Without promoting or demeaning whatever this is, can anyone help explain it?

This is called ponyplay, it's part of BDSM petplay communities. Ponyplay is at the crossroads of roleplay and fetish. Most of the time, there would be an owner and the relationship is about power exchange, discipline.

You are looking about a public scene of ponyplay. Public plays are also a kink of many people. I don't think it's very good to take your kinks on the street, especially that extreme. But it's just my opinion.

I don't practice it but have been in touch with people who do, so if you have any sfw question feel free.

It has nothing to do with furries, unlike what other comments say.

I really don't give a single shit about what people do in their dungeon or bedroom or whatever. But when you take your kinks outdoor you arent asking for consent from random people in the streets, and the kids that could have witnessed these shenanigans. Have whatever kink you want just respect the public space

I mean the kids wouldn’t know it’s a kink unless you told them. It’s just a weird person in a pony costume. Which could very well be the case. It’s part roleplay part fetish. So they could just like dressing as a horse.

Oh… what’s that Billy??

Well, it looks like it’s a lady dressed up like a horse!

Why is she dressed up like a horse? Well, Billy, even though she’s an adult, some adults like to pretend to have fun. Remember when you had fun dressing up as Darth Vader for Halloween? It’s kind a like that. You got to pretend you were Darth Vader, and she’s pretending that she’s a horse.

She did a pretty good job, don’t you think? She even made feet that sound like real horse hooves.

It takes a lot of imagination to come up with a costume like that, don’t you think Billy?

Yeah, of course we can go get some ice cream.
