All cowboys/girls have a similar saying, but Fallon actually lived the saying. I love it and can’t wait to enter the next one when my horse feels up to it, but I’ll be way pickier about where I enter and probably be spending the majority of my time at a barrel race near you with some awesome ground.”

They have cowboy hats for halos, and horses for wings." Fallon Taylor is a barrel racer who qualified for the NFR (National Finals Rodeo) at the age of thirteen, and again and again in the years that followed.

Not many people can suffer a broken back and still walk after, much less ride.

“So, after three major third barrel wrecks in the span of 45 days I think I’ll be reevaluating my rodeo goals. Bull Riding and Chuck Wagon Races are all fine and dandy, but nothing shows a woman’s spirit more than her guts and competitive actions. And finally, she experienced a tragic accident but showed it who was boss when she defeated every barrier that blocked her way.

In 2014 she reached her goal, taking the win at the NFR for the first time in her career. To view the current Fallon Taylor by Troxel line, please visit: http://www.troxelhelmets.com/fallon-taylor.

They bought her a horse, and since then, she hasn't looked back. She became my hero because I now know that no matter how much the cause seems lost, and no matter what that cause is, your belief in yourself can make all the difference, and you might just find yourself as someone else’s hero!

Well-known barrel racer, World Champion Fallon Taylor, was running in the Tri-State Rodeo in  Fort Madison, Iowa, over the weekend when fans watched her and her horse fall in the arena.

She was different, and she wanted people to know it. Living life on the road, being given the privilege to be around some of the smartest animals in the world, and making money as you go but barely having anything left over after you have bought all your tackle was just the kind of exciting life I wanted as a child. During her run, it appeared that her horse, Kooter, was tripped up, causing both him and Taylor to flip.

When she had an accident training one of her family's young horses, Fallon Taylor suffered from a fractured skull and broken back after she leapt from the saddle to save herself. She even tried modeling in New York and acting in Los Angeles for a short time, but more than that, she is an inspiration to all young girls, whether they were raised on a farm or not.

Usually runs average around seventeen or eighteen seconds, so even milliseconds matter when you are competing, and this score was something to be proud of because not very many barrel racers will achieve that time in their career. However, Fallon Taylor always stood out to me more than the others because of her unique personality and rough back story.

Yet, what matters is that she did recover, when she met her current horse, Babyflo. These speak as loudly as her glowing colours and unique patterns, which is what makes her my hero and role model.

I have always loved watching the barrel racing because it is the only sport in rodeoing where women get to shine. Taylor has been helping pave the way for helmet acceptance in the rodeo circuit ever since, a sport where cowboy hats are heavily favored over safety helmets.

Helmet awareness is an important and personal crusade for Taylor who suffered a broken neck after getting bucked off a horse in 2009.

I loved that even though she faced huge obstacles, she overcame them, coming back stronger than before.

Normal people do extraordinary things every day, and Fallon is one of those people. Even when she became critically injured, she fought to face her fears and get right back on her horse, as a cowgirl does; Fallon Taylor’s willpower and determination are what gives her heroic qualities.

Fallon Taylor is well known in the rodeo community, but if not by name, you might know her by the vibrant and eye-catching neon colours she adorns herself with every time she competes.
