IGNORANCE OR DISRESPECTFUL - Tourist Grabs Wrong Royal Guard Boots | Royal Guard, Kings Guard,

[@Baky_T]

It really boggles my mind how extremely rude people are. If you are a tourist, you should educate yourself before heading to the destination, shouldn't you?! That's at least what I do. But what's really horrible - how absolutely peabrain-y those people seem like. They just go up to these poor horses and guards, who are being harassed and touched by those childish, incredibly immature people. I mean, if you are INcapable of keeping your bloody hands to yourself, well then ASK AT LEAST?! Some guards do answer if you are respectfully keeping distance and asking. SURPRISE, they're human too! But usually it's NO TOUCHING of the horse - period!!! THEY'RE WORKING and not there for y'alls entertainment!!! Would you want tourists disrespect your country's cherished people and places?! Gosh.... I hope you guards know how much appreciated you are! Please give your best friends a good scratch for me ♥️ Hope I can visit one day, because I would LOVE to just tell y'all how much I appreciate you and the horses! (for the immature tourists: with respectful distance, believe it or not!) Much love from Croatia!

I grew up riding Western style and always used only one hand - with the gentlest of touches. Two reins... I can't recall ever bringing my left hand up to grab the reins. Maybe I did once or twice, just don't remember. What I do remember is sometimes holding the end of the long reins with my left hand to fidget while using my right hand to "drive". I did use my legs and one hand even if the horse commenced crow-hopping or spinning. A noise with my mouth, tightening my grip and squeezing my legs but remaining calm.

Horses with staggers can show a wide array of symptoms including incoordination, trembling, staggering and may even fall. They can have anxious behaviour, hypersensitivity to sounds and can be easily spooked. Tilting can sometimes be indicative of some sort of physical problems, such as discomfort in the neck, teeth, or head. So, your first job is to make sure that your horse is not in pain by asking an equine dentist, physio, and your vet to check the horse over. That horse was definitely feeling uncomfortable there....

These horses look pretty stoic to me. They are often in situations with ignorant visitors. My husband grew up with horses and had helped me moderate my behavior around them. One year my husband and I took a horse ride in Montana USA . Really controlled we were walking along the bank of a river. Very slow. In front of me was a teenage boy from Texas who had a lot of experience with horses. We were walking along and suddenly the horse in front reared up, made a big noise, reared up and the young man in front of me jumped off the horses back and out of the way. I admit to a certain amount of fear before that happened. I had no idea that I could leap off a horse and avoid falling into the river. Soon a horse on the other side of the river started making a bunch of utterances. The horse in front of me returned that horse’s utterances. The guides wisely started walking up and forth on our side of the river. When he got to us he said that the Cowboys’ horse and the horse across the river always wanted to be together. Fortunately the guide and my horse and the young man from Texas were able to all of us together and restart the ride for that day.

London is a lovely place to visit!

[@Amesu100]

Some people are just so disrespectful.

[@AliceHenderson-vz7kn]

ENOUGH!!! Stop alowing the people to touch the horses!!! It's just that simple!!!

[@mandymurrayh7857]

You can see that the horse is not happy .

[@feralbluee]

they brought her back out twice? Why? 🐎🐴 11:28 This lady is a bit off. Hope she’s on her meds. 15:06 Another guy being quite weird. Poor horse! (why do they allow someone like that?)

[@glassonion5474]

Yes. Where are the police in these cases?

[@booper343]

There's something wrong with her mouth. My God give her a break!!!!!

[@maryleal2636]

Poor horse he needs a break He's tired please don't break his spirit. I love horses They are so majestically beautiful

[@luisacosta9957]

Esos caballos descansan y sé alimentan muy bien y tienen buen servicio veterinario,mucho movimiento y ruidos los incomodan

[@Brangeliez51Yolie]

Horses get anxious, and it saddens me that they are kept standing for hours and on top of that they also have to put up with irritable and disrespectful people. It's horrible! That's why the horse acts in such a protective way. Don't touch and they touch it. And there is also a sign with information and people don't pay attention.

[@janiceellis5461]

This is the limit for me it is total madness having horses out when protests are happening. Public to near horses it's total idiocy.

[@theapavlou3030]

It's stupid to have protests where horses are. There, fixed that for you

[@mimita1157]

Why are all the Asians always making the peace sign? Is outright stupid!

[@ChristineChurch]

That horse is making it very clear he does NOT want to do this today!!!

[@Susan-jn6ch]

That poor horse. So cruel. It shouldn't be a bloody circus.

[@maryncudo4526]

The horse must be very tired from being touched all day long by those annoying visitors. DO NOT TOUCH THE HORSE, LEAVE IT ALONE. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE HORSE OR THE GUARD AT ALL. I FEEL SORRY FOR THAT POOR HORSE. USA Too many people are permitted in that place at one time. There should be some order and discipline from the Queen's employees how many people could get access to the place at once. The Guard and the horse are both extremely tired I i can magine.

[@marshahokstad3497]

Obviously the horse has a problem. It is so painful to see him forced back into the box over and over again. Give him a break. 😢

[@anndenovan9026]

He was not being forced into the box, he was walked in, if they had given in right away then he probably would never go in again.

[@swashington942]

Calm down Karen

[@demi3115]

@@swashington942well, does it look like it accepts teh bit? not really huh? horses can be in pain, too. Dimwit.

[@wastedorion]

This is all part of the horses training. Later on it'll handle demonstrations

[@garfield2439]

IKR. They usually let them leave for the day.😢😢😢

[@allisonsamantaivey2832]

That thing in the horse mouth is bothering him 😢

[@catwolf4243]

It's distressing to see the horse so distressed. Can't they take him in & change horses? Would seem much better for soldier & horse. Esp since he isn't calming.

[@baileyboy5253]

It looks to me like the horse was in training and they were not letting the horse dictate and win. I saw no abuse or anything, but yes, you could tell the horse was having a hissy fit.

[@moregravity033]

How hard is it to read the sign and have a little common sense sheesh!

[@darlenechandler2403]

Many are Chinese and all signs in London are English only.

[@johnhood3172]

Why didn’t they take the house off duty . He was very unhappy.

[@Wulfyr]

After three refusals they usually swap the horse out for another. They'll give it a couple of chances to settle first.

[@allie.lazio.]

Exactly, it was cruel. Just give him a break.

[@milkymilk53]

​@@allie.lazio.imagine if we just didn't train animals and just let them loose when they "weren't feeling the vibe" or whatever.

[@6senses1mind]

​@@milkymilk53don't be too weird. That horse really seems like he needs a break from that madness 😢😢

[@casperbu5664]

Solidarietà a cavallo e cavaliere. È dura dover sopportare la mancanza di rispetto . Ammirazione profonda.

[@mildredchey3930]

Nobody likes noises especially animals !

[@RenoLaringo]

How do those horses still have one hair left is beyond me.

[@bobburroughs6241]

Why keep bringing it back when it's so disturbed? Always one nutter, in this case 2 or 3 or 4!.

[@maureenball6733]

Canny horses might play up more often if they got let off the hook!

[@Wulfyr]

They usually swap the horse out for another after three refusals. They give it a couple of chances to settle down first before immediately changing it out.

[@sump1383]

Big sign says ‘don’t touch the reins’…. So most idiots touch the reins. 🤦‍♂️

[@ralsharp6013]

Gosh, the horse nearly head butt the guy in camouflage uniform 😮! The poor creature's are spooked by the protesters over yonder! 🧐😢

[@patriciawilliams5021]

There was one sad incident with a green camouflage soldier was trying to steer the poor horse around and kept on holding and pulled the poor horse around. You sir needed to let go of that poor horse. You were to far up on his bridle and bit . Yes he was acting up but you acted worse than the poor horse. I guess we were suppose to be impressed with your show of horsemanship. Thankyou for serving. (That brought tears to my eyes.) who taught you to wrestle a horse that way? Yep, the horse looked in charge of you.

[@helveticaification]

Some of the times when the Guard wishes s/he wasn't carrying a silly sword. Interesting, too, how so many 'grown-ups' think it's a good idea to offer their small fingers to a large animal's very large teeth. Some fools act like they are just life-sized toys.

[@kathyturner6177]

I wouldn’t have said a word I would let my 1200 pound horse do the talking. What’s with the peace signs🤪

[@georginalight4495]

Dumb orientals, they show no respect! You would be thrown in prison if you were in their country 🤬

[@DominiqueGonzalvez]

Je comprend l'agacement du cheval avec tous ces gens 😅😅et son immobilité forcé 😢😢

[@mq5276]

Trained, not forced.

[@chuckFlynn-z9o]

Those guards are majestic!! Wow!

[@anitawatkins954]

The horses seem to be more annoyed by the visitors. I would be.

[@Kitakita87]

This cheeky boy is trying to get himself reassigned. He couldn’t calm down for some reason. Horses are amazing creatures with distinct personalities. Love them so much! Also amazing is how these guards are trained to control their horse with one hand on the rein…respect

[@Barbzie-sw2gx]

Ya know....TRAINED or NOT I'm sure even horses have their breaking point, melt downs, can freak out....NEVER UNDERESTIMATE an animal....ANY ANIMAL!!!!

[@Beth-l5c]

This poor horse is really uncomfortable. Likely the bit.

[@princesspiplaysbass]

This is why I am a hermit.

[@garfield2439]

Yep

[@natalybayb]

Beautiful rituals, wonderful traditions. But for some reason people don’t understand that animals have a hard time and they are nervous and should not be disturbed.

[@Lulu-vi4wb]

People might think the King’s guards don’t have to be that rude. Actually, the tourists are the one who’s being rude by treating them as picture props. Secondly, the tourists are in their way or violate their space triggering shouting. They are on official duty.

[@TheMonkeyman01]

These guards and their horses are at the top of their game. I watched one of these videos the other day, and this particular horse done the same exact thing, and there weren't any protests nearby or loud drums. If the horse is having an off day, then it's having an off day. It was probably that puppy that got it spooked 😂. 🇬🇧💪

[@suepike1323]

Not a happy bunny that day and then the idiots line up to be disrespectful, another day at Horse Guards. ☹️

[@mariegreen6912]

Wonder if the thought of people pawing at him/her all day long and putting their nasty hands in his/her mouth spooked the horse I know I would h get tired of it
