Hesther Salomon, a magistrate, asks her platonic friend Martin Dysart, a disillusioned Psychiatry who works with disturbed teenagers at a hospital in Hampshire, England, to treat a 17-year-old stable boy named Alan Strang after he blinded six horses with a sickle. With Alan only singing television advertisement, Martin goes to see the boy's parents, the non-religious Frank Strang and his Christian fundamentalism wife Dora. She had taught her son the basics of sex and that God sees all, but the withdrawn Alan replaced his mother's deity with a god he called Equus, incarnated in horses. Frank discloses to Martin that he witnessed Alan late at night in his room, haltered and flagellating himself, as he chanted a series of names in Genealogy of Jesus-fashion which culminated in the name Equus as he climaxed.
