World Famous, Whiplash – The Cowboy Monkey Rides with Toughest Cowboy in 2009

An international rodeo star and a true cowboy, Whiplash, the Cowboy monkey is truly a fan-favorite. This 21 yr old Capuchin Monkey has been riding since he was two years old and has been a part of the Tommy Lucia family since he was born. Whiplash travels the country herding up wild Barbados sheep. His riding ability is unmatched and his herding skills unchallenged. He never misses a chance to show his monkey heritage as he rides pulling the saddle from side to side and even hanging off to one side mimicking an classic Indian hideaway.

Toughest Cowboy is thrilled to have Whiplash join the 2009 Tour.
