At around the 2:25 mark, a man places a stroller near the edge of the road and the trooper speaks to him saying sir, these are pretty young horses…she seems to be indicating that he might want to move the stroller back. It’s hard to hear everything she says but she also says thanks, just so you are aware. It makes sense that the horses require a lot of on the job training in order to learn to deal with all the sights and sounds they will encounter. Thanks for posting, viewing from Bangor, USA.

[@JoMather]

Probably a young horse - exceptionally calm young rider, well done!

[@marge6020b]

The horse is not being “naughty”. Just a young horse in training. It’s always interesting to listen to a person that doesn’t know horses describe this. ( Good job, by the way, you got the most important part - stay away from horses, unless you know the rider and the rider says it’s ok to come close.) All is well, and most people have no idea what it takes to train a young horse.

[@Whistlewalk]

Yes - my thoughts as well. Just a baby learing about the bigger world. Not even an overly large horse and not near anyone he could hurt. Ever watch a parent try to hold a bored child still, or quiet, during some important event? Much the same thing. Beautiful animal - will be fine with time and experience.

Hello from Sacramento California. The horses are beautiful ❤️. thank you.

[@TheKingsGuardsChannel]

Hello 👋 🇺🇸 Yes they’re lovely things! 🐴

[@voraciousreader3341]

Every horse has a different personality, just as humans do, and some are naturally more skittish than others. Some don’t adjust easily to new situations-I’m sure everybody knows people like that-while others are naturally calm and don’t get flustered or upset in new environments. The horses may be in the middle of assessment to see if they’re right for the job or not. Dogs being trained for any human service also have to go through the same personality assessment, and then an ability assessment before being chosen.

[@that_horse_g1rl]

I think it’s a young horse, so that explains it.

[@voraciousreader3341]

I absolutely love the dappled grey! Gorgeous horse! It’s always interesting to find differences between British and American English, and the use of “floor” both inside and out is one. In the US, “floor” is only used for inside a house or other building, and “ground” is used for outside.

[@ginnypeckham4022]

We also usually say "ground" for outside and "floor" if it's inside here in the UK.

Kiwi here again - you have captured some amazing clips. I've always been scared of horses - so tall etc, but these are magnificent animals. Thank you. So glad I 'found' this channel.

[@k9nick]

Why? Age, inexperience, could be his first time out. Maybe he doesn't like the hard ground. The noise. Could be a smell. Maybe he would rather be in a paddock. Perhaps he's only just broken in. All manner of reasons. Maybe he's just pissed off cause he had his feed bag taken off him. All that said, I've noticed he kicks off when the sergeant starts yelling on the parade ground. Don't think he likes the yelling. All manner of reasons

[@rosmeeker1964]

Doesn't want to be the last horse? Perhaps he'd prefer to be up front. I had a horse once that wanted to be in the middle of the pack. Also some bit of tack may be pinching him. So many reasons. I would have tried some reassurance.

[@MargaretHarvey-hi3mx]

I think he’s young, based on his acting, compared to the other horses.

Impatience could be a factor for the horse, they are living beings after all. The rider is calm, patient and very capable of working with a horse like this.

[@user-fl2ri2df6q]

A horse with brown body, black mane and tail is called a BAY not a "brown" horse. The lighter bodied horse with black mane and tail is a bright bay. The horse behaving badly is just resisting. They have no other way of telling us they don't want to do what they are being asked to do.

[@claudettethomas5921]

watching from New zealand . It is 10past 5 pm. Lovely sunny day in dannevirke North Island. Nice work all round thanks

[@feralbluee]

it says this happened three hours ago - about 8:00 a.m. there, right? it would have been 2:45 a.m. here in New York. (it’s now 5:45 a.m. and i’m still awake!!!!!!!!!! ) But, i got to see this vid from London from only three hours ago, which was fun. i would have liked to see what happened with the riled up horse. Why are horses just such beautiful creatures? Thanks so much. and thanks for explaining what was going on. :) 🐎🐎🐎🌷🌱

[@fgraic]

You mentioned their attire, that is hunt attire. What riders wear for fox hunts, horse shows etc. These horses are in excellent condition. What people do not realize is they are working hard. Standing still in one place for extended periods is very much against their natural instincts. Standing still in one place with heavy weight on their back is very difficult and against their natural instincts. Riders and horses very well-trained at a very difficult task. All that head tossing---attempted pain relief. Cured a horse of head tossing my years ago by finding a muscle knot and releasing it. Hard to find But releasing made for a happy horse and happy rider

[@barryjacobs8524]

Sydney Australia at 3 o’clock Monday afternoon. There is always one isn’t there. There are many reasons for this horses behaviour. Different sounds, sore back, irritation in the mouth, even the changing of the guard horses play up like this and they have been doing it for a long time. The other day one was playing up because there was a protest of people shouting in the street yet the other horse just stood there. You can never tell with them for they are a flee animal, like guinea pigs. See size does matter. 😊

[@user-rm4rn1sf4g]

They get excited. They sometimes buck or at least they do out west in the US.

[@user-yd6ef1yo9d]

If a horse is already well-trained to be ridden and has been ridden for some time, if they suddenly revert to bucking off their riders, they could be retired. They might even be sent to the butchers.

[@Poolberi88]

They have off days too especially if not trained completely. They can have upset tummy or aches and pains. Out of the hundreds of horses, several can be unwell or untrainable. That's the only way to find out.

[@carmelrankin9362]

Great rider on that young horse.😂❤

[@AnnaLenaHall]

Thanks for posting the video with the horses. I really enjoyed watching. The rider with the skittish horse did well, staying so calm. It helps the horse. I'm from California, thought right now we are staying with my husbands family in the mountains of Colombia for several month. We ride horses almost every day.

[@wernerhaase2632]

Es wird durch die Übungen des Pferdes besser!!😊

[@Bunny40674]

The horse has probably seen a bug or something that it dosent like but the other horses don’t mind.It can also be the tack,it can rub the horse and the horse will move to alert it’s owner(rider) thanks for amazing videos!

[@Abi-Grey8]

It’s a young horse so he or she is just a little wary around things like people’s belongings and so on. It’s most likely a thoroughbred and just getting into his work.

[@egeegee7146]

It's a personality thing. That horse is a doer and also still taking charge rather than settling into being part of the herd. He's very aware of things around him and is quite reactive. His lash out was caused by the fact he backed into a plastic bollard which surprised him. He's fine but he has lots of work to do in order to become settled or he may be a touch too much for this work and better suited to a faster paced environment. Which ever way he is a stunner.

[@that_horse_g1rl]

I think he’s quite young, maybe it’s his first time out, or one of the first. But yeah, i think he’s young compared to the other horses acting.

[@sylviawarren3341]

Tight reins pulling on the bit causing pain and discomfort could also be a factor.

[@mssaddlebred5019]

Horse is sensitive and experience and exposure to events and triggers like this will give it a chance to develop a higher tolerance level. It is trying to get away, a natural response, but handling it calmly and well like this will teach it to tolerate stimulating situations and to trust its rider to keep it safe.

[@celiakatetoumairangi9200]

Kiwi - watching from New Zealand

[@alil8510]

Some horses simply struggle to stand still for any length of time and he's letting us know all about it! 😮

[@jkashiwamura]

The loud noise in the background can spook the horses and this is probably a horse who is more of a go horse than a woah horse and when there is a go horse it’s a spook horse and this horse seems to be very sensitive. The other horse in front seems to be a bit sensitive but not to the point where it’s bucking and rearing .The two horses with the horse starts to move over and start acting up . Also don’t stand behind the horse without knowing the horses history because they can kick any time they want.Hope this helped😊.

[@Myley.Animals]

5:08 So For horses spooking is a natural response to being startled or afraid of something In the wild spooking helps them flee from danger very quickly Other factors, such as excess energy, pain, or vision issues. And certain objects such as ,noises, a new touch,,movements and Things horses have never seen before may increase a horse's propensity to spook. And at 7:45 “that’s not a happy horse” the horses was scared! Because it’s a new environment with thousands of new things going on :) and as the lady said at 2:27 the horses were young horses in training and they’re actually very well behaved even the horse that was scared .

[@pureholy]

Some horses are just more high strung or easily bored so don’t like waiting, also it could just be that horse and rider aren’t well matched, some riders - for no reason - get horse more on their toes (called having an electric bum) I am one of them so I always rode quite horses those on the lazy side as they would go for me, if I rode high strung horses it got quite lively. By the way a tan horse with black mane and tail is a bay.

[@AL-lz1hb]

Ha! Not heard the term Electric bottom for a while. It is a thing, isn't it? Kinda why when you train horses you need to introduce the young horse to various riders. A horse that behaves like a softy for one rider, might hightail it off with a more high energy rider. So interesting watching your kick along cutie suddenly move it up a gear or three. And then when they turn into a buckeroo, you think; Yeah, don't think I need to learn that superpower! Fun times.

[@TheKingsGuardsChannel]

I appreciate that comment very much! Thank you! 🇺🇸👏

[@RDJB.-rn6qi]

By just looking at the ears, the horse isn’t in an aggressive state. And the reasons I have come up with for this horse acting out is: the bit is uncomfortable, the tack is pinching the skin, the rider is in an uncomfortable position, he’s lame (injured in a place that could or could not be noticeable), simply the people walking around, the man yelling (orders maybe?), or simply that is just a skittish (nervous and cautious by nature).

[@kateking3953]

Young horse probably, unnerved by the shouting from the barracks. It's instinct would be to run, so it's hard for it to be made to stand. Hence the battle for its head so it can get away. Good control by the rider.
