The Felipe Gonzales’s horse was scared by a viper and in spite of all Felipe’s efforts fell down from the cliff. Only thanks to the miracle of the Virgin of Guadalupe they didn’t hurt themselves and didn’t brake the bones.

The Reyes brother hated me because of the quarrel about borders of our lands. One day they made an ambush to kill me when I would ride my horse near by. But the Virgin of Zapopan always protected me and that day she gave wings to my horse. The horse galloped faster than ever before. I arrived to the village and hid in the church. So I saved my life.

The Death took me on her horse.

The ringmaster of “Circo Godinez” thanks Saint Rita of Cascia because his kids, Jacinta and Benjamin, had a successful debut with acrobatic stunts on the horses. They received a round of applause and felt very proud and happy for such a great achievement.

The cavalryman Jorge Sanchez thanks the Apostle James with this retablo because he won the show jumping competition with his horse. And thanks to that he was decorated by the army.

Rafael Lujan mounted on a stubborn stallion and rode it to the edge of the ravine. He couldn’t restrain the stallion, and in this dangerous moment he invoked the Virgin Mary. She saved him from certain death, although he lost the hat.

A beautiful snake came to play with the animals. Thank you for it didn’t harm them.

The day of my wedding was the happiest day of my life. Thanks to Saint Anthony I married a good man, hard-working, handsome and romantic. When we came out of the church we got on his horse and went to his ranch. The children waved to us and ran along us. I give thanks for so much happiness.

I thank the Lord Jesus, because I only broke my index finger nail after a very scary accident with my horse in Guadalajara, Mexico.

My twins sons are restless children. July 3, they ran from me and went riding the Jose Padilla’s red horse. It was a stubborn animal and it threw the children in a place full of rocks. I thank the Virgin, because miraculously my sons didn’t fall on the rocks.

Delfino Gonzalez was learning how to ride a horse, and the horse threw him off right on cactuses. He got seriously hurt. Delfino thanks Saint Jude for his quick recovery and also because he’s learned the right way to ride.

With this drawing, I want to thank Saint Francis for the miracle he made. Your slave Juan Luis Rubert had some drinks in the bar. On the way back, I was riding a horse and hit my head on a badly planted tree. I fell off the horse and broke two ribs and one leg. On top of everything I was stung by a viper.

However, that moonless night Saint Francis heard my prayers. He sent me my neighbor Geniero, who was passing by on his donkey. He took me to the hospital where I met Dr. Paty and fell in love with her.
