King’s Guard horse bites woman’s hair as she poses for photo

A King’s Guard horse has been filmed biting a woman’s hair – but viewers are all saying the same thing.

Video footage has shown the moment a King’s Guard horse bit two women’s hair in separate incidents – but viewers online have blamed the tourists involved, for one obvious reason.

While posing for a photo outside the Household Cavalry Museum at the Horse Guards Parade near Buckingham Palace, London, a woman got the fright of her life when the horse behind her grabbed her ponytail in its mouth, The Sun reports.

She was pulled backwards by the force before the horse let go and she was able to scramble away.

Then in a carbon copy incident, the video cuts to a young woman, again with her back to the same horse, and again the victim of the animal lashing out.

The woman stares at her friends open-mouthed and is seen with her hand on her chest in shock.

But viewers were quick to point out the huge sign behind both women – which they appeared oblivious to. It read: “BEWARE – Horses may kick or bite! Thank you.”

“Obviously people don’t bother reading the signs … horses may kick or bite,” one commenter wrote.

“Even the horses are getting fed up with the closeness of the tourists,” another said.

“Yes, horses may kick or bite,” wrote a third.

It comes after a tourist was scolded by a King’s Guard after she repeatedly slapped the animal’s nose as it tried to nuzzle her.
