It has been filmed before..it is safer easier in the back loading and unloading horses than the busy Whitehall street vehicle traffic in front right side of horse guards. It is a more sensible switch. Quick with no traffic only some tourists guided away from the horse box truck. It is a sight to see. Those horses are beautiful. The troopers are very well trained to handle them.

Well, I've never seen that before. A.soldier actually running, and a horse change out. Honestly, you capture a lot of interesting and somewhat unusual events. Thank you for posting from the US.👋😊

The best thing is when the soldiers take them to the beach at Holkam for the day. Check it out .

It's called a horse box.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

Thank you lovely to see the horses and the troopers 🥰🥰

We see another element in the lives of the guards + their horses, thank you!😁🐎💕

Interesting to see the Oakley horsebox rear end suspension lower to make the ramp less steep. Just another little thing to help the guards' beautiful horses. I hardly think the horse was off to the dentist or farrier, with the officer going with him. I think it was a parade leaving from another location.

It has horses written on the truck. They also have horse ambulances, which always brings a smile to my face.

Thank you!

Loved the video😊😊😊

It's good to see what goes on behind the scenes.

Wow, guess there was a problem, to look after. Thanks for running! John P.

It's an extremely expensive Oakley Horse Box 😀

Here’s a bit of education for you: it’s kind and easy to teach others things they don’t know-gently. It’s unnecessary to scream and be hostile in your remarks. Screaming rarely teaches anything other than anger and hostility.

It sounded like Sir David Attenborough giving a nature commentary, “A very rare, unusual sight of a soldier running………………!!” Strange what people think is newsworthy. 😱

How unusual to see a soldier running !!! FYI the ‘truck’ is called a horse box Really don’t know how you manage to film so many videos with strange goings on

This is a LONG time ago because there are no stands built yet fir he Trooping The Colors. Title says 1 month ago but not true. They’ve had stands with blue seats for months now.

Are the guards etc. assigned to one horse or do they switch horses frequently?

Horsebox in reverse no signal sounded.?

The first horse came from the ministry of silly walks.

He had protective leg wear on as anyone can clearly see.

"Super rare"? It's not a daily occurence, but it's anything but "super rare". The only thing unusual about it is the duty officer / long guard commander leaving in a horse box.

Probably the horse leaving had a dental appointment. Or a date with the regimental farrier for new shoes...

The ‘horse box’ = truck would not want to scare the horses an inside of the vehicle, I presume that is why.

Not ones with horses on it

Soldiers run and drive.is not easy

It’s a horse box not a truck.

I can’t believe idiots take dogs to crowded places, I would never risk my dog having his feet trodden on, and the noise of people shouting and screaming, as if they enjoy it.

The horses looked so similar, I had to keep looking for differences. So i looked at tail, hooves, mane, the rope around the neck - and still wasn’t absolutely sure. Then, after about 6 times looking at both, the last two at .5 motion, I finally found out the definitive difference. So, yes two different horses. Maybe some of you are horse people, but I’m not. (Oh! I forgot about height - to compare the horse to the horse soldier.) Anyway, I’m not telling, in case anyone wants to figure it for themselves. But, watch! I bet some of you see it right away 😺🐎🐎🐴🌷🌱
