THE OFFICIAL HEARTLAND BLOG

I cannot wait this season just keeps getting better and better and It shows no sign of stopping that tradition!! :) I am sure that in the end with all of the support amy has from her family(including ty) she will fight the odds once again and show everyone what amy fleming is made of!!

oops I pressed post before I was finished typing! anyway I am so happy that some of the crew like Tom Eirikson gets to be in the episode so we can see some of the awesome people that make the show so awesome!!! Heartlands stunt cordinator does an awesome job!! I hope he is one of our crew Q&A's because if he is I can think of a really good question(I think it is anyway lol) to ask him. I am so sad to see the season end but knowing that there is filming starting soon for a fourth season and a MOVIE coming our way I think I will get through the summer!! Blog whisperer I have a few questions for you where should I ask them? Wow they sure filmed the movie fast!!! That proves you need talented actors to get the job done on time!! No wonder amber said on her Q&A that she goes home tired every night!! I cannot even Imagine the work that goes into this show!!! You guys must be on a pretty strict schedual to get it done that fast!! Sunday cant come any sooner so I can post My comments!! Thanks again blog whisperer for making this bog so awesome!!

Darn I forgot to put this in my other post!!! I knew I forgot someting!! This was the competition that victor and amy were talking about in 312!

òmg!! this episode looks really good! i am never dissapointed with the newest episodes of heartland they just seem to get better and better! i am sad but also really excited for the season finale ahah im suer the episode will be amazing but i dont know what im going to do on sunday nights with nothing to watch lol cant wait till sunday1!! :)

OMG!!! I am SO excited!!!! I'm sure Amy will do great.

OH BOY!!!!!!!! I'm sooooo excited!!! (As usual for any new Heartland episode!) It's going to be AWESOME! I can't wait! I love the picture of Ty with Amy. His support to her has always been so sweet. Even all the way back to Season 1, he was always there for her..... So cute! ;) And, it is so cool that she's entering the colt starting competition! I've watched a ton of those in real life.... They are really awesome when done properly. =) Can't wait!

Thanks Blogwhisperer for keeping us updated! I can't wait for the MOVIE! Will is be available on DVD or just on television? Thanks!

cool! in that third pic i swear amy looks just like her mom. probably cos she's wearing the jacket. i hope caleb will be okay. i dont like the sound of that chase dude... he sounds shifty. i wonder if mallory will make up with her friends. i'm still totally confused about jake and mallory though. are her and badger going to stay together and if so, what about jake? i hope amy wins the colt starting thing. she mentions it in another episode right? i think the reckoning? well i have a feeling this episode is going to rock! but then doesn't every episode? :D

I'm so excited for this episode! But just reading that it's the second to last made me very upset! I want it to last but at least Heartland season 2 is coming out soon! And the movie sounds very exciting also! This episode sounds interesting, very well thought out by the writers! Love ya!

OMG the next to last episode!! What shall I do without Heartland!!! :( Ummmm..........

my dad's in this episode as an extra in the stands!! way cool.....

Ooooo... I'm SOOOOOOO EXCITED to see this episode! This is the won that I saw being filmed at the indoor arena were I ride in Cochrane!!! EEEEEEKKK!!!

i can't wait! it looks so good!

i am totally excited for this episode!! but not so pleased about the next to last bit:( i know heartland specializes in horse miracles, but a year round season would be spectacular!!! of course that would be way to difficult for the makers of heartland and the actors/actresses involved, but a girl's got to dream eh?

okay the first thing that caught my eye when looking at this was Amy's clothes!! in picture number four... look familiar??? it jumped off the screen for me! there was an article promoting heartland a while back i think in the herald. that is THE outfit Amber was wearing in those pictures. you obviously can't tell much from the other pictures, but it just gives that little itty bitty touch more!!

i've seen the promo vid for this episode, and i have to say i am very curious to how Amy will compare to the other competitors. i think that the plot line with presumably the least screen time is what i am most interested in this week. that would be Mallory. we haven't heard much about her relationships for a bit, and im starting to become a bit too curious. maybe ill have to do a little internet digging to see what i can find and piece together...

anyways, im looking forward to what blog whisper had promised to be a good episode!!
CGT

PS. Blog Whisperer: hope your not mad, but how would you know if the episode is good of not unless you have already seen it or was there when it was filmed!! im starting to wonder again if you have any other connections to heartland other than being the best blog whisperer ever!! hmmm lots to think about... :)

[Blog Whisperer: I have access to the master tapes of the episodes before they go to air :P]

I have a question for the blog whisperer,

Is ty leaving for college because Graham wants to quit??

i really hope not!

Blog Whisperer can I have your job lol, looking forward to this weeks episode, is it two parts leading into the season finale? Just wondering.

Wow, the penultimate episode already?? Time sure flies by fast! I'm looking forward to seeing how the writers and actors handle this one--whether it will fall into stereotype or transcend expectations.

And hey, shouldn't there be a Blog Whisperer interview sometime soon? Afterall, he plays a key role in the Heartland process! ;)

[Blog Whisperer: perhaps he or she wishes to remain a mysterious shadowy figure... ]

WOOT WOOT!!! Can't wait.....:)

@ blog whisperer: OMG!!! are you serious?? i am so jealous! i want to be you right now!!! wow, i can't even imagine the privilege.
i agree about having a blog whisperer q and a. now i wonder if blog whisper is a he or she... i always thought she (no offense if you're not) but i guess all we have top do is read Shakespeare and imagine him. then look at his picture and we'll remember not to assume ;P

anyways enough of my rambling
c ya round!!CGT

[Blog Whisperer: Okay, here's the truth: I am actually a friendly Labrador Retriever. Who can type. There, now you know my secret.]

Ooooooohhhh I'm sooooooooo excited!!! This was filmed at the Cochrane Ag centre!!!! I can't believe it!!! My own town!!!! Ahhh!!!!!!!

Wow blog whisperer you are verrry talented for a lab!! LOL :P BTW lucky you for getting to watch the episodes over and over and over again before they air!!! Luck duck..... or should I say dog....... ? LOL

friendly labrador retriever who can type? a likely story blog whisperer!

blog whisperer, i've figured out why the heartland blog interviews aren't coming up on youtube. its because i live in england. is there any other way i can watch them from here?

[Blog Whisperer: I should have this fixed next week - they aren't supposed to be restricted.]

lol that sounds absolutely perfect!! :)

My question is when is season fourth coming out? is it coming out this year.

That is so cool Phoebs did you know that they were filming in your town while they were there?

Wow, I cant wait to see this episode! It looks sooooo great! Im interested to see what type of problems mallory is having now and with what friend! Shes my favourite character and i always look forward to her scenes! She lightens up the show and adds a lot to its humour! I also cant wait to see how amy does!

Wow this episode sounds great! Cant wait! I know this is really random but i was just thinking.....id love to see scott back on the show! We really havent seen him in a while, but im sure his time will come eventually if the producers decide to follow the book story line and have them get married and have a little girl! Id love for that to happen!!! :)

Wow, Blog Whisperer. You promised so much and - THIS EPISODE WAS PRETTY AWESOME!
I loved it, I loved everything in it! Amy was amazing... I can't say anything. Here in Germany it's 12.00AM. (I think... Or PM?) I mean... It's in the night :D
I have to go to bed and think about it...

Incredible episode! You could tell form the moment Amy entered the ring bareback that she was different than the others.
But the real dilemma - ASHLEY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR? I'm happy this isn't the season finale yet - if it were, then I'd have to wait until October to find out if Caleb will actually quit rodeo (for now) or bring Ash along to be with her. Hopefully, this will be resolved next Sunday?

What an awesome episode this was!!! So much horse screen time!!!

I know not every episode can have as much horse stuff as this one did, but I think having little webisodes about how Amy solves different horse problems (they could be 2 - 3 minutes long like a lot of other shows have; Republic of Doyle for example) would be a great way to give us horse-obsessed folks a bit more horsey-time while not alienating the people that aren't interested in so much horse.

So sad that there's only 1 episode left.
BTW - the full season 1 DVD that comes out next month, does it have all the extras too?

You know what should happen? Ty should propose to Amy! I love them as a couple there should be an episode mostly about there relationship :)
i love heartland!

First off my congratulations to everyone involved in the making of Heartland....the actors, writers and on down to the ones who clean up after the horses. A wonderful show that keeps even the least 'horsey' folks watching every week...and the best part is that it's Canadian!
I have to ask though....you must have an advisor of some sort for each show on authenticity in regards to the horse side of things?
For instance....most horses are pretty silent....so they only snort or whinny if they are bothered or stressed out. Canned horses noises are distracting....and not real for the most part.
I also was wondering about the lack of helmet use.....I know the Western riders do their best to never wear a helmet...and the English riders almost always wear a helmet. As a rider of both styles myself...I wear a helmet EVERY ride....and have always made ANYONE riding with me wear a helmet as well. It's just a huge safety issue that I think needs to be addressed in your show. Heartland reaches a huge audience, and the impact of conveying the message of keeping your brain intact could be sent through the show. I don't want to stand on a soapbox about this; but I am fortunate that I survived a riding accident when I was a young rider and didn't end up with a brain injury as my parents didn't enforce a helmet rule.
I would love to see Heartland bring the use of helmets into an episode....and take it further by consistantly using helmets as much as possible.
I know, I know, the concept of Western riding with a cowboy hat is expected....but Heartland has an opportunity to show that helmets are cool, and need to be used as often as possible. Horseback riding can a dangerous sport.....I know because I am lucky to have survived my accident.
Anyway....can't wait for the next and final episode next weekend....every episode makes us want to get out of the house and saddle up and go!
Thanks again for such a great Canadian show with great Canadian content!!!

Awesome episode!!!! I knew amy would come out on top!!Plus she got a new truck!! I wonder what is going to happen with that? I knew that chase was a problem as soon as I saw him. I cannot remember who it was but someone here on the blog said that she didnt like the look of him. Well by the looks of next weeks promo she was right!!!!! I remember last years finale it was such a sweet way to end an awesome season. Which I had only started watching heartland episode 203 and I still remember exactly which part it was at when I turned the tv on!! After that episode I was hooked!! Ever since than I have been an avid heartland fan and blog reader!! It makes me kind of sad with the olympics ending in my hometown and all and the season is ending next week. It is a bittersweet thing. Knowing that thet end is only another beginning to what is going to be another AMAZING season PLUS the movie!!! I am so glad that lou's wedding is going to be this season!!! I can't imagine how much fun it was to shoot!!! Know that the season is over everytime a new episode airs I find myself trying to figure out when they were being filmed :P I remember in december on the blog, blog whisperer said "Well, last night on the interior house set the final shot of Season 3 was captured, ending a sometimes grueling, sometimes stressful, frequently hilarious and often exhilarating seven months of filming" now that, that episode is about to air it proves that time does almost literally fly!!!
I hope that ty and amy finish season 3 on a strong note. I wonder what will happen with ashley and caleb.I have always thought they were perfect for each other but ashley brought up a good point, that they spend so much time apart how is she going to fit into his life. In the season finale's promo it looked like lou was getting cold feet. But who knows what is going to happen. With the extremely smart, tricky writers that consantly keep us on the edge of our seats and trying to figure out what is going to happen next!!!!! I know Tom Eirikson was really nice in the epsiode I cant imagine how kind he must be in real life!!! I could write a whole lot more but I dont want anyone to fall asleep reading!! I can't wait for the season finale and good luck to the cast and crew on filming season 4!!!

The blog in december also said this "It seems hard to believe that so much has been accomplished since May 13, when the very first scene of Episode 301 ("Miracle") was shot." Just think this time next year we will be saying the same thing about season 4 except it will be a different name lol and it will be a big giant 4(seasons) that grew from 3 that we will be looking back on. Hopefully then we will be looking toward another season of this awesome show!!

Super episode, rich, dense, heartfelt. But the very, very end. Amy wins a truck for a year? What? How Canadian is that? Gimme a break. Do our Olympic champions have to give their medals back after a year?

This episode was so great, so happy, but so sad at the same time! I mean, Ashley and Caleb? That was so wrong! And Amy and Ty? Yay! The next episode looks likes it gonna be a doozy! I can't wait!

wow, the pictures look awesome!
I can´t believe that there is only one more episode of this season! :,(
Does anyone know when season 4 starts???
Love xxx
Elli ♥

This was a great episode! But I'm sad for Ashley and Caleb, and the fact that next week is the last episode for this season. =( Keep up the great work. The next episode looks so interesting!

By far the most inspirational show I've seen in a while. Thank you heartland!

As to people saying use helmets, i think its good in real life, but it would ruin the concept of the show. It looks effortless and natural when they just hop up on the horse like an expert without the helmet. NO HELMETS PLEASE.

OMG!! I completely agree with kristin, I cannot wait for the finale next sunday, but I don't know how i am going to survive the new few months or weeks or whatever until the new season starts!!! I really hopwe that there is a season 4 and if not, then I bet every one of the avid Heartland followers will be on the pickit line with me!!! LOL But seriously, i hope there is a season 4!!!! I also dont know how i am going to control myself waiting for the christmas movie!!! I bet it will be AMAZING!!!!!! GO HEARTLAND GO I LUV YOU!!!!!!!

that was THE most awesome episode ever!!!! seriously!! i was clapping along with everyone for amy at the end! i really hope amy and ty don't break up again in the season finale cos of that chase dude. what IS he doing at heartland anyway?! but this episode rocked! i feel sorry for mallory and ashley. mallory because of her idiotic friends and ashley because of that thing with caleb. i really don't see why she broke up with him. they were doing fine! as for lou, i hope her and peter don't go all wrong. he is kinda nice even if he is away half the time. it was really sweet of ty to show amy that pic of her mom and everything. i just had to laugh when watching the promo for the next eppy. lou, mallory and amy in the big poofy dresses!! LOL :D but if amy and ty break up again i will personally hit myself against the wall until they get back together. i feel kinda bad for lou. i mean, she put so much work into her wedding and then it all seems to be going wrong. oooh can't wait for the christmas movie!!!! :D

OMG what is with Tim and his attitude? i was so annoyed when he kept bossing Amy around. This was a great episode though. Congrats to the writers and AMY WAS AWESOME!

@kristin Yeah, I did! There were so many tents and trucks parked out side, so my bff went and checked it out and found out that they were filming there! There was an article done by my paper and I'll post it here soon. !!

Such a great episode. I love the strength we see in Amy and Ty's relationship in this episode. As much as others may disagree I do understand why Ashley broke it off with Caleb. Because she knows that although she may want to fit into his world she doesn't, and it would just continue to break her heart. I really hope for the finale they don't break up Amy and Ty again, that would be such a shame! I agree with someone else's comment about Ty proposing but at the same time I can also see that one happening a little later on. My prediction instead is that Caleb proposes to Ashley. And I think Lou's frustration with Peter being away so much has only continued to build. I don't think she'll marry him. I think somewhere next season Scott will actually step up to the plate and the two of them will get married. But who knows those are just my predictions. Can't wait!

P.S.: Blog Whisperer, I'm moving to England in September and was wondering if there is any way for me to watch the shows from over there?

This episode was great!!! Maybe the best one this season :D Cant wait till next week!!!!

omg loved this episode!!!! definately up there as one of my favourites!

i loved the way Amy stood up on her colt for her mum, that was soo moving!! I loved the song they used for it as well! does anyone know where you can find it? or moderator do you know where i could get it?? I love it and cant find it anywhere!! You should totally make Heartland soundtracks, i reckon they would be an awesome hit.

anyway, amazing episode, cant WAIT for the next one it looks sooooo cool!!!

What a wonderful show it was last Sunday! I appreciated the gentle horse training scenes and the way you showed that horse training is a lot about patience, listening, understanding and confidence in your horse’s abilities and your own abilities. We have a lot to learn from our horses. “Bravo und weiter so!”

Amy you can get it off itunes. The song is called unbreakable by tania mocheroff.

Phoebs did you or your friend see anyone?Do you know what scene they might have been filming then!!??? You are so luck to live in alberta!!! I know I am lucky to live somewhere where they have come multiple times and are likely to come again! But to live near where they film anyways!!

I finished the 1st year n don't have to do the other 2 years like I said in my previous message to judge it--it's very good n i like it a lot. So I"ll continue thru the 2nd n 3rd years--I have some catching up to do.

I remember Jessica Steen as Pilot from Capt. Power n I liked that show too a lot but too bad it lasted only a year.

hey blog whisperer, is the announcer on this episode Hugh McLennan ? cause thats what ive heard ?

Okay, this episode is the meaning of entertainment! At the beginning when everyone pushes Amy to enter the contest, didn't we see the exact same thing about her getting back into showjumping? Geez, even when roping Amy has to do everything, she won't even let Ty have a turn! Ha ha, then Ty convinces her to get on the horse "What's the worst that can happen?" he says. Hmmmm.... LOL! I bet that just REALLY raises Amy's confidence! It was obvious he was going to spook because that's what ALWAYS happens in TV shows, most of all Heartland.

Caleb WON'T apologize for the way he treated Ashley? Like dirt? Even when she downright says it, no hints, just says what it is, say you're sorry. Wow...he really IS a jerk! Then she admits her love for him, while he admits her love for her as well, and she tearfully says that even though she loves him, she can't be with him because it will never work as his lifestyle isn't a match to her own, and she leaves heartbroken... LOL! Can we say soap opera? YEESH! Just say something Caleb! Anything... okay not anything but something good!

That Chase guy is a piece of work, I would've hit him a couple different times! He insults Amy mulitple times, she finally got him back saying she was going to kick his @$$, that kept him quiet... What really got me was when he was whipping the horse with the jacket and he was saying what a problem horse he was going to be, lets remember Chase these horses have had minimal human contact and just learned how to be haltered in the past few days, so chill. Plus he hits on practically every girl he comes into contact with, like Ashley and/or Soraya. The kicker was when he took the chainsaw to bombproof the horse O_O. He said "YES!" when Crackerjack knocked Amy over, I was surprised Ty didn't do something. He's come a long way with his temper.

Amy did good for her first time in a trainers competition, she got lucky getting Crackerjack. I love Cracker Jack... the popcorn :D
I don't exactly agree with her choice to stand up on him though, bold move, and VERY risky. He's a VERY green horse and I would have LAUGHED if he had bolted! Hey, it's a TV show, no one gets hurt in real life and it adds more drama!

Mallory... WHY do you do these things? Just to get in the "in" crowd? For your "friends"? I mean seriously, if Jamie makes you do that she isn't a friend at all! So you lie...so they can get into a mall opening in Calgary? Really? Just say no! Why would Rachel get mad at Mallory? She barely knows her! UGH! I could go on, I really hate snobs! Don't listen to Jamie's promises Mallory, remember how her last promise worked out!

The episode was entertaining, most of all when Amy won. When the truck pulled into the ring I got SO jealous, a big red truck with flames... then they ruined my fantasy saying that it was hers for a year. That green monster left as fast as it came, I wonder if we'll be seeing more of that truck in the last episode of Season 3, or better yet Season 4! And wow, it seems like Ty is FOREVER fixing that motorcycle LOL!

Next Episode: No... that Chase guy?! I'd tell him to leave and NEVER come back! Please no overly dramatic season finale, Lou please marry Peter! I like him SO much better than Scott! Oh, and those are NOT pretty bridesmaid dresses, but then again I really hate the color pink :P

Until next Sunday!

TV fan I have to dissagree with you on one point. It wouldn't be a very interesting finale if there wasnt drama!!! But isnt it always funny though no matter what most fans say at the end of the episode most of us are satisfied lol :)

kristin@ Well that's true, Heartland wouldn't be Heartland is there wasn't drama, I said overly dramatic lol. Season 1 left us wondering where Ty went and if he was coming back, Season 2 left us with a "happily ever after" ending. There hasn't been one overly dramatic one yet, so I guess we'll see in 4 days :)

OMG! That was a excellent episode.So very entertaining. I can hardly talk about Heartland these days because I know there is only 1 episode left for this season and it breaks my heart. They should have more. What are we suppose to do when it's not on? This show is the best on TV. We look forward to every Sunday. It brings our family together for 1 hr and that is a hard thing to do today.To all the acotrs and people involved in this show thank you. Have a restful break. Can't wait until the fall for season4. We can't wait until next Sundy to see the season finale. LOVE, LOVE ,LOVE THIS SHOW!

Phoebs Can you post the link for that article? I am really interested in seeing it! :)

@kristin here is the link to the article done on Heartland when they were filming in Cochrane back in December. This episode was filmed there!!
http://www.cochraneeagle.com/2009/12/cbc-drama-heartland-picks-ag-society-for-a-week-of-filming/

@kristin No, sadly we didn't. But we were hoping to try and get a glimpse of them! Yep, they were filming this episode (317!!!). The arena looks so different and so fantastic. I loved what they did! Alberta is a great place to live in, but you really do have to look for the nicer spots to live in.

Another great episode :) Once again I loved the scenes with Tim and Jack, Tim getting a bit too passionate about things. Hopefully he will get his ambition under control in the future especially when others, in this case Amy, are involved.

I can't believe that we have arrived at the final episode of the season. Good Lord! My wife and I will have to suffer withdrawal pangs for weeks. This is one of the best shows on television. We demand longer seasons!

I love watching Canadian shows and of course Heartland is my favourite. Just finished watching the final episode on Sun. Mar. 28, 2010. Have the kleenex box close by, this is one passionate and emotional show. I've been a horse lover all my life (watching shows like Roy Rogers, My Friend Flicka, Fury and yes, I'm going back to black and white TV) and Heartland gives me the same heartfelt feeling like I did long ago. Thank you Heartland for giving us that Canadian passion. Oh and Jack, if you need any help on the ranch now, just give me a call !!!!! haha

Just wanted to write in the comments and tell you that the season final was very STUPID....... you should of stuck with the books and Lou marry Scott he is the best. So get with it for the next season.
