Any, assistance to them should be terminated! Since they have so much time on their hands, let them get a job! London, I love you!! But the level of audacity of what they did. . . #ItsAboutToGetREAL

I want to thank you for the voice over and explaining what was going on. I saw Sizzler yesterday when I found your channel. I'm not sure how many videos I've watched, but I was looking for Sizzler again. And there he or she was. I love your channel and have subscribed. Do you know the name's of any books that go into detail about the history of the King's Guard? Thank you again. A new friend from the USA. (We kind of get a bad rap. We're not all loud and pushy.🙂) God Bless you.

I was going to see how the lady trooper handled getting off an over 18 hand horse. She had to balance her whole body after swinging her leg over in order to gracefully descend and not end up too close or under the horse. She used great strength and equilibrium perpendicular to the horse’s back lining up perfectly before aiming her legs toward the ground. She is a LOT stronger than she looks!!!

These videos demonstrate the great appeal of horse mounted military to the people from around the world. Amazing diversity of visitors. I can’t help but think, despite the “rudeness” or “disrespect” of some of the visitors, that all visitors contribute to the economy that would be sorely missed if more draconian policies are instituted. Black informational signs posted on one side of the boxes are tasteful, perhaps bigger RED signs might be universally recognized as warning signs of danger which may result in better behavior?

You hit the nail on the head. “ I’m a stickler for detail”. And, that is why your channel is so popular. You explain everything going on and, you always seem to be where the action is and capture the most entertaining, educational, and bizarre things that happen there. I am surprised that it is, repetitively, the same sect of people who are so rude and disrespectful to the guards. It is as though they have not been cultured and know how to behave as adults. I would have thought the opposite of those folks. I think the word has spread amongst the guards, and there are not goi g to tolerate their shenanigans anymore. I laughed the minute the Chitsman started marching back and forth, and didn’t stop, the minute they walked up in front of him. He wasn’t having it. So much entertainment in one video! Loved it, John.

From 1692 until 1955, all Army pensions were administered by and paid from the Royal Hospital Chelsea, which is why all Army pensioners were often referred to as Chelsea Pensioners. Those who lived 'Out', in the UK or abroad and received their pension in cash from agents around the country were known as Out-Pensioners.

Very charismatic dashing Life Guard Captain there, I've seen him before, he seemed to be such at ease with everything going around him, the way he was explaining everything in such a pleasant and calm manner. Maybe someday, who knows, we'll have the honour of you interviewing him, John☺☺ He would make for such a great tour guide. The trooper on Sizzler managed to pull it off brilliantly, it didn't look good the way Sizzler had the meltdown at the beginning of his shift. I've seen the trooper leading Sizzler into the box before, as a boxman or gateman, now he was on crowd&horse control. He does sometimes give me a somewhat stern, direct and very determined vibe when he's a boxman, the way he handles horses. I've seen him preparing Lancelot for the Elizabeth Cup as well, i couldn't mistake him because of his tattoos on his arms hah, they are very unique😀 A determined manner is good, i guess, but i didn't see him comforting horses too much, it's not his thing. The trooper on Sizzler managed to calm him down with pats and scratches/caresses,while Sizzler did the "polka" dance a bit in the box, but he didn't get into the "waltz" too much, which was a good sign. I guess we should never under-estimate the power of soothing words/gestures with most horses in distress.

@paulinemegson8519 3 ай бұрын

@@paulinemegson8519 Wow! So horses can pick up on the mental and emotional state of the rider. Thank you so much for confirming this for me, what i wrote above was based on my observations and my intuition, but not too much from prior riding experience. So sometimes, horses may display a certain irritated behaviour not because of something explicitly bothering them but because they are reacting to how the troopers feel/behave at that point in time, am i correct in saying this? For me, it's very important to know because i can re-evaluate certain situations that i have watched regarding certain horses at Horse Guards behaving oddly and without obvious reasons(excluding medical ones of course). Incidentally, it was one particular trooper, different horses, almost identical odd behaviours from the horses.

@paulinemegson8519 Ай бұрын

@@Roox8115 well if you really want an illustration of this, look at the way the horses behaved after the incident with the horses that bolted in London earlier in the year. The troopers were doing their best to keep calm, and just carry on the routine but EVERYone was on edge….how could they not be? And all the horses were nervy and jumpy because of it. The thing is, humans, even tho we might look calm, show a lot of signs that animals can pick up, when under stress, from simple chemical markers that alter our scent, to the way our voice sounds, to the tightening of muscles that a horse can FEEL when being ridden. Not to mention that these troopers lives revolve around the horses while they’re in ceremonial….they live next to them, their care is their primary task, and they spend most of their waking hours around them, and this creates a bond. That said a GOOD horseman keeps their own feelings under control because they’re the one in charge and it’s their responsibility to keep their horse calm. Watch Princess Anne when she is controlling a jittery mount. Utterly calm. Or better still, the Queen when she had shots fired at her while riding, sidesaddle, in procession, and her horse, understandably, spooked. Completely calm, and concentrating on calming her Mount which she did, very quickly.

Yes!! The horses are massively stressed!! Even though their shifts are short,the wall of noise is deafening. There is no way for some of the horses to turn it “off.” I learned horses are prey animals. When they feel threatened or can’t make sense of a situation, their goal is to get away to safety. As big and powerful as they are, uncertainty and fear can terrify any horse. Kudos to the Household Cavalry!! You exemplify all that makes a horse a”good horse.”you bring out the best in each one. The love and respect is mutual. As for the ignorant horde that descends upon you daily. Go home learn manners and respect for others, especially the horses!! If that’s not your style,or it’s beneath you, STAY HOME!!

Poor Sizzler had a tough shift! Those cobbles are so treacherous to their shoed hooves, they slide around so much when they get jumpy, it freaks me out! I’ve seen some near falls and I find myself reaching out to keep them from falling, as if I could stop it! I do the “mom” reflex thing like a weirdo!🙄🙀😹🐎❤️

The horses have made a decision, I tell ya'.

The rider of sizzler is absolutely amazing. He is so intune with that horse it’s impressive. He’s one heck of a rider. The rider of overlord was incredible herself. The way she dismounted that huge horse was something to witness!

Hi again John, thanks again for your video. Wow so much happening, and yet more meltdowns, something is not right. Thanks again ❤️

@LynnL3588 3 ай бұрын

I think quite a few of the meltdowns are from new horses that haven’t been there before. 😊

Great video John. I don’t have a picture of Sizzler. I don’t remember him. He’s a beauty and hope he settles down. Overlord is a beautiful big boy. 😊

He's very young to be wearing all that metal and braid. (I was going to write clobber) Perhaps I'm just very old and he just LOOKS young. Chatting with the elderly gentleman in red. Was this always taking place, with the horses and the changes? I left England as a child and I never even knew of this before. How long has this ritual been taking place? Are there any old films or pictures, in black and white? Were there always crowds watching these events and posing with the men in red and the horses. I'm quite amazed. This was not spoken about in school in England, ever. I'm talking about in the fifties while we still had rationing. It's all news to me. And now we can go into Buckingham Palace, apparently, at a price. Unheard of. I must get over there, somehow. I'll take a boat and relive it all again. I did see a whale in the Atlantic. No one put that on KZbin.

Have to agree, the training and control each of these troopers have is awesome!! They have more patience than many police officers dealing with crowd control.
