Amberley Snyder (born January 29, 1991) is an American Professional rodeo cowgirl who specializes in barrel racing.
[4] On January 10, 2010, Snyder was driving from Utah to the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado, and did not fasten her seat belt after a gas station stop in Rawlins, Wyoming.
Less than 10 miles from the gas station, she looked down to check her map, drifted into the other lane, over-corrected, and her truck slid off the road and rolled seven times.
[7] She transferred from Snow College to Utah State University where she was captain of the school's National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association team.
[12] Snyder works as a motivational speaker,[6] and posts a weekly "Wheelchair Wednesday" video on social media to showcase everyday tasks that have become more challenging.
