DAY 3 ANSWER
While this masked horseman may look like a Gaucho, it’s actually a Vaquero. This is the mascot of another local college, Santa Barbara City College.
This specific Vaquero is perched on the back of the digital scoreboard for La Playa Stadium (721 Cliff Drive) and glaring over the parking lot.
Vaquero is a Spanish word for a herder of cattle. It derives from vaca, meaning “cow”, which in turn comes from the Latin word vacca. SBCC is known for a robust athletics program and the Vaqueros have won 13 State Championships, mostly in women’s golf and women’s waterpolo.

Gaucho and Vaquero are very similar. The logo looks similar too.
