WHAT I LOOK FOR IN A BARREL HORSE! BUYING OR BREEDING

[@kayleerae3383]

When Harlow is older, you can tell Fallon is going to spoil the hell out of that little girl. She loves her so much it’s so cute.

[@kyliebradford9739]

kaylee rae u know she will be getting her a mini pony as soon as she can walk 😂

[@Morgan-or4qz]

Lol

[@Morgan-or4qz]

@@kyliebradford9739 yes

[@erika527]

Kylie Bradford maybe even before 😂😂

[@gd2234_]

Barrel Racer probably before so they can train it up perfectly for her😂

[@tieganjohnson3818]

I'm glad you acknowledged that beginners should find a horse that knows more than they do. That's the first thing I tell people when they ask me to teach them how to barrel race.

[@rosescott3559]

I have a draft/paint horse who did everything else but barrel race and he was very terrified of the barrels but after a few months of getting him used to the barrels and going under him and around them he was not afraid of them and now our best time is a 15.6 and I am very proud of him

[@sarahzinderman7794]

I use a draft/paint that I use for cowboy mounted shooting, she doesn't look like it but she is a speed demon. I just started her under a year ago and our best time is a 18 second clean run. I love her to bits

[@ParisSophieEquestrian]

I love the "learning a foreign language at the same time you're teaching it" analogy! I've never thought of it that way but heck it is so true!

[@oldkingspook]

Success is a curtain. Most people only see the glamor, forgetting the blood, sweat, and tears on the other side. I appreciate you not sugar-coating what a grind it can be.

[@mistyc1836]

Gems I found in this vlog: “Pioneers are the ones with arrows in their back.” “There’s no need to set myself up for roadblocks.”

[@maezapernick7667]

Truth

[@eparker893_7]

“If your learning to fly a plane you don’t start with backflips you focus on getting it off the ground”😊

[@destinyscroggs2099]

“Imagine having to learn a foreign language while teaching it to someone else at the very same time. It’s almost impossible and you’ll make a lot of mistakes”

[@caylee5502]

Fallon gives so many good quotes. I have so many written down lol

[@user-uc3ro3jr8e]

People who love Fallon and her 🐎 👇🏽

[@sarawolf7084]

Like beggar

[@carsonwhite9706]

I love her and her horses so much

[@taylorgilmore853]

I like that you're sorta kicking it back and doing some more of these "deep dive" videos about your personal experiences while on quarentine. I love watching you run at rodeos, but I also love these thinky pieces too.

[@tessagrasel4879]

Thank you for attempting to frame horse buying and training with realistic expectations and compassion for the horse first! Also pearlsnap might be my new favorite horse name ever

[@Elena_Serrano]

I totally agree with her, I have a beautiful gelding palomino but sadly he has asthma. But that's fine I ride him perfectly fine just I know when enough is enough.

[@madisonschack5106]

i like what you were saying at 24:30. THE HORSE IS NOT STUPID at least most the time some are a little special but horses definitely know how to test people and see what they can get away with.

[@kimburkholder1147]

I would love to see you buy a horse somewhere and watch the progress.

[@fawnstandifer8385]

Kimberly Burkholder I’m pretty sure she knows what she’s talking about lol

[@malloryhendrickson9153]

She has rescued horses and shown their progress and Rn she has a horse from the kill pen who she is working on to do barrels

[@trishwheatcraft7049]

These tips are extremely helpful! I just lost my horse because she just wasn’t working right for us so these tips will be extremely helpful when I start looking for the right horse for me!

[@emmajungheim5412]

I love hearing your humor and kindness!!

[@alessaleigh9602]

I would love a video on how you start a young horse, from lunging to starting under saddle!!! These tips were so good!!

[@summercarlson7550]

I run Mustangs, hancock bred appendix quarter horses, and paints! I choose horses that are 14.2-15 hands and very athletic. I love smaller horses I find they give more heart. ❤️

[@channongard4396]

I love this! Thank you! Could you do a vlog on bringing Sunday Brunch back to condition as well? I know she's a bit older and that would be valuable to those of us with older horses as well😘

[@NYLADY13601]

Excellent and sound advice! Too many people judge the horse based on whether or not it has papers and that's just wrong.

[@lexiebarth344]

All I need in a barrel horse is speed, no bucking, calm, easy to ride, and sweet ones. I love my horse and nothing can replace him he is the best barrel horse I have ever met he has helped me learn a lot we get our second barrel down we will be unstable he might not be hiper when I’m at shows but he has speed and he is calm he is all I need

[@ironwolf1556]

Yes more training videos please!! I need more help with training my horse and how to be a better rider.

[@DixonShowStables]

As a horse trainer I really appreciate you putting it out there that the horse is only going to stay as good as the person riding it. Every time you are touching the lead rope you are either training or untraining it. That is so true and not many people understand that. The horse is going to take time to adapt to new environments and routines and will not be the same exact horse as when it left the sale barn. Something I have implemented is every horse that leaves my barn whether a sale or people taking it home from training, I make a video explaining what it knows, how I cue it to do those things, and the equipment that I’m using. That way if Sally takes it home and says it knows nothing she can look back at the video and see that it has been trained and how it was going when it left. I truly appreciate you bringing light into that in this video.

[@hannahhance3157]

Im starting barrels and your videos help me alot and I'm from Idaho so ill never get the chance to meet you but the chance that you might read this makes my day

[@marymartin8763]

Fallon is helping me keep sane during quarantine 😂😂 thank you!!!!

[@micheledavenport9619]

I so agree.. I had a mare Welsh pony that was very sassy. But when I took her out if I gave her the reins that girl could fly and loved it...

[@abbyjulius6225]

Talking about your horses, I was looking at horses, and I came across one and his description, it's said that it was a half brother to baby flow and his stallion was doctor Nick bar

[@milliea6853]

I recently just bought my dream barrel horse, she is everything I’ve wanted, and I am so grateful💕💕

[@lisasexton7903]

loved this, love the knowledge I gained from this. Thanks and do more of these informative and educational ones. Maybe one to help if you have a horse with bad habits and how to help with that.

[@njcnina]

I love that you said something about quarter horses cause not a lot of people know that about this breed. Love you. Keep educating people. 🐴

[@lyvequinehorsesandminiatur7604]

Fallon, I think we need a video introducing every single one of your horses! I cannot keep up

[@isaholly5079]

Love love this video! It is so true horses act different depending on the owner. I’ve definitely experienced that first hand with my horse. It’s incredible how love and hard work can change a horse and even a person for the better!💕

[@Dimes4DaDevil]

Best info on barrels horses. FT knows her job as a breeder/racer. This is a Good One. Smart Smart Smart. Than you guys.

[@kathrynbriscoe3901]

I have binge watched several vlogs since first stumbling on your vlogs through your purchase of Dupe. I live in Kansas and follow the Peabody kill pen. We need to encourage more people to look to these horses to meet their equine goals. I especially liked this vlog that discusses what you look for. I don’t race but find the tips you give on horse training and personal goal setting and perseverance of merit. I appreciate your promotion of helmets. I appreciate your philosophy to find the greatest potential for that horse and not force him/her to be something unattainable. I am looking forward to see Dupe’s progress. I appreciate you make it well known that lots of hard work is involved irregardless of pedigree.

[@Yeahyeahblahblah]

Please do more videos like these girl! I love them! Is so informative. Im a newish rider and im fairly inexperienced and id like to get back into the horse world around HEALTHY and positive and safe horse people this time, and i love learning! Thanks God bless xoxoxox

[@allisonredman7598]

I really liked this vlog because I’ve never looked into the build of a horse that in depth when buying a horse. I really liked to see how you look at a horse and how you expect a horse to preform due to their build. Great vlog!!❤️

[@stormygirl17]

I've had an Appy/TB that was my 1st barrel/gymkhana horse & she was amazing. My grandma & I trained her on the patterns in the beginning. ♡ Then my next one was an Arabian/Mustang. When we got her she was already a finished Barrel/Pole horse. Was just a natural on the gymkhana events too. I prefer crosses, never purebreds. They're just not for me lol.

[@anniewhite5627]

I love your videos you’re the one who inspired to start barrel racing even though I don’t barrel race any more but I ride cutting horses know and it so much fun u should try it butI still look up to u

[@toriwilson458]

You’re like one of the first pro barrel racer that I ever heard “if they don’t have papers who cares”💕

[@melissaaponte6871]

I really wanna see u buy a horse from somewhere and train it! Please do! I love what I do, you inspire me to work with horses more. Seeing u on KZbin makes my day!

[@miatiffin1215]

I don’t know if Fallon will see this comment but I just want to say how much I love you. My best friend Madisyn has met you before and now I really want to meet you. Thank you for being such an inspiration

[@ChantelBartges]

Thank you Jesus for Fallon Taylor and your videos. Gives me something to look forward to.

[@maggiegrebner2833]

I have horses too and I barrel race as well and I love watching your videos. I saw u run in Fort Madison Iowa rodeo and have been watching you since. I love you so much stay safe.

[@Guitar42]

Awesome video I’m going to look at a barrel horse today so excited your a big inspiration and help

[@kallielawson4367]

Yaasss! Do the horse training! Who cares if you didn’t end up giving it away, would just be an amazing experience to watch!

[@lesliesmith9169]

Fallon, the first quarter horse: Janus, was a thoroughbred of proportions that made it a sprinter par excellence

[@kymnikolajuk8726]

In the next 1-2 years I want to look for a better barrel horse and knows what do and has more experience in barrel racing so this really helped me thx fallon and horses 💞💞💞

[@taylorsharpton1756]

I acquired two AQHA mares. Both for under two thousand. Both of them are jam up pole horses and can run with the best of them! However, they both came to me with hangups and it took hours upon hours of working with them to fix them! Plus a good vet, farrier and feeding schedule.

[@hannaht4613]

This is absolutely one of my fav videos so far!! So helpful! Thanks!

[@meganrace6511]

Congratulations! Awesome run, Fallon!!

[@chillilefanu]

Birdcatcher Spots and BendOr Spots! BIRDCATCHER SPOTS are white spots that can appear on a coat. Famously named after the tb stallion Birdcatcher who presented this phenotype. They are suspected to be genetically linked, hence why a lot of horses that present Birdcatcher spots are linked back to the namesaked stallion, but there are some other lines that may contribute to the spots aswell. BENDOR SPOTS are the black spots on the red based horses that Fallon referred too. Similar to Birdcatcher Spot, as they were also named after the tb stallion, BendOr. But there is currently no rhyme or reason as to why they occur 😊🥰

[@navyash106]

I fully understand, we breed Frysians and they are great at dressage if you have the right bloodline and stuff but I also enjoy show jumping and you can jump on frysians but you will never get to the 1,40 level so for that we bought a KWPN horse (royal dutch horse) for the show jumping.

[@phantomwrangler]

I would love to see Fallon adopt a Mustang and turn it into a barrel horse.

[@WolfCreekRanch-jm8cx]

What do you think of a mustang being a barrel horse?

[@katiebug7014]

I mean you do you boo boo

[@silverstreakd5134]

Well, you know it would take longer to train, but you never know your Mustang could be an amazing barrel racing if you do lots of training!

[@savannabroussard55]

Does she/he have good speed and stops well, if so go for it!!!

[@itsemilee1502]

Most athletic horse I ever had was a buckskin blm mustang. She was built like a really nice quarter horse.

[@rayjump6096]

One of the fastest and toughest horses I've ever ran against in the circuit was a BLM mustang.

[@allybucknam9593]

Could you please do a full barn tour? When you show all the horses not just the recognizable ones? Maybe say which ones you might sell and which you won’t?

[@fallontaylor]

I won’t sell any but loco. I have shown all the horses in many vlogs. If you see one that you think I haven’t shown it’s because it’s just a broodmare or a training horse I do not own! :)

[@caitlinard4182]

Love this! Very informative. I feel like I definitely hit it on the money with the 4 year old mare I bought earlier this month after watching this!

[@katiemcpherson6121]

YAAAAAAS to a Craigslist horse training series!

[@amandaarnold3096]

This is probably my favorite vlog y’all have done.

[@hanahjohnson]

I'm so yearly I love u so much!!! U r my idol!!! I love these videos and the barn hacks please do more.

[@meganrakisits2572]

I think it would be cool if you got an unhandled mustang and trained it!

[@alliesmith2103]

Megan Grove yess

[@daniellewelch5860]

I have one that would be an AMAZING barrel horse. But most are overbred qh. Sorry

[@tracykathaleenward560]

We wanna see you buy a horse and train it and show us the details , Fallon! ❤️ you and what you do and stand for

[@Rubyrulestheworld09]

I finally watched a video in the first 10 minutes it was posted YAY

[@charameyer9596]

Same!!!

[@brandedblondie]

thanks for your advice and tips fallon, these were so so helpful & great advice! ☺️

[@kathleenp7641]

I don't rodeo or show my horse at all but he is an appendix too and I love that combo so so so so much he is so sweet with my young cousins and so gentle with me up on his back

[@taylorhice9627]

I had to watch this 2 times cus it was so much great info!!! Me and my family are not horse breeders but we are going to buy a prospect really soon so this helped me a little!!

[@sabrinageisel2711]

Thank you for being really honest and real! More people need to be 😊 great info and keep it comin!

[@victoriamyers9319]

A story time video of how you met Jessie and Cody would be cool 😎

[@shiannarose8133]

I have 2 Standardbreds that I do barrel racing on, 1 is an expacer and the other is just a standy but they love to run barrels they do very well I have place first in a few rodeos but I don’t compete at pro level just local rodeos and they really seem to enjoy it. It did take alit of training but any breed is able to do whatever you want as long as you have time and patience. Also I love the content Fallon definitely my favourite barrel racer 😁

[@togetherwefly1762]

This new intro gives me chills every time.

[@torileblanc8287]

Literally love this video! Very interested in genetics and breeding and blood lines so this was right up my alley! Would love to hear which studs you are crossing on which mares this year!

[@jessicac6055]

would love love love to see you buy a horse and document the process of evaluating, buying and training

[@Itslex56]

I would love to see you do that challenge!!! I think it would be amazing to watch! Love your channel!❤🐴🐴😊😁🙌😃

[@ceceosborn176]

Yes. Birdcatcher spots, are the white spots from a tb stallion name Birdcatcher. The dark spots are called Bend Or spots, from a tb stallion named Bend Or

[@jodimaguire5604]

My horse is a barrel racer, and I have been barrel racing on her, I only just learnt how to canter around the barrels because I wanted to do it a lot now and my 12.1 hand pony is teaching me because when I make a mistake she tells me and I try again.

[@zahbreynabates9927]

Yay!! I want to start barrel racing soon!

[@lindasmith3136]

Thanks, this video really says a lot of REAL truth. Like "grow together" is a BAD idea. .....I've heard that so many times! Sweet bed-time story, but unrealistic and big novice move. Usually doesn't work our well!🐎 Also, enjoyed seeing your herd up close and personal! Bloodline back stories, very interesting, good luck with upcoming babies!

[@tinabrooks8001]

Yes! Would love to see you buy a horse- take Us with you!

[@Somebodyyoudontknoww]

Thank You! Now I now what to do with my Barrel horse Vanity!

[@mackwhelan5351]

You would love my horse she’s a 15 Hh sprint quarter horse and she’s a very different colour she’s sort of in between dirty pal and buckskin. She’s got like a silvery mixed mane and tail and her coat is like a nugget colour

[@rodeo-rancher8310]

Sounds like she kinda sounds like Latigo dun it, don't you think that babyflo and Latigo would make a beautiful foal?

[@breannagentry3100]

Thank you so much Fallon!

[@kristicoleman2099]

you probably changed it awhile ago but I LOVE the new entrance video

I love Loko😍🔥 he might be my new fav🙊 literally what I look for in a horse❤️

[@kennedyclark1449]

I have the perfect little makeover horse!! She’s 13, small, and I have no clue what breed but she’s not gated! Palomino in color and HARD feet. She is green but no buck. She would make for an awesome “makeover” type and then go on to be someone’s forever horse!!

[@karlasmall7895]

I completely understand I also believe that each horse has a special place bc not all horses are made to do barrels or jumping I’ve got a ottb he has a western pleasure gate

[@LittleCountryCabin]

Great advice!! Spot on!😉. Yes Yes Yes I want to see the challenge🤠

[@ellaneilson9825]

[@ellotisirandoperson1243]

I’ve done your filter a million times and I keep getting chuck and flobot!!!! 😂

[@lvictoria8776]

Can you make a video please about overcoming your fear of riding after breaking your neck?? I had a riding accident last summer and broke my shoulder, and I'm trying to overcome my fear, but it's still there. It honestly makes me not enjoy riding as much! I find myself making excuses not to ride sometimes.

[@trishwheatcraft7049]

Also what kind of bits do you typically use for your horses? You should totally do a video tutorial on what kind of bits you use and would suggest!

[@toniasingletary1624]

I enjoy your vlogs so much ❤️

[@jazminebohanan1317]

Bet Hesa Cat is a really nice stallion! Great pick!

[@horsesandhounds7883]

Its sorta like halflingers. They can be pretty versitile in general. BUT I have some do amazing in driving and others do amazing at jumping. NOW imo it is good for a horse to learn a few new things. Like sure if you want teaching any horse to jump 2 foot or do something like liberty or ground if its sound and capable can be a good enrichment and change of pace.

[@evielouttit2707]

She has inspired me so much

[@jolieschmid8683]

My Quarter Horse was trained Western and is built like a barrel racer (even has that “fast booty” which he definitely uses). However, he has been turned towards Eventing, and while he may not have the best build for it, he loves being out on the course. We don’t expect him to jump over a meter, but he certainly thinks he can.

[@bellapardi4738]

Yesss! Please get a very untrained horse and train it!!! I would LOVE to see that! Also, I love you and your videos Fallon!
