Bos Saddlery — Custom Wade Saddles & Western Tack, Hamilton, Montana

Bos Saddlery builds custom Wade saddles and stocks a full line of western tack out of Hamilton, Montana, serving riders across the Bitterroot Valley — Corvallis, Stevensville, Victor, Darby, Lolo, and Missoula.

Launa Bos builds Wade saddles by appointment, measuring the horse before she starts. Each one is built on a Wade tree: a slick fork with a wood post horn, a thinner gullet, a low horn for dallying, and bars cut to spread weight evenly across the horse's back through long days of work.

Bos Saddlery is also a full tack shop — bits, headstalls, reins, cinches, saddle pads, ranch ropes, the works. Dealer lines include McCall Saddle Company, Martin, Circle Y, Pro Choice, Jeremiah Watt Products, Classic Equine, Five Star Equine, and Double Diamond, plus handmade pieces built in-house. A small selection of consignment saddles and used gear rounds out the shop.
