TBH I don’t really get the joke here, other than general absurdism. The horse getting bigger is probably a reference to the sandworms from Dune, but the connection to religion isn’t clear. Could be a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Messiah’s_Donkey:
The triumphal entry into Jerusalem is a narrative in the four canonical Gospels describing the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem a few days before his crucifixion. This event is celebrated each year by Christians on Palm Sunday.
It’s a rather specific reference for the Oglaf creators to make, and the comic wasn’t posted on any day that’s related to that, but that’s my best guess.
I like the concept of having to best the pony in a fight, but I would have ended it with the rider and their equestrian friends at a fancy garden horse event in princess dresses and all with missing teeth and black eyes.
The real ending is definitely Shai Hulud-coded for some reason. Your guess is better than anything I’ve come up with.
