Harvey S. Ladew (1887 - 1976) was a noted American topiary and fox hunting enthusiast, who created the Ladew Topiary Gardens in Monkton, Maryland. You can see this horse has won a ribbon, on it's bridle.

The woman on the left is perhaps Mrs. William Halsted Vander Poel, the former Gretchen Billings, daughter of CKG Billings (chairman of Union Carbide). CKG Billings and Frederick Johnson (apparently the husbands of the other two women) together bought some English thoroughbred horses to raise for raising in 1915.

Here is the same scene, same day, shifted to the right:
