[Being an equestrian himself, Lord John has volunteered to help with the horses as well. He's been riding since he was a child himself, and beyond that, he does have a son who he had raised to be an expert horseman as well (with the aid of Jamie Fraser in the beginning of at least, though he does his best not to think about that part, when he can).
He's just putting the latest pony he was helping a child ride to stall, when he hears a commotion nearby and he takes pause, in case he might need to step in and help to sort things out. But then... Well, it seems as though this young lady has everything sorted after all.
Doing his best to keep his amusement under control, John says:]
They had very little ground to stand upon, in terms of upholding their actions against such a righteous defender.
