That slight nod that says ok, and 30 seconds later I can't see a damn thing anymore...

The horses definitely know who are the good ones and who are the bad ones. I’ve seen them biting with no hesitation when they feel it benefits society

Queens guard horses are trained to bite only the shitbags

Guard understood the assignment, gave the horse the OK to go into sweet mode, made a memory, then both of them went back to work.

A+ to both for being awesome.

That and just the glory of mutual understanding and respect. Both parties here know to not overstep and to engage on each others terms. It’s… honestly very sweet, especially after seeing a lot of clips of people thinking the Kings Guardsmen are actors who are there to be harassed by tourists with reckless abandon.

That thing the horse did with its lips seems silly to me, and idk if that's what it was, but my life is better imagining that was the horsey equivalent of silly faces

Some animals like to imitate so it may have been trying to do what the girl was doing.

Horses just kinda do weird lip shit, especially when they have a bit in

Wonderful. (And if you pause it right at the end there's a little lad dressed in a guard costume waiting his turn.)

Proof if you treat them with respect, it’ll be paid in kind.

That took a deft touch from the guard. Respect.

I wonder what the discipline is called to be so sure of your behavior that you won’t burst into tears while doing it? I can manage a lot of serious tone, but being in a position to effect someone so grandly with something so subtle, I’d be crying in my uniform.

Is there a sub for people trying to hold it together because it’s a good feeling but can’t manage and burst into happy tears?
