Talks with ARIAT Team Rider – Shane Kenny
We have all heard stories about larger than life blokes from the bush, no-nonsense men with fists the size of dinner plates whose reputations are even bigger and proceed with them everywhere they go. Well, you are about to hear another, meet Ariat Team Rider Shane Kenny. An Australian Steer Wrestling Champion!
Shane likes to throw himself from a perfectly good horse going flat out and wrestle steers to the ground using his bare hands…for fun! Hailing from Emerald he’s a 13-time APRA all-around cowboy, 11-time rope and tie champion holding the record at 7.2 seconds and 3-time APRA Steer Wrestling champion. Credentials don’t come much more impressive than that.
Shane has been with ARIAT as a sponsored Team Rider for some years now. Heading along to events like this one, Beef Week in Rockhampton to regularly catch up with the latest news via the bush telegraph. This also gives Shane the opportunity to pick out some new Ariat gear, meet up with a few familiar faces and put on a show for Steer wrestling fans.
Don’t forget to check out Episode 61 of the Campr series for all the action on Steer Wrestling at Beef Australia. Ariats amazing range of product is almost as big as Shane! Boots, Buckles, Belts, Jeans and Jackets in a huge range of styles. But you don’t need to come to Beef Week in Rocky, there are plenty of stores stocking this gear right around the country.
