The fall colours and the park area of Spruce Meadows.
#TBT to that time when I was walking to our vehicle with my family & ran into 2 of the beautiful ladies from my favorite show Heartland!! I had just played a show at the Spruce Meadows ‘National’ in Calgary, Alberta & was watching the stunning athlete horses & riders compete in the Skybox. (Thanks to the team @ Spruce Meadows who brought us in to sing!) I had some of my relatives with me & had JUST said about a 1/2 hour before to my aunts “most of anything I know about horses is what I’ve learned from the show Heartland”. Kind of laughing about it! They knew of the show but didn’t watch it & I was gushing to them about how great it is & family friendly, but it also covers ALL kinds of real life situations in a classy, earthy, appropriate way. There are some hard times in the show for sure-but they get through them-together. During the pandemic, a friend suggested it & my kids & I fell in love with it. When they would go to their dads I would have to patiently await their return before I could move forward in the series. (Although I did watch ahead one time & had to go back & rewatch with the kids-they were not happy with me!). I truly love this show. Sooooooo…..I had just left the skybox to leave & who did I run into? None other than Lisa Stillman-Jack Bartlett’s wife & horse owner & expert (real name-Jessica Steen) and Jessica Cook-Tim Fleming’s wife (real name Michelle Nolden). I was like “oh my-hi-I just love your show” they were so kind & then I went to walk away & turned around & said “I think I have to get a picture with you-my kids are going to love that I met you-I LOVE that I met you-but I’d love to show them when I get home”. So the ladies were VERY gracious & took this picture with me. There is a better one of me smiling bigger but one of the ladies eyes were half open & I didn’t want to show that one so this is the one. If you want a show that has a ton of real life experiences, uses horses to learn many life lessons & can watch it with your kids-this is the show. There is a reason there are 16 seasons. Soooooo good! I can’t promise you won’t cry or go through ALL the emotions with this show-in fact I can guarantee you will. It’s a RIDE!🐴🐴🐴
