My two cents on the horse puns is he's most likely to make the horse puns when he's either stressed or horsing around with Nepeta (YES I HAD TO OKAY)? IDK at least you can't get jossed any further :')
Personal thoughts on the matter is that he was actually kind of super nervous at the time... for whatever reason you want to take, and like Vriska who ups her 8 output, his horse puns started coming out. Add that he was talking to Nepeta, after they had already spent an ~hour~ on the pile talking about feelings... He may just have been so comfortable with her that they kept coming out.
Keep in mind that in Camp, there are humans. A lot of them. The situation has changed! In canon he did not develop much, if at all, and you shouldn't feel off for it! About the only time I can think it coming into play is if... Gamzee gives you actual orders. Which is something in canon he'd been trying to get out of him for quite a while it seems like! I'm not so sure it is the hemomspectrum in general, or rather Gamzee's specific case of being the highest land dweller, without being a purpleblooded oceandwelling social enemy.
Okay YOU SAID I COULD, so I hope this isn't presumptuous! I've been hanging around in spoilerchan after all so I've seen (and joined in on) a lot of the freaking out so I hope I have a reasonable amount of perspective on this.
But my take on all this is that, among everything else, this was a situation stacked against Equius hugely. Psycho Gamzee is certainly proving himself to be really good at the mindgames, who even knows where that came from but damn. He did draw out the confrontation, toying with Equius and hitting some very personal weak spots, the submission thing sure, not to mention using a bow and breaking it can't in any way be an accident. Plus Equius himself had been filling himself with doubt and doom about facing Gamzee from the start, pretty much psyching himself down, and once things started going badly that would have a way of making his doubts seem all the more right
