I don't think I'd get close enough to the horse to find out. The British guards are amusing though - I'm not surprised they would have a sign like that.
People can be a bit crazy and try to pat or feed animals that they do not know about. I always tell people at petting zoos that Monkey's bite, but no one listens!
I guess they feel bad for the guard having to stand so long So they make the horse stand What a dedicated and trained horse this must be. I'd be in a foul mood too to stand all day like this. Horses get bored and need to chew to be happy.Otherwise they kick and chew the wooden doors and gates and bite people.lol So the sign is warranted.
Now, that's a sign of the times! Health & Safety gone mad LOL. Last time I was there, there were no such daft notices! "Real soldier" of course he is, probably back home for a few weeks before going out on deployment. The Horse Guards have a long, proud history.
Love the pictures of the guards!!! I saw those of Oslo! but I hope to see very soon the english ones! Nous sommes de retour et Mélissa aussi! Elle s'est régalé à Londres et nous aussi. On a fait la connaissance de gens vraiment sympa et notamment des portugais!!!
So said Mr. Ed LOL. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Gattina. Those British guards have such deadpan expressions! Now the public is warned that the horses may retaliate. LOL! Good capture.
