Shortly after, they were touring all across the Midwest! At 18, Bethany decided to make this a career and gained her PRCA card. She has performed in every state in America! Bethany’s goal is to honor the woman who came before her in the sport while adding her own flair to the art of trick riding. Kiesner has a team of palomino horses, Vanilla, Cowboy, Mojo, and Nugget, that have helped her achieve her goals, including making her first appearance at the NFR in 2025, 2 trips to the NFSR, and a trip to the NFR Open.
