Cody Crow traces his roots back to a childhood where horses weren't a hobby, they were a way of life. Growing up, Cody and his family started all their own horses and raised quality stock, but his mom would occasionally come home from the sale with horses out of the loose pen. From there, Cody and his brothers would draw straws to see who got what and spend the winter training them up before selling in the spring. That money became their rodeo money and that experience became the foundation of everything. Cody credits those early years with giving him the ability to ride and train a wide variety of horses. He didn't come up through the horse show world. He came up through ranching and rodeo, learning through the school of hard knocks and figuring things out the hard way. That background shaped not just his horsemanship but his work ethic and perspective on the industry. From there, Cody talks about how his training career developed through college and beyond, touching on the realities of instant gratification, work-life balance, and what it actually takes to build a career in this industry. His message is simple: see the opportunity in front of you and work your tail off to make the most of it.
