Season 12 of HEARTLAND (11x60) sees the Bartlett-Fleming clan dealing with day-to-day challenges and pursuing forgotten dreams. Their strength will be tested as they face personal struggles and look to one another for guidance and support. 

The season opens with Amy (AMBER MARSHALL) and Ty (GRAHAM WARDLE) trying to balance life with their toddler and perpetually busy schedules. Realizing a long-time goal of working together turns out to be the solution, even though the decision presents inevitable ups and downs. When a newcomer unexpectedly arrives at Heartland, Amy and Ty are confronted with a difficult choice that could change their family forever. 

Meanwhile, Georgie (ALISHA NEWTON) enlists a new coach and faces immense pressure to reach the next level, causing her to make challenging sacrifices. In order to support her daughter, Lou (MICHELLE MORGAN) makes a decision about her expanding business in NYC. But when she discovers an old flame has moved on, she may regret her choice. 

When a troubling family situation takes Lisa (JESSICA STEEN) abroad, she and Jack (SHAUN JOHNSTON) confront problems in their relationship. Then, as devastating news is delivered regarding an old friend, Jack’s resilience is tested even further. All the while, Tim (CHRIS POTTER) is making drastic life changes that lead to a further rift between him and Jack.
