Jean Abernethy

Jean Abernethy grew up on a small family farm, where, as a child, she explored her world on horseback. After a college education in equine studies, Abernethy earned her art degree at Ocad University in Toronto. Her comical horse cartoons have graced equine print publications for over forty years, while her passion for horses has led her through work making saddles, and employment as a barn hand, carriage driver, and trail guide. Abernethy has written and illustrated six Fergus books, and her star character has brought laughter to hundreds of thousands of Facebook and Instagram fans around the world.
