A Gentle Act of Kindness: King's Guard Moves Horse Closer to Special Lady at Horse Guards

[@RoyalRoverTales]

Witness a heartwarming act of kindness as the King's Guard, with incredible thoughtfulness, moves his horse a little closer to a special lady at Horse Guards. ❤ 🇬🇧

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

I see the Guard also doesn’t allow his horse to nibble on the little Children and except for the person in the wheelchair- all the adults were fair game for his horse. Lol. Also- horses are a good judge of character or rather - humans energy. This particular horse wastes no time reacting to someone it doesn’t want near. Other people are just fine and get no nippy reaction. Kinda funny actually 🙂. But I’ve spent a fair amount of time with and riding horses, so there is that. No expert however.. just observant.

[@cathy3613]

Either way it is a show of respect

It is seeing this guard's reaction to the man in the wheelchair that shows how kind he is. Thanks.

[@BobLouden-r9q]

@@GeorgeAlexa just remember that he is a trained assassin, smiling one minute killing the next. That's what the tourists should remember.these guys are trained to kill,and some will have most likely in Afghanistan.

The first horse loves children and the second horse was a concerned and gentle giant

[@demi3115]

Ahh, and the ears perked forward almost immediately. What a sweet horse

[@sandyaw3057]

Animals show more empathy than people do most of the time. My son is autistic and takes riding therapy, the horse he rides every week is so incredibly gentle with my son. It’s so heartwarming to see.

[@djohnson9857]

You could be the richest, most popular, smartest person in the world, working with animals puts your ego right into place! Horses can see right through that surface level stuff and get a read on who you are very quickly. If I see any of the horses at the yard take a shine or a dislike to someone straight away, I trust their judgement over my own!

[@JanetMoores-k4g]

The lovely guard gave a little nudge i think. The horse certainly had empathy 💙❤️

[@sarahmarks7082]

You can always tell which people are afraid of the horses and which are not . . . The horse knows it instinctively!

[@SuicidalH]

The thing is, it's wise to be cautious around horses you don't know

[@djohnson9857]

They're very good at reading body language, they know what kind of mood you're in when you walk onto the yard straight away. They're very inquisitive too, did you see the way the ears went forward and how focused it was on the disabled lady? Beautiful animals :)

@@djohnson9857 In my early years (1940s), I was honored to be friends with a beautiful and giant golden Palomino with a pure white mane and tail! He would come up next to the corral fence so I could climb onto his broad back and walk me around. I always took him apples, which he loved! Every year, he marched in the Rose Parade, with silver trappings and a Latino rider!

[@lizstewart2246]

[@dianapeek6936]

The Guard is in control at all times, if you watch the Guards hands VERY CAREFULLY.

[@qwipperty]

The guard was in control, but the horse knew there was something different about the woman. You can see the horse was inquisitive and soft in its movements there, too.

[@jasminebean5762]

It amazes me how few people engage with the horses, treating them like statues. At the beginning of this video you see a man stroking the horses nose, no doubt he got a wonderful photo, engaging with the horse with it's ears forward, a sign of a happy horse. While the others got a photo of a horse nudging them and grabbing their clothes, with his ears back. Horses are sociable animals who when they are not upset about something like being talked to and stroked, this horse is obviously friendly and wants to engage with people who don't even look at it or say hello.

Horses are among the most intelligent creatures on the planet. It's clear that they are well looked after and well trained. It's interesting to watch other videos showing how the horses respond to tourists who behave carelessly; they absolutely will not suffer fools and will respond accordingly. Yet in an instant, they know to be gentle and move slowly when young children or people with special needs are nearby. Again, these are extremely intelligent animals.
