Watching months of this, it fascinates me how the message is totally lost here especially for the little kids. A good example is the little girl who was pushed toward the horse and then had to put her heart sunglasses on and pose for a photo . She has no clue and she was only about 6. Kids are losing the messages of life itself. It’s sad!

This is so hard to watch! So many people crowding the horse and guard, everyone of these tourists are ignorant. For those who are in charge please stop allowing this.

Ive mentioned this on numerous channels before, about using a rope barrier as a deterrent (someone else has also mentioned this in todays post) . This is to protect both the guardsmen and their beautiful horses and also the members of the public !! THESE OFFICERS ARE ON DUTY!! But I doubt they'll change (the tourists) It's not rocket science, these people are allowed to get way too close. It feels like it will only change when something awful happens! And what a shame that it'll be. This should also be used in the courtyard, because for whatever reason, tourists think its OK, just ignore the soldiers and the armed police when they tell them to move out of the way. I've noticed that sometimes the officers barely get turned around before they clammer around the horses again! Would this be managed in a different way by other countries, I think so? The rules would possibly be managed in a more forceful way (this is my opinion only) Take care everyone Hugs and stuff 🤗

I’ve posted this on another video. They do this for the guards in the quad. ‘I think it’s time to paint a ‘DO NOT CROSS’ line on the sidewalk around the guard and horse. Enough of a buffer to keep tourists at a distance. The guard and horse are on duty, it’s not a petting zoo. Hopefully, help prevent this kind of idiocy, but, still allow people to be close enough for a picture. If people can’t understand that then off to the dungeons! 😅’

The “sidewalk” is a well-used public footpath and not MOD property. Right now, tourists are allowed to touch the horses at their own risk as stated in government tourist brochures. Keeping visitors from touching the horses probably requires a change in MOD policy. If you’re a UK taxpayer, contact your MP.

The mounted soldiers at Horse Guards have been a tourist attraction from the moment they filled those sentry boxes over 300 years ago. It’s natural for anyone to stand and look at the sentries in their ceremonial uniforms as well as the beautifully turned out horses. Since the horses are both bred and trained to be a focus of public attention whenever they go out it doesn’t bother them in the least.

These Karens really are getting beyond a joke now! The gentleman actually asked the guard if his little girl could stroke his horse ! That in itself is rare !! At least she was told by people that he had permission ,keep your noses out ,Karens!!!!!!

Why do these strangers insist on touching the horse? How would they like hundreds of weirdos touching them? Ridiculous!😢

Ears back nearly the entire video - the horse is fed up with these suffocating people!

Enough is enough. A feel a petition needs to be done to stop people from touching the horses. Plus it's about time there was some sort of crowd control need to be done there.

Horses have personal spaces too folks.

Wow, I cannot believe how many people are around the horses. It makes me nervous just watching. These young men and women are awesome. So controlled.

Beautiful turn out. Spotless!!

About time this was sorted out it’s disgusting how these soldiers and horses are put through such humiliating conditions as if at a theme park. Beginning to think that is all the Government wants them for props for tourists.

I would like to see an K9 officer and the handler standing there to Let’s see how many that would like to take a picture and pet the K9 officer Those soldiers and horses ARE WORKING. It’s their JOB doing what they do right there. Show some respect!

Take your photos and be on your way up the street you fools. Sorry, but this is just plain ridiculous to just standing around crowding these beautiful horses .

If the horse moves his head out of your reach, leave him alone, it obvious he doesn't want your eternal touching.. Oh it must be driving them mad.

All that giggling and cackling, it must sound like a load of chickens to those poor horses.

I have an idea, everyone behind the bollards all the time and if you want a picture, come up one at a time. I feel smothered when I watch this

New sign: PLEASE TOUCH THE REINS AND BE KICKED AND BITTEN.

It must feel like being at a zoo for these poor horses .How the soldiers keep their patience with the stupidity of these tourists and how close they get to the horse .Ridiculous there should be some control for people to keep their distance , I would hate to be so vulnerable and exposed like our serving soldiers and their horses are....

Wow the chaos…

Too many people.

I think that horse has seen it all before and is having a little snooze

I agree totally that the moronic public should be deterred from touching or even going near the horses and troopers. However, if that happens we would have no need for these videos to entertain us and allow us to vent our anger against said morons!

I'm an older American and can no longer watch these videos. I very much admire the tradition, pageantry, and service of the King's Guards, but the disrespect and stupidity shown by the tourists makes me angry and my blood pressure rise. God bless and protect the guards and horses❤🙏

Stunning horses and guards ❤

Why don’t they put a sign that says that nobody can touch the horses. I do not understand that. Would be much beter for the guard and horses. A BLOODY big sign please.

"Don't touch the horses or the reins"....thank you Sir!

I suppose the horses are used to the crowds and people coming close. The temperament of the horse must be taken into consideration before being put in that position. I've noticed that those that decide they don't want people getting so close sure let them know by stomping and moving their heads around. That makes folks move away. The patience that these horses and their guards display is extraordinary. It's also extraordinary how foolish and outright stupid some people can be, but most treat the horses with great respect.

Yes that horse was very tolerant but made it clear several times it does not like the tip of its nose stroked. Most horses do not like this as it is a very sensitive area and these horses just tolerate due to their good training. I get upset when I see one after the other doing this just copying the person before. This was thankfully a very stable horse. Three pet hates I have watching are stroking bottom of nose, hand up in mouth and of course touching or grabbing reins.

Those people don't know sometimes the horse is asleep when you touch them you wake them up

I am getting claustrophobic just watching all those people surrounding these poor horses. Can't imagine how they feel. I think I would have a tendency to bite and push them too.😢😮

It’s like rubbing a relic.

These “ influencers “ and their flirting with the guard AND the horse are fairly sickening to me. How about you?

People who bring hoards of arguing bratty children and don't watch them drive me mad. Too much chaos near the horse

All I can say is they need to chain off the area in front of the horse boxes so the tourist can't touch them.

It's ridiculous that the guards and horses are surrounded by all these people, it only takes one deranged person to cause a problem.

I can't believe they allow any touching or closeness to guard or horse. It is too irritating

They need to have a barrier where people can see, but not touch the guard or horse.

I really think there should be a barrier that doesn't let these people get so close. it has gotten ridiculous and this team of Royal guards, ie: horses and Guardsmen: are disrespected daily by these idiots.

I guess if a horse accidently steps on a kid's foot they will blame the horse and not themselves.

What a bun fight. It’s a good job these horses are well trained, even so something could spook them like a demonstration going past, can you imagine the carnage.

Once again so many have to get so close and annoy the horse by all touching and stroking the nose, annoys me imagine the poor horse. Karens know everything and nothing said will alter there superiour than thou views. Ty mate for the videos always love to relax to them even if some get my bllod pressure right up. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖💖💖

Why are the horses subject to this treatment? I can’t watch anymore because this will never stop. By.

I still think there should be some kind of marking on the pavement, a line which you cannot cross if you know what I mean, some of those idiots are just to close and to annoying to be Honest, take care.

I have palpitations just watching this..the thought of sitting on a horse amongst that lot!! People get so close to the horses neck and head and some even grab the reins or lift toddlers up..do they think the horse won't move a muscle cos they're stood there. Really 🤔 one sudden sharp turn of the horses head making contact with them and there'll be tears..I think this close contact should be stopped..scenes like this are an accident waiting to happen if a horse spooks suddenly. Feel sorry for guards and horses

They should put some kind of barrier. This is crazy and disrespectful .

Some people very disrespectful. They think its fummy.

I don't know what they get paid but it's not enough .

This is ridiculous and has to stop. its so degrading for the guards. the british people should petition the gov to put a 5 mtr buffer zone around the guards

I have a custom show car. People want to take their picture with it. WHY? I do not mind until they touch. This horse gets distracted even time someone touches him. HE IS ON DUTY just as much as a seeing eye dog. You do not touch them either.
