It started with five acres, two parents’ determination that their kids would grow up with a connection to the natural world…and a pony named Stormy.

This year, Lang’s Horse & Pony Farm is celebrating half a century of connecting Skagitonians with the beauty of our Magic Skagit surroundings as uniquely experienced on the backs horses and ponies.

In this Tales of the Magic Skagit podcast episode we learn the story of Lang’s Horse & Pony Farm from the daughter of its founders, Lola Lang. Lola recallsf how her parents, Dolores and Harry, settled on a piece of land off Little Mountain Road and through additional purchases of neighboring acreage created “a place that anyone could come experience ponies and horses within the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.” It’s a heart warming story of how a business model can grow out of doing what you love and wanting to share that joy with others.
