Visitors eagerly arrive at the location to snap a photo for their travelogues with the impeccably dressed soldiers and their horses.

Several tourists were captured taking turns and posing next to the imposing horse, triggering the animal to chomp hard on one of the tourists’ arms. As the crowd gathered around her, the woman eventually collapsed to the ground and received medical attention.
The horse showed its not-too-glamorous side and served a hard bite to one of the tourists
A group of armed police officers were seen coming to check up on her after she fainted. Some people online believed the group of tourists should have paid heed to the horse’s warnings. “Four warnings that horse gave!” one said. Another wrote, “Play stupid games win stupid prizes…” “Its her own fault,” said one comment, while another quipped, “So the horse tries to bite you he misses, but then you go back in again that’s crazy!” “There’s a souvenir to take home,” one joked.
It is a common sight to see tourists getting bitten by the horses at the must-see tourist attraction in London
“It honestly blows my mind that people can’t read, a horses, body language or signs that clearly state that they will bite potentially and not to touch the rain [sic]. When are people gonna learn regardless,” another wrote. “It had already been nipping at people as a warning. plus there are signs everywhere. I feel bad she got hurt but it’s her own fault,” said yet another. “I feel bad for the horses,” another said. “It’s become a stressful environment for them now.”
The spot also makes way for some heartwarming moments shared with the majestic four-legged animals
This incident isn’t exactly an isolated case. Despite clear warnings about the risks of horse kicks and bites, some tourists still give in to the temptation of getting as close as possible to the four-legged creatures. Buska in The Park has shared several other videos of people getting bitten by horses after getting too close. Nevertheless, the scene still makes way for some tender moments shared between humans and the horses. Anyone can write on Bored Panda. Start writing! Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
