Aapje rijdt op hond om schapen te hoeden
Hardeeville (Lowcountry Now) - Border Collies die schapen hoeden is een vertrouwd beeld. Maar niet op deze manier. Tim "Wild Thang" Lepard heeft een kapucijn-aapje getraind om op een zadel een hond te berijden, en zo de schapen te hoeden (zie foto, of klik erop om beeld te vergroten). Met zijn act is hij de nieuwe ster van de Amerikaanse rodeo's. Lepard heeft ondertussen al 3 aapjes opgeleid, en trekt met hen en de honden langs alle grote rodeo's.

'Show me the monkeys'
HARDEEVILLE: Dogs and monkeys trained to herd sheep highlight rodeo at speedway.
By Matt Coffey
Carolina Morning News
Herding sheep with dogs is nothing new. In fact, dogs are bred for that exact purpose all around the world.
But rarely are the dogs equipped with saddles. And monkeys. They will be, however, today and Saturday at the International Professional Rodeo Association's rodeo at the Hardeeville Motor Speedway.
That's right, monkeys that ride dogs while herding sheep.
Tim "Wild Thang"Lepard, trainer and performer, said he got the idea for monkeying around -- an act that has been shown on the "Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" -- when he was a kid.
"This old man said, 'Where you going son?' and I told him I was going to a rodeo. And this old man got to talking and he said, 'You know, I was at a rodeo when I was probably about your age and a guy come up there and he had a monkey and it was sitting on a dog. I didn't believe it was a monkey, but that dog sat down right there in front of me and it sure enough was a monkey. I laughed so hard it hurt my side, and you know what, today I'm 76 years old and it still hurts when I think about it.'
"And I said to myself, that's what I want to do. I want to put an act together that people will always remember," Lepard said.
That's exactly what he did. Once you see a tiny screaming monkey tearing around a rodeo arena on the back of a panting collie, it's impossible to forget.
"The thing about rodeo, it's just like anything else, if it's hot, somebody else is going to get on it," Lepard said. "When I put this act together, I thought 'You can't touch this.' I mean, I know what I've been through to train a monkey to ride a dog and if I can train a monkey to ride a dog, I can train a rock to do tricks."
Lepard started 15 years ago with one white-faced, white-throated capuchin monkey and one border collie. His act has grown to three dogs and three monkeys with which he travels the country.
"I experienced that one-dog and one-monkey deal and I started going along and whenever I came up with two dogs and two monkeys, I said 'This is unreal,' " Lepard said. "I never dreamed of three."
The monkeys currently in his show have been with him for 12 years and Lepard said he thinks of them like his children.
"I don't have any kids but I know what those monkeys think," Lepard said. "It's a relationship that I have with them. I know how to calm them down and I know how to make them mad. It's like I know what they want."
Sometimes, they want to stick their fingers up his nose. One did that, once, when he tried to give it a bath. So Lepard does his best to keep them happy, feeding them pices of honey buns as treats.
The three monkeys, Wrangler, Suzie and Dillon, along with the three dogs, Hoss, Bo and Ted, are all named for famous cowboys, a brand of cowboy boots or a brand of jeans. The monkeys are also used in school programs.
Events at the rodeo include bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback bronc riding, team roping, steer wrestling, calf roping and barrel racing.
Gates open tonight and Saturday at 5 p.m. with exhibition and pre-event activities at 6:30 p.m. and the rodeo at 7 p.m. Ticket prices for general admission are $12 for adults with reduced rates for seniors, military and children.
For more information, call the Hardeeville Motor Speedway at 784-7223.
