A horse stands in its stable at the Los Angeles County Fair. The horse is viewed close-up and stands in partial view at right. It extends its head beyond the boundary of the stable and looks to the left. A chain at right stretches in front of the horse and across the doorway. The rest of the horse is obscured by the shadows of the stable at right. Doors to the stable stand open along the left side.
A man donning a cowboy hat and holding a rope sits horseback on a pinto at center. The rider looks to camera and the horse faces slightly right. Behind and to the left of them, a car is parked. It faces towards camera. At right, a car hauling a trailer enters frame and passes behind the horse and rider. Stables stretch across the background.
The historical pageant, La Fiesta de la Rancho San Jose, at the Los Angeles County Fair celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the first Spanish settlers, Don Ygnacio Palomares and Don Arcardo Vejar to the Pomona Valley.
