About Our Equine Operations
Hand-made saddles in barrel, roping, ranch association and Will James styles anchor the inventory at Connolly Saddlery, a Billings western wear and tack shop that has operated under family ownership since 1912. Current owners Dave and Barbara Wagner bring backgrounds in ranching and professional rodeo to the business, which also carries headstalls, bits, pads and leg gear, felt and straw hats in multiple shapes and sizes, and R. Watson boots for men. Operating from South 24th Street West, the store frames its mission as serving the horse industry with quality goods and personal service, an aim it states it has carried through more than a century of ownership changes.
