A traditionalist who said that only a woman with purity could do it requested that the woman, who was considered to be pure, resuscitate the animal.
According to legend, in some African cultures, for a horse to be miraculously healed, a lady must either be a virgin or have never had more than one man in her lifetime jump over the horse.
A video that has gone viral online depicts the moment she jumped over the dead horse, at which point it suddenly rose up.
As the beast galloped away with enormous strides, young men rushed to pick the lady up in jubilation and sing her honour.
