THIS is the shocking moment a King's Guard Horse bites down on a terrified woman's ponytail - causing her to fling backwards.
Posing for a photo, the woman got the fright of her life when she stood in front of the horse, ridden by a soldier from the Blues and Royals.
As the picture is being taken, the horse is seen swinging its head in the woman's direction and clamping its teeth on her ponytail - before she's able to wriggle free.
The moment is then played in slow-motion, humorously revealing the woman's shock as she's flung backwards.
In a carbon copy incident, the video then cuts to a young woman, again with her back to the horse, and again the victim of the steed lashing out.
Petrified by the nip, the woman stares at her friends open-mouthed and is seen with her hand on her chest in shock.
