John, a quick questin for you. I've just watched a couple of shorts by someone I think is on Tik Tok, London something (no, not you) Both titles refenced 'this is abusive and they were referring to the horses. Then a load of 'experts chimed in on both shots, , especially when the horse (who had been taken into the box possibly because it was anxious) when someone approached ( an elder gent) and the horse had a meltdown. All these so called experts were blaming the boxman for holding the reins too tight, causing him to rear, and accusing the rider of spurring the horse. Also they said the boxman was not experienced enough and the usual about the horse standing there for too long. Any ideas ? calling a horse abusive when it's normally provoked by tourists , just got up my nose so I disliked both and flipped back to sanity (you. Any ideas who it might be? I don't watch Tik tok.

[@helenhallwood3580]

I see the good manners have flown out of the window again John. Pushing and shoving each other just to get the picture of the year..

[@kathellison8084]

There's a lot of so called " experts " like to pontificate on videos , most because no one pays them any attention ! I find a good way to shut them up was to tell them to contact HCav with their " knowledge and experience " 😁. Or just simply ignore them 😊. I prefer to stick to the expertise of those who post on John's videos .

[@LondonCityWalks]

@@mayajrj Best idea = block those pointless TikTok accounts : )

[@helenhallwood3580]

Totally agree Kath. Too many amateurs experts around, let's just listen to people who know what theyre talking about

[@TheGwildandfree777]

That had to be the Stupidest thing to do, placing your wrist inside the mouth of a horse! She's damn lucky that the animal didn't bite down with his teeth! Broken wrist for sure! It's amazing to me the lack of common sense, and the amount of stupidity shown by tourists when they are close to the horses.

[@elainebrooksbank5281]

Admittedly a horse’s bite power cannot compete with a crocodile or a grisly bear - but then no one would be daft enough to willingly stick their arm in their mouths. But a horse’s jaw is attached to a huge masseter muscle - the most powerful muscle in its entire body. This muscle allows the horse to both bite down and grind food. It’s the muscle you see working at the side of the horse’s face when it’s eating. A horse’s average bite power has been measured at around 500psi - over twice that of a pit bull and stronger than that of a a wolf. By contrast we puny humans can only boast a bite power of around 160psi So if Waygood had decided to clamp his mouth shut on her wrist it would have stood little chance of emerging in one piece. Generally speaking a horse is quite willing to respond favourably to attention from humans -unless it feels the need to protect itself. Then it can, and will, turn aggressive through fear more than anything else. The most extreme case I’ve read about is of someone treating a horse abominably. He came out of the conflict without a face - at least not a recognisable one. So confusing the cavalry blacks as some cutesy little exhibits in a petting zoo is not a smart move. Gorgeous and magnificent as they are read the signs - laid back ears, head tossing, tail swishing, pawing the ground. All indications that the horse is saying “back off.” They deserve respect. As for moving the bit higher - placing it around one wrinkle higher in the mouth does give the guard more contact through the reins which gives them a bit more control on the nippers - spoilsports!

[@lesleycooke6226]

[@paulasmith4109]

That woman was out of order putting her arm in the horse's mouth. If she had done that with another horse like you said John she wouldn't have been smiling.

[@TracyMomof2]

Lol I have seen people put their wrists, arms, and hands in horses mouth and the genuinely shocked when they get bit. Not just horses either, they do even do it to cattle. Our neighbor has 2 horses and then one large bull and 7 cows. I've seen people stop and do it to then as well. The cows don't use come unless they know you but the bull will. And yes he loves to be petted but if you stick something in his mouth he's gonna eat it, or try to. And it's never kids. It's the adults.

[@user-kz8mq8co8i]

They are narcissistic entitled people that lack respect for the workplace of the Guards and horses. Nasty tourists.

Did you notice the reflection of the sky and building across the street on the boxman’s boot? The horse on the left. Amazing. Thanks again for my daily dose of horses, soldiers, London, and of course cheeky John.

[@Snookscat]

What the heck…why would you put your wrist in ANY animal’s mouth. Even your own pet dog who you trust and know won’t bite. But still, WHY?! That is one of the most bizarre things I’ve seen.

Too funny! The look on the royal guard's face is priceless. Tourists grabbing the reins.🤣💂🇬🇧

I don’t know John people today have no common sense. I am not perfect in any way shape or form but at least I have my manners and some scruples not to do anything stupid when I’m away from home.😂😂😂

[@kateking3953]

Hi John, any horse has sufficient power in its bite to break a wrist easily, or drag someone about or pull them down. Really there's no accounting for the total stupidity of people who seem to think a huge animal they don't know is a friendly teddy bear.

[@karenfein4774]

I have said previously that I knew a woman who had to have two fingers amputated because her horse bit her hand and fingers crushing the bones so badly they could not be fixed. So go ahead you guests who feel so comfortable putting parts of your body in the horses mouth. But no crying should the worst happen.

[@maryholder3795]

[@madeleinegombert661]

Stay cool John and have a great week. Love your videos.

[@BevWalther]

I think the reason why people come up to touch the horse or do STUPID IDIOTIC things is to prove they are not afraid of the horse. I just wish they would leave the poor horse and Guard alone and allow them to do their job. They are after all MILITARY!! IT IS A MILITARY INSTALATION, THEY ARE REAL SOLDIERS ... THE 2 LEGGED AND THE 4 LEGGED ARE SOLDIERS!!! For God's sake show them THAT RESPECT!! Quit treating them as if they are a carnival or zoo. THEY ARE NOT! I just wonder how many would even consider treating their countries military in this same manner. What would happen if they did? How far would they get in doing so? Would they like other country's tourons to come over and do the same as this to theirs? These types of actions just annoy me to no end. WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST STAND A RESPECTABLE DISTANCE AND HAVE THEIR PHOTO TAKEN AND LEAVE? There is no rule saying to touch the horse in order to have an authentic photo with the Horse Guard.

[@susanterry4698]

In Essence I agree with your “Rant” but this is not Normal Circumstances. Yes they are Military but in a Pageantry Form which our Great Country is Famous for, is the envy of most of the Free World and draws in millions of tourists a year and their money in our coffers. These are not ordinary horses either but chosen for their height, stature, temperament, and trained to the hilt to accept the rigours of the career that is their destiny. Is it right? Is it fair? being an animal lover I must say I find it a tad disturbing to see the horses standing still with a weight on their backs for an hour - it must take a lot of Mental Discipline for the beasts and is little wonder a minority “Kick Off” as John calls it from time to time. It is Pageantry though, a Spectacle now, dating back to King Charles 1 in the year 1661 apparently and I am sure you will agree the world has changed since then and the Tilt Yard no longer needs this mode of protecting as we have now more efficient Modern Security. I myself accept it for what it is and if a crowd gathers too close and Disrespects the Horses then it is up to the Trooper on his mount to Shout and Reprimand. He is in charge.

[@brendabledsoe6694]

I can't believe people just stood there when the huge beautiful Grey came out, and the Trumpeter had to tell them to move.

[@heatherharvey3129]

What a difference between the quieter and more respectful young Brazilian football team and the very loud "rich" Brazilians (?) from the hotel across the road. Surprised that neither the stableman nor the MOD police didn't tell people to move back just before the trumpeter came out on his grey.

John, If the bit is too high in mouth the horse appears to be smiling. There should be 2-3 wrinkles at sides - then it’s in right place.

[@rianorman3526]

[@quidam53]

JOHN, who can we write to about changing many of the expectations for the tourists to follow? There’s no one acting aggressively enough to protect the Guards . most people have no common sense so they need more guidance on proper behavior. It’s so chaotic and unfair to the horses and the Guards.

[@kimrose7666]

wow! I think this officer is rather a dish in his wonderful uniform

[@stewartfooter3580]

Thanks john that coffee went down a treat! 😂

[@DeFloofycat]

The horse all wear double bridles so that means 2 bits in the mouth the higher is the bradoon and has plain round rings, this is a gentle bit and the reins lie looser, the lower mor fancy bit is the curb bit and allows greater control with less pressure by the guard, as it acts with the curb chain noseband and head band to apply the pressure to the horse, so the reins are held a little tighter. Horses like to play with the mouth pieces which causes the froth you see, and often get a tongue over (normally when you see the tongue sticking out the side of the mouth the tongue is over the bit). head tossing can cause the tether chain to work loose (the one that goes round the neck) as it can dislodge the toggle. Horses can sneeze and they are affected by strong scents, like perfume, just like us.

[@bonnieweeks7601]

I've noticed occasionally the horses like the scent of little girls. Sugar and spice and everything nice.

[@MerelyGifted]

@@bonnieweeks7601 I knew a cute spotted school pony who was a civilized beastie only when ridden and handled by prepubescent girls. After they reached that milestone, he became stubborn, mean, and uncooperative, often shockingly so. He bit, kicked, refused to move/speed up, bucked, and/or ran away with them. I watched so many little girls win so many ribbons on him & fall in love with him. He was beautifully behaved, whatever their skill level, and sure seemed to return their affection. Once in their tweens, those broken-hearted girls were suddenly very ill-regarded strangers to him. It wasn't a weight thing - all were still quite petite - he was almost horse-sized & up to much weight. He *twice* threw my mother, an experienced rider who'd jumped her own height, and even expended a lot of energy in failing to make it three times. He unsuccessfully attempted to unseat me almost every time I rode him, but I was too many for him, Epona be praised.

[@BevWalther]

You know John, since the Horse Guards (especially the guard on right) don't shout any more, it would help if you and other YT filming would tell people to get off the reins since they aren't acknowledging the pulls that the guard does to get them off. Just tell them the sign says 'DON'T TOUCH THE REINS!' SO GET OFF!! Quit being RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL! I would love to hear you, Buska or any other YT filming tell them, help the Guard and the Police by keeping the RUDENESS away from the horses. Just a request to stop the rein holders that DON'T seem to be able to read. Yeah and then, there are those that like to lean on the Guard's boot, thinking it is OK to do so. Some people just have no manners intruding on other people's photos 51:44 like this old lady did to the young boy.

John, why are some people call Raden as Arnie? ARNIE is flawless, no socks whereas RADEN have socks on the right hind leg & foreleg. Since you have a proficient knowledge in horses names, could you please kindly clarify? I appreciate it. Also, any news regarding The King‘s Life Guards tall, dark, handsome with distinguished grey eyebrows & the fastest horse in the Household Cavalry, INVADER? He’s one of the 2 horses riding behind Queen Elizabeth‘s coffin, the other JAVELIN, a grey horse. That was the last time I saw him. I feel his absence at Horse Guards…

[@LynnL3588]

Hi. I can somewhat explain the Rarden, Arnie difference. The original Arnie was all black. We don’t know the real name of that horse. John wasn’t reading the hoof numbers back then. Because Rarden is a nipper and a saucy girl someone started to call her Arnie. So a lot of people just started calling her that. John started reading the hoof numbers and found out her real name and that she is a mare. Hoping that helps. 😊

My first thought was, what if someone had something on their skin that is poisonous to horses? I remember visiting horse farms here in Ocala Florida and walking right up to paddocks with million dollar horses in them, Rugged Lark, Secretariat (in Kentucky), Silver Charm. The world today is one where you really can't trust people and their intent.

[@nixxie2390]

Anyone else think there should be those 'warning' signs on BOTH sides of the horse - because anyone on the opposite side cannot see it. Also I think they should have it in pictogram style too for the non-English speakers. Plus there needs to be signs near the arches to stop meandering tourists. This place is crying out for much better signage!

[@Swanoaks]

The Horse has been talking to his mates out the back. Biting the tourists helps the boredom. LOL. Don't you have trash bins around London? We have them all over our tourist spots in NZ.

Thank you John: Kiwi

[@starvingartist2824]

For security reasons no trash cans. Not around the Military areas or the government buildings. Dangerous things could be dropped inside.

[@paulinemegson8519]

Yeah the issue is basically due to the fact that back in the 80s when the “troubles” were still a thing, a favourite trick of the IRA was to hide bombs on timers in rubbish bins or parked vehicles. There were bomb attacks in the area in the period, the worst being the one hidden in a parked veh on the Mall which killed several Blues and Royals troopers, both humans and horses. Hence NO parking along the Mall, and NO rubbish bins in the Whitehall area. Yes it’s inconvenient but the reasoning is deadly serious.

[@christinegordon5372]

Swanoaks,John said in the video that there's no rubbish bins in the area because of the fear of bombs in the trash bins. Good video

I have watched so many videos these last 2 yrs of tourists from all over the world coming to see//take a picture next to the Kings Horse Guard. I have seen many Ignorant People doing stupid things such as putting their hands up to the horses mouth.. It reminds me Honestly of a person putting their hand up to a dog to Sniff it... A lot Of The time the horse ends up taking hand or arm into mouth... People say it's Not a petting zoo And It's NOT But Sadly Too many of people coming to see It is.. I believe MANY That do Have NEVER In Their lives seen Touched a horse before.. they have NO Idea what a Horse can do.. When you put your flat hand up to a horses mouth its Looking For The Food its expecting to get. I Have thought for a Long While They really need to put up a fence in front of the Guard preventing people from even being able to touch the horse.

[@kathellison8084]

A fence is not possible as they are on a public footpath/pavement in Whitehall controlled by Westminster council not MOD . It would also be potentially dangerous for horses and Troopers if the horse had a meltdown .

I realize tourists can be very insensitive and rude when approaching the guards on horses, but at the same time I find the guards attitude when speaking to people a bit rude. I understand they need to be majestic and conduct themselves royally, but they need not yell , push, and shove people. In Hawaii we do have our palace that is 142 years old open to the public, and it is guarded by guards at all times. However, the guards, while being on guard and conduct themselves royally, are actually very respectful to all tourists. If someone is not following protocol, they are reminded of their negative actions, but not yelled at. I guess it takes both sides to show respect for things to work out positively. Come to Hawaii and visit our Iolani Palace - you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the royal treatment you’ll receive as visiting tourist.
