John, did you ever hear who won? Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

[@gamerjaqi7873]

@@jenniferlehman326it was Monty and Trooper Jeffries

[@gamerjaqi7873]

John, the trooper who was giving the interview at the end is my friends youngest. His brother sent me video of him fussing Outlaw who was loving it tossing his head almost like a big dog ❤. He came in 4th over all and first of the Lifeguards. I told his mom if only the tank regiments took videos of the guys grinning as they loudly charge across the field in their Challenger 2’s I would be watching for the older brother too lol.

Thank you John for filming this for us. It is absolutely awesome. I love your channel so much, watch it everyday. I am from the US and we never see this kind of thing. Just amazing. I love Britain. Best wishes for much success John, you work hard and deserve it.

I must say, these horses are the MAGNIFICENT DOZEN. I‘m so exited that two of my favorites, ORMONDE & MONTY were among them. 🥰💐

[@duanagayle]

i know i'm old (65), but since i started watching your videos, John, I am just so amazed at how young all the troopers look to me. like children! yet, so poised and mature in their behavior. of course, at my age, anyone under 40ish is a young person!! lol

No if they are in their same positions it’s Lancelot as in not Q10 it’s Lancelot. Edit I wasn’t looking back row lol. ❤️

Yes, Ormonde is on the very left in the back row. He stands diagonally to the others for most of the inspection proving, once again, he's unique and not the same as other horses ☺

[@Elaine-uc6hd]

As an American who watches your channel to see these Magnificent Officers and their Splendid horses, this was an exceptional treat to behind the scenes of how much work and pride these Officers take in themselves and their horses 🌟. I'm often Awestruck and Amazed at how much practice and precision they BOTH put into their work AND ceremonies. The horse you call drum(draft horses), we have in the US and they're Clydesdales which are mainly associated with Budweiser 😊. I, as you am partial to Monty, he's been absolutely great today, the left 6 were a little restless, the right 6 were just ok, we're going to be good so we can go back in, 🙂. Would have loved to seen Q10 in the lineup. Be sure to check out the Clydesdales, and awaiting the winner 🏆. MUCH RESPECT FOR BOTH THE GUARDS 💂 AND HORSES 🐎..,❤️🤍💙.

[@susanwhetton1594]

Just spotted Ormonde, Blues and Royals horse, first horse on the left. l would recognize that flash at any given time.❤

[@debbee0867]

What a great video, and a special well done to my favourite horse Monty and Trooper Jeffery for winning. Well deserved, Monty looked very majestic and so well behaved. He was the very first horse I watched at Horse Guards so I have a soft spot for him.

[@montemiller3447]

[@ronniemensch2400]

Obviously this was 7mths ago. But I have been scrolling through your videos to watch those that catch my interest. This was amazing that you were asked to join the official press to witness this event. Congratulations. It was amazing to see the behind the scenes of preparation these troops put in. I remember when I was a youngster and my eldest brother was a REME and watching him prepare his military gear meticulously, he spent hours on shining his boots alone. I am 72, so it was back in the early 1960s. Thank you, John for bringing us along with you. Do you know who won the Trophy? Ronnie in Saskatchewan

[@lesleycooke6226]

John the last Field Marshal (now an honorary rank) was Lord Inge 1997. My old Boss General Sir Martin Farndale 1st Regt Royal Horse Artillery was Chief of the General Staff before his death in 2000. Fantastic man and a great soldier. He was a Lt Col when we were stationed in Colchester then Detmold, Germany.

Just fascinating to watch and learn along with you John,. Interesting to hear who everyone is.

Part 2 equally wonderful and thank you for your hard work.

Hi john, as a child, I started to ride horses. The 27:05 1st horse ever I was to learn to ride I was put on was a grey gelding at 21hands high, I thought I was at the top of the world, the next week I was put on a chestnut mare called Josephine, one of the most stubborn horses I had ever rode, she had a mine of her own & went her own way no matter who rode her, it was so funny looking back at it now 😂

[@DiHorwood]

I'm pretty sure that's Ormonde at the back being led ar. He has 3 white socks and the fist shape on his face

[@catherinetaylor2333]

he was right at the left hand side when the horses were lined up in a row - even took his signature nip at the guy trying to fix his chain! no fear or favour from our hero

[@jeannetteyin2531]

If I'm not mistaken, the horse that didn't want to settle was Ormonde, based on foot markings and head markings. Horse #12 - Ormonde, #5 - could be Venus because I caught a glimpse of her forehead mark under the forelock. #4 - Monty, #9 could be Tyranny and #1 - Lancelot (identified). Couldn't really see the markings on the other horses.

The 1927 Irving Berlin song "Putin On The Ritz" is very apt for this kind of video as it's about dressing up in one's finest and strutting around to let everyone see how good you look, among other things. I doubt this was chosen randomly.
