We met John at the Shakespeare and Friends Ren. Faire in 2008, where he wore his family's full Scottish attire. He was very interested in the jousting, and after talking with him and seeing his willingness to want to help and learn, he was invited to squire. He wound up WORKING most all day, he was a real asset and much appreciated. It turned out he is an avid Civil War re-enactor, and rides in cavalry battles. No wonder he was so good around the horses.
