Taylor has a lifelong history with the sport, as one of the youngest contestants to ever qualify for the National Finals Rodeo (NFR).<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_16,w_1440,h_810\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/voltaxMediaLibrary\/mmsport\/rodeo_daily\/01kjzht6jq5eh08ab6kv.jpg\" alt=\"Fallon Taylor and Puma\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Taylor began making YouTube videos detailing her adventures and daily life, long before \u201cvlogging\u201d was popular. Wanting to offer insight into the life of a rodeo athlete, Taylor began recording many aspects of her day-to-day. The channel has now grown to 259,000 subscribers and millions of views.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Along with creating social media content and vlogs, Taylor dedicated the past few years to building her businesses. The clothing line, Ranch Dressn, has been a massive hit, and Tacktical is the complementary line of tack and equine gear. Today, her products can be seen at nearly every barrel race, rodeo, and equine event across the country.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\"><em>If you like our content,\u00a0<\/em><em>choose Sports Illustrated as a preferred source on Google<\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Taylor\u2019s Recent Health Challenges<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">After years of building her online presence and businesses, Taylor is no stranger to hard conversations and difficult topics. When she released the behind-the-scenes series\u00a0<em>Unfiltered<\/em>in 2020, Taylor gave a deeper glimpse into what life was like beyond the camera lens.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_75,w_1440,h_810\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/voltaxMediaLibrary\/mmsport\/rodeo_daily\/01kjzk6rk1sk94nmqpqg.jpg\" alt=\"Taylor poses with her bay mare, Puma\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">While she had been creating her usual positive content and rodeoing across the U.S., Taylorwas going through the loss of her mother, and a serious health scare with her World Champion mount, Flos Heiress (\u201cBabyflo\u201d). The series was a raw reminder that what we see online does not show the full picture of someone\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Taylor strives to inspire her followers, sharing adventures from the rodeo road, the breeding barn, running her businesses, and life with her husband and son. Although her focus is to uplift, Taylor does not shy away from tough topics and is passionate about speaking up.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Recently, Taylor shared in-depth on social media about a personal health scare and undergoing surgery.

The surgery was initially scheduled for September 2026, so she could pursue her rodeo ambitions, but her symptoms continued to escalate, and it became clear that waiting was not an option.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">When Taylor began to suspect there was something amiss with her health, she underwent a series of blood tests. There is no definitive test for breast implant illness, but the tests revealed that she was suffering from multiple secondary conditions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/BarrelRacing1823-jb.jpg\" alt=\"Cheyenne Frontier Days Barrel Racing\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\">Taylor shared that she had developed Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto\u2019s Thyroiditis, and was suffering from extended, high fevers.
