This is how I see things. Perfectly gentle well behaved horses come to the Horseguards and within days of being exposed to people’s behavior start nipping, pushing people, and kicking off. My conclusions, it’s the humans’ fault and it’s known as abuse and bullying. They can call it anything they want, but when you watch these people crowd in on all sides so that the animal is trapped and multiple hands are grabbing at it. What do you call it?

This is a perfect description of the situation! The only thing I'd like to add is that I don't understand all the people who become 'gravely offended' at any suggestion that the horses are being mistreated. The truth of the matter is that the tourists are treating the horses terribly and it's being allowed. It doesn't matter how well taken care of the horses are, since they're allowed to be subjected to 'this' at the same time. It's a subject that gets commenters really riled up and I'm sorry about that, but the facts are the facts. Forgot to mention that the constant head bobbing by some of the horses can be a symptom of anxiety and aggravation.

Why do the guards allow people to put their hands on the horses? There needs to be a NO TOUCH policy. WAKE UP GUARDS, PROTECT YOUR HORSES. You can't be too careful, people will take advantage of an opportunity when guard is not alert. DO NOT allow random people to give them something to eat.

I can also imagine that many of these tourists are heavily scented with soaps and perfumes which can be unbearable for the horse along with people offering hands as if to give a treat but there is nothing but empty hands.

i wsh these tourists stop posing I'm sick of it take your picture and go

If they don't do something about all the human handling of the horse now I can see an accident happening where the horse or rider or both are seriously injured & by then it might be too late. I would say that more than half don't spend any money at Horse Guards so why cater to THEIR needs when the horses & guards are more important than a bunch off ignorant tourons.

I am really cross allowing these stupid people to distress the horse , are these guards not allowed to shout at these tourists, the guards need more instructions as how to deal with them, they are too timid. I am really upset, why dont the police keep them at bay.

They should have a sign up, DO NOT TOUCH THE HORSE !

How much control does the guard have over people touching the horse's when you can plainly see the horse is getting stressed

It's like having packs of vultures swarming around the horses and guards. Not on.

The poor horse on the right has had enough of being touched and too many crowding around the guards should be allowed to tell them to back off and move away

Meek female guards who won't use their voice to put the visitors in there place are going to get into trouble one of these days. I have seen female guards just look at the guys who are holding all the reins and say nothing, then same guy comes back and does it again. Where as in the regular guards Blues & Royals etc. the female guards have a voice, a very loud voice. However if you are on Ormonde he has great crowd control.

She needs to shout like he did. Why didn’t she?! Ive told people to ‘back off my horse’ before. I heard one woman saying, We will stay away from that horse as he looks nervous “. Some people have sense at least. I find it hard to comprehend people shoving small children up to an animal they don’t know. Would they do the same with an unknown dog?! Beggars belief🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️☹️

It’s a wonder the horse doesn’t rear up high with people crowding in on him… my word that is ridiculous and inconsiderate … looks like he had had enough… ‼️‼️

I've been watching these videos for just a short time and I'm getting sick of seeing everyone being so disrespectful to the guards and miss treating the horses. What they need to do is put up those crowed barriers so the people can't get to the guards or horses. NOW!!!!

Need something to keep people off limit.

It amazes me how many parents place their kids on the side closest to the horse.

PARENTS! Don't your children under or close the big Military horse. It is naturally a wild animal! The guide tamarind well the horse. But still it is a animal as tiger and lion. The horse has good training then your children! Be careful!

I don't believe that the guard has any say. The directive to tell people to stay away,don't touch has to come from upper up. About all the guard can say is "don't touch the reins" or '"get out of the box." Some one of these days when something serious happens, the higher ups may wake up and do something......hopefully,it happens sooner so no one gets hurt.

You never enclose people around any horse as the did. Their main goal is to protect themselves from predators. Its hard for people to understand this about horses. But, people, are a natural predator to horses. Think of it this way; a horse only survives in the wild if it can identify danger and escape quickly. Every thing is a threat in their eyes. In Their DNA A Horse see fear first, and if they feel treated they will flee!

Its absolutely ridiculous that these people are crowding this horse and you could clearly see just how agitated this horse was and they continued to just stand there for pics and still trying to pet this horse? How can a human being be this oblivious? I really wish the female guard would've shouted for everyone to get back and not crowd! I feel so bad for these horses, they shouldn't have to be so stressed out like that. 😞

The horse is distressed from too many people touching it and why the guard doesn't do anything to protect her horse at least tell those tourists to step back and give the horse some space. The horse tried to protect his eyes because a lot of hands were over his face.

Horses are quite use to crowds of people, They go through training to cope with all sorts of crowds, bangs flags etc and most things thst can annoy them. They do get spooked by unusual things that could be quite unexpected..even an empty plastic bag flying about, or high winds suddenly blow. Any thing a bit different. But they cope with it. They are only on duty FOR DONE HOUR PER DAY, 2 or 3 times a week for one week, then a military regiment change over. They are cared for far far better than a lap dog, have a good life. Seaside holidays too..

Why don’t people understand when the horse is telling them enough!?

Watching the hordes flap their hands all over the poor horse as many as 7 or 8 at a time has me fuming! Why is the lady guard sitting there mute while her horse is being stressed so badly? Better training should empathize the guard is responsible for these beautiful animals. Not the other way around! Ormonde! Hold classes!

Teenagers!! Explains lots.

No one should ever be able to touch the horses, it not a petting zoo.

Very nice, friendly guard. 🤗😇

The kids in the very beginning set the poor horse off getting all up in his face from all sides! That lady in the light blue jacket made it worse! The poor horse was stompy and she just stood there! When she finally walked away she looked put out like she got ripped off or something! And everybody just crowded back around before the horse really settled! Unreal, no consideration for the horse at all. Not cool at all!😿🐴❤️

What these tourists are doing amounts to animal abuse! Leave the horse(s) alone.

Need to add no touching the horse or standing too close. Perhaps need to mark the pavement where people are allowed to stand. They don't seem to understand that their behavior is irritating the horses. The smaller horses are .ore vulnerable to being harassed by the public.
