...audience is slowly introduced to the boy's bizarre deification of horses in a manner so clearly illustrative of the underlying thought processes and circumstances that his religion becomes almost understandable. At the risk of drowning in psychobabble, suffice it to say that a combination of unguided passion, spiritual and sexual repression and mental confusion arising from the tag-team influence of socialist-atheist Dad and Bible-thumping Mom lead Alan to worship the mystical horse-deity Equus (Latin for "horse").
