I watch this podcast and out of all the barrel racers she has been the only one to actually have a intellectual conversation... not that the others weren’t good, but she just spits real adult, mature, life shit. I’m here for it, totally have her back. #FTtherealist

[@missyalford2262]

Me tooo.!!!

[@maggiealice8041]

I’ve always liked Fallon but this podcast gave way more of a look into her real personality and I’m absolutely here for it! She’s such a cool lady and a huge inspiration. This podcast is so awesome and refreshing!

[@joeymadnessspears67]

Her unfiltered series on KZbin is great to!

[@maggiealice8041]

@@joeymadnessspears67 I’ve seen it! Love that series too! It definitely shows her realness more too but this podcast gave some details that I really connected with that weren’t in Unfiltered!

[@frenchbulliesbarrels4232]

YES, I love this podcast and love that people are wanting to hear what this amazing lady has to say!! She definitely is a world champion barrel racer, but she's sooooo much more!! Leave the judging to Jesus and give people a chance!

[@heathertownsend949]

I rarely comment & definitely usually not back to someone writing a comment BUT YOU FOR REAL HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD & I couldn’t have worded it any better and just had to say “THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST & SPEAKING OUT” !!!!!! Like the Bible says about removing the speck from someone else’s eye when you have a plank of wood in your own!!! And what’s sad is you can say that NOW in this generation and SO MANY have no clue what that means etc. I just try to do MY best and man pray for all the people (good or bad) especially with platforms. I cannot imagine how difficult it is and FALLON states it the best on here about the “how hard to or how hard not to” part of the conversation and that’s just a tiny bit of what I took away from this. I LOVE HER & we don’t have to agree (NO ONE IN AMERICA HAS TO? All feel the same on politics, clothes etc BUT GOD MADE US ALL THAT WAY TO BE DIFFERENT. Free will (even if we don’t like someone else’s is a great thing!!!) we have the freedom still to vote for Republicans or Democrats or whatever and many places don’t even have that!!!! I’ve been on mission trips!!! And my stepmom is from Puerto Rico. BUT I love to talk to people (all ages, sexes, ways of life, cultures, etc) and truly listen to their stories and she said it good that “MOST.....key words” LOL 😂 GENERALLY have the right heart aspect when they do or support what THEY/or we think is right!!!!! My parents just very much taught my brother & I early on time READ listen get educated on things etc. ANYWAYS SHE IS AWESOME!!!!! I it was a freak thing on me getting to meet her at Ft Worth I THINK about 5 years ago and she is off screen what she is on!!!! And she was so kind to me and NO ONE WAS AROUND so she didn’t have to be a “certain way” as IVE heard MANY say ugly things about her and sorry THEY ARE JUST JEALOUS!!!!! Or mean!!!!! Like she said “get off the couch & try it yourself!!!” IVE been raised riding and around some of the nicest horse flesh and I can barely make it to some regular added $$$ shows and how much mental & physical toil is on you!!! And I swear if I wasn’t afraid of someone screwing one of my horses up I would hand the reins over and say you get up there and go even try to make it in the alleyway with this one or make the pattern good on this other one etc and my colt oh geez......my great trainer uncle who passed away said just watch someone like her or Brittany Pozzi or Sherry Cervi etc and or just a local great rider on their “awesome winning horses” then go watch a colt run and man will that not humble you AND show how hard it is!!!! I would choke someone who tried to “give their unsolicited advice on me & my runs” 🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈 I know I got off topic BUT AGAIN THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHO IS JUDGE ETC!!!!!! And she is soooooooo much more!!!! And this podcast (but I prefer watching then like this) is so awesome!!! KEEP IT UP CONRADO!!!!!!!!!!

[@channongard4396]

Great interview. Fallon is an AMAZING teacher!😍

[@nedrasmith2493]

I have to say “THANK YOU SO MUCH” for the unfiltered series. You were I have always thought was a very good Barrel racer who dressed kinda wild. Lol. Now I know more and admire you so much. I had a severe heart attack in 2011 and was coded 4 times. The docs kept telling my husband that I was not going to make it. He kept telling them I would walk out. He sat in ICU with me pretty much 24 hours a day. 5 days in he had an MI too. Both left in 2 weeks to come home. Both walked out. Thank Jesus. My spouse sold all my horses. I gave the last saddle I won to my nieces and loaned my new saddle to my Granddaughter. Now I’m looking for another horse and going after my saddle. Life is too short to sit in the house for 10 years and “be careful” despite occasionally having seizures and getting old. May not be doing anything but going to jackpots, but I’ve still got my Gold Card just in case. My want to has come back from you and the series from you. THANK YOU IS NOT ENOUGH.

[@bethstanleyjones1561]

The fake sponsors! Yes I’m here for it!! Just like I’m here for Fallon Taylor 😎

Fallon has been a huge inspiration for me.. I found her Unfiltered videos on You Tube while I was in the hospital recoving from a broken upper arm (shattered into tiny pieces.. (fell off learning to canter in the dressage saddle) I was thinking of giving up riding and selling my horse.. After hearing her story.. I felt if she can overcome a TBI and not being able to walk and still be successful.. I could do this.

[@staceyspangler219]

You know what you guys are hitting on and talking about is straight up I was raised in rodeo and you know we had the same kind of deal when I left out I had my own truck it was an old GMC an old trailer but we had top notch horses that were some of the best and still are in the industry and I knew Fallon when she was a little girl when Um and I've just really admired the fact that I feel like sometimes our lives like parallel a lot of the same things have happened except I've not been able to go the NFR I've had a horse go the NFR but I'm that person that sits back in this ride and all those cults for other people to go and keep thinking I get some out here and there and then I hide for a while and then I get some out here and there but I just want to say it's I think because we're believer and we're grounded and we know what life truly is So I appreciate the realness and all the rest of it you just gotta let go by because one thing my dad said you're never a hero in your own backyard and that's a lot of truth to it but I think when you get older especially you find what's real in this world and it's nice to have if you would cut from the same cloth

👉🏼I lick to listen to the GAUGE pod cast and is really interesting what you find out from dose famous people in my eyes where the come from and what the hade to do to get there. 👉One day I was sitting at home on a raining day not to be able to do anything and I tern on the TV and lesson to Fallon Taylor hole life story to get where she is to day, and he my opinion she is the Queen of Rodeo in my generation and why I have so much respect for here is be cose she don't take the credit for here self she shares it made the teem who help here to get there where she is and shares here knowledge made the younger generation and she don't go by horses who already have a name for there self she raises here on horses 👍👍👍.

[@sleavitt5135]

Just a note. As someone who helps put rodeos on you all have to realize we in a small community aren't working with the world of rodeo we are working with our community and sometimes those communities don't have money to add more and more to the rodeo. Also that same community is ask to give to the soccer club and the basketball club and the football club so in order to sponsor the whole community all the funds are limited. We should just be lucky they work their butts off to have a rodeo.

Fallon says don't go to rodeo to make friends but I think if she had a friendship like Emily and Ivy and Hailey have she would think differently. I get it though that she came up in the game young and it was a different experience for her coming along.

[@joeymadnessspears67]

She has her own special group that she rodeos with 🥰 I think from different things she's said, she's had her own struggles with people being fake friends & things like that.

[@lisamcgee4058]

Fallon horses cost what somebody is willing to pay for it. Thoroughbred stud fees for top stallions are being discounted. A two year old bought for $250,000 at auction is sold as a broodmare prospect for $71,500 two years later and $1500 by age seven and bought by a kill buyer at auction by age ten. I was into Arabians working at Lasma South for the LaCroix's and watched people pay $400,000 for horses with genetic defects, crippled, crazy, and one gentleman who bought 4 for $1.4 million and on my last day of employment his last horse died of colic at the UofF large animal veterinary hospital. He lost all 4 in three weeks of colic. People who overpay have no common sense. A $500 horse can break a leg as easily as a $250,000 horse. A horse doesn't change because what someone is foolish enough to pay. A homebred can win as easily as a $100,000 champion.

[@staceyspangler219]

Oh boy I wouldn't have touched it but you guys open the door for it I'll tell you why the horse value is gone the way it has is because we quit canning horses and don't get me wrong I'm not a person that would go send and horses down to kill him to make horse market right but it used to be there was a value even on that horse that saw his last day and it kept the value of a good Saddle Horse Ranch horse kept the value of a good show horse except the Value Inn on talking now there's a lame horses lame horses it shouldn't be out there with little kids riding them but as a person who has raced horses my whole life and it's been generationally in ride our own and so and other people to ride him and go make money that I don't get to make on them we've had to watch this and we could have had 50 million horses since they shut those canners down and it forced us to do these off-the-wall things since I always think in a box right like the Mustang challenges and the Thoroughbred thing and we deal a lot with a thoroughbred industry and there's a lot of horses that have no value because it's like McDonald's there just throw away now
