"The savage dies — they sacrifice a horse To bear to happy hunting-grounds the corse. Our friends expire — we make the money fly In hope their souls will chase it through the sky."

Horse sacrifice
Horse sacrifice is the ritual killing and offering of a horse, usually as part of a religious or cultural ritual. Horse sacrifices were common throughout Eurasia with the domestication of the horse and continuing up until the spread of Abrahamic religions, or in some places like Mongolia. The practice is rarely observed in some cultures even today.
