Equinophobia or hippophobia is a psychological fear of horses. Equinophobia is derived from the Greek word φόβος (phóbos), meaning "fear" and the Latin word equus, meaning "horse". The term hippophobia is also derived from the Greek word phóbos with the prefix derived from the Greek word for horse, ἵππος (híppos).[1][2] Sufferers of equinophobia may also fear other hoofed animals such as donkeys and mules.[3]
An example of the phobia can be found in Freud's psychoanalytic study of Little Hans.
