ER EP.16 - In this episode, we sit down with Rider Kiesner and Bethany Iles!
Rider is a 2x world champion gun spinner and a 4x world champion trick roper. The western way of life has been in his blood since day 1, but performing was something that came with time and lots of practice. At 9 years old, he got a Will Rogers trick roping kit for Christmas, and the rest is history.
He has traveled the world, performing in different countries in front of thousands of people. His act would eventually evolve into adding a trick rider to the show. Bethany was the right pick; in fact, she happened to become the love of his life!
Bethany is a trick rider and has recently gotten more into Roman riding and liberty acts. Currently in the act, she assists Rider in some of his stunts, including letting him crack a flower out of her mouth with his whip!
