This is a Canadian show filmed in the beautiful mountains of Alberta. It's about a teenage girl who is a talented horse whisperer. Lots of family drama and growing pains. Well worth it if you've never seen or heard of it. It's definitely something you could watch with your parents or your kids.

My daughter is completely in love with anything that has to do with horses, so I purchased this series for her. It has turned out to be a family favorite and are getting ready to purchase season 2.

My daughter recently moved back home after living in Canada for two years. Her favorite show while she was in Canada was the Heartland series. I bought her the first season and she was thrilled. I am very pleased with this purchase and will be looking to buy the remaining seasons in the future. I would like to get her the second season for Christmas. Would buy this again from Amazon!!

A local CW TV station has picked this show up for Sunday early evening viewing. My husband and I love it and plan our Sundays to be home to watch "Heartland" at 6:00 pm. However, these are not showing in order and are a couple of years old. When I found that the seasons are available on DVD this was a must order for us both. The show presents characters that you can believe in with realistic attitudes and attributes. With the death of their mother, two sisters, as different as sisters can be, with their grandfather, work to keep the family ranch with different ideas. Amy, the youngest, continues her mother's work with abused and neglected horses, while Lou, with a MBA, tries her hand at developing an "equestrian retreat" (dude ranch). Grandpa Jack wants to keep to the old ways and offers Lou ideas to incorporate the old with her new ideas. The girls' father comes into the picture after the mother's death working nearby to earn the trust from his daughters and to become part of their lives. Lots of water under the bridge, though, between Dad and Grandpa! Then there's the snooty neighbors, what happened to Grandpa Jack's girlfriend, Lisa, and of course, Ty, the cute ranch hand that is turning out to be less bad boy and more insightful and thoughtful. Shot with the Canadian Rockies as back drop, this show is lovely to view. The music is relaxing and adds so much to the atmosphere of the show. Good clean wholesome fun for the entire family. No sex, no foul language and minimal, cowboy punchin' violence. You can't go wrong with "Heartland."

Great Characters. Awesome and realistic Stories. Well worth watching. Wish more seasons were available On Demand. Even better than the show Wild Fire.

This is the best movie i have seen! I love being able to watch the movie without commercials and interruptions. Each dvd has a least 3-4 episodes on it and you are able to choose to play all or pick the one you want to watch. It is a great family movie!

This is a wonderful program for a family to sit and watch together. It reaches out to every age group.

When watching this series for the first time I couldn't help but compare it to the book series that it was suppose to be based on. I eventually was forced to conclude that each (the books and shows) have their own 'Good Points'. The shows are enjoyable, most everyone will like them. My big downer on it was Ty's past and Lou's marriage mate. In my opinion they should have followed the book but whatever. All in all I would and have reccomended the series to anyone.

We watched this as a family after my daughters read the Heartland books, on which the TV show is loosely based. They've done a good job with the show, it's nicely set and photographed, and the acting is decent. The horse scenes are pretty silly at times and full of technical errors, but that's TV for you (we're horse owners, which kind of ruins the horse scenes for us as we pick them apart!). Great show for family viewing (not very small children, but over 6 OK). We're eagerly awaiting Season 2!

This is a good clean show the entire family can watch and enjoy. I wish there was a boxed set for all 4 seasons...can't wait for the next one to come out, it is that good!
