She sustained a four-place skull fracture, broke numerous facial bones and broke her C-2 vertebrae-the same injury that paralyzed late actor Christopher Reeve-from the accident.
Helmet awareness is an important and personal crusade for Taylor who suffered a broken neck after getting bucked off a horse in 2009. Taylor has been helping pave the way for helmet acceptance in the rodeo circuit ever since, a sport where cowboy hats are heavily favored over safety helmets. Taylor, a former model and actress, shocked onlookers when she emerged in the third round of the NFR in 2014 wearing a helmet and became the first NFR champion to win while sporting the safety gear.
Troxel LLC, the worldwide leader in ASTM/SEI-certified equestrian helmets, has partnered with 2014 National Finals Rodeo (NFR) World Champion, Fallon Taylor to design a signature line of equestrian helmets and will be sponsoring the rider in an effort to help promote helmet awareness and rider safety.
