Cute horse enjoying polo mints and attention from elderly man and had friendly exchange with the guard. Nice to see someone actually ask to give the horse a treat then thank the guard. It's perplexing why tourists grab the reins one after the other even after being warned. That guard showed remarkable patience. Come to think of it, the horse did too! Dunno why, but I wanted to slap that woman who yelled when the horse moved and that stupid teen making fun of the guard having to yell " Make Way." Enjoyed the long vid, thanks!

Tourists seem to have the brains of sheep. i have noticed that if one person touches the reins...irrespective of if the guard admonishes them in some way...often the people after them do too. I also saw a woman overly fushing around a horses face...she left without incident, but the people who came after her somehow felt compelled to do the same thing. Until eventually the horse got annoyed and went to nip. Boundaries are important for sheep. You can't assume they will do anything but follow the behaviour of others.

@kathellison8084 they are such wonderful companions, and mine was also very large at 140 lbs or 63.503 kilos and was also my service dog. Mine was friendly in most instances but were someone to quickly approach me, she would become protective of my space. We lived in the country where I rehabilitated wildlife and she would sit outside with me while wild deer and turkey would graze and dirt bathe within a couple of feet from us but if a stray dog would come on the land, she'd chase them off. She was awesome at responding to hand signals but could be goofy as could be. When my mom was alive, one of my GSD's favorite activities was to chase a potato we'd toss down the tall hill we lived on. Oddly my hubby, mom and GSD passed within a 3 month period about 4 years ago. Please don't think I posted this for sympathy. I've had wonderful experiences shared with them though their memory will always tug at my heart.

The gentleman that asked permission to feed the horse was most likely ex military, based on his carriage and demeanor. And he was rewarded by a “yes.” Something I’ve noticed about those who come for photos. I would never have guessed that so many people, in this day and age, are unable to read. What a tragic situation!! I can only hope that, when they return home someone who can read will school them. Illiteracy is the only reason I can think of…..if they CAN read, and simply disregard the sign, that makes them just your run-of-the-mill rude and disrespectful tourists who clearly have no idea how to behave when visiting other countries and they should STAY HOME! ❤️🐈

But, you are right. Not everyone will think to do that ... but manners don't belong to just English speaking countries. They visit the palace to see the history and pomp and ceremony. I'd never interfere with it, and it's not even my country. Might I add, please, that people's general lack of knowledge about horses is precisely why there is a sign! If a tourist, out-of ignorance, willfully or through lack of English skills, gets hurt by getting too close, who is responsible? Not the palace. They have warned the public.

Hi LCW I believe I saw Arnie the other day. Not sure who filmed the arrival of the young Captain who rode in from the front. But I am 99.9% sure his steed was our Arnie. He had the exact same markings black with just a splash of white on his rear left hoof. Seems Arnie got promoted to Captains horse.

YES ! Arnie was in a video I watched last night, and she is a beautiful lady for sure! The video was of her and Ormonde. If I can find it I'll send you the link if you like

Never ever understand how people Can grab the reins. Or even clap the horse. Perhaps people as tourists detatch the brain. Even a sign they most likely never see. Be polite and respectfull. Help people when you Can and - and keep your sticky fingers in the pockets.

Watch the horses ears. Ears go back flat on their head means leave them alone.

I love your vids! I know I'll never get across the pond to see these awesome guards in person, so thank you. I'm utterly appalled at te ignorance, stupidity and gaul most of the tourists display towards both Guard and Horse when they deserve the deepest respect. Too bad they have to ruin the experience for others.

These people act like they've just moved here from Mars and haven't seen a horse before. They should not touch the animals.

Why is it in todays World we do still have some many people of all ages that can not read a simply sign asking to please do not touch the Reins . God this makes me so mad and how the Guards tolerate this for the Horses sake i will never know. They are Guarding and Protecting what part if this dont we as humans understand. It is always such a very beautuiful display spoilt by so few for so many.

Trooper had his foot out of the stirrup at 11.08. Maybe can't feel it with those stiff boots or not supposed to adjust his tack on duty.😊 😊😊😊

I wonder if it would be possible to put up signs with pictures of the rules, especially since there are many foreigners who may not read English? It would at least cut the excuses a person could use.

The v sign is the bottom part of a heart. It means "love" or "I love you"
