I've always adored the Household Cavalry regiments, And I can't wait until they come back. But there's something truly special about this King's Troop Guard. In the .right box. I could watch him all day! His no nonsense enforcement and demeanor is truly phenomenal. The King's Troop are doing an amazing job. Hope you're enjoying your weekend John. Thanks! For part 2.,❤️💂♀️👏👏

Great pickup of seeing GSM Stokes in mufti. He's not quite as intimidating as he is when in full ceremonial dress, wearing the bearskin cap.

Putting the box there has certainly made an enormous difference. The horse no longer gets mauled and the troopers are less stressed. Well done whoever gave the order for the boxes.

This gunner has surpassed all the guards from all the regiments! My favourite from now on! He's alert and efficient! To be fair, that man who is the boss on the ground did walk nearer to the white line than the woman earlier. I have actually seen a gatesman of the blues and royals shouting make way to the favourite COH that has now left this part of the army. Rules are rules! 👍👏❤

Hi John. A great part 2. I loved the way the lady gunner in camo's tried to show the nervous horse his buddy at the other end. She was so patient with him. It was lovely to see. Also good to see that they decided to change the horse straight away, & not try to put him in the box again. Unlike HCAV who try & try before changing the horse.

That view over the parade ground was just beautiful. The whole of Horseguards is just amazing to look at. The stable woman was so lovely with the scared horse. So kind and patient and knew when to take the horse back in. Great to see. Great to see the horse charging gunner was still in great form. Parts one and two both brilliant. Many thanks.

The Gunner horse stance reminds me of how the Gateman and chitsman stand in the arches his front legs. A beautiful horse, who stand firmly and alert, to his surroundings. As does his rider. No messing attitude. Love it that he recognized Garrison Sargeant Major Stokes. 😊

High John I think you were joking but in Part 1 the horse didn't "headbutt" the child. He nuzzled her which was the absolute minimal contact the horse can employ. I think it just startled her. That horse was so curious and wanted to interact with all the tourists.
@tammycawman773623 сағат бұрын
Gunner is absolutely amazing! Clearly people seem to get it when you enforce the rules, which the gunner is taking the rules seriously and enforcing them. This gunner should be in a leadership position other Troppers should take his lead and be this professional.

The vocal gunner in the right hand box is doing great. His horse looks so much like my boy , he also had the same daft squinny. He had this cross between a squeal and whinny when he got a bit bothered or impatient. He kept doing it once in a show ring and the judge told him to “shut up”. He carried on, but very quietly which had everyone laughing. My boy passed 10 years ago after 23 wonderful years together. I still miss him dreadfully. It was so sweet hearing that squinny again🥹🥰

25:13 Hi there, horses are generally good at hearing both higher and lower frequencies than humans they can also hear and react to sounds 4400 meters (2.73 miles) that’s why their ears are constantly moving and they are a lot more sensitive to loud noises maybe that’s why this horse is unsettled at the moment

It seems strange to remember that it's only been 2 months ( 25th September ) since the white lines were first introduced I don't know about anyone else but it now feels like they've been there much longer ! Like anything new being implemented it always takes time to become the " norm " both for those working , Troopers/Gunners and for members of the public . Tour guides are giving their groups instructions regarding the lines , in some cases other tourists are telling people where to stand , hopefully some are watching videos like this and learning . There will always be the oblivious ones , you meet them in all walks of life every day 😀. Plus the individuals who want their 15 minutes of " infamy " on various platforms , like the " little boy " on Wednesday who is now " famous " for all the wrong reasons ! Imho I can happily say it's a success , in the next couple of months we'll see less and less infringements leading to I hope the disappearance of the spammers who will have nothing to film 😁. Hope you had a good Saturday John , looking forward to our next walk with you 😊

I also noticed yesterday in part 1 she moved the horse closer to the edge of the box for the families and minions :) I thought that was kind. I don't find anything wrong. She enforces the rules and makes exceptions !
