Shane Proctor Holds The Rope For Team Blue-Emu

Online, July 27, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Blue-Emu is happy to announce sponsorship of Professional Bull Rider (PBR) Built Ford Tough Series (BFTS) rider Shane Proctor. With two career wins under his belt, Proctor has already racked up over $70,000 in BFTS winnings this year, and has had three top 5 finishes and eight top 10 finishes. He finished first at the Calgary Stampede 2011, scoring 91 on Calgary's Bomb's Away in the Final Four & taking home a six figure prize check. Proctor is currently ranked first in the PRCA standings with over $110,000 in earnings.

Proctor started his riding at the age of 3 on sheep, then learned to ride calves, and later steers. Originally his mother was against him riding bulls, but gave in with the stipulation he wear a helmet. "My mom made me ride with a helmet since I first started getting on and I have rode with one ever since. It has saved me on several occasions, and I think it's going to lengthen my career," he said. The Washington native currently resides in North Carolina with his wife Jessi, whose younger brother is fellow Blue-Emu PBR rider JB Mauney. Proctor & his wife also run a leather design company, focusing on customized leather riding accessories. "I'm excited to be on the Blue-Emu team. I mean, the other guys on the team are all great riders and they're great guys. Hopefully we'll do good for Blue-Emu this year."

Blue-Emu is also a proud sponsor of PBR veteran riders JB Mauney, LJ Jenkins & up-and-coming rider Matt Triplett along with the PBR Sports Medicine Team & the "Wreck of Night" videos featured in the arena, as well as on the Blue-Emu and PBR's homepages.
