THIS MOVIE IS BASED ON AN AWESOME TRUE STORY .
REAL
Time in the hallway felt like a lifetime.
This is where my ritual begins.
RODEO LITTLE BRITCHES
Thinking of my speed, what it takes to achieve,
and how to feel it.
Coordinating Strengths with Myself.
Connected.
Some of the riders ignored all the noise in the arena,
hear only their own breath and the breath of their horses.
I?
I heard everything.
And now, entering the arena for the national Little Britches final,
this young lady is already close to victory
in the first round for all categories.
Towards legend status,
Amberley Snyder.
We certainly can.
You gotta run fast from the hallway,
Drive as fast as you can before crossing the sign.
Fast!
Standard barrel pattern. Eighteen meters to the first barrel.
That's the most important barrel.
You have to hurry, calm down.
27 meters to the second barrel. The audience cheered me on.
32 meters to the third barrel.
Come on! Faster!
Do the final sprint, head for the hallway.
You and your horse are trying your best.
Your feet push his feet.
Come on, dear!
Faster! Faster! Here he is!
Skip the sign.
Time to determine the winner. Get a prize or go home with a loss.
Only failure in your mind.
That speed will make it easier. No one can catch up to him.
Now we have a new champion Little Britches,
Amberley Snyder.
Yes, honey!
That's my daughter.
The time is 17.5 seconds,
only a tenth of his best performance .
Good baby.
tenth. I should have pushed him harder.
Oh, you won. You got a gift.
Could be faster in the second barrel.
Am.
Mom, I'm not fast enough to be professional.
Yes, but can we enjoy this for a bit?
Grab your saddle and congratulate Autumn. Your brother won too.
Oh, I won!
Yes! Come here, little Champion!
Can I enter Power?
- You deserve it. - Yes!

Yes, we can shorten the time.
He has to focus. Have to direct it.
Not a first for me.
Need to push it more from behind.
- Use your feet. - Okay ma'am.
Smart horse.
Are you sure you can leave it?
Mother.
You guys work well together.
Thank you.
That's enough.
Mamacita, I've only worked for two weeks at the National Western Stock Show.
I need that money for a pro license.
Hey, you're so tight in the last barrel.
Keep it when you get back.
Okay.
Remember, I'm counting on you.
We have a leadership conference.
This is important. Future Farmers of America...
Amberley, the world could go round without you.
Just two weeks.
- Emmy, this is our chance to get a scholarship. - Scholarship.
I know. Southern Utah.
By the way, are you still going?
Should I find a new roommate?
I can rodeo and go to school.
You're rarely home.
You missed your brother's rodeo, all your brother's games.
- True. - Yes,
Why do I take care of you and you don't return the favor?
My three strokes were successful last week.
What? No.
You won't know.
Really?
Found out!
Just use Mom's truck. This old F-150 is hard to drive.
What? I love my truck. I drove it all over Utah.
It didn't make Mom like him.
What if you take me to Denver, and then you get back on the plane?
I drive. Point.
Mama...
'Appointment...
I've been doing this my whole life.
I could ride a horse before I could walk.
If it goes well, we have a chance to be the Starter of the Year.
It could even appear on The American.
Mom knows that.
I know you can't be stopped.
This is Dad. Hi!
- How about Hawaii? - Good.
How's the team?
Is struggling.
Can't go out and hit the ball for them.
Managing is different from playing, huh?
Right.
Riding the Power once more before you leave?
I know that.
- Miss me? - Hey.
You are always in Father's heart.
Daddy's coming home next month.
I know.
I love Dad.
Dad too.
What are our rules?
Hard work beats talent if talent does not work hard.
That's just Dad's daughter.
Let Mom brush Power, cage him, then you can go.
No, I want to ride it.
Well.
Okay...
send a message if you stop by for gas and a bite to eat.
Call Mom when you arrive at the hotel.
- Call when you wake up in the morning. - 'Cita, calm down.
Yes. But Mother's daughter is all grown up and...
Mama Bear couldn't handle it.
I love mom.
Come on, Power. You and me.
GPS signal is lost.
Help!
Good grief!
Call 911.
We're on I-80 east of Rawlins.
You have to get here quickly.
What happened?
Trukku berguling.
I was thrown.
I have to try to stand up.
No, don't move.
Hey, cari koper abu-abuku.
My arms are tired. I have to lean.
I'll be right back.
There is a blue blanket on the front seat.
- Can you take it? - Certain.
Calm. I'll put it down.
Slowly. Already.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
I need your phone.
It's in the car.
Jane, bring your cell phone.
Hey, is this your phone?
- Thank you. - Hot.
Watch the wire.
Okay.

There's a wound on your forehead.
Come here.
Do not move.
Yes.
I have to call my father.
Hey, Am.
I had an accident.
How bad is it?
My truck overturned.
This is bad.
Are you okay?
I don't know, Dad.
What do you mean?
I can't feel my feet.
Everything will be fine.
Yeah, call Mom and tell her, okay?
Sorry.
It's okay.
You're still alive. Talk to Dad.
Miss, I want you to put down the phone
and focus on me. You can call him later.
Dad, the paramedics are here, all right.
Let me talk to them.
I love Dad.
This is my father.
How is it?
Sir, your daughter is awake and alert at this time.
That's all I can say.
We're taking him to the Carbon County Memorial Hospital in Rawlins.
I will solidify your position and pull you,
So stay calm and don't move.
Here he is.
Never broke a bone,
never been hospitalized, and had an IV drip.
You will go through it all.
I'll pull you up, okay?
One two Three.
Father?
Give the phone to Mom.
- Dad, what's wrong? - Give it to Mom.
Well.
Mom, it's Dad!
Hey.
It's about Am.
What?
He had an accident.

I'm going to the hospital in Rawlins.
- Mom has to go. - I haven't changed clothes yet.
I don't even wear shoes.
Mom wants to change clothes.
Mom will ...
Mom will call Stacey. He had to come.
I want you to stay and take care of the family, okay?
You stay here.

Thanks for this, Stacey.
Tina, you are my family. Anything you need, I'm here.
Am messaged me this morning.
It must have been before...
I didn't even reply.
I didn't say I loved him.
I have to meet him.
Hey, this is Bill.
I'm here.
You're great.
I'm scared.
I know.
I'll accompany you on the plane to Casper.
Do not worry.
Wait. What's that...

WYOMING MEDICAL CENTER, CASPER, WYOMING
Could you help me?
- I'm looking for my daughter. - Mom!
Hi. I'm looking for Amberley Snyder. I'm his mother.
He just had surgery. The doctor will let you know.
- Dr. Patel? - Bu Snyder?
- How is it? - We've tried.
We had to open the spine and attach two titanium pens
to keep the body stable.
Have you taken care of him?
Mrs. Snyder, your daughter's T12 spine is broken,
causing severe spinal cord injury. We connect as best we can.
I don't understand what you mean.
It seems that the spinal cord is not completely injured.
So, still intact?
Miss Snyder, even with that,
he will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
You don't know Am. You don't know him, so...
Miss Snyder, the paralysis is permanent.
Can you stop and take me to him?
- Take me to my daughter. - Yes, this way.
If you need anything, we're outside.
Okay.
Hi darling.
Sorry mom took so long to get here.
Lord, please heal my son.
Please. Please my son.
Mom loves you.
Dear.
Hi darling.
Hi darling. Mother is here.
Mom loves you very much.
Cory, it's Christmas Eve,
the kids opened the presents inside, and we missed it.
Yes, Dad, and it's cold.
Cold is not good for horses. They must be warmed.
- They rode this morning. - Very?
Even this champ?
Father!
Hi.
- Thank you, Billy. Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Calm!
She is very enthusiastic.
Great horse for little girls.
She is no ordinary little girl.
Very strong.
"Power".
That's your name,
Power.
You and me.
We will definitely win.
Honey, Mom is here.
- Forgive me. - No.
It's okay, honey.
Mom takes care of you, honey.
- Sorry. - No, honey.
Mother takes care of you. Look at you. You're awake.
I'm glad to see you.
Dad is coming. Everyone can't wait to see you.
My feet?
Dear.
My feet?
Mother?
Sorry dear. You're paralyzed.
I'm sorry.
Mom knows. I'm sorry Mom.
Everything will be fine. Mother promise.
- No! - I know. I'm sorry.
No!
Sorry.
Hey.
It's okay.
How is it?
Finally he fell asleep.
- My child? - I messed up.
Out here, I'm screwed.
We have to be tough on the inside, but...
Who knows. This is very difficult.
I got a call from the insurance company.
They said Am's operation was done...
Good. Now he can be rehabilitated.
Except, he could only be carried by air.
They don't want to pay for flights to Provo.
Seriously.
It costs $25,000 and I don't play for the Dodgers.
It's impossible here.
That's six weeks of rehab. He must be with his family.
We'll think about it later.
Okay.
Hey.
You have guests.
I'm not in the mood to chat.
What did the doctor say?
They don't know what or who to deal with.
Father!
My body is full of steel. Daddy won't hurt me.
She's great.
Strong. Very strong.
He has a passion that I don't have.
Looks like the girls didn't give up until they entered the NFR.
National Finals? He goes to college in the fall.
He knows that?
Will you train me?
We start Saturday morning. Come at 07.00.
If it's late, there's no practice.
PVU PROVO AIRPORT , UTAH
Everyone came to see you.
Mom, I can't. I am very tired.
Take me away from here.
Cory, who are they?
They cheered Am.
And guess what.
The MLB Player Assistance Team donated to pay for the plane.
That was in the news yesterday.
That's amazing, but ...
Am can't face it. I have to take him to the hospital.
Say thank you.
Dad will take care of it.
Ma'am, we're ready.
You're a good man, Cory Snyder.
I always say that.
Ready to go, Mike.
PROVO REHABILITATION , UTAH
Later.
No, honey, we have to rotate every two hours,
or will have pressure sores, and we don't want that.
Our?
People need to turn you around too?
Go ahead.
Just show me how.
No, what should I do if I teach you my job?
I'm here all the time. I can lift 100 bales of hay.
This can be handled.
Mother has to take care of the horses.
No, everyone helped.
You don't have to stay here.
Hey.
Mom won't go.
Just accept it. You're stuck with Mom.
Mother and daughter are very similar.
What's that?
Learn to like the chair.
That's your freedom.
I'll check back later.
We will stop bothering you.
We need lunch.
Blessings abound, son.
Sometimes, it's a little hard to see.
Come on, Am! Continue! Fast!
Use your feet, Am!
Come on!
Fast!
Come on!
17.6 seconds.
Amberley Snyder took second place. Give a round of applause.
Dad, he almost won.
Let me talk to him.
You have a lot of work.
Second place, first loser.
Next time should be better.
We should have beat that time. Power makes it difficult for me.
There is no reason.
If you want to be the best,
second position is not enough.
He knows it.
Okay.
So, the first step here,
we want to build strength and balance.
Lock the wheelchair.
Go ahead and lift your legs.
There are several things that help speed up our work,
focus and purpose.
Start easy. What are the hopes for you?
Easy. Street. riding. Rodeo.
Okay.
Very fast.
My daughter is unbearable.
No, a very ambitious goal.
I like challenges. Well.
We will do the standing position.
Hold the bar with both hands.
Use your upper body strength to stand up.
First, I'll be dominant, won't I?
I'm holding you.
- Understand? - Well.
Okay.
So, on the count of three, we're going to try,
and make you stand.
Ready?
One two Three.
Good.
You stand up.
How do you feel?
This,
Diego touched my ass.
No, it's your hips. I hold your hips.
Diego, you're touching my daughter's ass.
Ma'am, this is part of...
I get the meaning. You guys are funny.
I'll drop you off. Come on.
Very good.
Well. This time,
you are dominant.
You may find it difficult to stand up, but that's okay.
We just want to build upper body strength.
Okay, like before. Do it on a count of three.
Deploy all your energy. Ready?
One two Three.
Yes, try to stand up. Come on.
Push. Very good.
You can. Yes!
Hey.
We'll make small progress every day, won't we?
Come on... Hold on.
We do it together. You have to wait for me.
Come on.
All right, on the count of three.
One two Three.
Daughter. Turun.
Get down. All right.
That's good.
Very good.
One two Three.
Let's go. Push.
Good. You can. Continue.
Come on.
- Yes, push! - Mother.
Drop it. Perfect.
Enough.
He did well. You want to stop?
Yes, that's enough.
Okay.
- Close the door. - Yes dear.
Sorry, honey. It's okay.
Your father prepared everything at home.
He even installed a special lift in the kitchen.
Autumn can't wait to see you. Everything is so.
Good.
Before I forget, this kid, Tate Watkins, keeps emailing.
You have an FFA speech scheduled for the end of next month.
I have to cancel. I can not.
Yes. That's what Mom told her.
But he's funny. He wants you to come.
He said he would reschedule once you get better.
When will I get better?
I don't want to go in a wheelchair.
Hey! Look who's coming.
- Get rid of it. - Well.
Hi.
- Hey, everyone. - Hey.
Dad invited Taylor and Aubrey.
Yes, they'll be here in 15 minutes.
So, who's riding the Power?
I.
Has he dropped you?
I already told him.
I rode back.
Good.
Come here.
You sure can.
Okay, the point is technique.
Hold the wheel circumference as far as possible without burdening your shoulders.
When starting, can use help,
- hold the wheel and the circumference. - Well.
I understand. Come on.
Okay.
Okay, watch me.
Like that...
way of rotating.
Okay.
That's sad.
Really? Can you do better?
- Are you challenging me? - Yes.
Please.
- Has begun. - Show him, Am.
Am!
Oh! You can!
Yes, you can.
- I could. - Can.
- I could. - I'm holding you. No problem. Take it off.
I could.
Hey, with practice.
The point is not just hands, but balance as well.
During this time your feet keep your balance.
If you can do it yourself,
You will feel that what used to be easy is now difficult.
No problem. That's what we're going to fix.
Diego said you canceled therapy.
This,
I spent my 19th birthday here...
like this. What is the point?
Hear...
this takes time.
I've been stuck in that chair my whole life.
Mother knows. I understand.
I don't understand.
I'm sick of you feeling sorry for yourself.
How long will it take you and Power to cross the barrel?
- That's different! - No!
Now, come on up. You're going to therapy.
See you there.
What are you doing here?
Diego says you're having trouble with balance.
Remember your best balance?
Happy birthday, kid.
We know you're great in the saddle.
You learn balance there.
This makes sense.
So, what's the plan?
If you can't ride anymore, let it go.
But not because you didn't try.
One two Three. Yes.
Okay.
Shift. Good.
It feels weird.
Well. Straighten your body.
Can your upper body be balanced?
Yes?
Feel your stomach.
Trust your instincts.
You can.
I will let you go.
Find your balance.
THREE WEEKS LATER
When I come back, put those shoes on.
Go out!
Good grief.
You should be glad it missed.
Hey, Happy.
That's Tuck Morgan, right?
Yes.
The boy tested my last patience.
He came in last week.
Serious car accident.
I heard about him.
He's a bull rider.
Yes!
Grumpy bull rider.
He didn't want to start therapy.
Don't want to talk to anyone.
I understand.
I know you understand.
Tuck, isn't it?
Go out.
I'm Amberley.
How are you?
Well.
I used to say, "Fine."
But actually not good.
I know it's not good. I mean...
I know.
The doctors came.
That nurse, my family,
all they want to hear is I'm fine.
But ...
deep down, I know it's so messed up.
My future...
quite gloomy.
No one can understand.
My life is over.
It's over.
I used to feel that way.
I can't help it anymore.
That is not me.
I used to saddle my horse and ride all day.
Nothing can stop me.
I got better once I started therapy.
- I do not want. - I'm not forcing you.
But it can help.
That helped me a lot.
You still can't walk.
Probably not.
But this way.
I will ride the horse again.
That's crazy.
You know what's crazy?
Eight seconds of riding a bull, but...
you already did.
Have you prepared money for the lottery? We will win this time.
Felice!
It's the day.
You've been troublesome enough.
I will miss you too.
Hope you are excited.
Honey, this is a blessing for me.
Go home and claim your victory.
Felice, thank you. We can't do this without you.
Hey.
Looks like I passed.
The buffer must not be wet.
Remember, standing is your greatest threat.
- Grab that momentum. Go up to... - Yes.
Diego, you're amazing.
You too.
Listen, out there ...
whatever your life situation...
give more.
You know that.
See you soon, Amberley.
Tuck.
Are you ready?
Let's just talk about what you want to do.
If we have a goal, you can keep imagining it,
you can stay focused.
My house is my palace.
Mom, I'm not ready for this.
Nobody, right?
Only your father. Ashley took everyone out to dinner.
Welcome home, son.
- Want to take that chair? - Yes.
Okay.
Put this first.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
Okay.
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ON MY HORSE BACK
From: Tate Watkins Reply: In News
Hey, this is Tate Watkins from the FFA.
You don't know, but if you want to know me.
Or discuss events. Phone. SMS. FaceTime.
Mom will pick up Aubrey from the dance studio.
Here he is.
Can you do it yourself?
I can't go far.
Amberley...
I am fine.
Mother will come home soon.
Hey, guys.
Remember me?
Hey, Lacey.
You miss me?
Hei, Power.
You miss me?
Power, come here.
Sorry.
If only I could saddle up and ride you.
Hey. This is Tina Snyder.
Please leave a message and have a blessed day.
Hey, Mom, I want to know when you're coming home.
Call me.
Mother!
Hei, Bu!
Mom, look!
Hei, Bu!
Mother!
See. Mother's plan worked. Leave the horse outside.
Mom knew she couldn't help herself.
Sorry.
I wave to Mom.
I'm stuck. Mom don't know?
I'm glad to see you with the horse.
I don't know.
Do not bother me.
Mom can't.
Your Mamacita Mother,
and I'm not going anywhere.
I'll be here until you can get there yourself.
Can you promise me one thing?
Whatever that is.
I will ride again.
Even if I have to tie you to the saddle.
FOUR WEEKS LATER
You and me.
Are you ready?
Are you seriously asking that?
All right, here it is.
- Yes, Amberley! - Come on, Am.
How does it feel, Am?
Well.
- Yes, Am! - You can!
You can!
Stop!
What is it? Don't want to enter the arena?
No.
Take me in.
Hey, you gotta give it a chance.
It will never be the same.
I know it got here.
I can't do anything.
- Am... - Put me down.
Okay, that's enough for today.
I want to see you riding again.
Maybe next time.
You know it's the first time out, right?
Yes.
When I see you,
I still see the girl I knew before the accident.
I am different.
No.
Not in your heart.
The Amberley I know won't give up until she does her best.
You can't understand.
Nothing can.
I love you.
He never met his horses.
Autumn, give him some time.
Until then, these horses will not be able to clean themselves.
Hey, wait.
Come on. Take the wheelbarrow.
From: Tate Watkins Reply: In News
Amberley, it's me again from FFA.
Still want you at the conference later. Call me day or night.
Halo?
Why don't you stop bothering me?
What?
Tate, good morning. Amberley Snyder.
I woke you up?
It is okay. I'm awake.
Stop emailing me.
I don't know you and stop reminding me things I can't.
I don't want to go.
Slowly. Let's talk.
I did the rodeo too.
Yes? What branch?
Bronc Saddle Rider.
Third position in our regional standings.
It was incredible.
You crazy Bronc riders.
No, just stubborn.
Before, every time I rode a horse,
it feels like the most natural thing in the world.
Like breathing.
Now it's gone.
I can't do one thing I like.
Maybe you could do something other than rodeo.
Rodeo is not my job.
That is me. As...
Breathe.
I know.
Sorry.
No need to apologize.
I had to find a way to accept this new reality.
But ...
- Maybe we can... - Chat again.
I like it.
Me too.
Um, Daddy's home. Let's get out.
What? No!
Dad, this is crazy.
Doctor says you have to start driving.
It is set by hand control.
But trucks?
What? Mom, I can.
Let me teach you.
I could.
Gas, rem.
I have to go.
Are you sure you don't want us to be friends?
Yes. I love you guys.
Until found.
I could!
SADDLE SHOP
The point is to keep my balance.
Seat belt on the saddle. That's new to me.
I think you can put it behind the backrest.
Can you do it?
Extraordinary.
What?
The seat belt that holds me in this chair.
Maybe that's what set me free.
Hey, man.
I brought something.
Dude,
Come here.
Don't be like that.
Come on. It's me.
I know this is new, but...
Want to try?
Okay, let's do this.
No!
We'll make it.
Yes!
Ready to be my feet?
Sweetest bale of hay I've ever tossed.
Slowly.
That's enough Darling.
Slowly. I'm not used to this belt yet.
'Cita, rest assured.
Pacu Power without a foot signal.
We will.
I put this on and can start practicing again.
Mom talked to Stacey and we had this idea.
Get me ready to race?
You have talent. It was there before you could walk, but...
But what? I can still ride.
Yes, you can train too.
Stacey says she needs you. You can help take care of the kids.
- Autumn is working with him now. - Nice.
I'm not a coach.
Yeah, maybe it's a good solution for...
To give up a rodeo?
Stacey and Autumn need you.
You can upgrade other riders' abilities.
I can't believe this.
Mom says God wants me like this?
No, honey, He wants the best for you.
Why did He give this talent, then take it away?
Why did He give me a mother who doesn't believe in me,
treat me like a cripple?
Am!
Wait. That's not what Mom meant.
Come here.
Autumn.
Hey.
- Bring Lacey. Enter him. - Good.
Am, sorry.
The idea of ​​training is wrong. Mother shouldn't...
Sell ​​my horses.
- You're not serious. - I'm fed up.
This will take time.
If I can't ride anymore, I don't want to anymore.
Do not give up.
My tormented mother can't fix this.
I should have died in that accident.
Don't even try to say that!
I'm grateful every day that you're here.
I know everything is different.
But we have to find a new way to live this.
It's finished?
This chair can be your wings or your anchor.
You decide.
Amberley, hei.
Hey.
Everything is fine?
I wrote an introduction for you.
SMA BOMONT MONTANA
"Presiden FFA,
to Southern Utah,
agricultural education. "
Would you say that?
I rarely do this.
I enter the rodeo, like winning Little Britches.
Yes. Two saddles, the final, and the world.
If I suck, you can cheer me on.
Wait.
What's your plan here?
Good grief. I didn't think about it. Oath!
Do not worry.
Is there an elevator?
Yes, over there.
Tate...
what is it for me?
Yes.
Lily,
my favorite.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
There are some goals that I can't reach right now.
MONTANA BAB FFA
A dream that ...
too big,
horse riding, rodeo.
But you know what?
I seek new goals,
new dreams.
I'm studying in Southern Utah in two weeks.
We can't always choose what happens to us.
but we can choose what to do.
Most importantly, never give up.
Someone once said,
"Whatever the conditions of your life,
give more."
Maybe I majored in chemistry to see...
Ya. Tate ...
Is he your girlfriend?
We're not that far yet.
But you want.
Halo?
Amberley, Jenna Walters dari American Morning.
- Impossible. - Who is that?
Shut up! This is Jenna Walters.
No way!
Look, we want to create your profile.
People want to hear your story
and it says you're back on horseback again.
We think this will be very inspiring for people who are facing difficult situations.
You're riding again, right?
Yes, I can ride a horse for a while.
Perfect.
I'm coming with the crew on Saturday.
- This Saturday? - See you later.
What happened?
You haven't ridden a horse in two months.
The last time,
You said you'd never ride again.
I really miss him.
Are you ready for this?
How about your new dream?
I can't fail now.
NEWS RELEASE 18 KJTU
The doctors asked what my goal was.
I knew right away.
Street. riding. Rodeo.
That's difficult.
Is there a future in rodeos?
Really, only I can decide what I'm capable of.
I have a lot of work.
But,
whatever your living conditions, you have three choices.
You can give up, give up, or try your hardest.
And I think it's about time I did my best.
Thank you, Amberley.
Amazing story. We will watch you.
- Finished. I think it is. - Cool.
Record him riding, will you?
Nice work.
Am great.
I know. This is crazy.
Jenna Walters is sitting in our barn.
They're going to finish, he's going to ride Power, and I'm a little scared...
Yes, Cory, I promise. I won't forget to breathe.
- Amberley, you can. - Good.
Come on, Am!
Are you ready, Am?
Hey, stay close.
You and me.
I can't command you with my feet anymore.
Listen to my voice.
Just go around once. Slowly.
Do not miss this.
You can, Am. Continue.
- Come on, Am! - Proceed!
Good grief!
Come on, Am!
Proceed!
Mom, he behaves like a prince.
Look at that.
Come on, Am. Proceed.
RODEO SPANISH FORK SPANISH FORK, UTAH

I'm Tate, Tate Watkins.
Youth from Montana?
We'll get acquainted.
Excuse me. Okay.
What if he falls and gets hurt?
Hey, I'm stressed too.
Sorry. I have to say it.
Am here to practice, see his abilities.
Yes, he will look good.
Is he ready?
Let him decide.
- He's trying hard. - Yes.
I think you have no heart.
Let your handicapped son ride.
Disabled?
How desperate.
What kind of mother are you?
Do you know?
- I'll show you what kind of mother I am. - Already.
No one asked your opinion.
Yes. No one asked.
- It's none of your business... - Never mind.
Next, there is reappearance.
A few months after the accident...
I still can't believe this.
...ready to race for the first time, Amberley Snyder with Power.
- Amberley! - Come on, dear!
Yes!
Who's that?
Young man from Montana.
Hey, man,
they said we wouldn't come back here.
They are wrong.
17.6 seconds. Good enough for second place.
So tight!
Amberley Snyder, one more round of applause.
Amberley is amazing!
Yes!
Second place, not first loser?
No!
It was like... I don't know.
It's the best feeling.
Yes!
Good!
Ashley treats them pizza.
Will be back in an hour.
Dear Tina ...
what is it?
Sorry.
I should be happy. It is just...
Day...
He is still alive,
is here, and back on horseback.
Our daughter is back.
Then I saw him in the chair.
I can't do anything.
I can't cure it. Can't protect him.
Every time I see it, I'm sad.
I forbade him to take the truck. I stood there with him.
- I let it go. - It's not your fault.
There were many things he couldn't do.
He wouldn't be able to walk the altar.
Won't be able to run away with the kids.
- He won't have the same chance... - He has you.
Whatever happens.
Anything can happen.
Mom knows I can run faster.
Mom knows, but do the rodeo one by one.
Hey, Am.
Stacey!
How's the action?
Like a winner.
Still in the healing process, but it will.
There's word from Andrea Busby at Busby Quarter Horses.
They want to make you a Fan Favorite Participant
at The American this year.
No way!
It was incredible.
It's hard, but they follow your story,
and want to start it for you.
Power, did you hear that? The Americans!
'Appointment?
Power ready. I don't know how about you.
The American is big.
We have a job.
RODEO BATTLE MOUNTAIN RENO, NEVADA
Extraordinary!
Less than a year after the truck crash,
Amberley Snyder returned with a time of 17.7 seconds.
This female cowboy continues to amaze.
She's a Fan Favorite Participant on The American,
and he showed me why.
17.5 seconds.
First place finish by Amberley Snyder!
RODEO ROCKY MOUNTAIN
I do not believe.
17.42 seconds for Amberley Snyder.
Look at this girl in action.
The American must give it a chance. Extraordinary.
Give this lady a standing ovation.
BEST RODEO IN THE WEST
He passed the second barrel.
This is very...
The barrel fell.
He will get a five second penalty.
The time is 22.7 seconds.
Amberley Snyder is out of our top five riders.
Hey.
- It was a little difficult. - Yes.
You must prepare Power for the regional rodeo in Pocatello.
We have to hurry if we want to go to The American.
We'll take you.
Ready?
Already.
Thank you.
What's in your pants?
I must be sitting on something.
Slowly.
Okay, who's next?
That's the last resort unless you want to ride a donkey.
I don't know why.
I don't know why, but you're acting weird.
Mom will come in and make you a protein smoothie.
You have to take care of yourself.
Stack your load.
Mother holds you.
Okay.
Already.
The horses are hungry. Come on.
See you inside, huh?
Mom, I feel less...
Amberley!
Dear.
Come here. All right.
- What should I do? - JC, get the keys.
Autumn, open that door.
The infection is severe.
There is a softball -sized wound that reaches the bone.
This is very critical
life threatening.
If you wait two more days,
you can die.
My son is dying in front of me and I don't know it?
He's been given an antibiotic infusion.
but he had to be operated on.
No, there are two rodeos this weekend and a show at The American.
Are you kidding?
This infection will kill you if we don't treat it now.
You need intensive wound care and long-term antibiotics.
You can't ride a horse.
What? I do not want.
Can I talk to my daughter alone?
Good luck.
You want to die?
Say it and you will be ready to bury your child because of this...
I can't go through this anymore. Will not.
Mother is not strong.
If you want to kill yourself,
put Mom next to your coffin.
I don't want to die.
Why didn't you tell me?
Don't make me stop!
You need to know your limits.
No! It will be gone!
What do you mean?
My legs are paralyzed.
Everything changed in an instant.
Then I was myself again. I'm riding.
I'm scared
if I tell Mother,
if you know, all will be lost.
Forgive me.
It's okay, son.
It's fine. Come here.
SIX WEEKS LATER
One turkey sandwich, cheddar cheese and no crust.
- Thank you. - For you.
Only for Amberley.
Lots of fan letters.
Some go beyond online.
"I'm 10 years old and live in San Antonio, Texas.
I was hit by a car and in a wheelchair like you.
I feel like giving up, but I see your efforts,
and makes me want to try harder.
I can do great things too. Your fan, Brittany Carlson."
What do you want me to do?
There are many other messages like that.
Am, maybe you can help them.
Let me see.
Yes!
We're at The American.
We're going to The American.
The American!
Come on. Over here.
Come on.
I have to ride with Mom.
No, you're getting on a plane tomorrow. Mother is quite restless.
I'll make sure he gets to the airport.
Good thing there is Legacy. Power needs a companion on the way.
Your preparation is lacking.
You've only entered the competition three times.
We've already discussed this. I am healthy.
Tina, we'll test her before she leaves.
We will practice in Texas.
We have three days.
I'm so excited.
See you in Texas.
WELCOME TO TEXAS LONE STAR STATE
Hey, Am.
I am better?
This is worse.
Snow is falling. Mother has to spend the night.
Sorry dear. I know you need practice.
Good. Take care of yourself Mom.
See you tomorrow night. Love Mother.
Mom loves you too. See you later.
STADION AT&T
Good grief!
How about Power?
She is fine.
This must be pursued.
I have one more day.
Mom, if I fail here,
at The American, in front of thousands of people,
I will remember forever.
Am, Mom is very anxious.
You know I can't give up.
'Cita, what?
Mom just thought.
I remember the first time I saw you riding.
Really riding a horse.
You're probably ten years old.
Mom watched you and was jealous.
What a natural talent.
Now...
You were here after the accident...
Honey, look at your progress.
Isn't that enough?
If I decide to do it,
try my best ...
Mom will support you.
Always.
Tate.
What are you doing here? I think you have to work.
Yes. My friend Justin is in a group lasso competition.
I help take care of the horse.
Why didn't you tell me?
Where's the fun part next?
You are crazy? I won't miss this.
Hey.
I have to drop you off to have Casey and Ryan checked.
Hey, Tate.
Bu Snyder ...
can i go
Of course. Let me help.
Get down here.
You can put me down now.
Can not.
I can do that all day.
Tate, thank you.
What for?
You're the first person to make me feel like I'm not using this chair.
Fine, I have to drop you off.
TV RFD THE AMERICAN
Welcome to The American TV RFD,
richest one day rodeo in the world.
At the end of the competition,
The toughest competitors in the world will fight
to be the best of the best.
Can't go back anymore.
Mother.
None of these...
Nothing can happen without Mother.
Mom knows.
I'm proud of you, Am.
Look where you are now.
Mother believe this?
Your leg function may be lost...
but it opens your heart.
I love mom.
Mom loves you. Are you ready?
Let's do this.
Remember. The point is not to win.
But you are here riding this horse.
Can you talk a little about winning?
Race like the wind.
So the best of them.
- Hi. I'm Tate. - Nice to meet you.
That's my boyfriend.
He can. I panicked, but...
Come on, Am!
Calm.
You are okay.
It's just a bigger crowd,
but just like we usually do.
Listen to that.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Fan Favorites will appear.
He overcame tremendous difficulties to be here.
She's got a heart as big as Texas,
Amberley Snyder.
Come on, Amberley!
Yes! Fight!
Power, you and me.
Attitude is the little thing that makes a big difference.
I realized that maybe I couldn't control every situation in my life.
Maybe I can't make all the decisions.
But when I wake up in the morning, I have to make up my mind.
It's our day.
If that was the only decision I made that day...
I have to make it a good decision.
Because with the right attitude,
who knows what you could achieve?
Yes!
So tight! 15,369 seconds.
I can't believe what I saw. It was incredible.
That puts Amberley Snyder in the ranks of the best rodeo players.
When the doctor asked me what my goal was,
I said, "Walk. Horseback. Rodeo."
I did the last two things.
The first...
Maybe someday.
...around the second barrel. It's perfect.
Three perfect rounds.
