Los Caballos del Vino est?n declarados desde 2011Bien de Inter?s Cultural Inmaterial con car?cter etnogr?fico.
Su origen est? documentalmente probado desde hace tres siglos, aunque es una manifestaci?n anterior, vinculada a la antiqu?sima ceremonia de la bendici?n del vino la Sant?sima y Vera Cruz de Caravaca, un ritual igualmente ?nico en el mundo que simboliza la protecci?n de la naturaleza.
Los documentos m?s antiguos de su celebraci?n datan de 1765 y desde entonces la tradici?n no ha dejado de crecer, convirti?ndose en enseña de la ciudad y en prueba de devoci?n y de apego a su historia.
Las caracter?sticas y valores mantenidos por los Caballos del Vino a lo largo de su historia se adaptan a la salvaguarda del patrimonio mundial inmaterial que promueve la UNESCO, ya que este protege y vela por la continuidad de expresiones que se han transmitido de generaci?n en generaci?n, han evolucionado en respuesta a su entorno e infunden un sentimiento de identidad.El objetivo de la UNESCO es preservarlas con la mayor integridad posible para las generaciones futuras.
Una carrera que se inici? hace m?s de una d?cada Fue en 2011 cuando el Consejo Nacional de Patrimonio Hist?rico celebrado en Burgos autoriz? que los Caballos del Vino iniciaran la carrera a la declaraci?n de Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad, comenz?ndose la redacci?n de su expediente, que se ha ido adaptando a nuevos requerimientos introducidos por la UNESCO a lo largo de este tiempo.
En marzo de 2012 el Ministerio de Educaci?n, Cultura y Deporte registr? el documento para su evaluaci?n en la Secretar?a de la Convenci?n para la Salvaguardia del Patrimonio Inmaterial (UNESCO, Par?s).
Entre las acciones de impulso a la candidatura llevadas a cabo en los ?ltimos años destaca la puesta en marcha en 2014 de la Casa Museo de los Caballos Vino, situada en el casco hist?rico de la ciudad, en un recuperado inmueble del siglo XVIII.
Este espacio muestra la historia y desarrollo del singular festejo a trav?s de una colecci?n de piezas, complementada con im?genes y audiovisuales.
El espacio est? compuesto por ocho salas donde se refleja la implicaci?n de la ciudad en la fiesta, destacando el valor del trabajo en equipo, la salvaguarda de las tradiciones, el respeto al caballo y la fuerza de la juventud.
