Day two of the Orange County Fair Cattle Drive started with breakfast furnished by Taco Rosa, some of the best Mexican food in Orange County. Once fed the riders saddled up and prepared to bring the cattle to the Orange County Fair. They would drive them down Placentia, across Victoria and then down Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa. Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa is a very busy street with a large number of car dealerships and retail stores. The traffic was kept under control by the Costa Mesa Police on motorcycles, some with horns on and one officer in a cow suit.

 

Because safety is an important issue the best equestrian veterinarian in Orange County, Janice Posnakoff rode with the others and a horse ambulance followed. Fortunately they were not needed for the horses or the cattle. Some riders reported a soreness were the horse meets the rider and cold beer and Margaritas were available to cure that.

 

The crowds cheered, many yelling Cowabunga from last years cattle drive theme. Cow dogs were on hand to keep any cows that wanted to shop for new cars in control and away from the stores and car lots.
