THE OFFICIAL HEARTLAND BLOG

I think the best thing you could have done was to keep amy and ty together through all their rough patches. I am so glad that you can guarantee their relationship.

I love this show tons and am super-duper happy about this new season, but what happened to Amy's touch with horses? What happened to the scenes of her treating horses? What happened to so many things? Heartland has a completely new image now, but I think we still need some of the old stuff. BTW I LLLOOOVVVEEE Amy's and Ty's engagement and your BW guarantee over them staying together better last into the next season (which I hope their is)

BW...You are hysterical, and I really appreciate it! Have a great day! :)

Hi BW ! Many thanks for your great Blog Post Thursday. I follow you already a year and love this site. It's always interesting. Thanks for the many pictures here and on facebook. I love Heartland very much, the actor and the production team. And am a great admirer from yours. Hopefully comes a 7. season.

If the show is doing better than season5???,when are we going to hear about a season 7 BW, U know it's going to happen? Just tell us & we will love U forever &forever plus the show to!!!!!

Love the show here in the USA. Just wish our programming network would continue the series every season. So far we have only seen the first two seasons and are looking forward to the start up in March with the 3 season. We make our plans around the airing of the shows. We are true diehard fans of all the characters, but we love, love, love Jacks character!!

Pun intended BW? - Is that "catch my drift" as in that the Good Ship Heartland often finds itself adrift in the Soap Opera Sea, but usually returns to safe harbour even after running aground on Rockies shores, or as in snow drifts, no doubt what the non-studio branch of the Heartland barn finds itself up-to-its-loft-in right now? By the way, let me be among the first to guarantee that CBC will approve a Season 7. They proved last year that common sense prevails at the network, at least regarding this show.

I live just outside the Detroit area, I recieve the CBC- Windsor feed. Heartland is by far the Best family show on TV. I have other favorite show's but Heartland is # 1 in my book.
The writer's are amazing for coming up with the story lines they write. There's not 1 show that ive watched that I have'nt cried and laughed in.
Ty & Amy are amazing, but my fav is Jack.

CBC & Heartland keep up the Great work, it's an amazing awesome show.

hello BW
i am so excited for this sunday show and i hope mallory will okay allso amy and ty will be okay too i will be sad if amy's horse will die and hope ty will stand beside Amy if it dose happends and why is Amy and Ty don't look to happy in the photo

BW there you go again, maritime get my drift, on board lol nice to see the sence of humour. Keep it coming.

After watching last week's episode, Which I loved by the way, I mean how anyone couldn't laugh at a drunk Amy I'll never know. :), but does anyone else feel that Peter is up to no good. I've never warmed to him but I've never hated him either. But after some of the comments Caleb launched at him last week It got me to wondering is and has Peter been playing everyone at Heartlands all along.

I absolutely adore Heartland!!! I don't think I could survive without it! I have to agree with Karen above though. I miss Amy's touch with horses. And I love Amy and Ty's engagement. The show is best when they're together. Love your blog posts BW!

love the new episode by the sound of it so far but ty and amy dont look to happy right now
thats all for now until tomoro

i love this asome show !!!keep it up i love everyone on this show and Happy new year Heart

Hey BW , do you know if there will be an auction this year for a Heartland visit? We've been saving up!!! :-)

HI Heartland I have truly loved your show and would like to join it of facebook can you tell me how to get on your facebook

Quick Question when was the christmas movie supposed to fit in??? Was it between season 3 and 4 or was is somewhere in season 3 because lou had at least her engagement ring on. Was she and peter married or engaged at this point?? And did amy have her promise ring??

They really have to update their website. Because when you look on the 'about heartland', they are talking about the first episode of season 6. I mean, after all, amy and ty are engaged. They should probably update those things.

I can't wait until sunday. I do agree with Karen. I think we all miss amy working with the troubled/abused horses. I really can't wait until amy and tys wedding (even though i have said it way too many times. I am just really excited!!!!!). I hope we do get to see some of the wedding plans is any of these following episodes. Like how we did with lou and her planning her and peters wedding.
I LOVE HEARTLAND!!!

Great stuff BW, however....I wish you weren't so...hmmm whisper-y? A little spoilerette would be nice now and then, I'm loving the anticipation so far!

This episode sounds exciting. A horse show! Lou takes on a horse show. Wonder what's up with Ty? I'll find out soon enough!!! Actually Sunday seems to take forever to come! ;) Isn't Mallory a little young for Jeremy? LOL, anyway hope Mallory or Georgie win the show and beat Olivia! Love Heartland!
It's so great, I've got all of my friends watching now, they love it and so does my family!

BW Thanks so much for all the pictures! Sunday's episode sounds interesting. Cant wait!!!!!!:)

So, after watching the trailer for this new episode, I'm positive that Spartan is the horse that's going to die. :( I'm going to cry soooooooo much when this scene happens. :( I just hope Mallory isn't the cause of his death. (Even though from the preview it looks like she is) :( All I've been thinking about all week is this Sunday's episode. Mainly Spartan's death. (Even though I don't know for sure that he's going to die, I'm just expecting it) :( Anyway, enough with the sad talk. I LOVE Heartland soooooo much and will stick by its side no matter what happens! :)
~Shannon .M.~

Just gonna say one thing. Love how Amy's playing with her ring in the last photo. :)

I love this show, but am a little behind as in the UK.
I have managed to get season 1-4 on netflix, ordered season 5 on DVD from overseas and desperate to get my hands on season 6.
It's a real feel good family show, with no ridiculous vampire story lines! It's even great second....and third time round!
The chemistry between Amber and Graham is unbelievable its hard to believe they are just acting. But a whole hearted thanks goes out to all the cast and crew. The show is brilliantly written, staged and performed. Bring on season 7!

Really enjoyed the life lessons on the last episode, if you are going to vent to a friend be aware of who it is and don't leave your drink unattended. I'm glad Heartland always shows the maturity of relationships, without losing the family morals and values. Keep up the good work!!

BW I wonder if you meant it is 661.0 Km's from Heartland Ranch to the nearest ocean.

i cant wait for this episode! :) i love having new episodes, they're so exciting!

BW,
You said I'd like episode 9 and I loved it beyond loving it so I'm going to trust you when you say those looks aren't Amy and Ty fighting! I love HEARTLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't like Peter and have never really got used to the fact that Lou and Scott aren't married... Peter has always seemed to me like he's up to something. I am really worried he's going to hurt Lou, Georgie, and Katie! But if so I'm sure Jack will do what he did to Tim years before and kick his sorry butt out!

Isn't there an ocean to the West that is closer to the Heartland Ranch than the 6,610 kms you commented about...lol?

Heartland Ranch is 6610 kilometres from the nearest ocean? I live 2 minutes north of the Heartland Ranch set, last I checked it was 1296 kilometres to the Pacific Ocean at Vancouver. Did somebody move Millarville or Vancouver and not tell me?

Speaking of Ashley Stanton, will she ever come back for at least one episode? and is Soraya going to be coming back for Ty and Amy's wedding?

I agree with karen. There is no Amy treating horses anymore!:(
by the way, I loved Ty and amys last scence on Heartland last sunday!

I hope that Lou and Peter will get through this rough patch OK. I also hope that Ty can get Caleb cooled down after what he did to Peter in 611. I love Heartland so much I hope there will be a 7th season. Sounds like an exciting episode and I can't wait!! Thanks for diong such an amazing job BW!! :)

@heather The Christmas Movie was set between Episode 9 and Episode 10 of season 4.
@BW again thanks for all you do for us fans. I do have a question. Do think Heartland will ever sell Heartland items? I don't mean from the actual show I mean like t-shirts, coffee mugs, belt buckles with the Heartland Logo on it. Can you imagine how many you would sell of those items. Take care and be safe.

Where has Lobo been? We've seen a lot of Georgie's dog, but not Amy's.

I LOVE the fact that we get to see Gorgie and Mallory compete in a horse show!!!!!! With a girl like Ashley! My favourite episode was when Amy competed in the horse show with Sparten! I hope Gorgie turns out to be just like Amy :)

I love the picture of Jack

Thanks for the post BW! Loving season 6 too. This could be out of left field but I think it may be Alcatraz from season 5 that dies. He is Black and Amy does have a connection with him???

This episode looks so good!!! so excited, especially after watching the promo!!!!! crazy stuff is going to happen.... ahhhh

thanks so much BW! btw my two favorite days of the week are Sunday and Thursday!!

Gosh i just love this show so much! so glad i found it! AMY AND TY FOREVER AND EVER!!!! soooo cute

I'm a very old person and just want to say my Sunday wouldn't becomplete without watching Heartland. When friends visit from Connnecticut they are envious that they can't get it where they are.

sounds great!!! can't wait!!! thanks for the photos BW!!!! i hope georgie and mallory win :) i have a feeling this'll be the type of episode that leaves me sitting on the edge of my chair, thinking "go go go georgie!!!! go mallory!" possibly even cheering out loud... :)

BW, I live in Colorado & love this heart warming family show. I have been able to find the show on places that won't be named....I have seen up till this Sundays show & looking forward to see it. I wish too that they would bring this to the states & have it current. I have seen up to season 4 on a channel down here hopeful they will bring it back. Love your blog must read more often. I hope that there will be a Season 7 my guess as long as the actors want to continue & the audience is there then why not? Good Luck to them in continuing success. Thank you for keeping us updated on your blog as well.

Excited to see more pictures. This episode looks good. Glad we’re going to see the outcome of Caleb punching Peter. Really hope Lou doesn’t listen to Peter and fire him. Jeremy’s starting to be as bad as Chase. Really hope the horse we lose isn’t Spartan.

Sounds like another great episode! I have finally watched the one from last Sunday beause my week was so busy, and it was definitely one of my favorites from Season 6 so far! I couldn't stop laughing at drunk Amy. Amber Marshall played that part REALLY well, lol. Also, the last scene with Ty and Amy was just so sweet!
HEARTLAND 4EVER!!!!!

I love the show this season. Would love to see more of the old combining with the new though. I like Peter, I just think he's stressed out. He's very different from everyone on Heartland. It's not really "his" place, you know? Wondering what will happen to Lou and Peter though...

What I REALLY would love to see is some old characters that just "disappeared" (Val, Ashley, Soraya) come back even for a show or two. I think it would be amazing to have some old character drama. You know, Ashley being at Ty and Amy's wedding or something (this season or next season) and it's effect on Caleb. I just miss them being around and I'm really sad at how fast they just disappeared. Val the most, we haven't seen her in ages.

Anyways looking forward to the next show. I don't like this new character a lot but I'm thinking it's maybe because he is an antagonist. That's probably the intent in that case :P Hoping it works out, entrusting you all with the rest of the season!

:) LOVING the blog post as usual, BW!

-Allison

Dear BW,

I've really enjoyed season 6 of Heartland! But one thing I really miss (starting in season 5) was how Amy doesn't seem to have any friends anymore. Ashley and Soraya both left. I miss the friendships of the young people from the previous seasons (Ty, Amy, Ashley, Caleb, Soraya, Kit, [not that I miss kit, but you get my point]). I just miss how there isn't a group of young adult friends on the show anymore...something is just missing.

I LOVE heartland. I love all your characters and plots. I especially love amy and ty Other than that - GREAT SHOW!

i am glad amy and ty will stay together but will lou and peter stay together? peter is blowing it, he needs to step up or he might lose lou. i would to see this relationship fail like her mother's did!

Does Alcatraz still live at Heartland? I think he went to Bryce's barn? I agree with the BW that some quite bizarre questions have been posted on this blog and lately I have noticed that attempts at good spelling and grammar appear to be optional for some posters. I am not referring to those whose first language is not English, well done for posting in a foreign language. Overall I think this blog would be more enjoyable if some basic standards were met.

ya I LOVE HEARTLAND

i love heartland best show ever i was so execited about the engadgement... well i still am im so glad ty and amy are staying together for sure :)

Hi I LOVE heartland I am addicted to it. I can't belive that there was a fire. I am glad that they were all ok.

I have to say that I'm really hoping Ty takes care of the Jeremy situation in his usual manner. Slipping alcohol into someone's drink is a seriously disgusting thing to do. I can't believe how it was handled. It should not just be forgotten! Have to say, Chase was never my favorite person and I'm not a huge Tim fan (Chris Potter, yes, but not Tim!) either but Jeremy seems to surpass them both!!! How come no one is ever actually held accountable for their crap behavior? All three of them just keep getting away with this stuff and everyone just lets them!!!

It was strange though that Ty drove Amy home. Jack's truck was at the trailer. And since he didn't realize she'd been drinking until they got to the ranch, I'm assuming it was just an oops like in episode 401 when Ty's truck was seen in front of the barn but it was supposed to be broken down in the states with Grant?

All in all though, this is still the ONE show that I cannot miss every week and am not willing to wait to watch online. The cast and crew continue to do an amazing job!!!! I can't wait to see what happens this week!!!

So BW, I love how u post photo's on FB, and I'm going to make a prediction for everyone, which might just give everything away :)So, of course there's a show jumping competition. The dweeb (and we all know who I'm talking about) is trying to push Malory hard, to hard for Sparten, meaning he has to give Spartan some grain boost. In the mean time Amy and Ty are happy :) Then the competition comes around and it's cancled and Lou host's it at Heartland after Jack just clean up and boom. So at the competition Gorgie gets first. And while Malory is going to go on the dweeb is out making out. And because of the supplements from the dweeb. Spartan falls down and dies. And that is why Amy is upset and giving Malory a false look. And that is my prediction, so I'd love to see how much I predicted comes out. And BW plleeeassee give me more clues. I need them, its like a guessing game :)

what's with all the Peter haters? I like the character of Peter. He brings something different to the show.

Based on the trailer for the new episode on Sunday I know that I am going to cry!

Sitting on a barge watching heartland on utube in USA. Catch it better late than never. I hope we don't sink before heartland gets on a USA network. love Heartland.

Hey,BW , what's up with Lou and Georgie (in the photo from above) it looks like Lou saying "Don't mess things up this time." Which I don't really get.
Anyways now for what I've came here for...Olivia?... who?... little Ashley?... where did she come from is she a kid from the horse show? I'm not getting it.
Well thanks, BW, and I think you should drop your New Years... res... er... Whatever it's called even if you wouldn't tell us who the horse was anyway. I hope it's not Spartan... but horses can recover from a broken leg, right? Like on the movie Dreamer? It was inspired by a true story. Well I still love HL(heartland) for now. Depending...
So happy you mention Newfoundland 'Cause, not only am I perfect, I'm a Noofy too.
Sorry about spelling mistakes.
Love HL!

ya i really think you should bring back the old characters it would be a teiffic story line ashley the most because she would come to the ranch and caleb would be there all confused and stuff.

you should have 1 full episode talking about lou going crazy on amy for not getting the wedding planning done after all thats what i thought she would do in the frist place like come on thats lou all make sure things are perfect like come on she had that with her wedding she flipped out after petter was talking about that job and stuff

just a thought for some stoy lines

Hi,
I think this epsode looks realy good. I have 2 things to say/ask. One I think if you love heartland then look this up it is very well done : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JnIYSw9O7Q : and Two I looked at the episode calender and it said after this episode it will be on and off of old and new episodes. I really hope thats not the case because I can barely wait one week till the next heartland let alone 3. Please dont let this happen it would be very upsting to most heartland fan. Thanks I realy am looking forward to this episode and I hope I can keep seeing new ones for the next few weeks till the finaly.

i am heartland best fan i just can't stop thinking about amy and ty getting married i mean did you see them in season 1 they didn't even like each other but i just can't think right until i watch this episode

Hi BW thanks for the pictures I sort of have feeling that Maggie is bullying Georgie, I hope not

Mallory Merkley

so cant wait for tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Heartland!! I can't wait for the new episode tonight. I've been waiting all day for it!!!

Is there talk of there being a 7th season?????

Not to be rude, or anything, but you say it broadcasts everywhere in Canada, but I don't get CBC anymore and I live in Northern Alberta.

If Spartan dies, I don't think I'll be able to watch the series anymore. I'll be too heartbroken.
I just watched the new episode and can't handle it.

Hey!!! BW please anwser this!!!! What is with all the cliff hangers, episode 1, then episode 9 and now this one!!! Can you please give us the small write up preveiw of the next new episode!!!! Please!!!Please!! PLease!! Why is it between these last 2 cliff hangers, there is a long break!!!! If you can't anwser that, can you tell me why spartan went down? He went over the rail, but i don't see what happened, why he got hurt or whatever. He landed and spun like he was in pain, then he fell, why?? Please, please, please, Please, please, please, Please, please, please, Please, please, please, Please, please, please!!!! Please anwser this!!!

Omg what's happens to sparten!!!!??? :'(

The last moment of this heartland... Where spartan hits the ground, omg i couldn'nt handle it. I had a huge flashback of the death of hickstead... I am just hoping the outcome for spartan is'nt the same.. 😢 a side from that the episode was really great but man those last couple seconds gave me chills.. And amy's face... So sad

Omg...just watched the new episode and I am left speechless yet crying like a baby!:( I have a feeling that Jeremy has something to do with what happened to Spartan..I hope I'm wrong and this is a feeling bc of my dislike for his character but what a show!!! Just wondering how long ill have to wait for the next one..I know its not next weekend..ughhh..this is gonna be a torturous wait;) Thx for the awesome blog and great pics!!!:) I along with my 3 yr one daughter love this show and watch the previous seasons,which we have on DVD,all the time;) GREAT SHOW and a super big fan of Ty and Amy;)

Another good show!!! Hope Amy's horse is going to be okay!!! Can't wait for another new show!!! I think our blog whisper should let us know that her horse is going to be alright!!!!

Oh my goodness this was my favourite episode I've watched in a long time! I loved every single thing about it! I smiled (almost) the whole time. And it had the most intense ending the show has had in a long time.
I've had this question in my head for a long time though...what ever happened to Mallory and Jake?? Last time we saw him it suggested we would see more of him in this season but we haven't. I really want to see them together.
Thanks again for the most amazing show ever

Love your blog - thanks for doing this. A question for you: does CBC include downloads from their website in ratings? I ask because I don't own a TV and its the only way I view the show. Would be nice if I counted as a viewer/fan!

Omg! Just watched the new episode! Soooooooo good! But Omg Sparton! I can't believe it! I hope he doesn't die! Amy would be so devistated! And another note... Ty & Amy are engaged so why aren't they planning a wedding???

I hated the way the jan. 20th show ended, it just is too sad. Why do you leave us hanging, and you will show reruns. I'm getting so I don't want to watch anymore because of this..

NOOOO!!!!!! Why did you do that!!!!! You know it is funny. You said that we will lose a horse and you siad it might not be the first one we think of. But i think the first horse that came into our minds was spartan. I can't believe that episode. When the credits starting rolling, I started to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now we have to wait TWO weeks until we can see what happens. Btw when are you going to put up the decription and the preview??????? And how come we didn't get to see the preview for the episode that will be on next week???????

I love how the cameramen are soooooooooooooooo good at hiding in the shot. Like if it is in front of a mirror, they know exactly how to be out of the shot but still get a really good shot.

WOW!!!! What kind of ending was that?? IT was terrible!!!!!!! Leaving us out on the cliff until FEB!!!! To find out if Sparten is hurt badly or not>>??? BW hopefully your going to give us a hint or two what happen in the next 2 weeks??

I just hate that kind of suspence!!!!!

I am watching this weeks episode now. I would love to see them giving us heartland in straight weeks. We are going to be at a cliff hanger again tonight and then wait 2 more weeks. I really hope there is a next year and that the season is done in a row. Please don't get me wrong I love heartland and have been here all the way I just get frustrated.
Blessings to all of you.

We watch the show every Sunday and we love it. too bad about Spartan and go Georgie!!!

Wow, what an episode. For some reason, I liked the fight between Peter and Lou...Peter deserved everything Lou yelled at him. I am starting to think that Lou would be better off without Peter so maybe they should just save themselves a step and start signing the divorce paperwork right now. I love Amy and Ty, loved the kiss...so sweet! For some reason, I like the thought of Caleb and Lou together, I know it is kinda weird cause they are so far in age, but Caleb is always there for Lou when she needs it most. And plus, Caleb is a lot hotter than Peter LOL! Jeremy is such a jerk, he lied to Mallory and I think he and Cassandra make a perfect couple because they are the most disliked characters on the show. I almost cried when Sparten let out that yelp of pain after he went over that last jump. I am depressed by the thought of Sparten dying, which, unfortunately, he probably will...Heartland is after all a drama. I know this will be hard for Amy because he was all she had left of her mom. But, with this being said, I also know Ty will support her all the way and will always be there for Amy when she needs it most...unlike Peter with Lou.
Anyways, I hope Sparten is okay and hopefully doesn't die.
Amy and TY forever and always!!

In my opinion, Heartland is the best ever show. I can't wait for episode 12 keep going guys. Heartland is the most interesting exciting show right from then very first second of the show. Always have and always will be my favorite TV show.

NOOOOOOO SPARTAN :(

I don`t normally comment on here about the episodes, but seriously!?!? I am going to go crazy over the next week waiting for episode 613. The whole thing with Spartan was exactly like what happened to Hickstead. Left me in tears at the end of this episode. (I`m sure others feel the same). What an emotional episode. I really hope Spartan is ok. Also, Jeremy is such a jerk. I mean Rhys Ward seems like a nice guy in real life but his character is so mean. Poor Mallory, she deserves better.

Well I finished watching the rest of the show. When Spartan went down I started to cry and it took me awhile to stop. I feel that Jeremy is to blame not Mallory. I just feel terrible.
Blessings,
Celtic Thunder

Did anyone else feel like hurling after that last scene from 612?? And we have to wait how long now until the next ep?

Wow! These writers sure know how to keep a person on the edge of their seat!!! I am really hoping Spartan will be fine and that it is a different horse that dies.

Hey BW! I absolutely LOVE Heartland, and super excited for Feb. 10!! I have a fanpage on Instagram with just over 900 followers! I'm the largest fanpage on IG. It is a lot of fun to answer questions, and see what other people are thinking. In some ways, I kinda feel like you! :P nobody knows who I am.. But I answer their questions! I love it! I get new followers daily, it just shows how much the Heartland community is growing! Follow @heartland_fanpage on Instagram! (: Thanks BW for everything you do, you keep me busy while Heartland isn't airing. Haha

I just watched 5.5 seasons of heartland in a week thanks to netflix lol.. Needless to say i am hooked! Im from Alberta ;) sadly have only heard mention of medicine hat once lol we have rodeos here too :P its fun to hear them talk as my dad would have been in some of the ones tim mentioned! Keep em coming!!

i think jeremy did something to spartan
and i hope Mallory tell amy what he saids to herbefor she jump spartan ty will do some thing if he that jeremy did do it to spartan

I can't believe it ended like it did! I really hope Spartan is ok,he can't die, he is the best horse ever!

After Sunday's sad and very disturbing ending when Mallory's horse she was jumping with and they were doing so well in the competition, I was totally angry and upset over Mallory's horse collapsing! I beleive that , that Jeremy was seriously up to this accident and that he's the dirty rat who gave that poor horse(Spartan?) something to either kill him or put injury to him and almost to Mallory! I beleive that Jeremy is responsible for this awful action to happen! I don't like him and I can't trust him for anything not to mention he hurt poor Mallory's feelings as well!

just finished watching the latest episode and I'm shocked! How can you let Spartan have this bad accident? He is the most important thing, apart from Ty, Amy has in her live and you just let him get hurt (maybe even dying?). This is really cruel.
I really like to watch this show, but do you really have to do some twist in the narration (like, letting spartan die) just to keep it interessting? I'm sure there are lots of other things that could happen, that are not so bad.

I really like to watch this show, but especially with this season I'm somehow diappointed. As others also already mentioned, I also miss Amy's touch with horses and seeing working her with horses. Lately it's not so much about horses anymore, but about personal problems. Although I think this also should be considered, especially in a show about horses one shouldn't forget to tell about horses.
The only episode in this season that got, in my opinion, everything right was episode 609. The Engagement was just perfect.

So, keep on the good work and maybe think a bit about the last seasons...

I thought it was a very scary eposide but also a very outgoing interesting one .

I love how Lou and Amy went out of their to help make Gergie happy . What Jermery did to Mallory really put a effort on her , I just hope that Mallory and Spartan are okay .

It's killing me to find out what happends next .

BW,

I remember you wrote the family was to lose one of their horses... I hope it won't be Spartan!! Gosh I felt so bad seeing him in pain after that jump... hope that (most likely) broken leg won't force the family to put him down! And I can't beleive we'll have to wait for 3 weeks before we get to know what's going to happen! OMG this is torture!

There better be good blog posts until then!

I hope Sparten will be okay.

I sure hope Spartan will be okay. I don't want him to die.

It was another great episode but please tell me spartan is going to be okay!!!! i was in a total shock when he hit the ground.
I totally see why amy didn't let anybody els ride him before.
that Olivia kid indeed reminded me of Ashley. speaking of her is she ever coming back?? I miss the drama that came along with her.
again it was a great episode and I can't wait 'till the next.

It spite of what I've said before about every horse eventually having to leave their earthly presence, and that we have to face and accept that, Spartan is too young to die, especially this way. Plase writers, I hope you've healed him. A good friend has to put-down one of her horses today, at age 32. It always hurts, deeply, but I hope Spartan gets as many years. He's such a noble and spirit-leader kind of animal.

Not to worry about Lou and Peter. There isn't a married couple on earth that hasn't had the kind of dust-up Lou and Peter had from time-to-time. It's called people being busy, tired, and feeling neglected and letting little resentments build-up and then letting them out in frustration. There wasn't any name-calling or anything mean said or done. I'm glad to see some reality. Lou and Peter have a lot on their plates to put it mildly, and they will get through this because they are decent and open people, have integrity for themselves individually and as a couple, and above all, are honest with eachother. Of course, I guess the writers could do anything they wanted to with Peter and Lou, and I suppose even get them divorced, but after watching Peter and Lou this long over the years, I don't think Heartland viewers would consider something like that believable. And I can't tell you how "real" it also feels that the writers have finally given Amy and Ty a chance to just love and enjoy each other's company in a settled way without any contrived relationship dramas. Family shows need real and believable relationships to succeed and "feel right," and there are lots of them now on the show.

Nnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooo!!!!!! Poor Spartan and Amy!!! The titles for the next few episodes are 613 'Waiting for tomorrow' and 614 'Lost and gone forever'. The writers say the titles are very meaning full to the story, I hope that Spartan doesn't die :`{...Please, please, please BW give us something... none of us can wait 2weeks, maybe 3, to see if he's ok? Just give us a hint, a clue, anything to let us know if he survives! We're all begging you PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

I am not going to leave a comment about episode 612, instead i will leave a re-inactment. This was me while watching heartland last night...
"Wait...I hear scary music...oh no..
Oh no...
Nooooooo SPARTAN noooooooo
Not spartan!!
Nooooooooo!"
*falls off the couch, on the verge of tears*
"No.
No.
Noooooo..."

What Spartan got hurt? Pleaase Do not let Spartan die. Hes my favorite horse in the show.

The episode was surprising in many ways, especially the ending. Hopefully nothing bad will happen to Spartan.

Wheni watched last nights episode again, i heard the crack of (i am asumming spartans leg or maybe back) His eyes killed me, the lot of panick and pain!!! How do you train the horse for this show so he will do that!!! And Pheniox knocking down the rail, how do you make a jumper hit a rail if he does not want to! All in all great ep[iosde, but please BW anwser my above questions!!!

I hate you guys. you really know how to kill some people. If spartan has to get put down I will CRY!!!!! please don't make me cry

I have commented twice on this episode but there is one thing that none of us are asking ourselves is Mallory okay. Let me be the first to confess that she was second on my mind after the shock tapered off.
I hope that she is okay. I keep thinking now that it went to white because Mallory lost consciousness.
Well we do have awhile to wait.
I want to say I hope all of you have a Blessed week.
Blessings,
Celtic Thunder

How could the writters do this to us?!?!?! When I saw Spartan go down after that fence I felt my heart literally break! He CAN'T die!!!!!! He is arguably the REASON for this show! If Amy had never persuaded her mom to rescue him then her mom wouldn't have died in the accident and there would be no show. He is the only thing left connecting Amy to her mother you simply can't take him away from her like this! My Aunt said her friend has a horse that broke its leg but if you looked at him today you would never know! Spartan doesn't have to die from it!!! I start crying everytime I think about life at Heartland without Spartan it just isn't possible I don't know how I can watch without him! If Jeremy had even the slightest thing to do with this accident he will go down in history as the most horrible character EVER! That and I have no doubt Ty will kill him. There were so many little hints that make me think he had something to do with this!!!!!!! PLEASE don't let Spartan die!!!!!!! :'(

OMG!!!! I just watched the episode and I'm so saddened by Spartan's crash!! 😰 And when he whinnied at the end and then screen went white, that was the saddest thing ever!! 😰 And now we have to wait 3 weeks, (or is it 2), to find out what happens to Spartan!! 😩 If Spartan dies I will cry so much during that scene. 😰 At least, (from what it looked like), that Mallory's ok. 😔

I really enjoyed this episode! Keep up the great work-cast, crew, writers, directors, everyone!
I think the season is progressing...I was worried at the beginning of the season. But I think it is coming out just as our BW said it would! Thanks BW

I'm so heartbroken after lastnight's episode. But for those of you who are accusing Jeremy, it wouldn't make sense for him to do anything to jeopardize Spartan and Mallory. Georgie and Mallory were in completely different categories...remember she got second place before Mallory even started? I'm truly hoping that Spartan doesn't die, the show wouldn't be the same without him. I know he doesn't technically do anything in forms as a character, but his role as Amy's horse since her mother passed away is very important. It's going to be a long three weeks!

In an recent post I referenced Ian Miller losing his horse but I meant Eric Lamaze losing Hickstead. Sorry for the error, but my point remains the same that in my opinion the storyline is in bad taste and that as an adult I found the scene with Spartan going down tough to watch, I can only imagine how all those young viewers who are horse crazy little girls and boys reacted. As a family show this episode missed the mark.

What happened to Spartan?!
Is he going to die? :(

I hate the fact that spartan will most likely be put down. It costs major money for that kind of surgery.
I just can't believe it though - I though Amy was very protective about who rides spartan

Spartan broke his legs when he went lver the jump with mallory will he be ok o new epksode for 2 weeks

Well last night's episode was awesome i loved it. Keep up the great work everyone. I am worried about spartan what happened to him. Man i hate when there is a ending like the one you guys had. I know that it is one of those ending to make people wanting more or to see what is going to happen next but i don't like them that much. Haha anyway i can't wait till next episode to see what happened to spartan.

@Sarah I also don't think Jeremy has something to do with the accident. But the people who believe he has, probably think it's because Amy didn't gave him Phoenix and not because of the competition. He might want Amy to feel the same way as he does, like: "If my horses legs are bad, Amy isn't supposed to have a health horse."

fisrt alova is a preaby B word and if sratin dies i will die ooohh good job gogi and man i would hat to be maliey

If Spartan is put down then it can only mean one thing that this season may very well be the last for Heartland. Spartan and Amy are the center of this show, the writers would not just kill Spartan off making the fans of Heartland upset and angry. Amy is going to be devestated if he dies. My question is why is why has this show suddenly become all about Georgie and her horse? If they were ending the series then it makes sense, otherwise can we focus back on Amy a bit more and her horse whispering. I really hope Spartan doesn't die but like someone already said the title's give it away. It's kinda sad really cause there hasn't been alot of Spartan and Amy storyline this season - to me he's been very neglected and now he might die. Poor Spartan. But then who knows the writers might be playing mind games with us and it all works out just fine (fingers crossed).

if you want to find out what happened to spartan read the description for the next episode on the calendar on their main page

i would hate to be maliey pulse good job gogie and if spartan dis i will die rite then and there ooooooo poor amy well if gajory had any thing to do witjh this we should make a mob and hurt him just like he did spartan nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooo
spartan cant die

Who is the horse the Mallorie was riding in the competition. It wasn't spartan was it???? I CAN"T WAIT ANY LONGER I NEED TO SEE THE NEXT ONE!!!!!! XD

Spartan can´t die.... Please noooo!!!

Love the show but it would be nice to have a few more "horsie issues" for Amy to deal with. I love all the family drama which makes Heartland a realistic show but I do miss the horse stuff...

Broken legs can be fixed. Maybe not jump or do anything tough with Amy, but still be a trail horse

OMG>>> I can't stand it.... 2 weeks-no heartland-no spartan?!??!?!!??! What has this world come to?@!?!#$%!^&*&^%$%!@^&*&^%$ :'(

love heartland this eposide was great i hope sparten does not die but i think in the next eposide ty will spend alot of time with amy and comfort her and he will be trying to help sparten i liked the way he jumped over the fence really fast and was the first one running to sparten and mallory hope she is ok i think that ty will punch jermary if he is the cause of this amy might even punch jermy if she finds out it was his falt all in all good eposide i think amy and ty will both cry they both are close to sparten amy will probly cry on tys shoulder they will spend alot of time togather in this next eposide amy will probly have lots of flash backs in the next eposide love heartland they should start planning there wedding they have to get married soon i think it might happen eposide 18 or the first eposide of season seven if there is one hope there will be one love heartland

Oh look at that. Horse jumping is as dangerous as rodeo! Who knew?! But you don't see PETA growling at the jumping circuit like they do at the rodeo circuit. Horses get hurt. People get hurt. Everyone tries to minimize the risk, but it still happens. It is the same as all other sports. One, PETA can hush their irrational tendencies and focus on real issues where risks have not been minimized. Two, people need to stop pretending there is no danger when you ask a horse to jump over a fence repeatedly with the weight of a human on its back. Three, everyone is concerned about Spartan, but what about Mallory? I'm more worried about her than Spartan. I don't mean to be brash. My stomach thrashed around when I heard the crack and the pair went down. I'm hoping Mallory got her foot out from under Spartan before he went down. I also hope Mallory fires Jeremy for his unprofessional conduct. What a little twerp! He needs the coaching money! What is he thinking?

My heart broke watching last nights episode. Sparten can't die. My son watched "The Never Ending Story" yesterday for the first time and cried when the horse died. I can't imagine what he will do if Sparten dies.

I love Heartland but this season has been too focused on Georgie. I know shows need to change but I agree that we haven't seen Amy working with as many horses. Jack is seen in every episode but hasn't had much of a story line. Bring Lisa back for him. Tim and Caleb aren't on as much. Focus on these people. I wish Lou and Scott would get back together. Lou needs someone better than Peter. Keep Georgie on but put her to the back burner.

ok great episode i loved the lou and peter stuff tho i think it was low of peter to punch caleb back he is rtthe adult and should have been the bigger person also i wish jack had been in it more luv him so much and u could kinda tell all the advice he was giving to peter was probably related to what he should have done with lisa cant wait till she comes back and when he saw lou and peter make up jack kinda looked at them like he wished it was him and lisa i think at the end of this continueing episode next week he will finally come to the realization that he needs to man up and call her in france or go there seriously cant wait

Its all jeremys fault if he didnt give mallory false hope and then break her heart she wasnt gonna be so distracted at the time and spartan wasnt gonna be hurt. And jeremy does it all for the money

Never mind my last comment; THREE WEEKS !!!!! Why do you have to torture us!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would really hate it if you were right, Jayne. I really hope that they keep the show going forever. It doesn't seem right to just stop the show. they had so much going with them (characters). If they did stop the show, it would be like watching a video and stopping it right before something good and never watching it again. It just doesn't make sense. They can't stop the show after all the years they already put in it. I mean, amy and ty will most likely get married in episode 618 and then we will want to know how they cope with being married and all that. I think that if they did end the show, they should at least wait until someone dies (not jack but someone young, that way they get alot more seasons out of it).
I hope you are right, WAF. I hope spartan can be fixed and amy can still ride him (not jump but use him as a trail horse).
I don't know how you people can think that jeremy did something to spartan to make him fall over and break his leg.I don't see how he could do that. Yes, he might be getting revenge because amy never gave him Phoenix, but how or what could he do to make spartan break his leg.

I have always wondered how the crew of Heartland can make these "accidents". Like whenever someones truck breaks down or dies, or when a horse does something (when amy is working with them)(or when spatan whinnied and then fell down) (like how they can tell the horses what to do).

I love Heartland and cannot WAIT until Febuary 10th. I am sure we will all be sitting on the edge of our seats for these next few episodes.

Je trouve ça vraiment plate que l'émission ce soit terminer ainsi... j'aurais au moins voulu voir un peu qu'est-ce qui est arrivé à Spartan !! Je ne c'est pas si c'est parce qu'il c'est blessé ou autres choses mais j'ai un petit doute que Jérémy ait un rapport dans cette histoire mais je n'en suis pas sur, peut-être l'a t'il drogué ? J'aimerais vraiment savoir des informations sur la prochaine épisodes qui est Waiting for tomorrow. Merci de vos informations j'espère en savoir plus ! :)

Mallory looked find but scared as she looked at Spartan. I do think she will carry guilt if anything happens to Spartan.

Heartland is my all-time favourite show, but I just don't think I could handle it if Spartan dies!!! I need to find out ASAP!!! Please please please don't let him die :'(

Georgie and all the other little kid actors who can't act are upstaging and ruining the show. Heartland has turned in a bad direction. I'm really disappointed with the way things are going. :(

please BW. its not fair, no one keeps their "new years resolution" please you need to tell us if spartan is the one thats going to die!! please everyone in the world is begging you!!! bw i am counting on you to save us from a painful two weeks!!! i will be reading every blog all the time i am trusting you.

thanks the world

hopeful

i can't wacht episodes and i do not now way

what is going to happen to spartan !?!?!

Omg, really BW! How could you end an episode with so much suspense!!!! If Spartan dies in the next episode I am going to cry!! That is sooo sad!!! ❤❤❤ Spartan!!!
Amy + Ty = 💛💙💜💚❤

I am also wondering about Mallory. I am pretty sure she was thrown from Spartan and may only have a few bruises - fingers crossed. I do wonder why she had to be the one riding Spartan when he got hurt. I imagine the guilt she will feel as a result, even if Spartan's injury heals. I think this may create another whole dynamic/storyline on the show as Amy may blame Mallory for the accident.

Great Episode!! But hope Spartan will be ok. That didnt look good when he fell. Hope Mallory is alright. Georgie did such a great job jumping Phoneix. She is a good jumper! It was cool that they had the competition at Heartland and Georgie and Mallory could still ride. It was hilarious when Peter punched Caleb back lol!! Please let Spartan be ok. Cant wait for the next episode the suspense is killing me!!!!!

what happens to spartan??????? it sounded like he broke his leg in the last landing... will he have to be put down???????? i would hate to see him get put down... he is a good horse and him amy and ty are the only reasons why i watch the show now... so please let him live... he is basically the main character...

This was one of my favourite episodes yet! I almost cried though, when Spartan got hurt!! Whatever happened to Copper? I am surprised Amy let Mallory ride him. I remember earlier when the show first started when Amy wouldn't let Mallory near Spartan. Then Mallory did ride him and he nearly died of pesticide poisoning. If Spartan does die though I'm gonna bawl my eyes out!! :( :(

Wow holy cliffhanger. Please let Spartan be ok. It was funny as Mallory was announced I was thinking that I can't believe Amy is letting her ride him.

I hate to be negative but I find Georgie's character to be very annoying. I have almost no empathy for her at all and when she was being so snotty to everyone even after she was getting exactly what she wanted I was thinking that I bet they wished they hadn't fought so hard to keep her ... ok that was a bit mean maybe. I just think with all this family has given her she could quit complaining and listen once in a while.

Why oh why does Mallory keep falling for jerks. Poor Jake.

URG!!! Cliffhangers are my enemies!! I was watching that and I saw Spartan break his leg and all I said was "Please don't end! Please don't end!... Crap! It ended!" I cringed when I heard his leg break and I couldn't sleep that night because I kept thinking What's going to happens to Spartan? He can't die! He's the best horse!

Really great episode! I was worried at the beginning of the season as well, but as the season progresses I am enjoying each episode. The actors do a fantastic job with their characters and everyone is so well cast. I also loved the reality between Peter and Lou. That is real life for ya and they did a great job of showing that. I just hope the writers don't go down the road of divorce. We need to see positive examples of how to work through issues and stay together. Nowadays it's just to easy to bail out on relationships and no one even tries to stay together. As always, Jack is the solid rock and I love how Amy & Ty are being given the opportunity to be drama free for a change and enjoy being in love. Good job writers, cast & crew!! Love the show!

I hope Amy and Ty get married in this season!
I decided my top 5 Amy and Ty episodes:
1. 609 Great Expectations
2. 610 The Road Ahead
3. 501 Finding Freedom
4. 303 Man's Best Friend
5. 404 Graduation.
Now my reasons for picking these episodes:
1. 609-ENGAGEMENT!!!
2. 610- so many cute kiss scenes w/ amy and ty
3. 501- so many cute kiss scenes w/ amy and ty
4. 303- Loved how Ty was learning how to dance for Amy and I loved when he handed her the promise ring
5. 404- Loved how Ty was so supportive with Amy throughout the whole episode and there is always the "YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL" line that Ty says to Amy which makes us all go, "awwwww...."

I thought this was a positive distraction from the tragedy with Sparten which has us all sad, hope that this makes you happy!

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL FEBRUARY 10TH!!

I have a question for BW-
Can you at least tell us if Amy and Ty will get married in this season and if you can't tell us that can you at least tell us if Ty and Amy will be happy by the end of the season?

BTW, if Ty and Amy are happy, then I'm happy too so what I am really asking is are the fans going to be especially happy with Ty and Amy's relationship by the end of the season??

You know what yur right lue it is to soon. while we wait for the time to be right, you might
want to think about who should be Apologizing. This attitude is so true with women all the time.
JUST KIDDING!! High 5 to the writer on this!!

I totally agree with all of Heartland's fans like myself (I've been watching it since the first season it premiered on CBC), DO NOT let anything happen to both Phoenix and especially beautiful Spartan!! DO NOT eliminate them from Heartland!!!!! KEEP SPARTAN and PHOENIX!!!

I'm sure those of us who ride felt especially sick at seeing Mallory and Spartan's "train wreck." To say that Heartland's writers like to invoke shock is an understatement!

First I want to say that Heartland is freaking amazing. It has great characters and actors with a truly believable storyline. Now with the latest episode I was both shocked and horrified when Spartan fell. I was going "no no no" when I heard the crack, and I haven't done that since Amy and Ty's break up in season 4. Spartan can't die he's the icon of Heartland, he's been there through the good and bad times for Amy. However, there are 2 things I know for sure. Spartan is tough. He survived the crash in season 1, was rescued from West in season 2 and beat the colic he had in season 4. I know for sure that Amy (and everyone who loves her) will do everything possible to save Spartan. Finally weather Spartan lives or dies (I hope he lives) we can guarantee that Amber Marshall is going to show the fans just how talented she really is. Hell the whole cast is going to show us, its Spartan we're talking about.

This episode was good. Glad that Lou didn’t fire Caleb. This brought out quite a fight between Lou and Peter. I have to agree with Caleb, Peter isn’t there for Lou. Was weird that Peter had to hit Caleb to make things better between them. Where did Lou knowing how to fix a truck come from? Where was she went Ty needed his fixed? lol Seems like she may like Caleb. Loved Jack this episode, obsessing over his lawn. Georgie did great at the jumping competition. She placed second. Really hope Spartan isn’t the horse we lose. It’d be like losing a main character.

They can't kill spartan off. He is the last thing Amy has of her mother. I will be a bit disappointed n the show though for a while for these things. (Love the engagement though)
1. There's nothing about healing horses
2. It's focusing more on Malory and Georgie. Yes I love both those characters but there's too much of them.
3. What the hell happened t all the old character??????? They just all vanished one day!!!
4. What happened to Ashley's moms yard (Briar ridge?? Can't remember now)
5. We may be loosing the main purpose of this show. SPARTAN!!!!!
6. Is their still a dude ranch??? Haven't seen that in a while....
Sorry if it seems like I'm complaining but this is just what I'm thinking....

Everyone is asking if Spartan is okay and if he dies, if you look ahead into February you'll see in the next episodes description that Scott finds out Spartan has a broken leg & Amy is forced to make the biggest decision of her life.
My guess is she has to decide whether to do surgery so she can keep jumping him, or to let it heal and keep his as simply a pleasure horse.

I'm a 16 year old, straight, male and I can honestly say this is one of my favourite shows. I have 5/6 seasons on DVD and have watched them all at least 6 or 7 times.

I can't imagine what I will do when this show ends.

Got twitter? @Davjdhatt

I love the fact that Ty and Amy are engaged and I'm ready for them to get going with the wedding plans. I've re-watched Seasons 1-5 and have to say I really enjoyed the writing and story line in Season 1. The writing seemed so real and everyday life, and just enough drama. Ty and Amy's portrayal of "young love" was spot on. The second half of Season 6 (seems) to be shaping up but it took long enough. I'm going to trust BW's guarantee and not get discouraged.

I sure hope Jack ( or someone else) doesn't end up having to shoot Spartan. :(

I love heartland it is the best show ever but if spartan dies I will cry I think he probably will as we saw Amy at the start of the show jumping him and maybe it was meant to be their last ride together. This storyline is horrible though no one saw it coming which makes it even worse!

And where has this series gone, there is none of Amy and her horse whispering anymore and that's what I thought it was all about!

Thanks heartland! X

I am Amber and Graham number one fan from Ireland
I am Heartland one fan from Ireland love Hearland
I hope my questions will be ansawering BW blog

Hey BW! I have a couple of questions: Will Spartan pull through and live or is he the horse you said we'd loose, because you did say it wasn't the first horse we'd think of, and a lot of people thought of Spartan and Phoenix. Second, when will we get to see Amy and Ty start to work out the details of their wedding? They've been engaged now for how long on the show? and we haven't seen or heard anything about it other than the occasional comment. Also, you said Chase would loose the title of most disliked character, is someone knew going to be showing up or does either Cassandra or Jeremy take that title?

NO! Why Spartan? Please no! Oh your breaking thousands of hearts. The show is supposed to be a enjoyable family movie. Not break our hearts! What happened to Amy working with horses? Pegasus was really bad, but please not Spartan. No,no,no, not Spartan..You just can't let Spartan die.And why have you aged Jack so fast? Are you going to kill him off too? Have you gotten new writers? Why are they writing so much sadness. You will lose lots of watchers if you kill off Spartan. Season 7 may not make it.It might just sink like the Titanic.

I read that when a horse breaks its leg, it has to be put down because it can't use its leg. Horses can't put alot of weight on their leg (sort of like humans). They can't lie down a whole lot either. So they can't really do anything with a broken leg so that kind if have to be put down right away.

I agree with you chris, amy and ty should start planning their wedding.

Celtic Thunder; Mallory is fine. When Spartan went down, Mallory knew to get her feet out of the saddle so she wouldn't get hurt. Nobody should worry about mallory. She might feel guilty because she was the one riding him went he fell, but she didn't get hurt or anything.

I cannot believe we have to wait THREE more weeks to figure out what happens next. These next few weeks are going to kill us all!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE HEARTLAND!!!!!!

I hope Spartan is all right! It should have been Olivia's horse! She deserves it, not Amy or Mallory. Spartan is all Amy has left of her mother! Don't take it away from her, and it's not Mallory's fault her coach hooked up with the veterinarian girl!

I wish everyone wouldn't get so bent out of shape about the Spartan situation so quickly...let's just see what happens. If he does end up dying, it will be very sad, yes, but at least the story lines are not all perfect and fairytale-like...real life happens, even in a lovely horse ranch world. I doubt Hickstead fans were happy when he died suddenly but it happened. :(

Hopefully though it ends up being different than everyone suspects. The ending was vague, anyway. It could be anything. So keep your chin up, guys!

OMG Spartan, be ok, i love d the episode until I seen Spartan break his leg, idk if I was the only one that hurt his bone snap.
Mind you I think this was unexpected because they didnt hint to use that something was gonna go horribly wrong, which usally it does. So I think this was by accident.
Also I think we have to wait three weeks for Spartan to get better and stuff like that.

Anyways get better soon Spartan, your a big part of this storyline and its to soon for you to go now.

We all love you Spartan, this must be hard on all the cast memembers especially Amber/Amy.

One of the main things I've enjoyed watching Heartland is watching beautiful Spartan. He looks like my horse, Jack, that we had to put down years ago. Please don't let Spartan die.

In the light of the 2011 tragic death in the jumping ring of Canada's best ever jumping horse, Hickstead, what on earth were you thinking of to replicate this terible scene so closely on a family show, and then 1)just stop the show immediately, leaving your audience in shock and 2) of all things to show a repeat the following week, so viewers still don't know what's going to happen. Don't you realize what you have done to kids (and adults) all over the country who watch this show - it was a thoughtless and terrible thing for you to do - and really plain stupid. If you don't know more about horses than to replicate the worst moment in Canadian show jumping history in what you call a family show, then get a better technical advisor! It was awful to watch, and for many of us brought back tragic memories of the death of a magnificent horse.

Glad the season got better. after the start I was not liking the story lines. but a few have mentioned, and I so agree... what happened to Amy and her horse Whispering? for 5 seasons that was the story, now besides a few times like the engagement episode, there has been nothing. I dont mind the storylines with georgie but this used to be about Amy doing her thing with horses and that is strongly missing this season. I know people grow up... but I thought she would always be doing that.

Spartan.... please pull through!! Heartland was all cheery a few weeks ago with engagement and ep 610 been so good, but now there's Peter and Caleb been nasty to eachother and now Spartan looks like his going to..... I can't write it.Scott can save Spartan! We gotta believe so!!

i can't wacht episode on hear and i do not no way

BW PLESE ANSWER THIS QUESTION!!!
Does Spartan die????
If he does I will never ever watch this shOw again! Please let it be Jeremy's horse painted to look like Spartan!!!??!?!?!!!!

i cant wacht episodes on here and i do not no way pls help

If you had to have something happen to Spartan, did you have to have Mallory be the one riding him when it happened? The poor girl never seems to have anything going right for her, and now Amy will blame Mallory for Spartans injury/death.

Ok so I watched this episode and it turned out a lot better then the last one. The sketchy drama seems to have gone away.

At the end of the episode when Mallory jumped over the last jump and Spartan fell down, I was so freaked out!!! It looked like he broke his leg. Mallory looked horrified and completely in shock. I just felt so upset after this, just seeing Amy running towards her horse after to help him. If that was me watching that happen to my horse I probably would have freaked out. I can't wait until the next episode to see if Spartan will be ok!!!

Only hope Spartan isn't hurt bad and Ty and Amy can help him TY needs this to remove doubt that he has what it takes to vet and strengthen his Amy relationship with her but they shouldn't forget about poor Mallory she is going to need as much help because she will blame herself more anyone else will because she was riding him just put all the blame that Pr Jermey he is nothing but ahole don't why he even on the show

AMAZING episode! Loved it :D Can't wait to see next episode where Spartan has a broken leg and Amy is "faced with the toughest decision of her life"...as it says in the calendar on the home page! I'm sure it will be incredible...as always :D

In regards to the latest episode I am with all of you hoping that Spartan pulls through (even if that means he can no longer be a jumping horse, which would be painful enough, since he loves to jump.)

Now is it just me or does it seem that Jeremy had something to do with Spartan being injured? Think about it at first Jeremy was a stuck up rich kid, fine who cares. However, in episode 11 he tries to guilt trip Amy into giving him Phoenix, because Buckingham cant really jump now. Not only that but ends up getting her drunk thinking she'll change her mind, then when she flat out says no, he gets upset and who knows what he's thinking. Maybe Jeremy in the long run wants Amy to feel the loss of a jumping horse too. 3 weeks is to long to know what happens. This is what happens when a show is beyond great :) Keep up the extraordinary work Heartland, would love to see Amy and Ty wedding in season 7.

Great show. It will be interesting to see the writers show how someone deals with the injury or death of a pet. I don't understand why people on here blame Peter. He is just going to work to provide for his family and wife's expensive lifestyle. It's not like he is out chasing around. It would be nice to see VAL again she always made things interesting.

this was an amazing episode. i feel so bad for Mallory, i hope Spartan is ok for both her an Amy's sake but i'm sort of afraid to watch the next episode. i don;t want him to have to be put down or be retired especially with the bond he and Amy have. the last time he went missing she almost had a breakdown i can't imagine what would happen if he died. Also I really like Georgie she adds a new aspect tot he cast and i think that Peter needs to step up, i don't know how Lou puts up with him half the time. I hope they get their house done soon it looked so beautiful before it burnt down.

Bw
Loved the episode!:D
Question: I was looking back in the archives at posts from Season 1 + 2 and on some posts there are supposed to be behind the scenes videos or podcasts but they aren't actually there and I can't find them anywhere else on the site. Posts: Oct 26 2007

omg is spartin dies i will die this is so terrible i will hate amllory for ever also is season six going to be the last because i will most definately be devestated if it is i love heartland its the best tv show ever.

Elizabeth has merit-the scene was shocking. Let's hope this time it has a good ending. Praying for Spartan, and for the amazing atheletes that are horses and USA/CA riders, worldwide really.
loved episode twelve.
#prayforSpartan

will we ever see ashley and caleb together again??

Gahhhh!!! I can't stand this wait anymore!! I need to know if Spartan dies!! Not knowing is driving me crazy!! So crazy that I had dream last night about Spartan getting killed by a bear! 😰 I have good feeling that Spartan will have to get put down in the up coming episode. 😰 But I don't need my hypothesis, I need to KNOW FOR REAL!!!!!!! 😩

If Spartan dies I will NOT buy the Season DVD's for episode 1-6. After that, who would care if there is a 7th season. Some of us actually watch this show because we are animal lovers and not to appease violence, and inoppurtunity. That would be cruel.

This was a fantastic episode. I love that Georgie is now taking the competitive torch of show jumping. I am thinking that the ending of Spartan falling... might be the same thing that happened to Hickstead (Canadian horse)- one of the best jumping horses ever-died of a ruptured aorta. Perhaps that will be the fate of the beloved Spartan. If so, great twist, but oh so sad.

Love how things just keep evolving. I think it is even better than ever. Thanks for keeping this show and MY dream alive.

I love the show also..I hope Spartan is ok from last week..I don't like Jeremy he as an attitude like he's better than anyone else..Peter needs to understand what Lou is going through too not just him

I loved this episode, even though I hated what happened at the end with Spartan :*(.

I dont know much about jumping, but don't you HAVE to count the strides between each jump? So that the horse has enough power to get up and over the jump and so that they land correctly on the other side and all that?

I didn't like Jeremy before but I definitely despise him now. I have a feeling that he sabotaged Mallory on purpose, to get back at Amy. If anything happens to Spartan he can kiss his career as a trainer goodbye. There is no way that ANYONE would let him near enough to their horses after this. Poor Mallory is going to feel horrible :(. I really hope that Spartan doesn't have to be HD'd. and that he can just be retired but I have a bad feeling about this.

I also didn't think it was anything like Hickstead, I don't know if it was just me but when Spartan landed it sounded like there was an audible crack, So something has to have been broken. Where Hickstead died due to an aortic rupture totally different.

I also thought it was funny with Olivia because was I like OMG mini Ashley LOL.

Im wondering why everyone is blaming Jeramy for Spartans accident. My money is on Cassandra if someone did something, after all Amy just brought her down a few notches in front of the vet students. And why not as Who would suspect her, everyone here is Blaming Jeramy. I really hope Spartan and Mallory are okay!!!

I'm a huge horse fan and love your Heartland show, it really inspires me the way you treat and show the horses in the episodes. Really encourages myself to one day own a horse and train it a none-aggressive way and gain it's trust and that it isnt all about force and "showing" the horse whose boss. I love the way all the horse problems are dealt with and hope the continue to do so. It's amazing what you do and how you manage it and it must inspire so many people! I have never agreed with the whips or mean way some people can train horses so this show is a breath of fresh air.

OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO SPARTAN!!! MALLORY MUST FEEL TERRIBLE even though she didn't do anything wrong!!! I was SO close to crying when everybody ran into the arena! When Ty jumped over the fence I was like, "GO TY! GOOO!". I think maybe he was having a heart attack!

I hope ot God Spartan is ok love the show can't wait to see what happends

Maybe if Spartan does not come back on the show after the next or two episodes it is not necessarily the writers faults! After all stormy (spartan) does have an owner! Maybe the owner has reasons to take him off the show!

I have been sick and have gotten hooked on Heartland on Netflix. Bad thing is I do not get it in my area, Georgia. Hope you can get it on in my area soon.

I see Spartan is still the talk of the blogs, and for good reason. Spartan is just as important as the rest of the cast, he's grown up over the last five and a half years just like everyone else in Heartland. He's without a doubt a huge part of the Heartland family.

Although it never crossed my mind that Spartan's (aka Stormy's) owner might want him back. Don't know why he's a TV star. Hope it's just the writers planning a big heroic, heart-warming episode for us all.

I notice that a lot of people are saying that Jeremy is not to blame BUT even if he did not do it on purpose he is still to blame. What kind of professional would be more focused on fooling around then on the rider he is supposed to be coaching?! He also knew that Mallory had a crush on him even if he didn't take it seriously (which he didn't because he shrugged it off when Amy told him) he still could have been a MAN about it and told her that he could never feel that way about her. Instead he said nothing. I hope that he gets what he deserves not only for his unprofessional manner but for his callous disregard for Mallory's feelings.

I'm fiftyish and totally love this my favourite show for many reasons. First of all it personifies my childhood dream and expectation, that didn't quite manifest, secondly it is so warm in so many ways and offers different ways of dealing with the negative or conflictual, disappointing and unforseen aspects of daily life and demonstrates to a great degree how things can be resolved and worked out no matter how bad things may seem (good messages and role models for all ages); thirdly and not least of all the horses and scenery! These are just a few.

My one disappointment was a recent handling of a young man spikeing Amy's drink...and her (and the shows) soft way of dealing with it. Could be a personal bias but I felt that situation should have been handled a lot more heavy handedly, demonstrating near zero tolerance...light treatment of such evil behaviour says its funny or amusing but we all know it can have a lot more serious consequences like date rape, drunk driving and possibly death or injury to self and others, could knock a sober alcoholic back onto the bottle and allsorts... I hope this is corrected in future episodes.

And I hope the show continues with many more seasons; oh and yes more horse healing by Amy and collaboration healing with Ty.

Thank you everyone!

Why did CBC discontinue Heartland reruns daily at 1pm?
So disappointed,it caught me up on all the programs I missed!
