A visitor has gained widespread attention online after a video showed her getting too close to a King’s Guard horse and suffering a serious injury.

For years, tourists have been fascinated by the King’s Guards, eager to take pictures with the impeccably dressed soldiers and their majestic horses.

A video posted over the weekend by Buska in The Park, a TikTok account, quickly went viral.

The shocking incident, where a woman was bitten by one of the King’s Guard horses, was captured on camera.

The video shows a large crowd gathered around the horse, waiting for their turn to take a picture.

The horse, visibly agitated by the constant stream of admirers, eventually bit one of the tourists on the arm.

The imposing horse was seen posing near several tourists, but when one woman got too close, it bit her arm severely.

The woman was injured enough to fall to the ground, where she received emergency medical attention. She fainted, and soon after, several armed police officers arrived to check on her condition.

Online reactions to the incident were swift, with many people feeling that the tourists should have heeded the horse’s warnings.

“Four warnings that horse gave!” one user commented. “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes,” said another.

Many agreed that the woman should have recognized the obvious signs 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 noted the numerous warnings about the dangers of approaching the horses too closely and showed little sympathy for the tourist.

“There’s a souvenir to take home,” someone joked. Another commenter said, “It really amazes me that people can’t read a horse’s body language or signals that they might bite and shouldn’t be touched on the reins.”

“When will people learn?” one response emphasized the horse’s consistent biting as a warning, saying, “It had already been nipping at people as a warning.”

Additionally, signs are posted everywhere. Although I’m sorry she was hurt, it was her own fault. “I feel bad for the horses,” remarked someone else, expressing concern for the animals. “For them, it’s suddenly a tense environment.”
