“when vaquero horsemanship reined supreme,” and also on the

ways that local enthusiasts maintain a connection to that era by

participating in Old Spanish Days events in Santa Barbara—especially

El Desfile Historico, which the exhibit labeled “the largest equestrian

parade in the country.”

Joe De Yong was represented in the exhibit by a pair of batwing

chaps from the 1930s, decorated and signed by the artist with his
