When it rains John do the troopers in the arches get wet? It always looks wet where their standing.

[@BlueIsis433]

John is Ransome a mare? Because the horse looked like a mare when leaving the box and also looked a lot like Yvonne, looking closely at the hooves you can just make out coronets. Also recently there was an ambulance inside horseguards I believe the incident was because a tourist had an epileptic seizure. Thanks for an interesting video.

[@LynnL3588]

Geli said it was Yvonne 😊

[@haroldgreen5261]

John,could you show us a picture of yourself so we see who is behind the camera?

[@haroldgreen5261]

From Michigan,USA

[@user-nt2dq5qf2z]

That's who John is a very respectful person. So sweet and funny. He always brightens my day.

[@user-dm1pt4ru6e]

Me too. Here I am at 2:45 am . 🤪

[@marilyncasabuena4275]

It takes tremendous efforts & patience to film what’s happening at Horse Guards. We can always count on you rain or shine. Take care & be safe out there…

[@anneliekerremans71]

Massive shout-out to the❤troopers and❤️ police officers, super friendly!!! It’s no easy task to keep the horses in check with one hand in their uniforms 👏👏I hope it’s nothing serious and thank you John ☀️

[@josephturner7569]

Have you noticed how the horses tolerate kids more than adults?

[@dianapeek6936]

Of course, it always has been the case.

[@paulinemegson8519]

Kids aren’t as threatening as adults. This is something that I wish more adults thought about. Yes they may well be as threatening as a limp dishrag, yes THEY may just want to smother the horse with sickly luuuurrrrve or align its energy to the sacred ley lines of the way of the utterly clueless or whatever🙄………BUT, to the horses they’re strangers, not to mention strangers who both sound too loud and move erratically, so they’re a potential THREAT!!! Horses are prey……to them ANYthing they don’t KNOW could want to eat them, which is why they shy at “deadly crisp packets”, “predatory umbrellas”, and loudmouth twats and squealing “fit to cut glass” schoolgirls…..and often women whose schoolgirl days are well and truly past ‘em. And horses only have two ways to deal with threats…..fight or flight, and these horses can’t run.

Actually the injured person was being treated back in the stable area during this video, but John’s always careful not to intrude.

Learnt so much about Household Cavalry & Horseguards since watching your vids John 👍 your humour stands out amongst other channels, brilliant stuff ❤😅

[@user-zl7ec2lg6e]

If stupidity were a disease, we’d be having an epidemic! Never seen such silly craziness , with fake touching the horses, pointing at them as if we can’t see them, etc. John, thank you for doing the hard work so that we can enjoy your history and your lovely country. ❤❤❤

[@littlebigkicker]

what are u talking about

[@user-dm1pt4ru6e]

That pointing and the V sign drives me crazy. But people do funny things. Here in Montana, they go to Yellowstone Park and walk up to bison and bears. They also walk up to Elk. It’s partly in Montana and partly in Wyoming.

[@relimary987]

Ich glaube das die Pferde sehr gestresst sind , wenn so viele Leute zu nahe kommen . Steht auf Schild das die Leute Distanz halten.

[@mcintoshsh]

Hi John I don't know the older gentleman's name ( I call him Percy) who is an ex Guard. I had hoped they had tucked him in behind the shop when it chucked down. They had! Yay! Saw him come out dry after. It would be marvellous if you could interview him. Imagine the stories he could tell, the knowledge. Anyways appreciate you even more on the cruddy days!

[@kimrose7666]

I think John has amazing talent in bringing these videos to life, he has such a wonderful voice makes me proud to be british

[@carmelapentifallo8823]

No one should tell you how to video, I find you the best the best, you move your camera,you talk. The others that I have seen are boring .No talk, camera stays in one spot even if something going on they don’t follow. I love your videos.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-zl7ec2lg6e]

That group of tots are better behaved than most high school groups!! Love their excited voices while looking at the horses. I taught kindergarten for years, best job I ever had. ❤❤❤❤

Love it when you use Thor " I'm guarding, your filming" 31:47 😂😂 "Shall I get a picture with the animal" Thor expression he is so pofaced, your comment and Thor a match made in Horse Guards. Its official you John have made my day, best giggle 🤭 I've had today. 👍 Thanks 👍

Hi John It's nice to see a group of young kids from the navy cadets being so polite & respectful, very glad that the ambulance was not for a trooper, but hope who ever is was fore are ok

[@joraston]

The was a garden party at the palace hosted by The Prince of Wales(minus The Princess of Wales) at Buckingham Palace. It was on our news here in Western Australia and it was pouring down the entire time.

[@dianapeek6936]

And yet everyone was in the very best clothes, especially the Royal Family who looked wonderful. All the men in top hat and tails. Its something we Brits do best of all.

[@amazinggrace5692]

When it pours, you move the party indoors do you not? Hard t9 mingle with umbrellas involved and so it would just be a lot of people in their good clothes and shoes standing around in the rain. Ridiculousness!

[@rianorman3526]

The lady trooper is VERY impressive!!! Hope you dry out soon John!! Xxx

[@heatherharvey3129]

I would love to see our "Viking" police officer partnered with the great female police officer who clearly loves the horses, is very helpful but also very firm when it is required. They're always fully on point in the yard and out the front.

[@elainebrown5586]

Cocktail dress and silver heels at that time of the day in rain - sounds like a walk of shame lol

[@paulinemegson8519]

Well she’s CERTAINLY not from the Palace Garden Party😱🤣

[@kathellison8084]

She must have missed the early morning ride home with the milkman 😂😂😂

[@rena3654]

Ransom seems pleasant. He seems to be a licker rather than a biter. Hope he stays that way.

[@maryholder3795]

Sometimes the tourists look like a tidal wave 🌊 as they roll across the yard to get to the pavement. And still they come, not worried about the other people. Thor stand his ground, bless him, you can almost hear him think "what!!'

[@Barbara_Schulz]

He said it’s not a meeting hall 😂🍻

[@paulinemegson8519]

Which is fair enough. Imagine if there’d been a REAL emergency and an ambulance had needed to get thru there. Doesn’t bear thinking about.

[@annaking9213]

John, great video! The tourist spray comment was so funny. We never know what your going to come up with to say. The 6 foot lady Life Guard was great . Love seeing her. Thanks for hanging through the rain.

She is Blues and Royals, not Life Guards.😊

I always say " it's an icky crappy day " I lived in London back in the 1970's. I visited London again back in 2014. I love London, but I know I will never see it again My health is failing, I can no longer travel. I love your channel. It keeps me connected to London. Thank you John.

[@lesleycooke6226]

Brilliant John!! Excellent footage so discreet and professional of you while the Ambulance was in the yard 🤞 all is well. Ransom made me laugh with all the tourists and kids it was like he was talking to them all to get lost😂😂 all the horse's we seen were Magnificent. Thank you John Stay Safe ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@margaretknight9637]

Hi John, Sincere thanks for your superb filming at Our King's Royal Guards. I am an elderly lady from Perth, Western Australia, who would really love to see NO touching of the Trooper horses. By painting a large WHITE line out from either side of each guard box to the Bollards. This would help to keep the Trooper horses calmer when so many disrespectful tourists, who all have different smells and vibes for the Trooper horses having to put up with. These Troopers are WORKING, and despite many having contrary viewpoints, this area, I believe is NOT for entertainment. I guess Monty is having a well earned break after his wonderful win in the Princess Elizabeth Cup, which I enjoyed watching your podcast. Thanks again for your posts, which I am enjoying immensely. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@cherylschantz9893]

They advertise it as seeing history in action. The horses may be soldiers, but it is a very unique concept.

[@paradiseana7634]

First of all. I luv the handsome guardsman you mentioned. He has such a dedication. To duty and his horse. The female guard is fierce. 👏👏They should put a limit. On how many tourists can be inside the gates. At any given time. That was too many people. By the square footage. Thank you! You always do justice. To Buckingham Palace/guards and the horses. Well done!♥️💂‍♂️🇬🇧👍👍👏👏

Lol my son on monday said you won't believe what happened. It poured only at the career center where he is taking general automotive 2nd year. His truck is outside and he was working under the hood and said it it started to pour rain for 10 minutes, no clouds. He had to grab tools and stuff and shut the hood and got soaked. Lol told him don't worry just dad's little black cloud found him😂. Incidently he won top mechanic and his own tools! We are very proud of him. Yeah shiny nails has a name! Hello Ransom!! Whata trooper you are. Haha tourist repellant spray! It looks like Ransom is trying to talk to that group of kids. Defiantly showed a interest in them. Maybe he just wanted small taste of thise colorful snacks Goodness when I read the caption and saw the cover I was worried you fell in the rain. Could see sneaking in the download and post ad your riding to the hospital lol. Sincerely hoping the person is back to rights quickly. Thor looking great as ever as well!
