Plot[]
Amy is inspired to take her horsemanship to a new level when she works with Renard, a professional liberty horse trainer (one who trains horses without tack). Shane runs away to Hudson, and Ty brings him to the ranch. Shane asks to see Pal, but the rescue horse has been re-homed, and Amy asks Shane why he ran away. Tim makes a trade to get Pal back for Shane, and continues to hide from Amy and Lou that Shane is their half-brother. Ty seeks to rent Caleb's trailer to be more responsible and to have a place to take Amy. Amy becomes upset that Ty is moving out, but he helps her see the good that can come from it. Amy questions Ty about their relationship, which he doesn't want to label. Ty helps Amy find the perfect spot to train Spartan, and she makes progress with Renard's advice. Mallory wants to go to the spring formal dance and tells Jake that they are going, but it is not a date.
