There were "official" guys in red shirts walking ahead of the horses insisting that people move back and clear the way. It was ridiculous to see people purposely standing directly in the horses' path to take pictures.

Although I was thrilled to see the Clydesdales up close and personal, I have to agree that there were some badly-behaved, selfish spectators.
