😂😂

All the time they put into their kit I do not blame them for yelling when someone touches their boots, you can probably see yourself in the shine.

[@SuperAbcdabcdabcdabc]

Hello. Yes the horses are beautiful. The guards uniforms seem to be extra shiny

[@joclovelady]

To measure a horse, you should make sure they are standing on an even surface and measure from the ground directly up to the highest point on their withers. It's best to use a measuring stick marked with hand intervals. Usually you would say the horse is 15h when referring to their height. You commented that the horses all seemed the same size. Military usually looks for uniformity in size as it helps with uniformity in gait, moving in a 'parade' or 'ceremonial' fashion. I finally figured out what colour the horses are that have the reddish coat that the female Guards ride. They fit under the colour "sorrell". I learn something new every time I watch your posts.😊

[@annmcclelland-mv8gl]

I’m so happy to see the Life Guards back! They look fabulous! The horses are HUGE! KTRHA did an amazing job Forgive me, I skipped forward, yet to watch the whole vid, did you tell us a while ago that they hold back about 20 horses that are duty ready? Horses who had been on holiday couldn’t be turned around that quicky? If that’s the case, I hope those horses get their break before or after the others!

That channel did a slight name change and also altered the description to state they weren't affiliated with the any regiment and they rarely seem to film at Horse Guards now (though did film briefly at the parade ground at the back of Horse Guards just the other day). They do film a great deal around Buckingham Palace/The Mall and also Hyde Park near the barracks and now also narrate, ala John, but often with incorrect information since it's clear they don't research much (if at all) and with no humour whatsoever.
