perfectturns - 2016-09-09 4:27 PM WrapSnap - 2016-09-09 11:42 AM Cowjazz - 2016-09-09 11:31 AM It is NOT a D format according to what I heard. Doubt it ever would be as this is her way of replacing her rodeo income from the rodeos and the failing ERA. Just a way for her to pad her pockets with cash from her trusting "Sheep". After all they are dieing to watch her and Baby Flo!!!! Oh, and as for her 1 second penalty for a dropped barrel? LOL she must be planning ahead on hitting a few, so she has made sure she covered that possibility in her favor.
 Do you honestly think she needs her "rodeo income"? You spend as much as you make. I'm pretty sure her business ventures are lining her pockets and a couple of bank vaults by now. Whether you like her and her practices or not, you have to see that she is doing well in business Wrapsnap you are so right. She recently had a clinic in Cheyenne wy. there were 30-40 participants in this one clinic at $500 a pop... It's not hard to figure out that she is making a killing putting on clinics. That's not even counting the 30+ that came to watch at $150 a person and all of the gifts that she receives 
An insane amount of gifts. I follow on snap chat just to watch the craziness after seeing her with THE longest autograph line at the NFR. It was insane.. I get a kick out of her snaps.. She just did a HUGE giveaway. Ever order from the two shopping sites received something from her -NFR shirts, hats, gifts she had rec'd. Her and her crew worked all night sending stuff (I think it was like 4am as the last label went on a gift).. It was a horse trailer load of packages she send to those that ordered something with a 24hr period (I think). She did a little snap about being blessed and encouraged everyone to be a blessing to someone else..
So, I'm gonna say she is one of the most powerful ambassadors to our sport regardless of what we really think of her or her intentions or whatever. I'm thankful that she does a GREAT job of staying positive the majority of the time AND she is definitely a sharp business minded woman.
(Not gonna buy a horse from her though ??) | |

But she's excited, I am so excited, I am so excited, and so is her band of followers. I am sure, hoping you all will enter and they can take your money at $150.00 a person.

I know her fans are numerous, but how many squads would she need to pay out in the D format? But then again, she has many fans and they rabidly follow her. At 150 a squad, that's not a bad entry fee, but then any winnings have to be split with in the squad. I don't think her fans think that way though. They are just happy to be around her. Kinda like the Biebers, I guess. Heck, I am really to old to comment.  Not too old to comment, at all! You nailed it, exactly. Her fans go to her stuff like it's a concert and she markets it as such. Different auditing packages, including a "Back stage pass" package. Like she said live last night, this is a chance for her followers to run against their idols. It won't be about the entry fees, or the payout for those "squads" that enter... Saddles, tack, horses, eyelashes, make-up line, clinics and now a clothing line. Like her or not, she's definitely not limiting her income to rodeo winnings. I actually think it's pretty smart - business-wise anyway.
Who manufactures each of her products? Does anyone know? I don't have any of her products. I just wonder when someone has their own "line" of something I always wonder who make it for them. I know she isn't strapped to a sewing machine making the clothes. Does she have employees in a warehouse somewhere sewing clothes for her?
Remember MoBetta clothing? Maury Tate actually had people sewing his line of clothing in his hometown of Apache, OK. | |

| epoh - 2016-09-09 11:41 AM My 2 cents: I think it's absolutely and utterly ridiculous that the PRCA and WPRA can ban shareholders. I guess I don't understand why it is an issue. This is like me having both my ammy rodeo card and wpra card. Both seperate associations, yet not banned from either. I pick and choose where I want to run, if I don't want to travel far and consistently so be it. Each makes their own rules, and some rodeos in my area are even co-sanctioned ammy & prca. Anyone who has children think of this scenario: traveling tournament teams are usually for kids that show a decent amount of skill and are able to compete on a higher level. Because they are on that traveling team, should they be banned from high school ball? I know this is a touchy subject, but I guess I don't understand why everyone can't play nice. Maybe because some of the people who did not get chosen for the "elite" are fueling the ERA backlash, who knows. I see where fallon is coming from, I have favorite rodeos and arenas I like running in. So yes, it'd be disappointing to be banned from them. ETA: Fallon did not ban every pro rodeo, she ran in some also. Not as many as she would to qualify for the NFR, but then again when she was qualifying for the NFR she definitely was not doing clinics or promoting/selling her brand like she is now. Not saying I'm sure fallon junkie, but she does deserve some respect over being upset towards the ban. They are both wanting to be the ultimate, elite association. Both wanting to be the only big game in town so to speak. There isn't as much rodeo money to go around as so many would think. Also, the ERA's original plan was to piggyback off of the success of the PRCA and it's contestants. That's where the biggest problem started. The qualifying rules originally stated the type of rodeos (amount money & contestants) that one needed to win in order to be considered as a new contestant in the ERA which basically only fit the bigger PRCA rodeos. Therefore, a potential ERA contestant would need to be successful in the PRCA and before the ERA would snag them. Originally, they were using the PRCA as their qualifying system instead of creating their own...... It may still be part of it. Also, the ERA tried to get already established PRCA rodeos to ditch their successful yearly PRCA rodeo and jump on board as an ERA rodeo instead, worked to get PRCA stock contractors, etc. Like it or not, PRCA was trying to protect what they had. I know PRCA doesn't really support the cowboys the way they should and gives out a ridiculous amount of fines over every little thing to their contestants. I don't see the PRCA making changes to address contestant complaints either.
I would assume the PRCA would strongly encourage the WPRA to follow suit since the WPRA is an "invited guest" to PRCA rodeos and the NFR.

People give gifts to their celebrity favorites all the time. For example with singers, they throw gifts on stage, give them gifts at meet and greats, and make them homemade things. In the real celebrity world, celebs get free meals at restaurants, complimentary products, and special seating. Just look at the "swag bags" celebs get for coming to awards shows. Entertainment Tonight or a show like that tells the value of the swag bags. It's outrageous what all that stuff costs. They could all afford it themselves, but get it for free just for showing up. | |

More than likely it's all just private label brands. For example, on the makeup - if you google private label cosmetics, you'll find a slew of companies that will make "your brand" and then you can mark it up 3 or 4 times the cost... Honestly anyone can have their own brand if you're willing to shell out some cash.
Love her or hate her, she or an agent/manager is very business savvy.

Location: Missouri | As someone who was there last night and ran, I am not a "follower" of Fallon. For me it wouldn't of mattered what NFR barrel racer put on this jackpot. The fact that one did was the bonus! The fact it was 15 minutes from my house was the bonus. When else would I ever get an opportunity to run in the same pen with an NFR gal? That's why I ran. Was I gonna get my butt handed to me? Of course! But for my 30.00 entry fee.......who cares. I had a great time, got my pic taken with her and she signed a pair of boots for me. It was much more intimate than standing in line at the NFR in Vegas.
If she comes back, bet your sweet bippy I'll be there again. As for the payout, 3 squads got paid, 15 people won money, and her squad didn't win. | |

I agree that would be hard on your confidence lol. We don't have any in Missouri popping up at random jackpots. I wouldn't say I was star struck, it was just a once in a lifetime opportunity. Now....there were TONS of young girls that were absolutely beside themselves.
My squad was all over 50 years old. If I get to do it again maybe I can stack the deck with Grandma June, Mary Burger, Mary Walker, lol. I'd love Lisa Lockhart but she's not over 50 yet :) | |

Location: That part of Texas | dashnlotti - 2016-09-08 6:34 PM Fallon just announced that ERA shareholders will not be allowed to compete WPRA in 2017. Thoughts??
Thoughts? WPRA was stupid in making the rule at this time with the ERA failing so bad. They've now possibly opened themselves up to liability that the PRCA is still facing under the anti-trust/competition suit the ERA let go but isn't barred from refiling again. All those Plaintiffs now have proof that another association cannot survive because of PRCA dominance in the field due to the ERA failing so badly and that's exactly what the Court was willing to entertain if presented with some concrete evidence. Well, the evidence is arguably there if anybody wants to refile. WPRA should have stayed out of it another year and waited to see if the suit was going to be revived before doing something stupid to get them caught up in the litigation. | |
