I remember this video and when you shared it a few days ago. These two police officers are new, as in this is the first time I've seen either of them. I also noticed they stay in that corner and not do anything till someone else comes out and starts doing crowd control. Either they are so new they don't know what to do, or they don't care. Either way, it's a shame because since they started, there is zero crowd control, even when the horse has a melt down.

It never ceases to amaze me that given the horrific photographs splashed all over the world of the bloody horses bolting through London, that more people aren’t aware that when horses are spooked in the city they damage themselves and other people and cars and it’s just an awful incident. Every time you describe something is extraordinary, John, I like to replace the word with something unprintable! The stupidity of tourists, their lack of awareness and care just astounds me. I’m 63 and well travelled, but I think my travelling days are over because I just can’t cope with the stupidity of tourists and the enormous numbers these days that just ruins the experience. 😢

"Even the pigeon got scared." hahahaha! John, you come out with some zingers. But seriously, that crowd during the guard change was frightening. It's really going to progressively get worse over time. From a birds eye view, I looks like they need to start emergency plans when the yard gets too crazy. You are on the ground all the time, how do you think they could aliviate this problem? Off the top of my head, it might be a good idea to have someone who's duty it is to give a general assessment of the crowds in side the gate about 15 minutes before the guard change, and temporarily prevent any more people from coming in from both directions. It's so dangerous to have that many people in a very closed area. One horse bolting or getting to anxious could trigger anything causing a potentially terrible accident, and even panic in the crowd. wow!

Idiots think it is a freaking petting zoo. They stand around gaping and are too stupid to see that a 450 to 500kg unsettled horse is dangerous. One of my Gran's favourite sayings - Dumb As A Box Of Rocks! I used to ride when I was younger and watching the way the trooper guides and controls the horse, one handed and never losing the correct seat or position of the sword is amazing. I know exactly how difficult that is, and the trooper does it with style and class.
