What do you guys think of Fallon Taylor?

I do not barrel race. However this is what I found.

1. She took lessons with barrel racer Martha Josey starting at 11 yrs of age.

2. Her parents dumped lots of money into her because she decided at age 11 she wanted to barrel race.

3. She has been barrel racing for 20 years.

Has she learned any horsemanship outside of barrel racing? Who knows, but she was very focused from the beginning. Does she take advantage of her name and notority to sell horses at a much higher price than you would pay if you bought the same horse from someone else? Of Course.

That is what Top Riders/Trainers do. I lived down the street from a top name international hunter/jumper type whose son is still in the business. I KNOW he used sedatives on the OTTBs he bought and other not quite kosher practices because I saw it with my own eyes. His goal was to turn around an OTTB for quick sale. That was his business and that is how he made his living. Ethics has little place in the business community.

Not cynicism just many years in industry.

Me and some friends we have this conversation at the barn yesterday. Some people hate her, and think she's a horse trader who takes a grade horse, sticks a huge price tag on them, and should stick to modeling. Others think she's good at what she does and she's just running a business. What do you...

Slander-An untruthful oral (spoken) statement about a person that harms the person's reputation or standing in the community. Because slander is a tort (a civil wrong), the injured person can bring a lawsuit against the person who made the false statement. If the statement is made via broadcast media -- for example, over the radio or on TV -- it is considered libel, rather than slander, because the statement has the potential to reach a very wide audience. Both libel and slander are forms of defamation. (See also: defamation)

Joe, there is no libel involved for making truthful statements about someone, no matter how bad the language. Since there are people on the internet with REAL user names who have dealt with her personally, and basically said the same thing about her, your scare tactic doesn't really hold much weight. If Ms. Taylor is worried about her reputation, she may want to improve her PR and business methods. Maybe her teammate, Sherry Cervi, can give her some lessons. You would be hard-pressed to find a negative comment about Ms.Cervi. I have no stake in this, except for a dislike of trolls.

I personally can't stand her......she has ripped A LOT of people of in her horse sales. She is a stuck up hoe that thinks her **** don't stink just because she was 11-12 when she went to the NFR. I know a women who also made it when she was 11 and she is VERY humble and fun to be around, not rude or a know it all.

I also don't like the way she rides or trains, she over rides her horses, heavy handed and some of her videos make you want to go "really"?

So I don't care for her because she is a ***** that trades horses and rips people off in the process....

She also said one of her horses were "stolen" and splattered it all over FB when the gal was having trouble getting the horse back to her since her ride fell through. THAT is ridiculous and very low.....which made me dislike the fake hoe even more :)

I am sure she jacks the price up because of her fame and success in racing. So did every famous eventer that I knew. I can't blame them and don't feel sorry for those you pay way too much for a horse just for "bragging" rights.

I read the comments here and you have the right to express your feeling. I know you and the others are completely way off base. But to each is own. I know hundreds of others that can dispute however, Might want to watch what you are saying one might think you are teetering on SLANDER ~~ make false and damaging statements about (someone). synonyms: defame (someone's character), blacken someone's name, tell lies about, speak ill/evil of, sully someone's reputation, libel, smear, cast aspersions on, spread scandal about, besmirch, tarnish, taint; More
