Heartland

Netflix is a fairly new addition to our household and I have been getting my money's worth watching loads of films and tv I have missed.

I came across the tv series Heartland just recently and I am now a big fan. There are not many true "family" shows around anymore. It can sometimes be hard to find something we are all interested in watching. It can be even harder to find something that is age appropriate. Heartland has got us all hooked though, even the men in the house who pretend not to watch are actually enjoying it (although they'll never admit it!)

The series is set on a horse ranch in Alberta, Canada called Heartland and follows the highs and lows of the people who live and work there. At the centre is Amy Fleming, a young girl who has inherited her mother's gift with horses. The stories vary between family dramas and heart warming horse rescues and rehabilitations.

You don't have to be a horse fan to appreciate this show though because there is plenty of other stuff going on too. The dysfunctions of the Bartlett / Fleming family and the trials and tribulations of their love lives supplies more than enough entertainment. Oh, and I dare you not to fall in love with Sugarfoot!
