Two women had a rude awakening when they stood too close to a King’s Guard horse outside of the Household Cavalry Museum in London.
In separate incidents, the animal grabbed a tourist’s ponytail and headbutted another who came too close, as seen in a video obtained by ARK Media.
The first tourist was posing for a photo next to the horse when it bit the back of her ponytail so strongly that it dragged her from where she was standing, leaving her flailing.
Ironically, the woman was standing next to a sign that read, “Beware horses may kick or bite!”
And that it did.
In the second half of the clip, another tourist tried to take more snaps alongside the horse, but it headbutted her on the side of her arm, leaving her shocked.
Of course, the guard that was mounted atop the horse didn’t even crack a smile, as they’re supposed to stay stone-faced whenever on the job.
The Household Cavalry Museum, located on the Horse Guards Parade ground, shows the history and work that goes into the “ceremonial and armored reconnaissance role of HM The Queen’s Mounted Bodyguard,” according to its website.
But this is not the first time a tourist has had an incident with the British royal guards in recent months.
