OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT, SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! I will update this post with all the new info we get.
The success of a family run ranch in the foothills of Alberta isn’t guaranteed even in the best of times, but when Season 18 begins Heartland’s future has never been more precarious. With new competition from a neighbouring ranch, and a drought threatening the health of the herd, the only solution is for the Bartlett-Fleming family to buckle down and adapt like never before. Amy’s work with horses continues to be her focus, but when she unexpectedly finds her heart pulled in two different directions, she’ll be forced to make a difficult decision. Lou will be more involved than ever in the family cattle business, often putting her at odds with Jack and Tim. But when it matters most, the entire family will come together and prove that no adversity is too great when you’re united. It will take courage, resolve, and strength of character to overcome the challenges ahead. In other words, it’ll take true grit.
