the mounted guards need to start yelling at these idiots again

[@HJKelley47]

People choose to ignore the signs. They want to do what they want to do. If this is presented as an attraction, then folks will treat it as a Disneyland amusement. It would be interesting to find out why they do not want the signs on both sides of the Guards and horses???? When the people come out of the center gates they cannot see the sign on the right. Then that becomes their excuse for putting their hands on the horse. Also, why aren't the guards letting people know not to touch the horse when they start petting them? John do people think they are entitled to touch the horses? So why would there be a problem when people are reminded not to touch the horse?

[@isobelduncan]

Whether they can shout or not is up their higher ups.

[@crs9796]

This is a military installation and needs to be controlled. It is not a fun fair amusement park, and these soldiers are not there for the amusement of the masses. If people can't show some respect and ability to behave in such a place, then lock it down or put the tourists in viewing areas where they cannot interfere with the duties of these serving soldiers.

[@SynappticUser-ew6ql]

Couldn't agree more. The ModD can't control these idiot tourists. It time to shut this down to the public. Westminster Council need to get a grip of this situation.

[@maryholder3795]

​@@SynappticUser-ew6qlunfortunately I think not. Westminster Council just controls the pavement that's it. They could feel it's not their responsibility, but it's a matter of health and safety, with a busy road behind the Tourons.

I totally agree with you there should be at least a 3 metre NO GO zone around the horse boxes and the numbers in the yard should be limited. Otherwise signs on both sides of the box.

Dann sollen sich die Soldaten auch so verhalten!!! Die sitzen stoisch auf ihren Pferden und lassen stumm zu, dass ihr Pferd einfach begrapscht wird. Was zu Teufel sind das denn für Soldaten?

[@elizabethlock6169]

The way this is organized is not working. Military personnel need to be far more assertive. Strongly worded, loud instructions must be delivered, and tourists sent packing at least 30 feet back. Tourists are doing whatever they like, which is an appalling situation. The signs are being ignored!

[@Golden1989-days]

As I have said before. If the horse can turn his head either way and touch a tourist, THE TOURISTS ARE TOO BLOODY CLOSE!!! Troopers, make the mob give your horse space. It is just not fair to the horses.

[@lyndavarty4402]

[@ToniHunterOne]

I don't think the closeness is really the issue, if the tourist respectfully approach the horse. So many tourists are anxious to push in ahead of others and they zip up on the poor horse. It's a wonder the horses haven't bitten someone directly in the face. I'd startle if someone zoomed up in my space. They think these Regal working Horses are just pets.

Exactly. It's not just the tourists and not fair to always say the tourists are in the wrong.

[@j.103]

No, rules are rules !! It’s hot and those horses are stressed enough…..Teach these jerks about personal space !

[@Babs3353]

Guards need to use Their mouths to stop this. Not have to jerk the reins (btw, attached to long shank bit) which is painful for the horse. Pitiful. 😢

[@sandytompkins3748]

Usually 2 officers are standing together, why in heavens name can’t one keep tourists back so people aren’t crowding the horse🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Ladypython1]

Thanks, John, for I enduring the crowds for so long . Don't think I could do it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@bettynowill6472]

Are some people so numb they don't react when a horse starts stomping around in or out of the box? When a huge animal like that starts tossing his body, legs or feet about there is an excellent chance I may climb the nearest person, or at the very least, get out of the darned horse's space! These people just stand there smiling at the camera, not giving an inch. ARE THEY NUTS??

[@SylviaD1223]

I was so stressed out in the beginning of the video. I don’t blame you from taking a break. Was so out of control

[@helenking-sw6gn]

Hi I did wonder if these Guards are new and do not like to tell the tourists not to touch the horse, it was just a thought because I could not think of any other good reason not to tell the tourists “Don’t touch the horse”. Hope you are feeling better John and a big hello to everyone🐎🐎🐎🐎

[@bibakroll8999]

I understand what you're saying but they're professional soldiers! Are they really that timid that they "do not like" to tell people to obey the rules? If that's the case, then we really are all doomed.

[@helenking-sw6gn]

@@bibakroll8999 i feel exactly the same as you but just could not think of any other reason for them not to say something.

[@bibakroll8999]

@@helenking-sw6gn Yes, I agree, it's certainly a puzzle.

[@christinegordon5372]

I was wondering the same.

[@StephanieDale-o4n]

John I am concerned about some of the rhetoric. Yes we would all like the horses to have more protection but who are your followers to demand that troopers should be fired. We do not know what orders they have been given. Presumably if HCAV are unhappy with individual troopers they will be reprimanded, if not its not our business. Secondly what is the purpose of the signs are they warning signs to absolve the MOD of responsiblity in the case of members of the public being bitten or injured. It would be interesting to learn if they are happy with them.

[@JackyFuller]

The stable man who told the tourists to move back was in the box last year. He had no problem shouting at the tourists. He has a very distinctive voice

[@GerryHall-y3h]

Two signs are maybe the answer ,,,and also the Tour Guides Tell the people what they are Not to Touch the hourse..in fact dont Touch anything!!!! ☺️ greetings from Germany Dear John 🙏🏼

[@hilarymorris8578]

Tourists suddenly became horse whisperers on vacation. They are very disrespectful.

[@susanaustin4809]

Even the horse know they folks are to close!!!!

[@triciakemish2134]

I hope your children did well in their exams John! Take care and keep up the brilliant work you do for us. I’m physically disabled and can’t get out much so I adore watching your video. Keep yourself safe John and watch your pockets!! Best wishes and take care. Thank you!

[@caseybettis695]

THE HORSES ARE NOT PETTING ZOO HORSES M! THE GUARDS SHOULD SPEAK UP !

[@patin319]

I am in shock ……it got so out of hand the poor horse was so anxious …….so sad!

[@Kimberly-dn4mc]

Hi John. I just want to let you know, that while I don't like what these tourists are allowed to do, I still always give you a thumbs up, because you put so much work into every video for we peasants! It's very much appreciated.

[@larnakeane8940]

Please, please before a serious accident occurs or a horse is traumatized!!!!protect the Guard and the Horses. People are out of Control with picture taking posing....grabbing....it is hard to watch!

[@markc5111]

Come on.... this is bloody ridiculous 😮😮😮. The way things are a the moment the soldiers are far to trusting.

[@asaholmgren3796]

Just love your way to take care of things, not being afraid of telling people! Keep on like that!

[@ritapitt8273]

Your right John, the stableman said something to the trooper, and also pointed the sign out to him. All I can think is troopers are being told one thing, and some other boss is saying different 🤷

[@loricaler3515]

why isnt the guard yelling at these idiots. SIGN SAYS DONT TOUCH THE HORSE!
