A visitor has gained widespread attention on the internet when a video showed her getting too close to a King’s Guard horse and suffering a rather serious injury.
For many years, tourists have been enthralled with the King’s Guards, hoping to take pictures with the immaculately attired men and their majestic horses.
A video published over the weekend by Buska in The Park, a TikTok account, immediately gained popularity.
The stunning incident in which a woman was bitten by one of the stately King’s Guard horses was caught on camera.
A sizable group of people are shown in the video congregating around the horse and waiting for their chance to take a picture.
The horse finally lost its temper and bit one of the tourists on the arm, looking plainly upset by the steady stream of admirers who were approaching.
The intimidating horse was shown posing near to a number of tourists in the footage, but when one woman approached too closely, the beast bit her arm severely.
The woman suffered enough damage from the impact to fall to the ground, where she was given emergency medical assistance. She fainted, and shortly after, many armed police officers showed in to see how she was doing.
Online comments to the incident were swift, with many individuals feeling that the tourists ought to have paid attention to the horse’s warnings.
“Four warnings that horse gave!” said one user. “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes,” said someone another.
Many agreed that the woman should have done better than to ignore the obvious symptoms of the horse’s discomfort.
“She is to blame,” one commenter wrote, while another joked, “That’s crazy—the horse tries to bite you and misses, but you go back in again!”
Several remarks highlighted the multiple cautions about the dangers of approaching the horses too closely and showed a lack of sympathy for the tourist.
Someone joked, “There’s a souvenir to take home.” Another commenter said, “It really amazes me that individuals are unable to interpret a horse’s body language or signals that indicate they may bite and should not be touched on the reins.
When will people learn in any case? One response emphasized that the horse’s constant biting was a warning, saying, “It had already been nipping at people as a warning.”
In addition, signs are posted everywhere. Although I’m sorry she was harmed, it was her own fault. “I feel bad for the horses,” remarked someone else who shared her concern for the animals. For them, it’s suddenly a tense setting.
