What Is Hitching Post Supply?

Updated

Hitching Post Supply is an online store specializing in horsehair, mohair, cowboy gear, and Western media. It is now based in Burns, Oregon, under new owners and operators Sam and Jess Hedges, and it emphasizes handmade goods over factory-produced items. If you're looking for rawhide tack, Western apparel, or cowboy-themed books and music, this is the kind of shop to check.

What the store sells

The product range centers on Western and ranch lifestyle goods, with a stated preference for handmade craftsmanship. From the site's featured listings, the catalog includes:

  • Rawhide tack — for example, a Rawhide Bosal with Gap, described as an 8-ply braid with a rawhide core, offered in sizes from 1/4" to 3/4" and listed as in stock and ready to ship.
  • Apparel — including items such as a corduroy ball cap and an embroidered foam trucker patch hat.
  • Books and media — for example, Bring 'Em On Home, a hardcover cookbook (copyright 2010) collecting over 200 recipes from famous rodeo cowboys and their families.

The site's own description also names horsehair, mohair, cowboy music, and gear as core categories, so the catalog extends beyond the featured items above.

Where it's located

The business has moved. According to the site, HPS now resides in Harney County, Oregon, and can be found on the main drag in Burns at The Palace:

260 N Broadway Ave Suite C, Burns, Oregon

This matters if you're local and want to visit in person rather than order online, or if you prefer to know the origin of a handmade purchase.

Who it's for

This shop suits buyers who:

  • Want handmade or small-production Western goods rather than mass-manufactured equivalents.
  • Are shopping for specific tack components, such as a rawhide bosal in a particular size.
  • Want rodeo and cowboy culture media, like cookbooks or music, as gifts or for their own collection.

If you need mainstream retail convenience, broad return policies, or fast mass-market shipping, a general retailer may fit better — the site's identity is built around specialty and handmade items.

Practical notes before buying

  • Check sizing carefully on tack. The rawhide bosal, for instance, comes in five widths (1/4" through 3/4"), and the correct choice depends on your horse and intended use.
  • Shipping is calculated at checkout, per the product listings, so factor that into your total.
  • Stock varies by item. Some products are marked in stock and ready to ship, while others show as sold out — availability is listed per product.
  • Prices are shown per item on the product pages; the site does not publish a general price list, so browse individual listings for current figures.
