I understand because of safety concerns they are keeping the middle gate closed. However I worry if something really happens the masses of people in the yard will not be able to get out in time.

[@bettyalexkollias8058]

Yes John, you're absolutely right. At 7:50 you can see the chain hanging and flying around, and the chain under the horses head is tight, probably upsetting the horse. Yes, same horse, Tabor, only mark i can see is a small white dot low on his right front leg. Thor is on the right.

[@B.Hollis]

You don’t have to speak English to understand to run when a horse starts coming towards you.

[@cindyjenkins17]

THANK YOU!!😮😮

[@momof2boys895]

i thought same thing....they just tried getting closer to wall....if they had gotten kicked would have been their own fault

[@nancybrown2207]

I’m sorry but no matter what language you speak or understand if a horse is upset and pinning you against a wall you get out of the way….

[@colleenbarber3517]

Yes but that requires having Common Sense. Unfortunately Common Sense doesn’t grow in everyone’s garden.

[@ipoh3629]

😅😅😅😅

[@maevephipson2803]

Having watched Horse Guards for nearly 4 yrs, it seems to me that apart from no common sense, there is oblivion with regard to the actual size and WEIGHT of the horse. 600kgs-800kgs. (Drum horses even bigger and heavier.) The weight alone can flatten a human. I think tour guides need to learn about horse behaviour and impart that knowledge to their tour groups. The simple signal of a horse's ears flattened back is a clear indication of horsey not happy, move away from it. People taking pictures should not be encouraging people to stand closer to the horse. Every human and animal has it's comfort zone. Sure, it adds to the excitement when a Boxman, Gatesman or Chitsman (Chicksman) shout at tourists. Personally I would like a responsible person of authority (e.g. Retired Cavalry) standing at each horse box stopping people getting too close to the horse, or touching the horse (because that inevitably leads to rein grabbing, horse eye poking etc.). Tourists need to know their boundaries and learn that Cavalry horses are highly trained and should be admired for their stature, not irritated by tourists. I am just an old Gran (77) who loves the Military, parades, ceremonies and admiring the Cavalry in their spectacular uniforms and magnificent horses, but gets grumpy with stupid tourists 🤷🤦🏼‍♀️🤗

[@bonnietorix5818]

I don't care what language you speak. When a horse is about to trample you, move your . You really shouldn't need anyone to tell you in your language that you are about to be smashed against the wall, and then trampled. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE, MOVE AWAY!! And they say animals are dumb. Well, not hardly.

[@SalyLuz-hc6he]

With so few people actually living in the country or having experience with large animals, I find that I often see people without common sense anymore. I guess that common sense is just not very common nowadays.

[@user-ej2bt4ki3d]

Do the tour guides have to book in, or just all turn up at the same time.?

[@angelaearthy5161]

The curb chain had become detached at one side, which may have been upsetting the horse. I'm guessing they took the horse into the stable yard and sorted it out, so the horse was much calmer on his return.

[@cathaeirmor8886]

Yep ..agree

[@user-nc9wx8li7s]

My thought too

[@dresdelparry2346]

If it is the same horse which is more than likely, it could've been something else like the bit pinching his lip or something caught under the saddle or strap, which is causing discomfort, which is why the horse returned so quickly and more relaxed after it was adjusted. It's not as if they can tell us! Oh! For us humans to be more telepathic with our animal friends! The day will come! I'm a little telepathic with my daughter at times, which she finds a little frustrating! 😅 So we're beginning to evolve genetically as I'm not the only one. 😊

[@conniecabanela8573]

Maybe a calming juice?

[@heatherharvey3129]

Spot on @angelaearthy5161 - you could see it dangling from the left hand side of his bit and every head movement of the horse made it jangle and move around under his head where he can't clearly see it. No wonder he was getting spooked.

[@paulinedixon3490]

Do the idiots not understand when the guard yells. GET BACK. that’s exactly what he means.

[@SalyLuz-hc6he]

Perhaps not. If they don’t speak English, and they can’t read the signs on the wall, and if they have absolutely no experience with large animals or farms, then they probably don’t know how to behave around large animals. Sad!

[@SalyLuz-hc6he]

[@lynnclark7621]

No, it's not sad. People need to realize these are guards and horses on duty. This is their job and if they can't read the signs, they need to get an app on their phone that can translate it for them.​@SalyLuz-hc6he

[@user-lb3hd7ip4o]

TOO MANY TOURISTS THEY SHOULD BE MOVED ON. UNFAIR ON GUARDS AND HORSES 🤔

[@MrTrapdrummer]

Tabor's rider is a riding instructor, indicated by the stirrup badge on his right arm, which thus explains his excellent control when the horse was playing up. Great videos, thanks for posting!

[@maryelyse5633]

he was riding on the snaffle too instead of the curb which makes me think new horse too. Ive noticed a couple horses ridden on the snaffle and Im thinking they all must be new softer mouth horses. They are started on soft gentle rubber snaffles.

[@loganwhite3904]

Good eye!

[@Wiccanglen]

The chain under Tabor's chin was not connected to both sides. When he was fussing I noticed the length of chain hanging on his right side. He came out chain fixed.

[@angelaearthy5161]

Yes, the Curb chain had become detached at one side, meaning the trooper would have had less control.

[@lynnedecision9867]

Those horses are so beautiful. One never gets tired of watching them

[@Rebel4Freedom]

TBS They're really are.😊 @LondonCityWalks have you seen Bradford lately?

[@misfitwitch]

I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter what language you speak, when the back end of a horse is coming at you, especially one of a horse that big, you MOVE your own back end out of the way... I would think that's a universal language like a Stop Sign... OMG.. I was kicked by a horse super hard as a kid and MAN was that a life lesson... Glad they were okay and didn't get squashed or kicked... Trooper did a great job trying to control the horse..

[@christinewhitfeld7939]

The tourist that gave a slap is probably a horse person. That’s what we all do to praise them. 😊

About that "unhappy horse,it appeared he was possibly having a problem with either the right side of his face or his bit. He was using his right leg to paw the ground. That's what I saw, anyway. BTW, you always do a great job and you're very funny!

Yeah think it happened so fast by the time they realized what was happening, the horse was almost pinning them to the wall, and they weren't sure which way the horse was going to go. I get it.

I have written before about my Grandfather, the horse whisperer, He was there, at the racecourse, one day helping settle the horses for the start, this was before stalls .They were very young, one in particular was really skittish. Anyway Grandad settled him well, and started to walk away. He heard some shouting and realised that no matter what the jockey did the horse was determined to follow Grandad who had to take him back.

It's possible the first time the horse came out of the box, they started to get a new horse ready, and they took him off when the new horse was ready. The guard dismounts then mounts in a couple of minutes. I suspect the Corporal of Horse was prepared for this.

[@janisoconnor6881]

They need to shut the doors immediately because horses can see behind them without turning their heads. So seeing the crowds in front and behind might be disturbing to the horse.

[@raphaelandrews3617]

Yes but some tourist just do not get that horses are real animals , ( I grew up on a farm with horses, cows, pigs and sheep- animals have minds of their own and are not pets ).

[@SalyLuz-hc6he]

I also grew up on a farm, and all my extended family around me were Farmers as well. It seems today that many people don’t ever get the kind of real life experiences that help them develop common sense; and it doesn’t help that neither do most people have personal experience with any large animal or livestock at all. I think that they think this large animal would never hurt them. So many people have over romanticized & anthropomorphized animals, that they just can’t conceive of any animal actually injuring them! I say more young people need to spend some part of school volunteering on a farm. This is such an important part of our history! I’m fortunate to live about 15 miles from a Living History Farm, re-creating family life from the 1880s with the same breeds of traditional animals & crops appropriate for the time & area. Once a month they open up for Saturday morning chores, and you can come and help them feed and water chickens, pigs, sheep, cows, horses, collect the eggs, shovel a bit of manure, etc. If it’s the right time of year you may be able to milk a cow, watch manual sheep shearing or horse plowing & grain planting. There are usually some hands-on activities such as shelling corn off the cob. In winter sometimes we got to go on a sleigh ride in the snow! You can see a working wood shop & blacksmith, and often people spinning wool, weaving, knitting, gardening , cooking on a cast iron wood stove etc. of course we got to taste some of whatever they were baking! I’ve been appalled about some of the answers we hear from other people bringing city kids out, children who have no idea where their milk comes from. A few of them said the store, but not one said a cow! Doing a few chores at different times of year can really help you appreciate how easy most of us have it in our lives. 💙👩🏼‍🌾🖖🏼

The chain that goes under the chin is called a curb chain this had come loose and means the rider doesn't have as much control as they would if it was on

[@maryfarey41]

Hello John from Australia - This is a good example of when to shut the gates to control the number of people, not only for their protection but for the protection of the horses and guards. Why doesn't someone wake up and take this into consideration. One day someone, visitor, guard or horse is going to be badly injured and then they will have to be accountable.

[@elainebrooksbank5281]

I couldn’t see which part of the harness you were talking about but did you mean the curb chain which prevents the bit from rotating in the horse’s mouth which could make it very uncomfortable. If they adjusted the curb chain it wouldn’t have taken long and would have made a huge difference to how the horse was feeling. It doesn’t matter where those two tourists came from or what language they speak - if a huge horse is prancing around in front of you and no one knows which direction it will go to just standing there up against a wall which it could flatten you up against at any minute translates as “dumb” in any language.
