Ride, monkey, ride!
I can't decide if this is awesome or animal cruelty: Whiplash the Cowboy Monkey. He's a wee capuchin who rides a border collie and herds sheep. In white chaps and a cowboy hat. He's performing tomorrow and Saturday at the Mesquite Championship Rodeo from 8-10 p.m.
In case a performing monkey is not enough for you, there will also be bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, cowgirl barrel racing, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping, chuck wagon races, cowboy poker, kids mutton bustin’ and a calf scramble.
Resistol Arena, 1818 Rodeo Dr., Mesquite, 972-285-8777. Tickets are $7-$30.

When it comes to rodeo, I'd much rather be Whiplash than a bull or a calf (or a cowboy, for that matter).

Jagshemash!
My name a Jonny the Monkey, number one most famous celebrity in all Kazakhstan. Good friend Borat still only number four most famous , even after great success movie film...
Me here to say Whiplash the dogs riding capuchin (same type monkey as Jonny) also top trainer for other monkey and ape who learn riding skills.
Training be done for when we battle peoples by ride horse, shoot rifle, and throw net.
For good example of what in store, can watch movie starring old man actor Charlatan Hestons. He know what coming and that why he lead National Rifles Association to get all peoples own gun.
But we will crush you peoples!
