The stunning black horses of the King’s Guard stationed outside St. James Palace have made headlines lately for biting, shall we say, ignorant tourists who cannot seem to read the posted warning signs. Some of these videos have gone viral.
But recently one guard did a very sweet thing that has gone a long way to prove just how amazing these horses and their riders are.
In a video posted to YouTube (see below), a young woman in a wheelchair is brought near the horse and guard for a photo op. A man who is pushing the wheelchair is careful and respectfully doesn’t get too close. No doubt he read the sign that clearly states “Beware, horses may kick or bite.” (and really, how hard is that to figure out?)
