A SUNDAY HORSE is a story of overcoming impossible odds. And like every true story turned into a movie, Debbi Connor’s actual life is more complex than its film incarnation, filled with more triumphs - and more failures - than can ever make it to the screen in a 90-minute re-telling. The big-screen story, in addition to being set in present time, compresses events and characters, and uses Debi’s maiden name (Walden) in the events. What is not changed is the timeless and universal story of the underdog pursuing her dreams against all odds.

From her farm in Ocala, Florida, she is a show ring rider, buys and sells horses, and has trained horses and riders in all parts of the world. She still competes in 12-20 events a year - and wins her share. In fact, on one weekend during the film’s shooting at the Atlanta International Horse Park, Debi competed and won the blue ribbon in her class..
