A Sunday Horse (2016)

In the heart of the American equestrian world, a tale of courage, perseverance, and passion unfolds. Debi Walden (Nikki Reed), a former junior horse jumping sensation, now finds her glory days reduced to a life of hard labor on a ranch, mired in the daily grind of mucking out stalls and menial chores. Her talent, however, refuses to remain dormant. When a stroke of fate offers her a chance to showcase her exceptional riding skills, she seizes the opportunity, reigniting her professional aspirations. As she steps back into the competitive landscape, she encounters scorn and skepticism. Elysse Dumar (Cassi Thomson), a rival from the elite equestrian circles, derides her ambitions, suggesting she's better suited to the stables than the racecourse. Even her father tries to rein in her dreams, fearing for her safety. Undeterred by the naysayers, Debi's indomitable spirit fuels her determination to prove them wrong. With the support of a motley crew of believers, including Jonathan (Ryan Merriman) and Mr. Valentine (Ving Rhames), she embarks on her journey towards redemption, winning races and slowly regaining her lost stature. However, adversity strikes when she suffers a horrific fall from her horse during a practice session, leaving her in a coma for 10 days. Waking up with paralysis on her left side and her ability to walk snatched away, her future seems shrouded in uncertainty. A Sunday Horse portrays the story of a tenacious rider from the wrong side of the tracks, who, after a near-fatal accident with a horse deemed unremarkable by experts, dares to defy the odds. Her dream? To reclaim her place in the sun and clinch a national jumping championship. Will Debi's spirit triumph over her physical setbacks, or will her dreams be forever tethered to the confines of her past? The film invites you to saddle up for an inspiring ride that tests the very limits of hope and human resilience.
