Plot[]
Ty's mother Lily sends Amy her racehorse Howler's winnings, which are rather substantial. Logan is considering dropping out of high school to work, so Amy offers to give him Ty's college course book. As she searches for the book, she sees a gift and card that Ty bought her for their 6th wedding anniversary. He wrote that he and Amy could leave a legacy. Because the horse therapy center is lacking the funds to stay open, Amy decides to donate some of Lily's winnings to the center, naming it the Dr. Ty Borden Equestrian Youth Centre. Clint decides to run it permanently and tells Logan that he can live and work at the center, rather than the group home if he stays in school; Logan agrees. Peter and Lou tell Katie that they are back together, and Lisa's racehorse Platinum Bow wins the Kentucky Derby.
