On this episode of Horses, Hope & Hustle, Crystal sits down with David Sharp of Sharp Performance Horses to talk about the process, patience, and perspective it takes to build a program over time.

David shares his journey from being a young two-year-old guy learning the ropes to now training and competing futurity rope horses at a high level. We talk about the long days, the lessons learned the hard way, and the importance of remembering why you started when the pressure and expectations grow.

This conversation is grounded in gratitude — for the horses, the opportunities, and the privilege of making a living doing what you love. It’s a reminder that success isn’t just about results in the arena, but about staying humble, staying hungry, and never losing sight of the passion that started it all.
