That was so beautiful! The horse seemed to appreciate her touch too. She didn't grab anything, she simply petted the horse. Nice. Awe that melted my heart! Good job Horseman Guard. For its guarding the dreams and future of peoples hearts that is the highest calling.

[@mariaharrison7228]

It's like he knew, he was so careful when she was stroking him, God bless animals. ❤

[@justinthyme4154]

His rank is trooper, of the Household Cavalry, the Blues and Royals.

[@JaneWakeley-eg2od]

Actually he's a Life Guard. Blues & Royal s wear blue tunics and Red plumes on their helmets, whereas Life Guards as illustrated in this video wear Red Tunics and Cream coloured plumes. They are both members of the Household Cavalry. My Late Father was in the Blues & Royals.

I get the same feeling when I see these sort of videos. Like saying I've got something in my eye as well, I love the peeling onions though. A lovely comment which warms the heart 💘

[@DrCrabfingers]

To be honest...the respect was mutual, the lady asked the guard if she could pat the horse, the guard agreed...the lady showed a respect that many other don't.

[@duallydriver2]

That horse can sense good or bad intentions!!

[@gillcawthorn7572]

And she didn`t stay too long,l etting others to take a turn

[@mikoto7693]

That was oddly endearing to see. Finally someone showing some common sense and respect. She did as I would-politely ask permission to pat or stroke the horse first.

[@Roddy556]

She was very respectful in everything she did.

[@raven3212]

The horse stayed so still while the lady stroked him, almost as if it knew... Guard was a total gent too..

Total respect to that lady. She asked if it was Ok, not like the ignorant one's you see on here. Respect to that soldier, too. His parents must be so proud.

[@jgrazzi]

Note the change in the horses behavior. The horse knew not just the King’s guard. Animals are far more perceptive than we are.

[@mbrackeva]

I don't think they are more perceptive than we are. But they are probably more perceptive than most people think.

[@johnkongsaisy7014]

​@@mbrackevaI think they are, animals sense of smell is the way most communicate. They detect the slightest changes in hormones and chemicals us humans cannot comprehend. Also, animals are not always bound by nature. They can be rather altruistic and kind when not threatened. However humans are the only animal that conscientiously decides to harm others despite knowing better

[@mikmerl1]

I did a lot of horse riding in my youth in South Africa we had some calls from homes with handicapped people to come and visit the horses I was always with a tear in my eyes when I saw what tenderness there was between those people and the horses they have an incredible understanding this was one such moment

[@lottiestanley7696]

The horse also seemed to understand she needed special attention 😊 Both the guard and the horse did well ❤

[@FlakMagnet]

I thought so too. I can't tell if the guardsman twitched the reins to to have the horse turn towards the woman or in response to the horse turning towards her... Either way all three of them were respectful and it made for a very sweet moment.

[@lottiestanley7696]

@@FlakMagnet I think the guard wanted to be sure the horse saw her and gave her some attention 😉😊

[@elib7311]

Observe how even the horse knew this was a moment to remain as calm as possible. No tossing of the head, just gentleness. ❤❤

[@Mybpeterson]

Both the horse and rider are responsible for that. The guard gently pulled the horse back a few inches as a signal, the horse's intuition did the rest.

[@ead9726]

Yes, I noticed also how calm the beautiful horse was and to sense when to be gentle.

Horses are like dolphins. They sense when someone needs gentle interaction. My daughter (disabled) went to Horse Riding for the Disabled. And, those ponies were all, so tuned in. Gentle, funny (with more lively Service Users), or extremely docile to instil no fear of them. This was a lovely two-way interaction and respect.

[@gilliantempleton3253]

my daughter is also disabled and does RDA as well, she has one horse that she always rides. She is nonverbal but she can yell out Aspa (Jasper) who comes galloping up to her and greets her and waits patiently for her and then walks so quietly and carefully with her on him. I swear he thinks shes made out of china. He loves her and she loves him. HORSES like DOGS and CATS know - i dont know how they know but they sense it and adjust their behaviour and attitude accordingly.
