And also this may apply:

"On their arrival, as they were not mounted on horses, the event commander takes horses from the military tribunes and Centurions, nay, even from the Roman knights and veterans, and distributes them among the Cavalry reenactors."

What is your quote from John?

uh - I was illustrating your being correct about the unlikeliness of there ever being enough horses for Centurions (should that be historically correct) by a Julius Caesar style paraphrase as might be given in a report about a reenactment event .
