Meet Lindy Lonsberry, Amy Fleming’s Stunt Double on Heartland

Fans of CBC's beloved series Heartland often talk about the amazing connection Amy Fleming, played by Amber Marshall, has with the horses. It looks so seamless on screen – the stunning rides, the quiet understanding, the action. While Amber brings Amy's horsemanship to life, capturing those really demanding equestrian scenes sometimes involves the incredible skills of dedicated stunt performers working behind the scenes.

Today, we're thrilled to introduce you properly to the amazing Lindy Lonsberry.
So, who is Lindy? She’s the fantastic stunt double who sometimes takes the reins (literally!) for Amy Fleming during some of the more demanding riding sequences shown on screen.

That's where Lindy comes in. She handles the tricky action scenes, making sure they look smooth and, most importantly, that everyone – people and horses – stays safe. It takes a huge amount of trust and real skill to make difficult stunts look like something Amy would naturally do.

"Seeing Lindy work highlights the incredible partnership needed to bring Amy's equestrian world to life. It's a blend of talent, trust, and true horsemanship."

Learning about Lindy's role offers a fascinating look into the collaborative spirit on the Heartland set. It truly is a dance between the lead actor (Amber Marshall), the stunt performer (Lindy), the skilled horse trainers, and, of course, the magnificent horses themselves. Each plays a vital part in creating the moments we love.

While sharing this behind-the-scenes peek is exciting, we know the biggest question remains: what's next for Heartland? As mentioned, things are bustling here, and while CBC works on many productions, the specific future of Heartland is still being determined. We truly appreciate your passion and your patience – it means a lot. We promise to share official news as soon as we have it.
