LOLOLOL Ha ha ha ha,,, you NAILED it!!!! Thats just too funny, I call her the Kardashian of the Barrel racing world... And by the way how in the heck did this thread turn in to a Fallon talk?!! Because of me lol! Sorry to the OP. I somewhat agree with the OP. The way I translated it anyway. I feed my horses the best quality feed I can afford, I monitor their body condition and exercise them as much as I can... I need to start paying more attention to my diet and body condition lol! I was so motivated today, I joined the gym! I know for a fact I'll ride a lot better dropping some lbs and conditioning my body.. I expect a lot from my equine athletes, time to look in the mirror.

Impressive!! Posts: 1954 Location: Idaho	turnedout - 2017-03-19 9:31 AM Just because someones physical appearance doesn't meet your requirements for an athlete, doesn't mean they aren't one. This!!! I go to the gym 5x a week and I do aerobics class. I am probably 2-3 sizes bigger then the average girl in there, but I am fitter and physcially in better shape then them... just because I am thicker doesn't mean I sit on my ass and watch TV all day and then expect to go win the 1D.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 312 Location: KS	Emtranch - 2017-03-18 10:54 PM I love horses, probably more than humans, so I get very frustrated when humans complain about their horses but don't put their part in. You want the best out of your horse than be the athlete they are. Hold yourself to the same expectations, if not who is holding who back? Am I the only one who gets frustrated by watching amazing athletes being jockeyed by non-athletes who then complain about the true athletes performance? If barrel racing is truly to be considered a sport, does not the jockey utmost need to be an athlete??? No where does it say obese, overweight, or stating any kind of size a rider should be. So I don't believe the OP was referring to body size, but more about the ones out there you vocally complain about their horse, and don't think that maybe they played a roll in the horses performance. There are skinny non-athletes too. Think some of us may have put words into the OP's mouth?!?

Total Germophobe Posts: 6443 Location: Montana	I have been working out over the winter trying to get in shape so I can ride my younger horse, and I'm strong, can stack hay, do a full days work, but I think I still look like a monkey on the barrel pattern, LOL. But at least I'm trying and I'm getting there! I feel so much more balanced and comfortable and in control since I have started working out, I can't wait to start barrel racing again this spring/summer. Now I have to get my girls in shape! I don't ever blame my horse for a crappy run...I may blame her when she steps on my foot, LOL, not for a crappy run.

Keeper of the King Snake Posts: 7622 Location: Dubach, LA	I remember watching a lady run at the Ike in West Monroe. She scared me to death . All over the horse and the pen. I judged her. It turns out that was her last run. She was terminal and died a couple of months later.

Three in a Bikini Posts: 2035	I agree with you OP. I have been devoting myself to a minimum of 3/4 gym days and 3/4 riding days. It is HARD. I don't want to say that my run times or riding style has improved from this extra effort. But I will tell you that I have been able to hang on for dear life in situations where I would have previously hit the dirt!!!

Veteran Posts: 288	want2chase3 - 2017-03-20 7:44 AM 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. Or you you could block, unfollow, look away, etc. Life is certainly full of options.

Expert Posts: 1612 Location: Cocoa, Florida	I followed her back in her YouTube days right when she first started, I always googled drills on YouTube and she came up so I subscribed to her channel, this was long before Snapchat was even around. I believe she started the videos right after her accident recovery, they were pretty informative. Everything changed when Snapchat started (or at least I noticed) it became more wild colors, clothes, makeup, hair, which is all good but not why I originally followed a pro barrel racer.
