Heartland is a horse farm nestled in the hills of Virginia, but it’s much more than that. Heartland is a place like no other, a place where scars of the past can be healed, a place where frightened and abused horses learn to trust again. Join Amy Fleming and her boyfriend, Ty, at a wonderful place called Heartland, as they heal horses, and hearts. A great series, one of my favorites.
