The following symptoms can be exhibited when a person suffering from equinophobia either thinks of a horse or is physically near one:
- Feeling of terror
- Anxiety (even if the horse is calm)
- Trembling
- Panic
- Palpitations
- Shortness of breath

Sufferers of equinophobia may also fear other hoofed animals such as donkeys, mules, and ponies.
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").
An example of the phobia can be found in Freud's psychoanalytic study of Little Hans.
