thanks 46 and Thas! I went ahead and got it, fully realizing it would be stereotypical in some respects.
I left out that nice Canadian series
Heartland about a young girl horse trainer.....it was a good way to spend many winter days, and the good part was LOTS OF HORSES, horses, and more horses (racing and otherwise) with a rom-com backstory that didn't get too much in the way actually.
11 seasons, family friendly

I highly suggest
