Hello there, how are you John ? Been a while. I was busy during Easter Holidays. Thanks for keeping us update and showing around the Household Cavalry. It’s getting quite warm 27:02 I remember that video you posted with another French groups👌👍 27:11 that’s bloody true French kids are totally disrespectful.

[@KiwiGirl1]

Thank you so much for 3 parts, you really spoilt us today ❤ shame about the weather and I did feel sorry for Ormonde with no one to bite. Nevermind, hopefully plenty more opportunities for that coming up. Have fun in Paris, stay safe, see you when you return, cheers 😊

[@BlueIsis433]

John, Ormonde did get one good bite in, the girl in the pink jumper when you were talking to the woman. I saw it from the front view in someone elses video I don't remember whose might have been Buska's. Great videos 3 in one day you will be missed when you are away for sure, thank you for the videos.

[@Ronin4614]

Oromomde; John, with a bit of editing, you could put together a “Best of Oromomde” video.

Tourists who come to London nowadays are so bloody rude!!!! Why can’t they show more respect to the guards???

[@xdsclubgold123]

I really wish they would, but it seems it is not just endemic to the US. Happens all around the world :(

[@seabhac7147]

American here. There is an apparent lack of understanding of some, not all of these tourists that these are indeed serving members of the British crown doing a given job and not just existing as a tourist attraction. Sad fact but true.

[@garfield2439]

Sadly, rudeness is everywhere these days.😢😢😢

[@garfield2439]

Apologies for all the rude tourist's

[@mad4cavs]

because they think its a theme park

[@Janet-ql4bh]

I fully support the gatesman as he did warn them before he pushed his way through. Even if they did not understand, surely the yell would have made them move. I believe society today has become too self-centred and not being more aware of their surroundings and the significance of the horse guards. I believe teachers should have educated them before bringing them there.

[@captglenn100]

The teachers should know the routine and learn to keep the way clear. It is possible the students were told but it happens pretty fast. There was really very little warning time and the gatesman was behind them blocked by others in the crowd and moving silently until that time. Yes, students should be more aware, but look how young they are.

[@Jamie_Wulfyr]

"Ormonde doesn't like German tourists. That...Has been established." 😂👌🏻 He's a patriotic horse is Ormonde. That raised fist ✊🏻 marking on his head is just perfect for his personality.

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

He probably watched too much WW2 movies during his break at the stable. Maybe that’s why he’s wary towards the Germans 😆😆😆

[@robertarobertson238]

Ormonde has the right idea - “Keep a respectful distance, I am on Guard-duty!” 😊

[@marilyncasabuena4275]

The overwhelming influx of unruly tourists & shocking disrespect to authority is alarming. ORMONDE earned the title KING & the respect he deserved with his DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOR. It’s a behavior that will keep you away & when pushed to the limit, he will bite or kick you to defend the space you invaded. If you backed off, he wouldn’t come to you at all. He will let you be as long as you let him be! KING ORMONDE, I love you just the way you are!🥰🐴💐

Too bad about the ignorant Fench students....their teachers should have taught/warned them beforehand and their escorts made sure they behaved. By the way, their President made a country-wide statement asking the French Tourists to respect the British Laws when visiting. As for the request to remove them...they have to obey British laws when in Britain!

[@coolmum47]

Seeing as the human trooper knows what Ormonde is like and what to expect, it must be so difficult for him to keep a straight face when Ormonde expresses his dislike of the pesky tourists !!!

[@annetteevans2175]

Thanks to the Trooper who said he’d bring Ormonde out 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻No mean feat a) controlling Ormonde’s taste for tourists and b) controlling his own urge to laugh at his shenanigans 🤣. Big Thanks John for asking the CoH to bring Ormonde out in the first place!!!! Loving 3 parts, a very special treat

You need a t shit of a laughing trooper on the back of Ormond biting at the camera with caption : How can you have your pudding if you don't eat your meat.

[@robertarobertson238]

The huge Police horses seem to get more respect from the tourists, the tourists, especially Tourist Guides and Teachers NEED to spread more awareness and respect for the Duties of the Guards and their horses.

C of H is a real gentleman, who love of his horses 🐎 just shines through. I think 🤔 he'd be a hard taskmaster to his troopers but fair. Ormonde maybe 5:49 he didn't bit the Gateman cos you don't get as many " Nip points" for troopers only tourons. 😊

[@BlueIsis433]

Lol John the question is not does anyone love him, but does Ormonde like anyone? He is the most anit-social horse, if he was human I'm sure he would be a hermit. He is however very entertaining to watch at a safe distance and anyone who enters his personel space is sure to pay the price. Long live King Ormonde.

[@QueenBabylonnia]

I’m sure most people would be considered anti-social, if you had strangers pushing into your personal space for their own gratification photos. Constantly.. tourists have no respect for the soldiers on duty or the animals involved in that duty. They treat it like Disney attraction cosplay.After days of duty sitting outside not moving, my preferred horse would be the one that the tourists never wanted to be near.

[@BlueIsis433]

@@QueenBabylonnia Yes you are correct in what you say about the behaviour of the tourists. But my reference to him being anti-social is the fact he is an equal opportunity biter he will have a go at the troopers, CoH, I have even seen the captains keep their distance from him, no one invades his personel space unless he wants them to.

Chuckled all the way through to the end of the video Ormonde is one heck of a character, i mean the nerve to bite at the COH!😂😂 I like that COH too, he's got some star power there! Thank you , John, for this three-part saga of Thursday, i couldn't even begin to imagine how you actually managed to not get tired after 3 hours filming there!I hope you have something to drink with you!I liked all the horses, but Vortex is indeed very unique in his markings, just like Ormonde and Trinity. I mean you look at him and you know which horse it is. The gateman burst through the Maginot Line, just as the Entente Cordiale between GB and France is celebrated on Monday (120 years of peace between the two countries)😅 On another channel I watched a group of French gendarmes led by a tall British Royal Cavalry officer coming out of the gates of Buckingham Palace yesterday, being all starry-eyed (they had been probably taken on a tour) looking back the palace and at all the many tourists that were there, milling in front of the palace, near the great fountain. The officer was taking them to the Wellington barracks, just across the street, where they were met by other British officers. As part of the celebrations, i understood the gendarmes will do ceremonial duty at Buckingham Palace, while some British officers will do ceremonial duty at the Elysée Palace.(i'm sure Mr. Macron is also starry-eyed when he sees them)🤩🤩I'm sorry but they gave me "The gendarmes in America" movie vibes (starring the late and much-regretted French actor Louis de Funes)🤣🤣

I've noticed over time with Ormonde is, most of the time, if you approach Ormonde straight on, he doesn't bite at you, but if you go to his sides, he does.
