that Fergus the Horse transcends the gap between childlike humor and adult-based wit and depth of story, and his growing legion of fans of all age groups is testament to this.” —GUY MCLEAN Australian Horseman, Bush Poet, and International Entertainer Jean Abernethy grew up on a small family farm, where as a child, she learned to explore her world on horseback. She pursued a college education in Equine Studies, then earned her art degree at Ocad University in Toronto. Her comical horse cartoons have graced equine print publications for over 30 years, while her passion for horses has led her through work with saddle making, and employment as a barn hand, carriage driver, and trail guide. Most notably, her star character, Fergus, has brought laughter to over 300,000 Facebook fans around the world and through his bestselling comic treasury The Essential Fergus the Horse, also published by Trafalgar Square Books (www.fergusthehorse.com).
