People used to have to stand outside the outer railings. The public did not used to be allowed inside the railings, near where the horses and guards are. The horses are very scared, and the guards are finding it very difficult to control them.

Unfortunately that can't be done as the horse and soldiers are posted near a main road and public footpath so cannot be cordoned off. Inside the barrack walls however a cordon can be put in place if necessary especially for the changing of the guards while the ceremony is going on.

Well done to the guard for turning the horse around, it now knows that the guard will not backdown and give up. Horses are smarter than people think.

It had a gate and a transparent stream with fish embedded, frogs sitting on the bank and more. In the first minutes of the very first day the place was opened for the first time, I witnessed generally well-behaved kids turn into rampaging monsters as soon as the passed the gate--as it if were a Macdonald's play area. And a couple years later, a woman complained to me as Manager that a librarian had warned her 4 year old about the same kind of behavior. She asked, with grave seriousness, why we made the area look like Outdoors if we didn't want Outdoor Behavior. It is everywhere.

Someday someone will get really hurt by a stressed horse, and only then will they realize they need to provide distance between these magnificent horses and the public.

Well he certainly Didn’t RUN down the street. All he did was go for a little stroll ! 😘😘♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦

This is one prime reason why the tourist the gawkers should not be allowed to be as close to the guards and their horses as this.Barricades need to be installed for the security of everyone and no backpacks allowed

What a crowd! That could be dangerous. The horse had become nervous. The public don't understand what a horse can do it in panic. They laugh like unaware person.

I've noticed that when the horse and guard are within the alcove no comes in to pet the horse. The horse also feels safer and calms down.

There have gotten too many tourists around the front gates and they should NOT be allowed to block the soldiers and ABSOLUTELY not allowed to touch the horses it's absolutely ignorant and rude at this point. These animals need protection.
