In this episode, Regina gets to know Jean Abernethy. Jean is the creator of the world’s most popular equine cartoon horse, Fergus (Equus-hilarious). As shared in the Western Horseman (February 2016), “For more than 20 years, the blaze-faced bay has made audiences laugh at his equine perspective on everything from horse flies to flying lead changes. Everybody sees their own horses’ antics in him.” Regina and Jean talk about Fergus, but they also talk about Jean—her start as an artist, the various interests she’s pursued, and the future of her beloved Fergus. One thing is certain: with her shelves filled with awards and accolades, Jean and her Fergus will continue to be recognized and enjoyed worldwide! Thank you, Jean, for bringing relatable humor to the lives of equestrians everywhere!
