Fallon Taylor

Fallon Taylor is an American professional rodeo cowgirl who specializes in barrel racing. She is the 2014 Women's Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) Barrel Racing World Champion. She qualified for the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) seven times between 1995–1998 and 2013–2015. She made her first NFR debut when she was 13 years old in 1995. Her horse BabyFlo was named the Women's Professional Rodeo Association/American Quarter Horse Association WPRA/AQHA Barrel Racing Horse of the Year in 2013. Taylor was the youngest of three children born to Shelton and Dian Taylor.

Career Taylor was eight years old when she joined the Women's Professional Rodeo Association in 1990. She first qualified for the NFR at the young age of 13 in 1995. She also qualified for the next three years. For Taylor, being a teenager in the top rodeo in the country was a big deal. "It was awesome," she said. "I had a different perspective than the adults who went there stressing out about different things. I was just excited to be in Vegas, to go Circus Circus and ride the big top, sign a few autographs and get on my horse." The horses that got her to the NFR at that time were Dr. Nick Bar and Flowers and Money.

After her recovery and with her husband's support, Taylor was determined to return to competitive rodeo at the age of 31. She choose the offspring of the horse who took her to the NFR four times in her teenage years, BabyFlo, who was a young mare. They started BabyFlo right away. BabyFlo placed in the top of her division at her first rodeo, albeit with many mistakes. However, though Babyflo surprised Taylor with her potential, she immediately told her family this was the horse who would take her back to the top. This season the duo really started to become a unit and move up the standings. Placing 16th was just one spot away from qualifying for the NFR. Babyflo performed so well that she was named PRCA/WPRA AQHA Reserve Barrel Racing Horse of the Year. She has one World Barrel Racing Championship in 2014. She qualified for the NFR in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
