Thank you Amberley Snyder for taking some time out to be on our podcast, Where Rodeo Meets the road. Amberley has always been a tough competitor. Winning the world title for National Little Britches. Her toughest battle was ahead of her. After five hours of emergency surgery the doctor’s prognosis was she would never regain use or feeling below her waist. He told her if she had worn her seatbelt, she would still have use of her legs. The one mistake she made that day changed her life forever, but it has not defeated her competitive spirit. The top priority for Amberley was not even to walk, but to ride her horses again. Remarkably after only 4 months after the accident, she was back on her horse. In 2015, Amberley was voted the fan exemption contestant at the world’s richest one day rodeo, comparable to the Super Bowl, RFD-TV’s The American.  She competed with the best in the industry and was just 0.6 seconds short of the winning time and received a standing ovation from over 40,000 fans in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.  Always a competitor, Amberley qualified for her first Pro Rodeo Wilderness Circuit Finals in 2021.  She continues to compete as a professional athlete and has become one of the most sought-after social influencers and motivational speakers in western sports.
