Cheyenne Frontier Days Star Rider Kiesner Shines Bright [Video, Photos]

Rider Kiesner is a man with a passion for rodeo entertainment. He loves to share the arena with rodeo greats and entertaining the crowd with his trick roping and gun spinning—especially at Cheyenne Frontier Days.

Rider has been performing at the Daddy of 'Em All for six years. During that time, he has been all over the United States and the rest of the world. He is known for his daring fire whips, an act that actually had a mishap at Cheyenne Frontier Days a couple of years back. On that fateful day, his whips wrapped around his body and ignited his clothes. He ended up ripping his shirt off and finishing the show anyway. For Rider, the risk is just part of the business.

Rider will be performing every day during the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo.
