Riding horses through the fire

Every year in San Bartolome de Pinares, west of Madrid, during the celebration of the patron saint of animals of St. Anthony Abeda, professional Spanish riders jump through flaming fires, defying death itself.
Before the sparks horse blessed the priest and the ritual has been going on for 500 years.  St. Anthony Abed Egyptian origin was recognized as the patron saint of animals from the Middle Ages.
