What Is Hitching Post Supply? Brand Story, Products, and Location
Updated
Hitching Post Supply is a Western lifestyle supplier now based in Burns, Oregon, operating under new owners Sam and Jess Hedges. It sells horsehair and mohair goods, cowboy gear, music and media, and apparel, with an emphasis on handmade over factory-produced items. If you're looking for tack-room supplies, Western gifts, or cowboy culture media, this is the kind of shop to check — but note that the site shows limited detail on shipping and payment options, so confirm those before ordering.
Where Hitching Post Supply Is Located
The brand has moved to Harney County, Oregon. According to the site, HPS now sits on the main drag in Burns at The Palace:
260 N Broadway Ave Suite C, Burns, Oregon
That's a physical storefront, not just a warehouse, so local pickup or in-person browsing may be possible — though the site doesn't state pickup policies, so ask directly if that matters to you.
What Hitching Post Supply Sells
The catalog spans several categories tied to horse and cowboy life:
| Category | Examples from the site |
|---|---|
| Horsehair & mohair goods | Braided tack and related supplies |
| Gear | Rawhide bosal with gap, 8-ply braid, rawhide core, sizes 1/4" to 3/4" |
| Media & books | Bring 'Em On Home cookbook (hardcover, 2010, 200+ recipes) |
| Apparel | Corduroy ball cap, embroidered foam trucker patch hat |
| Cowboy music | Listed among the shop's offerings |
The bosal listing is a useful example of how the shop presents gear: it names the construction (8-ply braid, rawhide core), lists available sizes, and states the item is in stock and ready to ship. That level of spec detail is what you'd want to check on any braided rawhide or horsehair item, since braid count and core material affect feel and durability.
The Brand's Philosophy
The site's welcome text is unusually direct about values. It states the brand believes in:
- Handmade over factory-produced — a stated preference, not just a marketing line
- Big circles, wet saddle blankets, and chasing dreams — rodeo and ranch imagery
- Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
- Love for God, country, and fellow man
For buyers, the practical takeaway is that this is a lifestyle-driven shop rather than a generic drop-shipper. If you want mass-produced tack at the lowest price, that's not the pitch here. If you want small-shop, hand-finished goods with a Western identity, it fits.
What to Know Before Buying
A few things the site makes clear, and a few it doesn't:
Clear from the site:
- New ownership: Sam and Jess Hedges
- Physical location in Burns, Oregon
- Some items are in stock and ready to ship (the bosal, for instance)
- Prices are listed per item, with shipping calculated at checkout
Not stated on the site:
- Payment methods accepted
- Shipping rates, carriers, or delivery timelines
- Return or exchange policy
- Whether in-store pickup is offered
Because those details aren't published, treat them as open questions. If you're ordering a sized item like a bosal, confirm the size chart and exchange terms before checkout — sized rawhide and braided goods are the kind of purchase where a return policy matters.
Who This Shop Is For
Hitching Post Supply suits riders, ropers, and Western lifestyle buyers who value hand-braided rawhide and horsehair work, plus cowboy media and apparel as gifts. It's less suited to anyone who needs published shipping rates and return terms up front, or who wants a large, filterable e-commerce catalog — the site reads more like a small shop's storefront than a big-box tack retailer.
If you're nearby in Harney County, visiting at 260 N Broadway Ave Suite C in Burns is the most direct way to see the goods and get answers the website doesn't provide.
