text: Georgie is Lou and Peter 's adopted daughter , Jack 's adopted great - granddaughter , and Phoenix 's owner . She has a best friend named Steven whom she met in the seventh / eighth season . When she first came to Heartland , she was a misbehaving runaway , but because she wanted to stay , she began to improve her behavior . Georgie has a habit of running away from every foster home in which she 's been placed . Jack agrees to foster her until Clint was able to find another family to foster her . Not wanting her to leave , Lou and Peter agree to become her long - term foster parents and later adopt her . Georgie adores Katie , her little sister . She also loves Phoenix , a horse who repeatedly ran away from a neglectful home , and through the intervention of the Fleming / Bartlett / Morris family , she found a new home at Heartland . She is a naturally talented show jumper , reminding Ty of Amy on Spartan when she jumps with Phoenix . She met Phoenix when she was escaping from her social worker and rode for the first time , astounding the family . Georgie is a tomboy and shares a lot of Amy 's personality ; she is fearless , talented , strong - minded , and clever . This makes Mallory very jealous of her when they first meet . In Season 6 , she finds an Alsatian dog running wild , whom she is allowed to keep and names Remi . When Georgie was 3 , her birth parents were killed in a car accident . She has an older brother named Jeff . Over time , Georgie develops strong bonds with the family . However , she continues to misbehave at times , even running away once . She has a rival named Olivia , with whom she later develops a grudging friendship . In the later seasons , Georgie and Olivia join the Extreme Team , a trick riding group . This replaces show jumping as Georgie 's main extracurricular interest . She works hard and is one of the best members of the team , performing stunts such as Roman riding . Georgie has some difficulty balancing schoolwork , life on a ranch , and her interest in trick riding . She struggles in math , to the point that Lou hires a math tutor on the recommendation of Georgie 's teacher . While Georgie is very reluctant to have a tutor in math , her grades improve . Georgie later develops romantic feelings for Adam Parker , her tutor . Although he reciprocates her feelings , Adam 's father is against their association , feeling that Georgie is a bad influence on his son . Eventually , it all works out and Georgie and Adam date for a few months . They break up over a perceived breach of privacy when Adam sees Georgie 's messages exchanged with Clay McMurtry and thinks she has feelings for him . Georgie also develops a strong friendship with Jade Virani , though they were definitely not friends when they met in Season 7 .
