Location: The best kept secret in TX | Are you talking about the one Fallon is putting on? or.....
I think a few people joined when enrollment was only $1. Because, I mean, it's a dollar. You wouldn't lose much if it was all just hype.  |

Location: North Central Iowa Land of white frozen grass | I am not saying she is right or wrong. But I would like to see some of these kids a least have a chance at doing a better job of training and riding their horses. She has a lot of young followers so at least she can get them going in the right direction. Yes she is a great marketer but she is helping the sport by getting more young people into it. If we don't encourage the young people the sport is going to die because of the cost to have horses. |

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | I havent heard much about it at all. Sometimes i feel like she does everything for show now a days. If its useful thats great but i wont be the first to spend the money on it. Now, if it was Martha Josey or Lisa, i'd jump right on it. Love their style!! |

Agreed. I bought one of her DVDs last year, hoping it would help me with a past problem, and I was really turned off by it.
1. No consistent camera style/footage. Most of it seems like it was taken from a phones camera or tablet, not a high quality video recorder. It's not grainy or bad but sometimes the image would be on it's side and it's not like I can move my TV to the side to watch the video.
2. I feel like the "big secret/helpful tip" in that DVD was something I could've just found in a clinicians video for everyday troubleshooting. I mean, yes I can see it being used well on the pattern when you have a problem but it wasn't worth a $40 DVD.
3. She just used one horse as an example in the whole video, which I guess there's nothing wrong with that but I would've loved to see a few more horses with the same problem and seeing if each horse reacted the same way to the training or if one needed a different approach since not every horse is the same.
I mean I really like Fallon as a person and she's an amazing motivational speaker but I'm not into her products or whatever she promotes at the time at all. |

I don't know that I would say she is attracting new youth so much as the ones that are already part of the horse community. :/ |

| I was watching a recent snap chat of hers... in all honesty, my first thought watching it was wow, all of her "squad" is wearing those fake eyelashes... I kinda feel like her "squad " is a revolving door ... or high turnover if you will.. |

Her "squad" reminds of the popular girls' cliques in Jr. high and High School. I am waaay to old to mess with that. Didn't back then, sure not now. But, hey, she did learn a lot about marketing when she did the modeling/acting thing. |

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | Totally agree with you! I've seen/heard about part of her "how to train your dragon" DVD and it just seemed extremly homemade and not very professional. With all the money shes making now you would think she would have put a little more time and effort into it. Right, everything she does is so "secretive" like she has all the answers but you most certainly have to pay for them and then it turns out to be a dud. I agree, she can get you pumped up for a run but thats about it in my eyes. I prefer the FREE videos on barrelhorsetraining with the tons of different trainers and everyones different technics. becuase just like you said, every horse is different! Glad someone feels the same as i do. It seems everyones a FT supporter these days and I am just not one of them.. |
