Equial, also known in Sindarin as sídhroch (‘horse-rest’), was a hardy, thick-stemmed weed that was difficult to find because many wild animals fed on it for its mildly narcotic properties. It was valued by the Men of Rohan as a mild anaesthetic that calmed their horses’ nerves and allowed beasts to relax under even the most trying circumstances.
