Trick roper will return to his Minnesota roots

Submitted photo

Professional trick roper Rider Kiesner will perform as partof the PRCA Rodeo at 7 p.m. Friday, April 22, andSaturday, April 23, and at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 24, as partof the Minnesota Horse Expo at the Minnesota StateFairground in Falcon Heights.

By Heidi ClausenRegional Editor | [email protected]

When he was 9 yearsold, Rider Kiesner got aWill Rogers trick-ropingkit for Christmas. It was aparticularly cold winter, sohe moved back the living-room furniture and startedpracticing in his parents’home.

He kept working on itany chance he got, and byage 11, he was performingat birthday parties and inprofessional rodeo.

“I got kind of good at it,”he said.

Fifteen years later, Kies-ner has his own Profes-sional Rodeo Cowboys As-sociation specialty act,wowing the masses withhis prowess in traditionalcowboy skills such as trickroping, gun spinning andwhip cracking.

Kiesner, a fth-genera-tion cowboy, comes bythese skills naturally: Hisgrandfather trained horsesin Buffalo, Minn. His dad,Phillip, also trained horsesthere, and his mom, Julie,was a barrel racer. Hisbrother, Roper, is a world-ranked bronc rider. Thefamily performed for a fewyears as the Kiesner FamilyWild West Revue.

Kiesner was born in Cal-ifornia but celebrates hisMinnesota roots and looksforward to having somefamily members in the au-dience when he performslater this month in therodeo at the MinnesotaHorse Expo.

“I’ll try not to mess up,”he said.

Since he got his PRCAcard when he was 18,Kiesner, now 24, hasbrought his Old Westshow to every state exceptHawaii and to 15 coun-tries, including China,Mexico, France and SouthKorea. He was en route toa show in Florida duringthis interview.

“I’ve been pretty lucky to

see the world like that,”said Kiesner, who oftentravels with his ashy

Palomino in tow.He grew up watching old

Western movies and enjoys

keeping that heritage alivethrough his show.

“I would like to say it at-tracts a lot of pretty girls,but I’d be lying,” jokesKiesner, who’s single. “I’mliving my childhood dreamof being a real cowboy. Icouldn’t imagine doinganything better than this.”

Becoming good at it re-quires a lot of practice.Kiesner said he also likesto surround himself withmentors and “the tools ofthe trade,” going so far asto carry a rope with himeverywhere except theshower.

Even with hours of prac-tice, things still don’t al-ways go according to plan,he said, describing a fewharrowing instances whenhe has caught on re whiledoing re whips.

There’s nothing specialabout his ropes or guns, hesaid, and he likes to change

up his show from time totime, experimenting withnew techniques. He honeshis hand-eye coordinationthrough activities such asjuggling, riding unicycleand playing with a yo-yo.

“Anything I can do to getkind of handy,” hesaid. “Anybody can reallydo anything if you work atit.”

All of Kiesner’s hardwork has paid off, as he’s atwo-time world champion

all-around Western per-former, four-time worldchampion trick roper, two-time world champion gunspinner, four-time Wran-gler National Finals Rodeospecialty act and ve-timeCheyenne Frontier DaysRodeo specialty act.

While he spends most ofhis time on the road, hetechnically calls Oklahomahome. His parents care forhis horses there when he’saway.

Wisconsin rodeo royalty to present at Midwest Horse FairBy Sevie Kenyon

Correspondent

DEERFIELD — If peo-ple think about Wisconsinthey're likely to make quickassociations with milk,cheese, beer and bratwurst butprobably not rodeo. Yet Wis-consin is home to a strongrodeo culture where you cannd events at every level.Rodeo has roots here androyal bloodlines you can fol-low back to Madison, of allplaces, and the Holmes NoOaks Ranch.

This is where Pam Boundgrew up with rodeo. Her fam-ily began producing rodeos atthe ranch in the town of Fitch-burg in 1949 and continued todo so until 1989, according tonewspaper accounts. Fridaynight was rodeo night in Madi-son, drawing fans from cityand country alike.

“My husband and I used totravel extensively throughoutthe United States rodeo(ing),”Bound said. “We spent a lot oftime in Missouri where theyhad a lot of events that weren'talways at the fairgrounds.”

About 25 years ago, the cou-ple faced a decision, “rodeoharder or build an arena.” Theylooked to Wisconsin and pur-chased ground outside of Deer-eld and built an equine icon,Bound's Showtime Arena.While Bound and her husbandhave parted ways, the opera-tion in Deereld has growninto the single biggest producerof barrel racing events in thestate. Showtime Arena becamethe rst such private horse fa-cility in the area patterned aftersimilar operations in Missouri.

Showtime Arena offersgravel and grass parking withshade, 30 electrical hook upsfor RVs and 103 stalls. Thereare two indoor arenas, and oneoutdoor arena complete withlights. The heated main indoorarena is 72 feet by 203 feetwith roping chutes and 30 stallsattached all under one roof.Another barn has 19 stalls anda 50-by-100-foot heated indoorwarm-up arena. A third barnhas 54 stalls. The outdoor arena

is 150 feet by 270 feet, com-plete with roping chutes andcattle holding pens.

“We have 23 days a year ofbarrel racing here,” Boundsaid. “And I go all over to pro-duce barrel racing events inother places.”

Barrel racing is Bound's spe-cialty, and over the years shehas accumulated plenty ofchampionship hardware. Visi-tors to the 2016 MidwestHorse Fair have the opportu-nity to see Bound in person asshe presents seven times dur-ing the fair.

“One (presentation) is aboutchoosing a barrel racinghorse,” she said. “And I'll dosome demonstrations.”

Bound's Wisconsin rootscertainly contributed to locat-ing Showtime Arena in Deer-eld in 1991, but Wisconsinand horses go well together,she said, and building a facilityhere made good businesssense.

“The horse business has al-ways done great in Wisconsinand we built a heated arena tobe able to have events duringwinter,” Bound said. It hasworked. Hundreds of barrelracers and all the horses andgear to go along can show upat Showtime Arena for a com-petition.

As Bound described it, win-ning a barrel racing event usedto go to the rider and horse with

the fastest time. Simpleenough, but payouts usuallywere limited to the top threetimes and everybody else wenthome empty handed.

Then barrel racing shiftedto a “division format,” shecontinued, which offered atype of handicapping systemso that more riders and horsescould get into the moneyrounds. The change resultedin a surge in the number ofpeople participating in thesport and more importantly, abig increase in sponsorshipopportunities. More moneyfor more people helped barrelracing evolve to what it is to-day.

Bound may be best knownfor barrel racing but she hasalso done mounted shooting,team roping and other rodeoevents. She keeps her nger onthe pulse of the horse businesswhile helping scores of stu-dents and clients improve theirabilities. At a recent event atShowtime Arena she rode her

horse Stoli to a 13.3 timearound the three barrels of thecourse, one of the better timesof the day.

“I just like the athleticism of

the horses,” Bound said. “Andwhat I really enjoy is seeingmy students and clients havingsuccess. That's what I reallylike about the business.”
