Plot

Peter Kasimsiman is a homosexual who is adopted by a wealthy lady, Doña Biday, after being abused by his father for his orientation. But he becomes abusive of his newfound wealth, and becomes more so, after the death of Doña Biday, leading him to mistreat his servants, employees, friends and even the property's horses. After the death of one of Peter's horses from overwork, Diobayo, the goddess of horses, gives Peter a curse that transforms him into a horse every time he gets angry or does bad things. During his horse phase, he is taken in by his former employee Erickson, who names him Petra and uses him to drive his calesa, only reverting to human form when he performs a good deed. After mending his ways and reconciling with his now repentant father, he voluntarily asks Diobayo to become a horse again to win a race that keeps his estate from falling into bankruptcy. Erickson, in a fit of excitement, kisses Petra, who becomes Peter in front of him, to his embarrassment.
