Amberley Snyder

Amberley was born in California as the second to six children. Amberley fell in love with horses at a young age and began barrel racing when her family moved to Utah when she was seven years old. She competed in junior rodeos and up into high school, winning multiple titles and awards. Her senior year she finished as the National Little Britches World All Around Cowgirl. Amberley served as Utah’s Future Farmers of America (FFA) State President in 2009.

In January 2010, Amberley was involved in a rollover motor vehicle accident, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Eighteen months after that day, with a seatbelt on her saddle, she returned to competing in rodeo. She now competes in the Women's Professional Rodeo Association in the barrel racing. Amberley has earned her place competing amongst professional barrel racers and has won multiple awards with the Cowboy and Cowgirl Hall of Fames. In 2018, Netflix released a movie based on her life titled "Walk Ride Rodeo" where Amberley was her own stunt double for the film. Amberley shares her story of triumph over tragedy hoping she can motivate others to believe in themselves and ‘get back on the horse’.
