| I have personally met a "bad horse" buyer and its not an exaggeration. I feel she's not a role model for children because of the non "kid safe" horses she sells, but I'd love for everyone to buy from her ranch dress'n store so she quits moving horses.

Location: North Dakota | Nevertooold - 2015-12-12 12:30 PM I prefer Callie DuPerier's statement. She has the money to wear whatever she wants and instead protrays the look of a real cowgirl. She wears a hat she has had for years, has worn the same shirt for more then one perf, wears her hair in a braid and has no make up on. She is pure class in and out of the arena and it sure doesn't bother her when she doesn't win. She is her friends biggest cheerleader. She is what I would want my kids to admire.
Callie seems great but IMO none of that stuff is what being a real cowgirl is all about. I love makeup--almost as much as I love horses! I can't leave the house without doing my hair. I like wearing clothes that stand out and look good. I don't think that makes me any less of a cowgirl. I still go out and haul hay and shovel horse crap in -30 degree weather. I ride well and have never bought a finished horse. I'm not afraid of dirt, sweat, blood, etc. I work hard and live for my horses like any "real" cowgirl. I just look d@mn good doing all that. To me, looking like a "real cowgirl" has a lot more to do with what you're doing and how you're riding than what you're wearing. |

And as I understand it from her interview those things, her hat, her side ponytail and her no make up look are her "superstitions", not what makes her a good cowgirl. She seems like a very sweet girl and I was very impressed with the management style that she approached the 10 rounds with. Very impressive. |

I dont think makeup and fancy clothes makes a person who they are, its whats inside that makes you. Oh edit to add here: Callie is a very hard worker, she worked her butt off to be where she is today.

Didn't Charmayne James have a horse matching site at one time? I always wanted to try it, but was broke. :) |

I remember when she first started it and it was pricey as more hands you get in the pie...the price continues to go up. There was a Board Buddy on here that did this and I'm not sure if she still does but she would get a good number of horses gathered in one spot so the extra money could easily save you rather then running all over the country trying horses plus all the frustration of talking to so many different people trying to find the perfect horse. |

Bottom line...Callie was all about her horse and running barrels. Not about making it all about her and having to stand out in the crowd. She's a team player that goes back to her volleyball days. Can't help it...She is the person I would want my daughter to look up to. To each his own. |

 I'm sure she's a great role model :) she did a great job with Dillon winning this against some very tough girls. I just don't see any correlation between fashion and horsemanship. Cash comes first for me but I'll still go ham w/ my outfits. |

Location: North Dakota | I'll say that Fallon has an impact on our industry. After all, we've got 90+ responses talking mostly about her (and usually EVERY thread goes this way!!). 
I kinda see her style along the same lines as Lady Gaga. Wear what you want, and don't give a hoot about what anyone else thinks. They both own it.

Location: Oregon | I admire ANYONE that has the confidence to wear whatever they want, live however they want, do whatever they want, etc - whether that’s dye your hair purple, tattoo yourself, get married, don’t get married, have kids, don’t have kids, drive a Ford/Chevy/Dodge, run barrels, do dressage. You get one life. Enjoy every second. Be nice and keep a smile on your face. |
