Who knew there are so many blind people visiting London. Maybe they should make it a requirement to be in the box you have to be willing to tell people not to touch the horse.

I have served in the army, and I have performed sentry duties and was expected to be alert at all times and enforce any rules. I also had the great pleasure of exercising the guards horses, no I was not in HCAV, but a regular, a trained chauffeur, driving the bigwigs around, a perk of the job was that on days off some of us drivers would get to exercise the horses. But back to my point, the guards are on sentry duty, thus they should be alert, aware of the rules and should enforce them - that does not mean they have to shout, but be firm for the sake of the horses.

I am starting to think that the troopers have been told to not to say anything. Even after the police officer told them not to touch some stupid woman went straight up and did just that. I love your videos but this has sent my stress levels right up. I am not surprised you mentioned turning the camera off. Let’s hope things improve very soon.

Be well, John. Glad you're on the mend. Covid making a big comeback here. Sending out good thoughts. Love your running commentary about everything. Informative and funny.

I laughed all through this video, you were in good form even though you didn't feel well. I'm so sick of rude and ignorant tourists annoying the horses and the soldiers and the police. Take care and feel better soon.❤ from Queensland Australia

Hi John Tannys Tomasz here the medication used for restarting the heart is adrenaline. My sister's heart stops so she has to go into the hospital to have it stopped and than restarted. My family is pretty big 5 brothers and 2 sisters. Sadly one brother died 2 years ago and my sister one week ago.

Hey John. What you need to do is the next time someone touches the horse, politely ask them if they could please translate the sign for you, then loudly say, "oh, so we are NOT allowed to touch the horse... thank you."

I love your wit. Always such an enjoyable viewing experience when watching your feeds 😂

After the man who held the reins, there was a lady who asked if she could touch the horse, the Trooper nodded yes. So, if u want to touch make sure it's a lifeguard horse

[@suzannemickelson5481]

What a beautiful horse! Looks pretty big (I’m at 17 mins in).
