'Cause I'm the best

This side
of the mississippi.

Whoa, cowgirl.

I'm afraid
that's impossible.

Oh yeah?
And why is that?

Because I'm the best
horse rider

This side
of the mississippi.

Oh yeah?

Yeah!
Uh-uh!

Uh-huh!

Both:
hmm...

You know, there's only
one way to settle this

Once and for all.

You mean...

A race?

That's exactly
what I mean!

We'll race to decide

Who's the best

You're on!

Pablo:

where we can race.

Uniqua:

That I'm going to win!

[Voice echoes over microphone]

I say we race times

I say we race
times around.

Come to think of it,

Why race around
the track at all?

You mean...

I mean...

We can race...

All the way to
the mississippi river!

[Crowd cheers]

Exactly!

And whoever reaches
the river first wins.

And I'm-a gonna be
the winner!

No, I'm gonna be
the winner!

Tyrone:
or maybe I'll be
the winner.

Down here!

Hi, there.

Hello!

Well, I'll be.
Howdy partner.

I'm tyrone.

I couldn't help
noticing

That you folks are
getting ready to race,

And I was wondering
if I could race too?

You're gonna race us...

On that?

Yup!
This is molasses.

She's my burro.

[Brays] hee-haw.

[Pablo and uniqua laugh]

Well,
she sure is cute.

But she'll never run faster
than my horse, thunder.

Or my horse,
lightning.

Well, me and molasses
will just keep going,

And see what happens.

Austin: [announcing]
all racers,

Report to the starting gate.

Have a good race.

Good luck.

He's sure
gonna need it.

No, you're gonna
need it!

Pablo:
no, you are!

Uniqua:
no, you!

[Thunder whinnies]

Whoa, boy.

[Lightning whinnies]

Settle down, girl.

Austin:
and now for the best
horse rider

This side
of the mississippi race!

We have two fast horses

And a burro.

Who will be the winner?

Well, it's time
to find out!

Racers,
on your mark!

Get set...

[Starting bell dings]
go-go-go!

And they're off!

Yeeehawwww!

Yeehaw!

[Crowd cheering]

Austin:
pablo and uniqua
are neck and neck...

Wait! What's this?

It looks like uniqua
is pulling ahead!

Say there,
jockey pablo,

Looks like I'm ahead
by a nose.

Oh yeah, well now
I'm ahead by a nose.

And my horse's nose
is bigger

Than your horse's nose.

[Horse whinnies]

Uniqua:
oh yeah,

Well, now I'm ahead
by a nose and two eyes.

[Gallops faster]

I'm ahead by two eyes,
a nose and an ear!

That's almost
a whole head!

I'm b*ating you
by a nose,

Two eyes,

A mouth
and a neck!

Austin:
it's uniqua
by a bellybutton.

No, it's pablo by a hoof.

No, it...

I can't keep up.

One thing that's
for sure is,

Tyrone is bringing up
the rear.

[Crowd cheers]

Austin:
and tyrone has finally
left the stadium.

Beautiful day for a ride,

Don't you think molasses?

Molasses:
[brays] hee-haw!

[Hoofs galloping rapidly]

Pablo:
I'm a whole horse
ahead now!

Yeah, but can you ride
with no hands?

I can ride with no hands,

And standing up!

Yaw!

I can ride with no hands,

Standing up
and on one leg!

Yee-haw!

But that's easy

When you're going
in a straight line.

It's harder when you go
in a circle,

Like this!

Oh yeah?

[Lightning whinnies]

Yeah!

Austin:
folks, I've never seen
anything like it.

Cowgirl uniqua
and jockey pablo

Are riding in circles!

Gettin' diz-
dizzy yet?

N-no! You?

'Cause if you need
to stop,

I could too.

No way!

Great riders like me
don't get...dizzy.

Whoa, girl.

[Horse whickers]

Looks like uniqua and pablo
forgot about the race.

They're just horsin' around.

Not us, molasses.

We're just gonna
keep on going.

Hello there!

Pablo:
di-did you just see...?

Uniqua:
I must be gettin' dizzy,

'Cause it sure looked like

That burro ridin' feller
just...

Both:
passed us?!

See you at
the mississippi river.

It's that way,
don't forget!

I can't believe it!

Tyrone and molasses
have taken the lead!

Look! He did!
He did pass us!

Come on, thunder!
Yaaw!

Giddy-up, lightning!

Yee-haw!

[Rapid galloping]

Bye, bye!

Just keep on goin',
molasses.

Just keep on going.

[Horses whinny]

Uniqua and pablo
are back in the lead!

That was close.

It's a good thing
I saw tyrone coming.

You saw him coming?
I saw him first.

Did not.

Did so.

Did... Whoa!

Look out!

Pablo:
yaw!

Did you see how high
I jumped?

Not nearly as high
as I jumped.

What?!
Are you crazy?

I'm the best
horse jumper

This side
of the mississippi!

Are not!
Am too!

Are not!

Am too!

[Lightning whinnies]
whoa!

Okay.

See that farm?

We can settle this
once and for all!

You're on!

[Lightning whinnies]

Yaw!

Yee-haw!

[Lightning nickers]

Yaw!

[Thunder nickers]

Now this could be
really interesting.

You mean...

I mean,
a jumping contest.

I bet you can't jump
this fence,

And the bush behind it.

Oh, I bet you I can!

I'm clearly
the best jumper.

No, I am.

Well, let's try some
harder jumps then.

That should prove
my bestness

Once and for all!

Oh, look!
There they are.

Off horsin'
around again.

Hello!

It can't be.

Tyrone:
that was some great jumping

You guys were doing there.

Austin:
for the second time
in this race,

Tyrone has taken the lead!

It is tyrone
and molasses!

How does he do that?

I don't know,

But I'm not gonna
get b*at by a burro.

[Horses neigh]

Uniqua and pablo:
yeeehaw! Yaaawww!

[Galloping rapidly]

Pleasant riding everyone!

Come on, molasses,

Just keep on going!

I think the finish line
is getting close.

Uniqua:
yup.

The river is just past
those mountains.

Won't be long now
'till you find out

I'm the best horse rider

This side
of the mississippi.

Nuh-uh.

See you at the finish line!

[Thunder neighs]

Well, maybe we don't know
who the best jumper is,

But I bet you
I'm the best climber.

Huh?
Best climber?

But sure as sh**t',
that's me too!

Says who?

Uniqua:
says me.

So prove it!

You're on,
jockey pablo!

This race was almost over,

But pablo and uniqua
just left the race again!

Did you hear that girl?

Sounds like those two

Are gonna start
horsin' around again.

But we're gonna do
what we do best -

Keep on going!

Molasses:
[brays] hee-haw!

Thunder and I

Can climb to the top
of that ridge

And back,

Before you
and lightning can.

No way you're gonna
climb faster than me.

And I don't even need
a horse to do it.

Well then, I don't
need a horse either.

In fact,

I'll climb up that hill

Faster than you

Without a horse
and on one foot!

Oh yeah?

Then I'm gonna climb
up that hill

Faster than you
without a horse,

And with no feet!

How in the world

Are you gonna climb up
that hill

Without any feet?

I don't rightly know.

Oh, yes I do!

I'm gonna scoot
up that hill!

I'll scoot,

But I'll do it
backwards,

And whistling!

Okay!

On your mark...
Get set...

Scoot!

Both:
[whistle]

Well folks,
now I've seen everything.

The greatest rodeo rider
in the world

And the greatest jockey
in the world

Are now whistling
and scooting

Up the side of a hill...

Backwards!

Unbelievable!

Getting tired there,
molasses?

No reason you should
carry me the whole way.

[Molasses grunts]

Pablo and uniqua:
[whistling]

I'm at the top first...

As usual!

Hey, look!

There's the mississippi river!

Wait... What's that?

What's what?

Oh no!

It's tyrone!
He's winning!

No big deal.
He can't b*at us.

He's too slow.

Yeah,
I guess you're right.

Well, see you
at the bottom!

Hey!

Woo hoo!

Wha-hoo!

Both:
oof!

Yes siree,

I'm the best backwards
whistling scooter!

No, you aren't!

Yes, I am!

Nuh-uh!

Yah-huh!

Uniqua and pablo
are arguing,

While tyrone gets closer
to the finish line.

If they don't
get going soon,

They're gonna lose!

Oh yeah.

The race!

[Horses neigh]

Pablo and uniqua:
yaw! Yee-haw!

[Rapid galloping]

Look, it's the finish line
at the mississippi river!

Molasses,
we're almost there!

Just keep on going!

We have to catch them!

Yee-haw!

Pablo:
yaw! [Horses whinny]

[Galloping rapidly]

And down the final stretch,

Pablo and uniqua
are catching up,

But tyrone is still
holding the lead!

I'm gonna win this.

No, I'm gonna win it.

I think we're gonna win.

This is still anyone's race!

[Camera flash clicks]

It's a photo finish!

It's a photo finish!

It's so close,
we won't know who won

Until we see the picture!

Here it comes!

Let me see!

[Camera whirs]

Austin:
and the winner is...

Tyrone!

Both:
tyrone?

And molasses!

Both:
and molasses?

Austin:
and molasses,

By a big,
furry burro-sized nose!

Woo hoo!
We did it!

Molasses:
[brays] hee-haw!

I can't believe it!

Me neither!

Well, I can't
believe it more.

No, I can't
believe it more!

Just wanted to say,
nice race.

Yeah,
you too, tyrone.

How'd you do it?

I mean, we're on two
super fast stallions.

And you're riding
a burro.

Well,
we just kept on going,

No matter what.

Oh. Maybe we should've
tried that.

Congratulations
to tyrone!

The best rider this side
of the mississippi!

Uniqua and pablo:
[cheering]

[Stomach growls]

All that racing,
and I'm hungry!

Pablo:
well, I'm more hungry!

I'm the most hungry!

Except for me!

Tyrone:

Let's go to my house
