Walk. Ride. Rodeo. is an inspiring 2019 biographical drama that follows the true story of Amberley Snyder. The film focuses on her inner strength, determination, and passion for horseback riding following a tragic car accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down.

On her way to the event, she is involved in a serious car accident in which she is thrown from the vehicle. Due to a spinal cord injury, she is left paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair.

In the hospital and during a six-week rehabilitation program, Amberley comes to terms with her loss of mobility. At first, she is desperate and unable to accept her new reality, but she gradually strengthens her upper body, learns to drive again, and looks for ways to return to the horses.
