About Launa Bos
My name is Launa Bos, I was born and raised in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley in Montana. Ranching is a way of life here and quality equipment, is a very important tool in every day life. Unfortunately, our valley lacked quality horse equipment. In 2009, I decided to change all that. I opened a tack store that only carried high quality equipment. Much of my inventory is handmade by small business owners across the country. I also am a dealer for some of the most popular brands in the industry.
In 2012, a man named Bob Trezona came into my shop and we got to talking, and he told me he was a saddle maker. Bob made wade saddles and buckaroo gear of the highest quality. Bob and I became good friends and I was very fortunate that he was willing to teach me his trade. I apprenticed with Bob for about a year building my first saddle. I have been building saddles and quality equipment ever since. Bos Saddlery strives to cater to people who love riding and appreciate quality equipment.
