AMBERLEY SNYDER
A professional barrel racer, Snyder was paralyzed in 2010 at the age of 18 when her truck slid off the highway, ejecting her from the vehicle and slamming her into a fence post that broke her back. Four months later, thanks to unwavering determination and a competitive spirit, she was back on her horse. Since then, she has faced countless challenges and adversity, but has continued to achieve her goals, including earning her Women’s Professional Rodeo Association card in 2017. Outside the arena, Snyder shares her inspiring story through powerful public speaking engagements at events and in schools. Netflix recently released a movie about Snyder titled “Walk. Ride. Rodeo.” Snyder appears in the film as a stuntdouble with her horse, Power.
