250:Getting Back On The Horse By Amberley Snyder

The amazing Amberley Snyder is the topic of this episode. Amberley is the second of six children born in California. At the age of seven, Amberley's family relocated to Utah, where she quickly became interested in horses and began barrel racing. She competed in junior rodeo events and kept winning throughout her time in high school. In January 2010, Amberley was involved in a rollover vehicle accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down. She returned to wearing a seatbelt when she rode in a rodeo after eighteen months. In 2018, Netflix released the film Walk Ride Rodeo, that centers on her life. As a keynote speaker, writer, performer, and competitive barrel racer, Amberley shares her story of overcoming hardship in the hopes of motivating others to believe in yourself and get back on the horse.
