Walk Ride Rodeo is an American biopic directed by Conor Allyn from a screenplay by Sean Dwyer and Greg Cope White about the life of Amberley Snyder, a nationally ranked rodeo barrel racer who defies the odds to return to the sport after barely surviving a car accident that leaves her paralyzed from the waist down. It stars Missi Pyle, Spencer Locke, Bailey Chase, and Sherri Shepherd.
Premise
At age 19, nationally-ranked rodeo barrel racer Amberley Snyder barely survives a car accident that leaves her paralyzed from the waist down.
