Whiplash the Cowboy Monkey
When "Whiplash" rides into the arena astride his Border Collie mount, decked out in his finest cowboy duds and custom-made saddle, the audience is assured of a fun, fast paced and incredibly unique performance. With the aid of Tommy Lucia and his highly trained sheep dog, imported from Scotland, "Whiplash" rounds up a herd of wild sheep. Although the agility and skill of his canine companion are unmatched, it is the unpredictable antics of this pint size primate, that keeps the onlookers in stitches.
