Location: Texas | When the rider blames the horse for mistakes that are made, yes it is frustrating. But at the same time, I really don't give two flips. I'm not there to judge everyone else. I'm just worried about my horses and my runs. I'm too busy trying to make sure I'm doing everything to the best of my ability to have time to worry about anyone else. | |

The best way to get through life is to stop being catty and be supportive of other people, rather than judging others.
The best thing about barrel racing is that we all struggle on our own time, not someone else's.
I don't condone animal abuse, ever, but if it's just a big girl and her horse that you're talking about as a way to feel important, I'll vote for you to go jump in the lake with your ugly attitude and tone. Jesus pleasus.
Very well said!!
Now there's a fine line between a 4D barrel racer just going out to have fun or a pro rodeo athlete that's trying to make a living off of it. I struggle with weigh issues myself, I'm not obese by any means but I could afford to loose 30-40 lbs which would indefinitely make my horse go faster (lol ). Is it that I don't care or blame my horse when we don't win the 1D? No, it is a time thing for me, family, special needs child, horses, full time job, don't always have time to pull a Fallon Taylor and dedicate my whole life to working out and being in top top shape like her. If I had the time and barrel racing was my only job you better bet your butt id be in that gym twice a day. We can only do what our schedule allows us but that doesn't mean we aren't trying! I can't work out as much so I've been cooking and eating better.
You don't see many or any for that fact fat and out of shape pro rodeo girls blaming their horses for not winning, most of them look amazing because it's their job!
Speaking of FT, did anyone else catch the video she posted on her fb yesterday of her walking in the gym in a g string? I couldn't believe it... she must have gotten some backlash because it's gone now. I thought it was in very poor taste.. lots of young girls worship her. I certainly wouldn't want my daughter looking at that! Anyway, totally not related to this thread but....
I need to lose about 3lbs myself and clean up my diet! If I ate as healthy as my horse I'd be in top shape lol!
If you were to ever follow actual fitness "models" and fitness compeitions, you'll see that posing in the itty bitty bikini's is part of fitness competitions. I believe FT is aiming to enter one of those fitness competitions? There's no other reason why she would be taking posing classes and wearing one of those itty bitty competition bikinis.
I actually competed in figure competitions way back when.... I didn't wear a g string.. I think she has done an amazing transformation and I think she looks awesome but I still think posting THAT on her fb page was tasteless. Just my opinion. I hope she does go and compete... it's a pretty cool thing to train for. Obviously I wasn't the only one who thought it was over the top... it was removed. | |

To be fair - it wasn't a "G-string."
But yes, I wasn't a fan of it either. I have enjoyed getting to know FT but I don't like this new trend she is pushing. | |

It must just be the "in" thing with fitness competitions lately then? I see it all over the place with fitness competitors. Just like how in the horse showing world, one year lighter colored saddles are the in thing and the next year you will get laughed out of the arena for it (just pulling an example out of thin air here, I don't show) | |

Maybe so? I'm glad that wasn't the trend when I competed lol! My bum was covered... I did figure comps so maybe it's a little different. Anyway, she looks amazing and should be proud but she's gotta consider her audience and her followers | |

I had mixed feelings about the thong/Brazilian back bikini, I think she looks amazing and has worked hard for that body but I also think that she's setting a bad example to younger girls that it's okay to flaunt your booty on social media for everyone to see. The again, I also think girls shorts are way to short this day and age, I guess I'm old school but yeah, not much class going on there. | |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | On the FT Facebook page topic:
The swim suit competitions now are pretty much calling for backless bikini bottoms. Basically, if the judges can't see your bum muscles, you're probably not going to win much.... The competitions are very different. If you have never been around them I would google. Very interesting stuff...
Was it wrong to post the video to her facebook? Most likely. But at the same time, Fallon is an adult with an adult following. Sure, she has a lot of followers who are teens or tweens or smaller, but at the same time, if you don't want your kids to see half naked people, put them under a rock. Underwear models are shown on tv every five seconds it seems with bums and boobs showing. Are you going to call them tastless too?
If the parents of children who follow FT are concerned their children are seeing too much, then it's their responsibility to remove their child from the situation, not for FT or any other person in the spot light to bend to parents backlash and be called names for it. Am I a FT fan? Not at all. But roasting a person for baring their bum to a facebook page that parents could easily just block is confusing to me. In fact, if your child has a Facebook page I promise you that FTs bum is not the only bum they're seeing.... I mean, who hasn't seen that "One friend" post a million half naked pics before they delete them off FB? FT is not the only role model these kids look up to and she isn't the first in the limelight to bare her bum. Was she a good role model for your child to follow? Maybe. But people change and sometimes it isn't for the best in certain departments. Let FT do her own thing and wait 5 min after blocking her on your child's social media accounts. Your kids will find another role model. Heck, why not actually sit them down and tell them why you think it was wrong for her to do that and why you are blocking her. Maybe educate your child on why that's not okay in your home instead of leaving the rainsing up to celebrities. Don't judge her, just tell your child hey, I don't agree with what she did and while it sure isn't my place to judge her actions, I don't think it's best you follow her accounts right now until she gets back on track. Boom. Simple and solved.
If you want them to find a "better" role model or you want FT to be a "better role model" or a "perfect" role model then maybe you yourself should be one to your child.  Just my two cents.

Gosh I totally agree.
And on the trends she's promoting: female empowerment, physical fitness and strength, eating right, working to improve your mental health, working to be a good rider, keeping an open mind and learning...
What's not to love about that?
She's done a lot for me and one of my friends with her recent videos, inspirationally and mentally in the arena. I think she's done a lot for the industry in a few short years
Sorry but I can't not like that. She loud and shiny and promotes change, so she'll definitely draw some angry people, but you know, I'm going to keep watching her videos.
If somebody works hard enough to be a contender in a fitness competition, they deserve to crow. I didn't see the video that she posted with her cheeks, but if it was done at context at gym, what's the problem? | |

Completely Agree classicpotatochip.
It was done at the gym. Well, she was walking into the gym, but still. My point stands. if you don't want kids to see, put them under a rock...
Gosh... where is our club at!?
I feel like we need one with all this agreeing you and I have been doing lately.   | |

| Well maybe she should start another FT page for that kind of stuff and just keep the FT & BABY FLO for barrel racing related stuff 
Yes, fitness and eating right and training is big part of barrel racing too. I originally followed her page for barrel racing and I liked the motivation and positivity ... then it started getting too much.... eyelashes, mermaid hair extensions, etc etc... more power to her she's a marketing machine but I've lost my interest in continue following. Just my opinion. My daughter's don't have a Facebook account, but I know plenty of young girls that do. | |

I can see your point. However, I wouldn't want multiple accounts. I'm sure she doesn't either. She has multiple snapchats and wensites and all sorts of other things. I can't imagine her keeping up with all that and a new facebook.
The good thing about competition is there is an off season and I don't think she is pursuing this for more than one season. I think the point in her doing it is to prove to herself that she can. After this round of competition I highly doubt she will do another round. She will most likely move on to something else entirely if history repetes itself. And it usually does LOL .  | |

I'm sure you are right. I competed twice and let me tell you, the commitment and dedication it takes, the diet alone sucks lol! It's not healthy actually to get THAT low in body fat and maintain that all the time! I have no desire to do it again! Getting my body fat tested each week and if it wasn't dropping fast enough, my trainer would cut more calories and up my cardio! Ugh! | |

The best thing about barrel racing is that we all struggle on our own time, not someone else's. I don't condone animal abuse, ever, but if it's just a big girl and her horse that you're talking about as a way to feel important, I'll vote for you to go jump in the lake with your ugly attitude and tone. Jesus pleasus. Very well said!! Now there's a fine line between a 4D barrel racer just going out to have fun or a pro rodeo athlete that's trying to make a living off of it. I struggle with weigh issues myself, I'm not obese by any means but I could afford to loose 30-40 lbs which would indefinitely make my horse go faster (lol ). Is it that I don't care or blame my horse when we don't win the 1D? No, it is a time thing for me, family, special needs child, horses, full time job, don't always have time to pull a Fallon Taylor and dedicate my whole life to working out and being in top top shape like her. If I had the time and barrel racing was my only job you better bet your butt id be in that gym twice a day. We can only do what our schedule allows us but that doesn't mean we aren't trying! I can't work out as much so I've been cooking and eating better. You don't see many or any for that fact fat and out of shape pro rodeo girls blaming their horses for not winning, most of them look amazing because it's their job! Speaking of FT, did anyone else catch the video she posted on her fb yesterday of her walking in the gym in a g string? I couldn't believe it... she must have gotten some backlash because it's gone now. I thought it was in very poor taste.. lots of young girls worship her. I certainly wouldn't want my daughter looking at that! Anyway, totally not related to this thread but.... I need to lose about 3lbs myself and clean up my diet! If I ate as healthy as my horse I'd be in top shape lol! If you were to ever follow actual fitness "models" and fitness compeitions, you'll see that posing in the itty bitty bikini's is part of fitness competitions. I believe FT is aiming to enter one of those fitness competitions? There's no other reason why she would be taking posing classes and wearing one of those itty bitty competition bikinis. ^^ Agree. I am totally unbiased. What she did is normal for those who compete in fitness competitions. She was in a posing class where you walk around as if you were on stage at a competition, and get tips from a coach. FT is very into that part of fitness now, and those types of post will most likely be a regular occurance. Its kind of like a barrel racer posting an exibition video lol. You just have to make a choice as to whether you want to see it or not by following/unfollowing. ETA the video I saw was on her alternate Instagram account. I cannot say if she posted it on her other "barrel racing" accounts. I do believe this was intentional to keep it separate.

Location: North Texas | I agree with the OP.
"Athlete" doesn't imply a certain shape at all (hello powerlifting?). It implies someone who is "proficient or skilled" in a sport (in this case, barrel racing).
Obviously, newcomers will have a learning curve. But I believe the OP is specifically referring to people who do not work at their sport and then complain about the horse's performance.
Maybe not...just my take. | |
