Episode 2 of the Fargone Podcast brings listeners into an easygoing yet insightful conversation as Nolan Schneider and Reece Howden dive into the worlds of horses, training, hunting, archery, and backcountry preparation. What starts as a chat about horses quickly expands into a broader discussion about trust, patience, and the traditions that shape life in the outdoors.

The hosts explore the difference between breaking a horse and starting one, highlighting why creating a willing and confident partner, rather than a forced one, matters so deeply. They touch on the early challenges of backcountry travel with horses, the skills needed to prepare them, and the importance of consistency in training, from trailering to tying up to handling long days in unfamiliar terrain.

The conversation also meanders into hunting and archery, weaving in family stories, lessons learned growing up, and the ways preparation builds confidence. For both hosts, hunting is more than a pastime—it’s a tradition rooted in family, community, and connection, whether out in the backcountry or back home around Chilliwack.

Throughout the episode, Reece and Nolan return to recurring themes: preparation, trust, patience, and the value of passing traditions forward. It’s an episode grounded in real experience, offering listeners a thoughtful blend of stories, practical insights, and moments of reflection.
