Fallon Taylor: Entrepreneur, Professional Athlete, and Coach


It takes grit, passion, and confidence to be a cowgirl, and Fallon Taylor, 2014 WPRA Barrel Racing World Champion, has always embodied these three qualities. At the young age of 13, Fallon came racing into the rodeo spotlight when she qualified for the 1995 National Finals Rodeo (NFR). She went on to qualify again in β€˜96, β€˜97, and β€˜98, before taking time off from the rodeo circuit to move to New York City to pursue a modeling career, which proved to be very successful. The rodeo star left New York after 10 years to pursue an acting career in Los Angeles and landed roles in a number of popular tv shows and movies.

The heart wants what the heart wants, and after her time in New York and Los Angeles, Fallon returned to Texas to pursue barrel racing again. In a tragic accident, Fallon was bucked off while training one evening and suffered a head injury that proved to be nearly fatal, temporarily paralyzing the athlete. Overcoming all-odds, Fallon not only walked again, but rode again, and went on to qualify for the NFR in 2013. One year after her triumphant return to the Thomas & Mack, Fallon earned the title of Barrel Racing World Champion, aboard Flos Heiress, 2013 WPRA/AQHA Barrel Racing Horse of the Year.
