[@ianallen8305]

The tourist

[@Priscilla-yi8dq]

Can't people recognize the horse has discomfort some where and try to find out the problem and do something to help instead of ignoring the situation ? Those horses needs to be checked out right away when they start showing signs of discomfort . The guard just sits there like a knot on a log not paying attention to his or hers horse and try to do something themselives to find out the problem of their horse and do something to relieve the horse 's discomfort

[@annpachini2155]

How would the guard help. He would have to dismount and they have certain procedures. He may have already pushed the button for assistance. All those people around the horse is a definite aggravation for the horse.

[@StandingStillStuff]

@@annpachini2155 I agree about the aggravation but the guard did not notice the rein over the eye..

[@annpachini2155]

@@StandingStillStuff how do you know, you only saw what 3 or 4 minutes in a video. When they push the button they don’t get instant response. Secondly he’s holding a sword in one hand and the reins in the other, he can’t remove the rein. It took the other soldier several attempts to flip it over.

[@HugsBach]

The Trooper was really good to this impatient mount. I noted that the Trooper was using the mild Snaffle bit and totally loose was the curb bit. De-escalating the pressures on the horse's mouth.

[@jimclark6256]

Well spotted, one handed rein control, no use feet. Horse was sending a signal with his front feet. Guard would not allow horse to leave hais post until he was under control. Very important for horse to know the guard was in control.

I wholeheartedly agree ref the distress of the horses. This daily circus should be abandoned! There is more than enough to see and do in London without putting these beautiful, sensitive, animals through this daily nonsense. ‘Respect’ is often quoted on this channel, well how about extending a little more to Dobbin?

[@chrisk1732]

The right hand rein was over the horses head ,the mounted guard did not notice or was unable to solve the problem . The army chap on foot ,saw & sorted the reins as soon as he approached the horse . ***( Bridget .O Stand corrected ,deleted inexperienced )***c.k.

[@lyndavarty4402]

The guard knows about the rein but he's only got two hands.

[@Mamajenna]

The army chap was there to fix it. There are no "inexperienced" mounted guards . He has protocol. He has a sword in one hand and the other in control of the horse. He cant break protocol to attend to the rein however much he wants to. It is not a "normal" situation!

[@gwenstone8171]

He tried to shake the rein free but it was impossible without having a third hand.

[@emmawillard1832]

Rein over the horse's head on his right ear. Flopping in the right eye. Horse is right to object.

I love these horses. No matter how well they have been trained, for them to have to stand still for 2hrs at a time, with a man sitting on his back and have to put up with the noise from the tourists, alot of whom have no respect for what they do, along with the usual street sounds must be extremely difficult and very frustrating. ❤
