For barrel racers!! Do you prefer Fallon Taylor or Charmayne James?

Question

I think Fallon is great! But obviously Charmayne knows her stuff. In your opinions which is better? better trainer? better racer? better personality(if you have spoken or seen them). Anything ...just compare them. Id love to know what you all think and if there are other barrel racers that you think are better than these two.

Answer 1

Its going to take Taylor a few more years and a lot of wet saddle blankets to be anywhere near the same caliber as James.

Answer 2

Charmayne James, absolutely.  I was able to attend one of her clinics, and not only is she a fantastic barrel racer, but she is an incredible teacher.  Not many trainers/riders have the skills to make decent teachers.  She's very down to earth, easy to talk to, and gave my horse and me some great guidance.

Answer 3

Fallon Taylor

Answer 4

Charmayne James is way better, she really knows what she's doing.

Answer 5

Personally i think charmayne is better at all of the above. she really knows what she is doing and she kicks butt when it comes to turning. Fallon is good and has a good personality but is nothing against charmayne. shes been riding forever. but considering barrel racing is harder than people think, both are great at what they do. (but charmayne kicks some serious hiney)

Answer 6

Charmayne James!  It takes more then Fallons short life time to learn the ropes of being a true trainer!  JMHO

Answer 7

Charmayne James is clearly better, she knows what she is doing.
