When Amberley Snyder was left paralyzed from the waist down after a tragic accident, she was told she would never walk or ride again.

Fast-forward nine years later, and Amberley Snyder is known as the only paralyzed barrel racer in the country. The inspirational cowgirl has been very open about her journey, using her circumstance as a platform to encourage others and provide hope.
