Amy is busy training Spartan for an upcoming jumping competition.

When one of the barns erupts into flames Jack is badly injured getting the horses to safety. Mallory is devastated and Lou and Amy are drawn together, terrified that they might lose their grandfather. When it starts to look like arson was the cause of the fire, Ty and Scott join forces with Tim Fleming to find the likely suspect and in the process Jack finally offers Tim the olive branch of friendship.

A famous race horse is sent to Heartland to see if it can be rehabilitated.

Lou has no intention of playing mid-wife to the pregnant mare, Melody, but Grandpa Jack insists she stay. With Ben away at a jumping show and Jack and Ty at a cattle roundup, Melody goes into labour. Lou calls in an eccentric old neighbour who uses traditional remedies to heal horses to help with the delivery.

Lou charges ahead with the video to advertise Heartland, despite the fact nobody is supportive of the idea.

Horse breeder Lisa Stillman is so impressed with Amy's work, she sends her nephew, Ben, to live at Heartland. Amy and Mallory can't believe the way he treats his horse, Red. After Red runs away from Heartland, the girls go searching for him. They find the horse near the edge of a river, but when Amy tries to lead Red across, his fear of water sends him into a panic, knocking Amy unconscious.

An unknowing Ashley rides Swallow and is violently thrown off when the horse is spooked by a truck.

When Amy discovers that a horse named Spartan is being abused, she convinces her mother to rescue the horse and bring him back to Heartland. On the way home a raging storm sends their truck and horse trailer careening off the side of the road, killing her mother. Grandpa Jack helps Amy find the strength to stop blaming herself and begin the process of healing Spartan, and healing her own heart.

Lou decides to make a promotional video for Heartland. Ty's new job at Briar Ridge isn't going as planned. Scott gets Amy to help with a wild pony.

Set against the stunning vistas of the Rocky Mountains, Heartland follows fifteen-year-old Amy (Amber Marshall), her older sister Lou (Michelle Morgan) and their grandfather Jack (Shaun Johnston) through the highs and lows of life on a family-owned ranch dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating horses.
