Overview: Inspired by the true story of the talented, driven horse rider Debi Walden. Debi defies the odds against her -– first, by becoming a top competitor in a field reserved for the wealthy, and then by surviving a near-fatal riding accident.

In virtual isolation, supported only by the loyalty of her sponsor, she forces herself through painful rehab. Fuelled by sheer force of will and fierce courage, Debi wins the US national jumping championship on a horse once slated for slaughter.

DVD Verdict: In truth, I had already given up hope that I would find a modern horse film that you can actually watch. After being so disappointed with Hannah’s Races, I decided to give A Sunday Horse a determined try, as I am a big sucker for these kinds of movies.

Knowing that this one had some big star names along for the ride - William Shatner, Ving Rhames, Linda Hamilton, et al. - I have to say I was happily surprised at just how darn tooting great the movie turned out to be!

The film itself is built upon a decently cultivated, and genuinely meaningful plot, one that is itself culled from a true story, and it even has a vein of suspense. Some of the dialogue is pretty funny too, but overall the fact that the entire celluloid experience is garnished by the fact that Debbie Warden actually exists, just makes it even more compelling.

A film that even made this old fool cry at the end, trust me when I say that A Sunday Horse is a pure delight of a watch. One for the whole family, I can do no more than warmly recommend it to everyone.
