Location: Riding Crackhead. | Because of the split up with her husband and having surgery she said she feels like she's too far behind to try and make it to the NFR so she'll stick with ERA rodeos and stay more at home since she has young horses that need to be worked. She said there would be a chance she could still win enough money but she didn't want to haul Baby Flo 90,000 miles to try it. |

| I have to give props to Fallon. My friends 17 year old daughter is a barrel racer. She has lost the feeling in her left leg and has been in the hospital for 3 weeks. They think it is related to a previous neck injury that happened in August. A face time phone call was arranged with Fallon to lift her spirits. Fallon was great and has called her back several times to check on her. It has really brightened this girls day and kept her motivation high to keep working hard in therapy.

| I give her kudos for the snapchat. I really enjoy watching her on snapchat. I wasn't her biggest fan but I have really started to like her. She is so positive and she allows us to see so much behind the scenes which I really enjoy.
She has already tried to squash the rumors, Babyflo is fine. She is planning on doing more clinics. In fact, you can go on her website and vote for your state. |

| I totally get her decision. I would be reluctant to jump in the truck and try to kill myself and my horse going to 80 rodeos with no guarantees. I have to give her props because you would have never known during the NFR she had just broken up/or was in the process of breaking up with her hubby. She carried on, smiled, posted, signed autographs, made appearances like nothing was happening. I dont know that I could have kept it together like that.

What was said about the break up and being behind for the NFR is what she actually said on her snap chat.

This is right, if you want to believe anything believe this ;) She's also said (as some have already mentioned) that Babyflo is fine and that she (Fallon) isn't pregnant- I thought that was pretty funny how she just outright said it! She mentioned also that next year she will try make it to the NFR if it works out. I love following her on Snapchat! I didn't like her all that much before I started but she is pretty awesome :) |

I can understand it too. She's been to the NFR many times, she has won the world championship, has a successful business which she has been masterful at promoting on social media. She is at a place where she does not have to hit the road to keep from falling off the radar. Her following will continue. She was great commentating, I bet we start seeing more of her in that capacity-she needs to help the ERA guys, lol. |

She is outstanding as a commentator, I'd love to see her in that role at the NFR if she doesn't make it. I don't do snapchat, but I do think that she's done a lot of positive things for our sport overall. To have all of that going on in her personal life and still hold it together publically is admirable. |

She has been taking location requests through her website. There is a button for it, I think. I know I saw on instagram that she said if anyone wanted her to come to their location, then to go to the website. Also to make sure it was an indoor arena with overnight boarding. |

Same here, same price she is hosting a clinic in Helena, MT...I'm hoping I can audit!  Too bad about her marriage breakup and the NFR. But I don't know all the details, as I don't Snapchat. |

Location: Stuck in a cubicle having tropical thoughts | There are still 5 months in the season left to qualify for the NFR. Almost half of the year. There is still Cowboy Christmas and a LOT of big rodeos left that pay big money. As much as her and Flo win, I guess I don't see how she can't still easily get qualified for the NFR??? She's still in the top 50 with $11K in the bank already.
I understand that maybe she wants a bit of a break from the road and to do some other things and probably time to heal from the breakup, but if she wanted to make an NFR run, with her horsepower, there is no reason she doesn't still have enough time.
Either way, it's her choice.

She stated she normally has 30-40k won by now and since she doesn't, she doesn't think it is fair to Babyflo to haul her to 80 more rodeos and bust her butt. She thinks since she is behind, she mise well focus on ERA and go for it again next year.
I don't think anyone is saying its impossible but just isn't worth it to her. She has colts to train and a lot going on so she is changing up her priorities this year. |

Why would anyone want to go to one of her clinics or send their child to one to learn how to ride like that?? It just blows my mind.
I agree with Frodo, she either needs a bigger horse or needs to lose weight. Weight loss combined with better, quieter riding would really help her.
Flame away........I just cringe everytime I see someone ride like that, I don't care how fast or who they are.

| Just glad no one ever took away my rodeo or 1D check for not doing it right according to their standards. Maybe I didn't even think to ask them if I needed to lose weight when I got paid? Who knows...... probably because I'm not skinny and didn't want to know the answer. I just cashed the checks.
And fyi, I don't know Fallon at all other than seeing her at the rodeos when she comes out west. I guess I'm too busy worrying about myself and the results than how someone else rides or how much they weigh. But, to each their own. Keep on keepin on.
I do agree that we should always keep an open mind to learning new things and improving our horsemanship. |

?????? someone who has made the NFR several times, always in contention for a world title , told they need to lose weight or get a bigger horse. Now that funny. When my mom went to NFR she was 5'2" and weighed 102 pounds. Not fair. She needed to gain some weight so the others would have a chance. Nobody that small should ever be allowed to compete, it's not fair to all the jelous wanna bees sitting on the fence criticizing the elite.
Oh barrelracinbroke I know you personally and I wish more on this board did to. If only they knew what you had accomplished in your career and who these people were talking to. You all need to get a grip and read what little she posts on here!!! She doesn't post much or that often but when she does, she knows her Sh$&&&. She could easily come on here and brag but she never will. ?? |

Theres a reason why shes where she is now, shes good at what she does, no reason to be talking about how bad a rider she is, I dont see it, shes moves around alot, just her style, she is who she is.

| After starting out riding western pleasure, then jumping for the past 5 years, and just starting riding barrels, at 50 years old, I commend all of you who can do this. It's harder than it looks and if you can reach down to grab a tipping barrel, or lift your leg, or as some have said "flop around like a monkey" it all takes great balance. |

Location: Cocoa, Florida | Unfortunately for some of us we have to work really really hard to stay in shape or keep weight off, I've always struggled with my weight, my horse is a 2D at the most horse, whether it's my weight or that she's just not fast enough the fact of the matter is that we both try our hearts out, and have fun.
If you did follow Fallon on snapchat you would see she's constantly in her workout clothing, and always riding, if you ask me she's not sitting on the couch eating potatoe chips then hopping on Flo and running everywhere.

| Fallon is not a big girl. She probably stands about 5'6" I'd guess. She is not large at all nor is she overweight. BabyFlo is tiny so it makes Fallon appear larger than she really is. I'm not a Fallon fan in some area's. But I don't agree she needs a bigger horse. My daughter is 5'5" and her mare is about the same size as BabyFlo. To look at pictures it looks like my daughter is huge. That is not the case. How can you call 5'5" and 125 pounds overweight or too big? Fallon is close to the same size. |

SKM - 2016-06-26 11:05 AM I'm hoping her wild riding is a thing of the past. At the one ERA her foot got stuck up in the cantle on first. She was forced to sit quiet and ride since she was stuck. It was her best time. She said that she was going to start trying to ride quieter.
Why would anyone want to go to one of her clinics or send their child to one to learn how to ride like that?? It just blows my mind.
I agree with Frodo, she either needs a bigger horse or needs to lose weight. Weight loss combined with better, quieter riding would really help her.
Flame away........I just cringe everytime I see someone ride like that, I don't care how fast or who they are.
I probably read this with some hate in my heart, but this post makes me want to find you and kick your ass for all us chunky chicks on nice horses that you probably would use your salt and vinegar on.
Horses that are carrying too much weight don't clock. It's a scientific fact. If you've ever entered a race with Fallon and Baby Flo there, much less a rodeo (which I have), you'd hold your tongue as you got yours doors blown off.
That team is smoking fast and have way more to talk about in way of accomplishments than 98% of the people on this board.
Every clinic, every rider, everywhere can offer knowledge to everyone else. That knowledge is sometimes in the form of how not to ride.
But honestly, I'd be proud to go ride with Fallon, because that chic has overcome mountains. If I went and learned NOTHING, it would be because I had my head up my ass and wasn't paying attention.
I get so sick of the jealousy spew on here. Don't like her, don't watch her. Don't like her, so being ugly and help some child learn how to be a star. Don't like her, stop ill wishing her and peddle your ugly somewhere else. Don't like her, build a better horse, a better body, and a bigger franchise, and go beat her.

| I'm calling bull**** on the weight comment. You certainly can expect ridiculous and unnecessary comments like that on the Internet but I never expected to see that on a forum like this. RIDICULOUS. She is obviously gorgeous and fit and works hard as hell and she looks fabulous whatever she might weigh! Cutting someone down like that is just inexcusableBaby Flo has NO problem running with her aboard to win after win. Maybe let the horse decide what she thinks of her jockeys weight! |

Location: Pacific Northwest | I don't consider the wild and crazy riding as something to be proud of, although I'm a pretty quiet rider and I've seen several shots of where I must have been popped out of the saddle and the camera caught it at just the right moment.
But Fallon is definitely NOT overweight. I'm extremely tiny and I don't even think she's overweight. |

| All I can say is WOW!
Im really glad iv never posted any pictures of me on here. While I do agree everyone has something new to learn every day, I would not say anyone that has EVER made it to the NFR needs to completely change the way they do things. Cause if I remember correctly Fallon has already done that after her first not so great NFR experience with baby flo. She said she was so mad at herself so she went home and changed everything about how she rode so she could get BETTER! and she made it back to the NFR the following year. Im really tired of ppl beating on Fallon for the things she does, Iv never met her. Im not a die hard fan. But I guarantee if I ever do meet her I will ask her opinion of what I could do better to be more like her. |

BUT
Every time my 5'9 165lb self climbs on my 14.1hh crotch rocket... I remind myself that she's out there taking names and cashing checks so we must be doing something right.
I guess I'll go home and let him know the BHW gods have spoken, I'm too big for him, and we need to stop kicking a**, that's a darn shame ain't it. |

| Hats off to anyone that has been successful on the rodeo trail! I appreciate the ALL of the individuals that compete and live this tough lifestyle!
My 2 mares are small and weigh 1,000 lbs. each. This motivates me to stay in shape. I know that a horse should never be expected to perform (and stay sound) with more than 20% of its own weight on its back. Fallon definitely believes in fitness, and she knew what it would take to win on a small horse with a BIG heart! |

| I cant decide if this thread ****es me off or makes me sad...
Fallon has already made comments about getting her foot stuck made her realize she wants to quiet down. Now she won before and she is still self-reflecting. I think some people here need to self-reflect... why are you being so ugly? What is it that makes you heart so mean? Bad marriage? Death in the family? Lack of success on your end? Dead-end job? What makes you so full of hate where you want to make such a nasty comment about someone??!!
People... honestly, and we wonder whats wrong with this world.
For a gal who's won the world, constantly winning barrel races in Texas and someone who gives so much of her time to other's is suddenly too big for her horse? Can you outrun her? Have you? Good grief...

Location: Canada | I am so incredibly disgusted by a comment that she needs to lose weight. Whether you like her or not she's got the qualifications and world titles to back her abilities. She is a role model to many barrel racers both young and old and if I had a daughter and had to choose between her wanting to be some waif like actress who starves herself thin or a woman like Fallon Taylor who is slender and FIT then FT would win hands down every time.
If you have ever seen her snap chats or watched her in anything she's always saying to improve yourself and never stop learning. She continually says she's learning how to be a better rider/owner to her horses and I think that alone is admirable.
I was not a Fallon Taylor fan but in the last two years I've gained a lot of respect for the woman. She may not be every ones cup of tea but how she inspires a lot of people and encourages people that being different is okay - that is someone who deserves some respect.

hotpaints you are totally right.
If Fallon would just lose all those extra pounds... Then she would be successful.... maybe even qualify for the NFR or something.

None of us are perfect and I have a huge amount of respect for people who can realize what they're doing wrong and do everything possible to correct it, for the betterment of themselves and their horses.Oh and honestly, if FT is overweight, I must be a blubbery beached whale. |

Location: Mountains of VA | O.K. so now that everyone is ready to put me on the BBQ, let me add that one of the things that I do admire about Fallon is her push for all riders to wear helmets. No, I do not know her. I have only seen pictures and videos of her. No, I do not like her riding style. I prefer Sherry Cervi. Yes, Barrel racing is a timed event so it is whoever is the fastest regardless of how it is done. Fallon admitted she should/would try to ride quiet. She has accomplished a lot.
NOW, is everyone going to kick my butt and throw me on the BBQ for saying that I have no idea how anyone would spend big $$ to go hear Hillary speak and she would also benefit from losing weight, wearing something else besides what looks like a tent and should have changed "horses" years ago.

Hotpaints... feel free to post pictures of yourself, accomplishments, wardrobe, etc. so we can see what makes you so **** perfect. Maybe then we can understand how someone can think they are so entitled as to rip someone down like that. I don't know FT personally accept what I see on the media but I do know that NO ONE deserves to be bullied online. You are nothing but a bully. One thing I have learned from FT is that usually bullys are negative because there life is negative. So I ask again, what makes you so **** perfect? Or what is in your life that has made you so openly hateful.
People are their own worst critics and don't need assistance from someone like you. Have you ever been to a clinic? Watched any of the clips from it? I had a friend go to her clinic and she posted a drill on fb and I found it super beneficial. Just because you don't ride like FT doesn't mean you cant learn something from her. We all have different styles. I hope whatever happened to you in your life that created this monster was worth it because you really really need a reality check. |

Please post a picture of your perfect body. Since you feel compelled to tear down other women based on their size I can only assume you are the picture of perfection.
If you're like most of the population (male and female) then you'll have some body hangup and I'm sure you'd be upset if people decided to go on a public forum and bash you for it. Have respect for yourself and other people and keep such useless bashing comments to yourself.

Hmmm... Who knew... Learn something new everyday....
Fallon, If you somehow find this thread and that terribly distasteful comment please know that Hotpaints does not speak for me. I will admit I wasn't a fan for a few years. I did not agree with your loud riding style and training techniques. But it got the job done. The past year I have watched you take every snide, nasty, mean and hateful comment and turn it into a positive life experience. Gracefully and respectively. You didn't lash back. You didn't bash. For that, I applaud and respect you. As far as weight goes, if you're happy and healthy, who cares what your weight is and who cares what others think. You are beautiful and you are unique and that's all that matters. |

I think some people here need to self-reflect... why are you being so ugly? What is it that makes you heart so mean? Bad marriage? Death in the family? Lack of success on your end? Dead-end job? What makes you so full of hate where you want to make such a nasty comment about someone??!!
People... honestly, and we wonder whats wrong with this world.
For a gal who's won the world, constantly winning barrel races in Texas and someone who gives so much of her time to other's is suddenly too big for her horse? Can you outrun her? Have you? Good grief...
#mindblown
How do you get your foot stuck anyway? |

Location: The edge of no where | TMEquine - 2016-06-27 11:46 AM I like how everyone is calling Hotpaints comment ugly, but the responses from everyone flaming her are far uglier. I don't know - here's her original comment. It's definitely one of the rudest, most uncalled for posts I've ever seen on here. Geeeezzzzz...... I think people have been banned from the site for being so rude.
hotpants - Why would anyone want to go to one of her clinics or send their child to one to learn how to ride like that?? It just blows my mind.
I agree with Frodo, she either needs a bigger horse or needs to lose weight. Weight loss combined with better, quieter riding would really help her.
Flame away........I just cringe everytime I see someone ride like that, I don't care how fast or who they are.

O.K. so now that everyone is ready to put me on the BBQ, let me add that one of the things that I do admire about Fallon is her push for all riders to wear helmets. No, I do not know her. I have only seen pictures and videos of her. No, I do not like her riding style. I prefer Sherry Cervi. Yes, Barrel racing is a timed event so it is whoever is the fastest regardless of how it is done. Fallon admitted she should/would try to ride quiet. She has accomplished a lot.
NOW, is everyone going to kick my butt and throw me on the BBQ for saying that I have no idea how anyone would spend big $$ to go hear Hillary speak and she would also benefit from losing weight, wearing something else besides what looks like a tent and should have changed "horses" years ago.
I have a general rule........ People should not criticize those people who have accomplished MORE than they themselves have doing the same sport. SO unless anyone on here has gone to the NFR more times than FT has, then it doesn't make a difference how big she is, horse is, what she looks like, riding style etc. Unless you can outrun her and take her money, don't criticize. |

Two wrongs don't make a right and bullying someone for "being a bully" makes for a silly argument. |

I think the issue was more about the weight comment. I don't particularly like the "plane coming in to land" look when riders are practically doing the splits while two feet above the horse's back, but FT has the accomplishments to back up her style. I personally prefer a quieter riding style, because I agree, that cannot be comfortable for the horse. |

You may be right and I don't think Fallon is overweight as much as a tiny horse can make you look like you are.

| ThreeCorners - 2016-04-29 12:23 PM What website are you talking about? www.falontaylor.com ??Are her clinics called the run home tour? Why not just call it a clinic schedule? lol Because it's Fallon's website and she can call it what she wants. Besides being a beautiful woman and an amazing barrel racer she is very talented in the marketing and promoting of her business. "Run Home Tour" is a great name for her "clinic schedule." "Clinic schedule" would be a plain-jane name for her schedule and we all know there is nothing plain-jane about Fallon! I, for one, hope Fallon never stops being a little fancier, flashier and gaudier than many of her talented, yet predictable, counterparts. Why not call just call it a clinic schedule? What a silly question! One simply does not expect the expected with Fallon! That's why so many people love her!

There's a good possibility that Baby Flo has to be ran that way to get past the barrels. Haven't we all seen horses that become barrel hitters the second the rider lets up and "quits" the horse? Perhaps Lisa doesn't ride Louie that way because he doesn't need to be rode that way. I can't imagine myself questioning the why or how of any of the NFR cowgirls. It never ceases to amaze me when people hiding behind computer keyboards do it! Long story short: It's hard to argue with success.
As far as Baby Flo being "hurt" by Fallon's riding style...just out of curiosity? Is Baby Flo a balker? Does she refuse the pen or vapor lock? Or does she happily come running in like the little freight train that could? Is there anyone who has seen her enough to be able to answer that question? I think the answer may shed some light into whether the "little mare that could" and can and has, is being hurt! |

Location: Cocoa, Florida | I'm no expert but I've ridden enough horses to know that it's not easy to run a push style horse into a turn and be able to sit quietly in the turn as well. I have a mare that when you stop "riding" her she thinks it's time to sit and turn. You literally have to drive all the way to your spot, sit, look and turn then get up and go again. If she's a push style mare, in my opinion, they're harder to ride then a free runner. if she's anything like my horse you have to hustle them. |

| Every single other issue aside, riding style, size of baby flo, accomplishments, your overall feelings toward fallon or any other barrel racer, it is not okay to say they need to lose weight. I really had to look and see if the poster was a dude. What woman doesn't spend a ton of time and energy worrying about her weight? How can we all not have a complex when someone like fallon taylor is considered over weight? I bet if you stood next to her you'd be mortified. People who are known largely thru pics and video are almost always way littler in person. I'm not trying to bully anyone, either, it's just hurtful to every single woman on here to have read that. |

| It seems like all I know about FT is the bad about her lol. I remember the whole Chuy saga with her, during that time when all her other dirty dealings came to light. I also remember first year back at the NFR and in her interview when asked "what does it take to get to the NFR" and her answer was "money" it's all left a bad taste in my mouth.
I will say though that she's a marketing genius. She has these little kids and teenie boppers eating up whatever she puts out!

^^Great summation. Really - it has nothing to do with FT - it's the fact that some posters decided it was ok to tell another (extremely successful) barrel racer that they needed to lose weight. |

| I think she's riding better than a couple years ago. Love her hate her you have to admit she is a go getter and is channeling positive vibes to those that seem to get swept up in "cracks" I enjoy watching her run because she's going for it. She's not worried about perfection but she's trying to win. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. She admitted a couple years ago she wasn't happy with her riding. She had a mess of an NFR. She can back improved and more driven. |

Amen babbyswabbys......
The comical part of this topic is that most of the snide remarks have come from the Fallon Taylor Fan Club reading things into posts that were totally harmless and choosing to interpret them as jealousy and an evil plot aimed at their hero. Just isn't so. Fallon is just a gal with lots of colorful clothes, colorful hair, lots of make-up, who likes to push wearing helmets because (gasp) she sells them.

You can really see how TINY Babyflo is , ( same as her dam was like a lot of OTMR mares) as well as see how Fallon rides. Both Sara Rose and Taylor J were there as well on the backup horses, Sharin H also , Mary Burger tho was in a perf .
Anyways Fallon not doing many PRCA /WPRA rodeos this yr , Calgary next , so not many ops to see vid n pics of Babyflo.
