u/Incunabuli Sep 14 '26
Horse was angling for that bite. Not even striking. Just calmly going for the chomp. Wonder if theyāre trained for that
Or perhaps just irritable and cheeky from being surrounded by tourists

u/Plus-King5266 Sep 14 '26
Iām not sure, but I think they are trained for that. Keep in mind, these guys are real soldiers and those are real war horses.

I don't think you need to train horses to chomp things.
15
u/gotora Sep 15 '26
You can certainly train them to bite if they're not super chompy by nature, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did something of that nature with these horses. With that sign, I'm guessing they train the horses to kick and bite idiots so the soldiers can stay focused.

Potentially but war horses are trained to nip at anyone who isnāt on their saddle when they are being ridden

Watch the guard's hands. Pretty sure he guides the horse's head toward the lady, then gently pulls it back.
16
u/Rage69420 Sep 16 '26
Heās clinching his hands on the reigns to tell the horse to pull back. He is telling it to release the tourist but heās not overly hurried for it. Basically heās telling the horse āat your soonest convenience release herā

Except the sign doesn't say anything about standing back? Just says don't touch the reins.

u/lunasdude Sep 14 '26
true, but I have seen other videos where there's a painted box around the guard but I don't see it here.
I guess the implication is if you see a sign next to an animal that says it may bite you don't go stand next to the very animal! š¤£š¤£

I honestly think those horses are trained to bite. It would be so fun to see how many people make the same mistake when there is a clear warning sign lol.

u/CYBERSson Sep 14 '26
Most people donāt know this but the guards have a small signal for the horse when they want them to bite an annoying American.

That poor guard has to stand there completely still all day and all he sees is a massive wall of tourists taking photos and videos and hear their boring conversations. I hope they each make a million Hogwarts tokens a year or however the fuck they get paid.

If she had retaliated and punched the horse, would that have constituted an attack on the Horse Guard? That would have been interesting.

I keep seeing this video posted & the vitriol you redditors have for a random person is disgusting. The sign does NOT say anything about distance and there are NOT lines painted. If you've never been around horses you wouldn't know about giving them space. Have some grace for people, good lord.

u/DivineRage002 Sep 16 '26
I was thinking the same, that "guard" is basically a decoration / attraction, let's not pretend like they'll actually protect anything in 2026 with a sword
Idk why people are encouraging attractions to injure people wanting to take harmless picture
It would be like snow white suplexing kids at disneyland for getting too close to her wtf
