| Summary: | Examines two rituals: the traditional pasola in which hundreds of horses and riders joust to celebrate the Sumbanese New Year and anticipate the rice harvest, and a funeral in which the dead man's horse leads the procession to his tomb. Highlights the gendered perspective on calendar rituals and the close emotional ties between a family and their horses.
