They are both soldiers. It's just that one is in ceremonial uniform and the other is in combats. 😊

I agree with you but be careful some think that's normal. I have been curse out for saying about the same rging.

Love it to see the little Kings Guard salute the Boss so much respect. Hope the Boss took time to acknowledge him to❤

Never seen both the boxes from that viewpoint before. The officers look great in ceremonial uniforms. Thanks for a great video. ❤

[@joesanchez979]

Those horses are beautiful 😊

[@FunnyBunny-pd5xx]

I often think, the horses look down at the tourists and say to themselves "Glad I have more intelligence than the majority of this lot"

[@cosandrawheeler4013]

I had the thrill to visit the Horse guard Castle! Absolutely wonderful! I'm tired of these tourists with no manners and their disrespect for these dedicated horsemen who do an amazing job. The crazy poses with the horses is unbelievable!!

[@shirleyhigginson4776]

Spoiled by bad swinging camera 🤢

[@margaretshaw2672]

There should be a barrier between the crowds of people and horses and guards for safety. They are an absolute hindrance. Insulting the guards. Messing with the horses reins. Its totally unacceptable. They soon complain when the horse bites them. Having a barrier woul stop all there stupid rude behaviour! The guards and the horses deserve better than this.

[@janetross8601]

Yes definitely..

[@terryweatherford5070]

Only place in the WORLD where you can approach a military guard post and make physical contact with the guard without repercussions. Allow the troopers to use their sabers to protect themselves and their horses.

[@abuelafromhell]

I completely agree, the tourists think it's funny when the guards scream at them so they deliberately provoke them. They don't realise that these people are not just a tourist attraction, they are real soldiers doing their job. At one time an attack on the King's guard was seen as an attack on the King himself. There are so many people crowding around constantly touching the horses and they get agitated too. Barriers would definitely be a good idea for all concerned.

[@janetross8601]

@@abuelafromhell yes I agree but also a notice saying do not touch or go near the horse's they're on duty or something to this affect, tourists think it's funny for the quardsman to shout they have no respect whats so ever ..

[@ladyd8339]

Another Trooper/guard needs to stand near the horse and control the touching and goading of the horse and Trooper!

[@GloriaJacobs-e2r]

The Guards and Horses should be protected at all times. NO ONE should be allowed to get near the Guards or the horses. There are extremely mean people that are waiting for the opportunity to do harm! Wake up!! Protect the Guards and horses!!

[@quarterhorsgirl]

They saw all that horse went through, and they just don't care. They still bombard him and leave him no room to breathe. It just never ceases to amaze me.

[@Omaof2]

I feel for the horses and their guard. Understandable if the horse gets skiddish at times. Umbrellas, movements from the crowds, chatter and touching can ruffle even the best trained horse. If they had old tired plow horses they are more settled, but something a working guardsmen would use. I absolutely adore horses, grew up on a horses back basically. Bareback, twine around the neck and I was always barefoot 😊. Wish I was a young girl again. It would be lovely to be riding again. Love from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁

[@PhantomQueenOne]

Yep! At the end of the day horses are prey animals, no matter how old and meticulously well trained they are.

[@CharmaineNel-t4n]

Beautiful horses and nice guards and police officers

[@lynderherberts2828]

I love seeing the little boys dress up like guards in all the videos. Good parenting, too.

[@susanfresneda2213]

People will do to the guards, what the guards allow them to do! Barriers and crowd numbers and restrictions should be in place. Fines and arrests will instill respect and discipline in the public for the palace guards. 🇨🇦

[@amanda-janekiell2514]

[@dautsjedevreeze8590]

Beautifull horses. That fresh team of horses and guards ai found beautifull because the horse on the right is so much bigger than the otjer one. And the other horse says nope not today much to crowded for me.. Oh sorry I will calm down and do my job mister soldier.. 😂😂😂

[@danbailey8182]

Me being a man who just turned 59 today I must realize that me visiting London is most likely not going to happen ever. The thing is I love history so I sort of count on these videos to see what I may have heard or read about. For example explaining to people Whitehall is not wear Jack the Ripper went to. So using what I know it is not often 2 regiments would be on duty at the same time in the same location. The guy in camouflage is the same regiment as the folks in the dress uniforms. The officers are the same regiment and I appreciate them engaging in conversation. So anyway thanks for the video and lots of love from Canada. Btw when a horse is a bit freaked out get the hell out of the way instead of sitting there gawking. One stomp could easily crush bones including the skull.

[@cosandrawheeler4013]

I actually had the opportunity to do a year of school abroad in Switzerland. During the spring break I spent a week in Paris then took the train under the channel and sent to London. By myself and I was 62 at the time. It is never too late. I did visit the Horse Guard Palace. What an unforgettable thrill! Follow your dream!

[@Wulfyr]

You'll confuse people with these titles. There's enough ignorance about these regiments as it is. They are both King's Guards in the Household Cavalry and they are both active duty soldiers. These titles give the impression that the guys in camo are military and the guys in ceremonial uniform are something else. The only difference between these two men is that one is on ceremonial duty today and the other isn't. Tomorrow the guy in ceremonial uniform will be back in British Army camouflage and the guy in camouflage may well be on horseback in ceremonial uniform. I thought the point of these channels were to be informative. The regiment is active duty with a small amount of its time engaged in ceremonial functions. "King's Guard helps fellow King's Guard" would be a less misdirecting title. Edit: I've just come from a rather frustrating conversation on Quora with a particularly "gifted" US citizen about this very issue. I'm still riled up lol.😆

[@steveellis9065]

Well said, and theoretically like the footguards they are only known as the Kings Guard if the King is in residence in London.

[@helencutler-hu1jg]

Quite correct. Well said!!

[@steveellis9065]

When he is at Windsor then the Windsor Castle Guard becomes the Kings Guard, same principle when the King is at Holyrood, the Royal Regt of Scotland become the Kings Guard

[@Ripplesinthewaters]

Why do so many commenters like to say disrespectful things about the tourists? If they shouldn’t be there, then this should be closed.

[@joycewetherbee7421]

@@Ripplesinthewaterspersonally? I think they’re being stupid. I’ve seen plenty of these videos where the horses’ “personal space” is completely ignored. The warning sign is there for a reason. Yet tourists still walk up to the horse without regard for their safety or that of anyone else. I would assume the guards’ horses are selected for temperament among other traits. Having said that, animals can have off days too. Then it’s on the guard to read his horse’s mood and demand space for the horse.

[@dianapeek6936]

Its no pleasure at all, watching all these people standing around doing nothing at all. They are not interested in the history or the horses, its just a means of killing some time and ticking a box when they get back to wherever they came from.

[@whiskeytango9769]

I wonder about the use of steel shoes on pavement. If the horses shoes had some sort of rubber layer I wonder if that would give them better grip?
