Who is at risk for equinophobia?

Women and people designated female at birth (DFAB) are more likely to have a specific phobic disorder, but phobias affect all ages and sexes. You may be more likely to develop equinophobia if you have:

• Family members who have phobias, anxiety disorders or are afraid of horses.
• A gene change (mutation) that may bring on an anxiety disorder.
