hi John. Yep, i believe your correct, horse is TALAH. Matches my pics, he also has a small vertical scar on his neck, just above that gold/brass thingy on the breastplate. Also noticed Tabago is a gelding, saw his 'sword' at the changeover. The horse that quit must be a newbie. i have pics but no name. Have a great day and thanks again for the fantastic videos!

I have noticed in several videos an older gentleman that stands near the arch where the concession stand is and the Gatesman or Chitsman stand, I get them confused. Anyway, this older man will discourage people from going too far under the arch. Holds his arm out to block. I like him. They obey him too!

Good day John. I looked up Sangin (if that is how it is spelled) and refers to the Sangin district in Afghanistan that the British forces had occupied. An intensive military engagement occured between the Taliban and the British forces. The siege of Sangin 2006-2007. Since it was mentioned that some horses named after battles, perhaps that is where the name came from? I could be wrong, have been before, just a guess.🤔

Yes, Sangin. I think the only reason I remembered the Afghan link was one of the trooper's mentioning it to me before.

[@elainebrooksbank5281]

i know people have the right to protest but they shouldn’t have the right to prevent other people going about their lawful business and bring the entire city centre to a stand still. Other people have rights too. I’d like to bet that half of those protesters couldn’t find Palestine on a map. Everyone wants the killing to stop but many of them seem to be there to support a group which our government, amongst others, have labelled as a terrorist organisation. Bringing a city to a standstill some 2235 miles away from the place they want to “free” won’t achieve anything. If they feel so strongly there’s nothing to stop them signing up to actually fight for their cause rather than just being a civic nuisance. Tourism is a staple of our economy and those constant protests will, I’m sure, prevent many people coming to enjoy the unique sites our capital has to offer. How many protests have there been so far and has any one of them changed a thing? But I can’t blame the horse for staging his own protest though. He obviously decided enough’s enough and he was off back to his stable.

don't believe this is the channel to discuss current political issues other than our concerns over any disrespect shown to the Horse Guards, if anyone is upset they can always take their concerns to their governmental representatives -

[@elainebrooksbank5281]

@@battles146 may I respectfully point out that I live over 200 miles away - high up in the Pennines - and were it not for this channel, I wouldn’t have a clue about any protest, or the disruption it caused, in London. But, it being highlighted in the video was the catalyst which prompted my comment. As always I stick to my principle that comments should be non-aggressive and innocuous and commenting on the disruption to everyone else’s right to go about their business unhindered was, in my opinion, apolitical. Nor was there any political motive in pointing out that none of the many protests so far have achieved anything - it’s a fact no matter which side of the political divide you happen to support. This channel has also spent time videoing some of the protests when they have caused Horse Guards to close again and, with the exception of one or two incidents, they have been relatively peaceful - if somewhat noisy. But to some such large crowds with their drums and horns and megaphones will not only be disruptive - which is, I assume, their goal - but also be intimidating. And tourist who don’t know their way around and don’t know of alternative routes to take to reach the places they want to visit could have their no doubt expensive but limited time in London ruined. There is no politicking in suggesting that while exercising their right to protest they consider that other people have rights too.

I pointed out to the officers at horse guards about the wall of buses and the horses freaking out. one you filmed last year did the same thing when a load of buses parked all the way past horse guards all front to back all the way along with no gaps between them, and the tourists came out of the yard and were brushing up against the horse trying to get past the horse and tourists coming from the other direction as well, along with the ones standing looking at the horse. quite often the horse will look up above the tourists heads and can see all the way over the road, but when the buses are like that it forms a wall practically in front of the horse and they are closed in

Flying from Canada next weekend so excited, I’ll be 67 this Friday and feel like a teenager ❤ can’t wait! Hope to see you John 😊

I will definitely be there on Saturday - hopefully before noon, though not sure what time yet as I'll be staying in a hotel nearby. Please do come and say "hello" if you spot me Denise! Would be lovely to meet you!

[@deniseprevost4516]

We are flying in the Sunday morning. I don’t know all the plans yet. We are going to Yorkshire on Saturday the 18th and back again in London May 25th 😊

I messaged John on instagram ❤

[@garnetj69]

Lmao, I would be sad as well if I had to put up with people touching me all the time, plus the overwhelming scents and smells. 😂😂

Good afternoon John. Great video. I agree that it is Talar. And lovely to see another new one. 😊 The horse that quit is Luxembourg. Tobago is a gelding. Lovely to see Sanguine and Viper again 😊

[@LondonCityWalks]

Brilliant as ever Lynn, thank you!

[@sheilajones9941]

Kath Ellison thanks for the info, it must have been so scary for them!

Hi John. Watching Police and Guards shocked when horse... I think the horse in chitsman's side about 11:30 was Tellah (not sure of spelling). At first I thought it might be Sparta, but after you ID'ed it as Tellah, I saw it's star and socks were a better match in my notes. Thanks for naming the new horse Tobago. What a beauty!

[@LondonCityWalks]

Definitely confirmed as being Talaa : )

[@jeannetteyin2531]

I thought it was Talah as well, based on the head markings
