Freud analyzed a five-year-old boy named Hans who had developed a severe phobia of horses, particularly a fear that a horse would fall down in the street or bite him. Freud interpreted this phobia as a displaced fear of his father (due to the Oedipus complex), with the black blinkers and muzzle on the horse representing his father's eyeglasses and mustache.
