  • AMBERLEY SNYDER “America’S Cowgirl Amberley Snyder -Two Feet Move Your Body, Four Feet Move Your Soul”
    AMBERLEY SNYDER “America’s Cowgirl Amberley Snyder -Two feet move your body, four feet move your soul” Categorie Personal development Type Bedrijfscoach | Trainer, Keynote speaker Inzetbaarheid Keynote spreker, Coach / Trainer, Workshops Talen EN Afkomstig van USA Biografie Amberley Snyder is a rodeo competitor and motivational speaker who has fought her way back from adversity. She competed as the fan exemption in the world’s richest one-day rodeo, RFDTV’s The American. Amberley is inspiring all to Get Back on the Horse. Amberley Snyder was born in January of 1991 in southern California. Amberley and her five siblings lived there during her dad’s Major League Baseball career with the Los Angeles Dodgers. At the age of three, Amberley began riding lessons and developed an unyielding passion for horses. After her dad’s retirement from baseball, the family moved to Utah. Amberley was seven years old and would only comply if she was promised a barrel racing horse when she got there, she got her wish, and that was the beginning of Amberley’s rodeo career. 1 / 3 Growing up, Amberley’s family environment was very competitive. Her siblings participated in everything from sports to gymnastics, but Amberley found her niche in rodeo. From a young age Amberley had a great sense of communication with her horses and connected with them on a very personal level. Her mom really had a hand in cultivating her passion, and before long she was competing in barrel racing, pole bending, breakaway roping, and goat tying. In 2009, she qualified for the National High School Finals in the pole bending and won the National Little Britches Rodeo Association All- Around Cowgirl World Championship.
