On Heartland, Georgie rides several different horses who each have unique specialties, including her horse Phoenix, who has to jump, trail ride, and do Roman riding. “She’s a jumper, and really elegant and fast-a spicy mare-and I call her my dragon.” “He has had some health issues and I spent a year rehabilitating him, so he is now ridden mostly by a little girl who adores him.” Her other horse, Diva, was imported from Germany and became a member of the family just a year ago. “On When Calls the Heart, I played a farmer’s daughter and had a really great time on the show, as I’d never done a period piece before.Īll my scenes involved cleaning the barn or mucking out the stalls, and I even had several scenes with Erin (series star Erin Krakow), where I showed her the gap most horses have in their mouth that can accommodate a bit.”Īlisha was able to purchase Aflame, a hunter/jumper who now does tricks, when she was just 13, and is still amazed how he understood her from their first meeting. “Perhaps I just have that ‘look,’ and do love being a horse girl,” she explains.

Soon after that came her starring role on Heartland, and she was well out of the starting gate.ĭuring her annual four-month hiatus from the series, Alisha has co-starred in the made-for-TV movie The Tree That Saved Christmas, in the Syfy channel’s horror film The Hallow, in the action/sci-fi feature Scorched Earth, and the beloved Hallmark Canadian period Western series When Calls The Heart.Īlthough Alisha has appeared in a slew of modern and historic Westerns, she thinks that her casting in these shows is more by happenstance than design. Immediately following, she made an appearance on the hit series Supernatural and subsequently played several leads in some challenging independent films before making her big-screen debut in 20th Century Fox’s Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters starring Alexandra Daddario and Logan Lerman. Her first big role came as a series regular on the Western, The Wyoming Story, an Amy Sherman-Palladino pilot for CW/Warner Bros.

However, I do admit, some of the happiest moments of my life are galloping through the mountains, riding Western with my friends.”īorn and raised in Vancouver, Alisha has been appearing on TV and in film for almost 15 years and has been seen in more than 100 hours of prime-time television. Obviously, I didn’t do the whole stunt, but I got into position and was upside down at a trot. “There was one scene when I had to do a suicide drag, which entails hanging upside down on a galloping horse.
“Jerri’s a trick-riding legend and wrangler on the show who helped me a lot with my confidence,” Alisha says. For the amazing trick-riding stunts, the young rider turned to Jerri Duce.
She now owns, trains, and rides two horses: Aflame, a Dutch Warmblood pinto gelding, and Diva, an Oldenburg mare.Īlthough Alisha now typically rides English when not working on Heartland, she made friends early on with several cast members who would ride Western with her off-set to help develop her riding skills, as she was so young when she joined the series. Alisha started riding Western when she was 4 on her grandma’s Vancouver ranch and added the English discipline at age 11, upon learning that Georgie was going to be riding jumpers on Heartland. Riding bareback and both English and Western-and even doing some trick riding-Alisha, as Georgie, seems to understand the motives, needs, and even desires of the horses she works with on the show. Not only does she understand the value of hard work and fair play on the Heartland family ranch, she develops extraordinary equine skills. Watching Alisha Newton grow up on the critically acclaimed series Heartland, in which she has starred for nine seasons, fans are treated to Newton’s character, Georgie Flemming, blossoming from a young scrappy preteen into a grounded 20-year-old.
