Perhaps the thing I hate the most



On this show, when someone falls off a horse they scream like Smaug the Dragon is hurling fire at them.

"MALLORYYYYYY!!!!!"

"AMYYYYYYYYY"

"TYYYYYYYYY"

"GEORGIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"

Now, falling off a horse is a rather common occurrence, especially on this show. And when the rider clearly executes a good fall it would be nice if the actors would walk on up and just say "You ok?" instead of acting like the rider fell off of Mount Everest.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I also find it hard to believe that, even in Canada, this rural family or their neighbors would never mention God or church, ever, on this show.

The only two times there may have been a reference was when Amy and Ty were going to get married in a church and when Mallory got married it looked like the officiant may have been holding a Bible.

This is not even a remotely accurate depiction of rural life, even in Canada.

I also hate "Maggie's". In all the years Soroya's mom owned the place I'm pretty sure it was always referred to as "the diner". Now Lou says "Maggie's" every chance she gets. Annoying.

There are a couple of these a few episodes into season 12.

“MIAAAAA!!!!!”

“JADDDEEEEE!!!!”

You would think these people would be used to people falling off horses at this point.

I don't get why Amy calls Soraya her best friend. They hardly see other, I have never seen Soraya at the ranch, Soraya seems to have no interest in horses. There just isn't anything that ties them together other than the writers say so.
