Heartland Season 17 Story
If there were to be another season for the said series it would most probably be continuing the same storyline the entire series has followed to date.
The series mainly revolves around Amy Fleming and the horse ranch she lives in. The horse ranch is named Heartland and that is where we got our series name from. Amy along with her family and friends tends to help and care to take abused and abandoned horses.
Even though the very series might seem something out of the past it follows psychological-based therapy sessions to take care of the mistreated and helpless horses, rather than leaving them to traditional training methods.
That is not the only point of the story, our main lead Amy herself is quite hurt herself and she finds herself relief and healing every time she helps a horse in need. All her sorrows and worries that generally drown her do not even seem like something important when she is able to help the miserably left animal friends.
It is not just a happy-go-lucky series about a girl who lives on a ranch helping horses. Rather it is a series where you see the troubles and choices somebody who is responsible for more than herself is made to take. Irrespective of the decisions she takes at times either would have a negative impact on her.
She is left off to face and make decisions that tend to put the entirety of the horse ranch Heartland’s future and fate alongside herself too. The series is a multi-generational saga with Amy and the entirety of her family is trying to help out with the ranch and living together through all the happy and hard times.
Talking about all this, even though Amy is the main character of the series she is not the only on trying their level best to make everything work right. Her sister Lou leaves everything of hers and returns to Alberta, Canada to help Amy with the horse ranch and everything the family is going on after their mother’s sudden death.
Not only that the show also depicts and describes the introduction of new people and new relationships that come along in their lives with the passing of time. The 15th season of the series basically highlights Amy who is learning the aspects of life which is short and hard. She pertains all of this and tries to create a Bartlett- Fleming Family legacy.
Heartland series is considered one of the best for it does not follow the basic Canadian pop culture theme that was followed back when the series first began to air. It focused on portraying the life of the Albertan horse ranch in a way that would appeal to a vast range of audiences irrespective of their age or liking.
It successfully captured the hearts of all the generations out there as it displayed the hard and happy lives the multi-generational family led in the said series. Some of the fans who have basically grown up watching the series term it as their comfort space, a series that makes them feel calm and at home.
