The Sama Kuda tradition is inseparable from belian (shamanic healing). According to oral histories passed down in Sasak communities, the ritual originated when a village was plagued by unseen jin (spirits) causing illness and discord. A belian discovered that by mimicking a horse—a creature of strength and untamed will—he could invite the spirits to mount him instead of haunting the living. Dance became negotiation; trance became therapy.
Today, the lifestyle of a Sama Kuda dancer is a hybrid one. By day, they are farmers, laborers, or market vendors. But when called—often after a village-wide meal of beras baluk (ritual rice) and a spiced tuak—they become vessels. Preparation involves fasting, meditation, and the application of minyak bulung (sacred oil) behind the ears. The costume is not a disguise but a harness: once the bamboo horse is strapped on, the dancer offers his body as a vehicle.
