Born not Made Posts: 2930 Location: North Dakota	If this was talked about already and I missed it, I apologize. But I just stumbled across it on Facebook and I thought it was really neat. So just sharing! Shows you can do anything you put your mind to! And what a good horse. If I were in a wheelchair, I feel like Red would think I were going to eat him! http://youtu.be/LuFH7W6yRuA

Extreme Veteran Posts: 425 Location: GA	Amberly is definitely an inspiration. If you follow her on Facebook, she does "Wheelchair Wednesday" and shows everyone how she does things on her own. (Hauling, tacking up her horses, blanketing, etc.) It's nice to see someone out there like her who keeps a positive attitude and continues following her dreams. Definitely an example all of us can follow.

Sock eating dog owner Posts: 4553 Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah	Her entire family is very close nitted and out going. Amberly had a pretty tough go to start out with as you could imagine and was ready to give up. Several kept telling her to push on. So after several months she and her doctors had a change of heart and her family helped her back into the saddle and searched for a way to secure her while she rode. She is a beautiful young lady inside and out.
