She's a Tapir, but she has been playing Uma Musume and that's the inspiration for this art. Part of the art was also used for one of her Uma Musume stream thumbnails.

The context for that question is the ear decoration and their pants.
Stallions are marked by ear accessories on their RIGHT ear (left side on this picture), where mares are marked by ear decorations on their LEFT ear. Stallions are also depicted to wear shorts, where mares wear bloomers.

Thanks for the info. I thought they were surprised to see horse Nami, since she's not usually a horse. It was likely a misunderstanding on my end, and what you're saying about the remark being more centered on gender makes sense.

Just need to flip her avatar.

Makes me wonder what makes it fitting to be put in the umamusume tag here?

Because she is a (mistaken) for an uma musume?

Nah, it's in the costume and context so it fits.
Cosplaying as something warrants the series tag, moreover if it's OCs.

That outfit isn't used in umamusume at all, it looked like the standard athletic runner attire to me nor cosplaying as something.
