Maple Leaf Forever
Hello, horse fans and mystery fans and horse mystery fans!
An innocent meeting at a local Toronto ice rink led to one of Canada’s biggest child abuse scandals.
Fortunately, the perpetrators were arrested, but others were caught in the blowback including one of Canada’s most notable equestrians, a former Pony Clubber who made it all the way to the Olympics.
The whole sad story is told this week in an episode we’re calling Maple Leaf Forever.

Canada is a lot more accepting of different orientations and gender identities than when I was growing up. But there are still people who believe that having a non-binary sexual orientation is unnatural and a choice. This month, there is an upcoming series on Peacock called “Queer Planet” that examines different kinds of sexual behavior in animals. The trailer includes shots of zebras. That got me to wondering…are there stallions who are attracted in that special way to male horses, and mares who are attracted to female horses?
