The Woman Behind Netflix’s True Story Walk. Ride. Rodeo. | Amberley Snyder | Victortheinspiration

from Become the Victor Podcast

In today’s episode, I sit down with Amberley Snyder, who shares the real story behind her journey as a champion barrel racer, keynote speaker, author, and the inspiration behind the Netflix film Walk. Ride. Rodeo. Amberley talks about the 2010 accident that broke her back and injured her spinal cord, the moment she thought she might not survive, and the long process of rebuilding a life that still included horses, competition, faith, love, and purpose.Amberley highlights how family, faith, and horses became the three things that helped pull her through. She reflects on getting back on a horse just four months after the accident, returning to competition 18 months later, and becoming the only professional paralyzed barrel racer in the United States. She also shares what people often miss about strength, why bad days are still part of resilience, how her horses understand emotions that people may never see, and what it felt like to watch her life become a movie.Learn More About Their Story:https://victortheinspiration.com/blogs/become-the-victor-podcast/the-woman-behind-netflix-s-true-story-walk-ride-rodeo-amberley-snyderConnect with Amberley Snyder:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amberleysnyder/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/amberley.snyder1/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@amberleysnyder_YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@AmberleySnyderWebsite:https://amberleysnyder.org/Book:https://amberleysnyder.org/walk-ride-rodeo/Become the Victor | Complete Interview Series:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhuwnO_369gsaifZ0YkajPVDpTcN5hoOQChapters:00:00 The Accident That Made Life Start Over01:54 Who Amberley Snyder is Beyond the Movie03:54 The Crash She Still Remembers06:42 Family, Faith, and Horses Pulled Her Through09:38 Why She Wouldn’t Change That Day11:34 Refusing to Let the Wheelchair Decide Her Future14:17 Finding Love and Being Seen Beyond the Chair17:06 How Her Accident Changed Her Family Too20:19 The Private Strength Behind Her Public Comeback26:21 Walk.
