Tie-Down Roping Host Taylor Vollin

Hailing from Salinas, California, Taylor brings a wealth of rodeo knowledge and a deep-rooted passion for the industry. Having grown up immersed in rodeo culture and now engaged to a calf roper, Taylor’s journey from competitor to journalist has given her a unique perspective on calf roping.

Together, the new Breakdown Podcast hosts represent a blend of backgrounds and expertise that promise to deliver comprehensive coverage of tie-down and breakaway roping.
