This sprawling family saga takes place where an unfortunate tragedy has glued a family together to pull them through life's thick and thin moments. Follow young Amy Fleming as she slowly discovers she possesses her now-deceased mother's ability to aid injured horses as well as maintaining good relationships with those who are trying to get by one day at a time. The family pursues forgotten dreams and challenges as their strength is tested against personal struggles.

I have been a fan of Heartland since season 1, so when the television series was purchased for our library, I was ecstatic. People watch trailers or previews for this show and think “Oh, that is that show about horses,” but Heartland is so much more than that. Heartland is one of the longest running Canadian TV series and takes places on a ranch in rural Alberta, Canada near the fictional town of Hudson. Although the town may be fictional, the place is very much real and is known as the town of High River. The series focuses on Amy Fleming, the Bartlett/Fleming/Morris families, and their growth throughout almost sixteen seasons and running, fourteen of which we have at the library. The character development throughout the series is incredible. You may start out hating a character and end up loving them and vice versa. The show not only features horses, but also incorporates drama, heartbreak, death, and real family struggles while remaining family friendly and appropriate for all age groups. This is what some people would call a “good, clean show”. The coolest part about this series is that it was actually developed from the book series Heartland by Lauren Brooke. I do indeed consider myself a Heartland super fan, and I try to promote this series to anyone I can! Not only does the show take you on an emotional rollercoaster, but also it makes you feel like you are a part of the Bartlett/Fleming/Morris family!

Heartland, seasons 1-14 are available to checkout on DVD here at KHCPL.
