Organizers say that a thoroughbred racehorse doesn’t reflect the school's diverse student body.
’ website says that the original Gunrock — the one that the current mascot is named after — was born from English Triple Crown winner Rock Sand and Gunfire, another race horse, in 1914. Eventually, the stud was brought to UC Davis in 1921 and bred with 476 mares “with the aim of improving horse stocks” for both military personnel and the general public. He died in 1932, but his legacy persisted for decades.
reported that students voted to oust Gunrock the Mustang in 1993, the Cow4Mascot campaign says that the school administration and then-Chancellor Theodore L. Hullar rejected their decision. Hashimoto speculates that “traditionalists” wanted a mustang to represent the athletics department, even though UC Davis is known for itsand animal science programs. He also says that adopting the new mascot will help reclaim the “cow town school’s” identity and turn it into a point of pride.
