Early Life and Rodeo Beginnings
Born in Tampa, Florida, Taylor discovered her passion for rodeo at age seven. Her family relocated to Texas to support her horsemanship, where she began training under legendary barrel racer Martha Josey. Taylor joined the WPRA at eight years old and achieved national prominence when she qualified for her first National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in 1995 at just 13 years old. She qualified for four consecutive NFRs from 1995 to 1998 and earned major victories, including winning RodeoHouston as a teenager.
Injury, Comeback, and World Titles
After taking a break from competition to work in modeling and acting, Taylor returned to Texas to resume riding. In 2009, she suffered a near-fatal training accident that fractured her C-2 vertebra and caused temporary paralysis. Following a long recovery, she returned to competitive rodeo with her home-trained mare Flos Heiress, affectionately known as 'Babyflo'. The pair qualified for three more NFRs from 2013 to 2015, bringing Taylor's career total to seven qualifications. In 2014, Taylor claimed the WPRA Barrel Racing World Championship while wearing a protective helmet, sparking a widespread safety movement across Western disciplines. She also won the 2018 AQHA World Championship with Babyflo.

She launched apparel and tack businesses, including Ranch Dress'n, and collaborated with safety equipment companies to design branded equestrian helmets. Inducted into the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame in 2024, she continues to train horses, manage her businesses, and publish instructional content for hundreds of thousands of followers.
