A few years ago I was there and there was a party of tourists including a guy wearing tan trousers. He kept standing very close to the horse and the guard had told him not to stand there. There was a sudden hissing noise followed by a splashing noise and a loud shout from the tourist. The horse was having a piss and it was splashing over the guy's trousers. I swear both the trooper and the horse had smiles on their faces.

However, I have sense enough to know that animals react to smells, and vibes they pick up from people. What most bleeding heart people who love to call it animal abuse are not as concerned about the animals themselves but their agenda to have a platform in which they can try to force everyone to think it is abuse. If the KG felt like there was abuse going on they would not subject them to it.

This beautiful horse didn't like the tourist with the pink top at 17:17. The horse turned away from her. She then pulled on the bridle. Maybe enough of a pull to tweek the bit in his mouth? It was obvious his mouth was hurting - shaking his head, throwing his head up and down and sideways.Tourist stood there trying to touch horse again, yet oblivious to what she had caused. Guard aware that bit was not right, too. The horse managed to get the bit in the right place because he calmed down. Happy to see Trooper arrive to adjust the bit. I would have liked to jump in the video and give a good yank on her hair so she could feel what it was like for the horse. I, too, would like to see all tourists behind the bollards taking pictures of the Kings Life Guards and their mounts not posing for pictures of themselves, and not touching the horses. Thank you to the Life Guards (and their mounts) and Troopers for your service to your King and Country.

The stupidity of the human race on holiday astounds me at times. Did they leave their common sense at home or didn’t they have any to start with. Horses are flight animals. Staring at any animal is perceived as a threat. Crowding one while screeching and giggling like morons could spook a horse. Admittedly the Household Cavalry Blacks are trained to cope with noise but so many people crowding round and so many hands pawing at their faces can spook even the most well trained horse. Maybe if a few tourists were trampled by a huge 17hh iron shod horse weighing around 680kg they might get the message. Even when they are told to get back they assume that instruction is for everyone else, not them. I suspect there are also those who deliberately grab the reins to see what sort of reaction that provokes which is added confusion for the horse. Animal abuse is unacceptable - whether the abuser is on holiday or not. Would their holiday snaps be less appealing to look back on if they don’t have their hands pawing at the horse. You have to wonder why armed police are on duty if all they do is stand chatting to each other and not even attempting to control the crowds. Who knows what people have in their hands when they shove them up to the horse’s mouth. It’s many years since I was in London but I can’t recall people being allowed to touch the horses as they do now. Tourism may be good for the economy but animal abuse and disrespecting the King’s guards is completely unacceptable.

These tourists do not follow rules do not listen and you could not do this in their country(if they were lucky to have anything like this) Total disrespect for the horse, the Guard and it is just taking the mickey something needs to be done to protect the Guard and the horse. It is not a petting zoo-I was told by a tourist when in London you have to have your photo taken with the Kings guard ,really what about following the rules and showing some respect.Those in charge please do something.

I think he walked away at that moment. I think he is so disgusted with uncaring tourist that he just might feel he's ready to break. To show them that enough is enough. I applaud him and his control. I hope God really gives him the comfort he needs and deserves.

There are warnings about the horses proclivity to kick and bite, added later was no touching of the reins, no touching of the horses will/should be next and perhaps even a perimeter line around the front of the alcove
