Rancheros Vistadores de Santa Inez 5/6/2007 10:26:24 AM
Visit the Blessing of the Animals blog for more updates like this one! Today learn about the Blessing of the Horses at the annual gathering of the Rancheros Vistadores in Santa Inez. Blessing of the Horses is a unique ceremony celebrating our equine friends. During the early part of May the Rancheros Vistadores saddle up for a weekend of frivolity. The elite social club was founded by John Mitchell in 1930 and the tradition is still going strong.
As they do annually, the Rancheros Vistadores saddled up for adventure this weekend. Part of the celebration includes a blessing of the horses as shown above in a photo at the Santa Inez Valley News story about the visiting ranchers.
Skofield Park is one of the locations the group rides through and they have a great archive photo of the Rancheros up on the page.
Here are a few more interesting links about the Rancheros:
