Tate Watkins & Amberley Snyder Wiki, and Bio

Amberley Snyder is a living character—whose struggle, obstacles and consistency to bounce back became international attention when her real-life accounts got translated to film and moved the audience.

The movie is named, ‘Walk. Ride. Rodeo’ and is streaming on Netflix since March 8. But, who actually is Amberley Snyder? What’s her story?

Amberley Snyder is a barrel racer and now a stunt double, who is seen performing the rodeo scene in her biopic, ‘Walk. Ride. Rodeo’. She was 18-year-old and on her way of becoming a professional rodeo with already the world championship under her belt, when her life took a dramatic turn.

In early January 2010, she met severe vehicle accident that throws Amberley out of her truck, hitting a fence post. Highly injured Snyder was immediately rushed to the hospital. Told by the doctors, she will never be able to walk again as the cursed T12 vertebra left her without sensation or mobility waist down, but Amberley didn’t that daunt her from achieving her rodeo goals.

Refusing to give up on her riding dreams despite becoming paralyzed below the waist, she decided to fight her way back into the competition barrel racing. Unlikely as it may seem, just within four months of accident Amberley was back in the saddle, rebuilding balance and working her way through.
