Amy: Previously on "heartland":

- This isn't just about us
anymore.

I mean, we can't risk
hurting the girls

Making frivolous choices, right?

- But what about us getting
back together seems frivolous?

Finn: The shoes seem to be
agreeing with him.

- That's an understatement.
Feels like my horse again.

- New pair of shoes can make
all the difference

In the world sometimes.

- Oh, evan garland.
Pleased to meet you.

- Wait a second,
you're not his...

- Yes, his younger,
more handsome brother.

Name's blue.

I figured we could use
another horse around here

With some cow sense.

- Yeah, well, blue looks
pretty green, to me.

- (chuckles) well, he's halter
broke and he takes a saddle.

Sort of.

- Mm-hmm. Let me guess,
you got a good deal?

- Stumpy practically
gave him away.

- I have a bunch of client
horses

I have to work with today,
but if you need a hand,

I can spare some time
on the weekend.

- Ah, I think I can handle him
on my own.

- Okay, but from what
I've seen so far,

He looks pretty stubborn.

- Well, that's something that
blue and I have in common then.

- If you need a hand,
you know where I'm at.

I'll call them and see
if I can reschedule.

When did your dad say
he was free to go?

- We decided to do a ski trip
this winter, instead.

- That's too bad.
You love camping.

- It's no big deal,
we can just go another time.

- No, there is no way
I'm letting you miss out

On this experience.

Besides, you deserve a fun trip
before school starts.

- But I was just in vancouver
visiting dad.

- Yeah, that doesn't count.
You know what?

This site is already booked
and paid for,

So I'm gonna take you
camping instead.

- You?
- Mm-hmm.

- I thought you didn't
even like camping?

- Mm, true,

But that's only because
I went with your grandfather,

And he was always
so disorganized.

Just leave it to me.

I am gonna make this

What's with all the gear?

- I'm taking katie camping.
- Like, by choice?

- Yeah, of course.
- You hate camping.

- Yeah, true,
but katie loves it

And I want to spend some
quality time with her.

- Well, that'll be nice.

I remember I used to get
so jealous

When you and dad would go
camping without me.

- Yeah, and I'd get jealous you
got to stay home with mom.

- (laughs)
so, what's the plan,

Like hiking, fishing?

- Yeah, maybe.
Definitely hiking.

I was thinking since katie
and I will be alone,

It would be a good chance
to float the idea

Of her dad and I getting

- Just, uh, throw it
on the pile.

- Still can't believe
you're going camping.

You never seemed to enjoy it
when you were a kid.

- That's not true. I always
liked spending time with you,

Even if your approach
to camping

Was a little cavalier.
- Cavalier?

- Well, dad, don't get me
wrong, I had fun,

But I remember this one time,
we spent the whole weekend

Eating nothing but hot dogs
and baked beans.

I learned the hard way
that preparation is key.

- Mm.

- Are you sure we need
all this stuff?

Dad and I usually travel
pretty light.

Amy: Well, I don't know
what technique

Stumpy was using with blue,

But he obviously didn't get
very far.

- Well, that's not blue's fault.

Stumpy couldn't teach a horse
how to eat grass.

- (chuckles softly)

Why this horse, grandpa?

- I like him.

I know, it might seem like
he has a mean streak,

But he's not mean, he's just
too smart for his own good.

Logan, what brings you by?

- Hi, mr. Bartlett. Amy.
- Hey.

- I, uh, I just had
some free time,

So figured I'd come here
and see if amy needs help

With anything.
- Well, that's perfect.

I'm just about to start working
with a client horse

Who, uh, is a little nervous
around traffic.

- Cool.
- Come on,

I'll introduce you to rose.

(blue nickers)

- So, we just hang around
the road

And that'll cure her fear
of traffic?

- Well, sort of.
This has to be done in stages.

This isn't a very busy road

So it will get her used to cars
without them imposing a threat.

And then, as she gets more
comfortable,

We'll move to something
a little busier.

(car whooshes)

- How do you know
all this stuff?

Do you go to school for it?
Horse whispering 101?

- (chuckles) well, I, uh,
I learned a lot from my mom,

And the rest is...

Well, it's kinda just
intuition.

You know, like goin'
with your gut.

- Either have it or you don't,
right?

- Yeah, exactly.

- Don't know if I have
what it takes.

- You know,
this isn't something

That you learn overnight,
and I've seen you with horses;

You definitely have
what it takes.

But it's not enough for me
to believe in it.

You have to believe in it too.

Hey, scott.
(major neighs)

- Hey, amy.
- Uh, this is logan.

He's giving me a hand today.

- Good to meet you, logan.
- Nice to meet you.

- Uh, do you mind putting rose
away for me?

- Sure.
- Thanks.

- You wanna go?
- So, how's major doing?

- Well, you were right,
he has ulcers.

I started him on some meds.

Mm. It should clear up
in a few days.

- Thank you.

Um, if you have a few minutes,
can you look at spartan for me?

- Sure. Something wrong?

- No, it's actually
the opposite.

He's got a new spring
in his step.

I dunno, I got him reshod
a few weeks ago.

I don't know if that has
anything to do with it.

- Well, that's great.
- Yeah.

I've been taking him out riding
almost every day,

And if I let him, he'd be
flying along the trails.

- So, why don't ya?
- His arthritis.

- We got that under control.
- (sighs)

I know, it's just...
He's not a young horse

And I don't wanna injure him.
- Yeah,

It's a balance
with older horses.

You don't wanna push 'em,

But you also don't wanna
let them get too bored.

- Yeah. Well, I'm just still
trying to figure out

Where that line is, I guess.

- Why don't we go for a ride
together

And afterwards,
I'll run some tests,

See where he's at.
- Yeah. Okay,

That sounds great.
- Okay.

Spartan looks like
he's in pretty good shape.

I think if he wants to keep
going, you should let him.

It's your call.
- Yeah, let's do it.

- It's okay.
It's-it's no problem.

We'll just um...

We'll replace the tent pole
with a... With a branch.

We just need to figure out a
way to attach it to the frame.

- Duct tape?

- (snaps fingers)
that's a great idea.

Okay, I'll find a branch,

- Sure. Uh, where'd you put it?

- I didn't bring any.
Did you?

- You were the one who was
going on about being prepared.

- (sighs)

No problem.
So we're down a tent pole.

It's not the end of the world,

We'll figure it out.

Amy: So, scott did a full
check-up and lameness test

On spartan today.
- Oh yeah?

How's he lookin', scott?
- Oh, great!

He's in better shape than a lot
of horses half his age.

- Well, good.
Sounds like old spartan's

Getting a new lease on life.

- This is all over a pair
of shoes?

They must be magical shoes.

- Dad, they're not magical.
It's just,

This is about conditioning
and maintenance

And the more I do with spartan
without him being sore,

The stronger he gets.
- You know, amy,

There's an endurance race
this weekend

Over at the williamsdale ranch.

You should think
about entering.

- (scoffs)
- are you serious?

- It's a 50-mile race,
mostly just for fun.

- Spartan's a geriatric horse.

He shouldn't be entering
a race.

- My client, she just won
a big endurance race

Down in the states.
Her horse is 27 years old.

- See? There ya go, tim.
Just 'cause you're getting old

Doesn't mean you're all
washed up.

(chuckles)

- (vrooming)
- okay, you two,

Come on, sit down for dinner.

(footsteps approach)

- So, how is spartan
gonna win this race?

He can barely gallop anymore.

- Well, the point wouldn't be
to win,

Just to challenge spartan.

- I'm still worried about
his arthritis.

- I'm working as one
of the vets.

We check the horses
every 20 miles or so.

I wouldn't let spartan,
or any of the other horses,

Continue if they weren't
completely sound.

But it's totally up to you,
amy. No pressure.

- Why don't you enter shadow?
He's a lot faster.

- Nah, the endurance race

Is not about being fast.

It's about playing
the long game.

(door bangs shut)
- hey,

Thanks for your help today.
I really appreciate it.

- (exhales) yeah, no problem.
Had a really good time.

Good night.
- Good night.

- Hey, amy?

You know, you should really
enter that race.

I bet you and spartan would
kick some serious butt.

- Well, thank you.
I'm not so sure about that.

- Remember what you told me
about working with horses?

You know, being confident,
not doubting yourself.

Maybe you should take
your own advice.

(bike clicks away)

- (sighs)

Lou: (sighs)

The tent is a little sad
looking, but...

How 'bout this dinner?
Pretty great, huh?

- It's delicious.

I've never had food like this
on a camping trip before.

- Oh, I'm so glad you like it.
- We should probably hurry up

And finish eating
before it gets too dark.

We still need to hang food up
in a bear bag.

- Oh, no, no, no,
don't worry about it.

We'll just throw everything
in the suv when we're done.

- But dad and I always hang
food up in a bear bag.

- Trust me, there is no way

That a bear is getting
into the car.

Just enjoy your meal.
No need to rush.

What do you say?

Are you up for one more
challenge?

(spartan nickers)
- yeah? Okay. Okay.

You rest up, all right?

We've got a race
to get ready for.

(spartan nickers)

Job is
to meet me at each checkpoint

And make sure that spartan
has plenty of water,

And that he's cooled down.

- All right, so I'm like your,
uh, your pit crew.

- Yeah, exactly.

- Well, how am I supposed
to get to every checkpoint?

I can't drive.
(truck rumbles)

- Well, that's why I invited
my dad.

(spartan nickers,
engine shuts off, door slams)

- Oh, I'm here. Still think
this race is a crazy idea.

- Yes, I know you do,
but I appreciate it.

I'm gonna go get registered.

(logan's phone rings)

- Are you gonna get that?
- Uh, no.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- Amy! Hey!
- Evan!

- What a nice surprise.
- Yeah.

- So, are you here cheering
somebody on?

'cause I hope it's me.
- Um, I'm actually competing.

- Oh! Oh, I didn't know
you were an endurance racer.

- Well, I'm not, really.
This is my first race.

- Oh, okay. Well, you picked
a good one to start with.

It's only 50 miles.
Should be a piece of cake.

I mean, I doubt my horse
is even gonna break a sweat.

I did tell you about my new
horse, right? Fire season?

- Yeah, I think you mentioned
it at the pub.

- Well, look, if you need
any tips,

I've got a lot of experience
doing these races, so.

- Yeah, you might've mentioned
that too,

But I think I'm good.
- Okay.

Well, if you change your mind,
let me know.

- That kid is such a blow-hard.

- (laughs)

Caleb, what're you doin' here?

- Well, I dabble
in endurance races.

- You dabble?
- Yeah.

I thought, why not enter one
for old time's sake.

- Mm-hmm.

Sounds like a bit
of a coincidence to me.

- Okay, maybe tim put the bug
in my ear. (laughs)

Hope you don't mind a little
friendly competition?

- No, I don't mind at all.

- And the best part is,
we can both kick evan's butt.

- (sighs) look, I just hope
I finish the race.

I'm not here to beat evan.
- Well, I am.

lumberjack competition,

Can't wait to wipe that
smug grin off his face.

Oh my gosh! Ew!

- What is it? What's wrong?

- I guess bear bags aren't
only for bears.

Oh, got into the bread.

Ugh! All of our vegetables
and our herbs are ruined!

Just before the first

So, you can make up

So, if I already like you,

To find something

He's obviously pushing that

That's not smart.

You're a popular guy.

- Yeah. It's my dad.
He... Won't stop calling.

- Do you two talk a lot?

- Well, you know, we used to,

But, uh, I don't know,

There's not much to say.

- Earlier you asked me about
amy's mom.

It's true, she was the best
at what she did,

And she passed her knowledge on
to amy.

And I might've passed on
what I knew,

But I didn't,
because I wasn't there.

And that's nobody's fault
but my own.

But I've spent a lot of years

Trying to make up
for that time.

Lost time.

That's time you don't get back.

My point is that,

Not a day goes by
where I'm not grateful

That my daughters gave me
a second chance.

'cause I'm not sure
I deserved one.

You know, you never really
needed me out there, anyway.

So, do me a favour,

Don't let evan win.

Gah... We've been patting

About how well we navigated
our divorce and...

Now I see that we sunk

I'm really sorry.

You're both always there

My daughter's didn't take
my calls either.

He's missed out on every

But he can't fix the past,

And trust me,
he wishes he could.

When my daughters finally
