I can't find the original now (despite using Google AND Bing), but this one is photo-referenced; with Forever Young looking as cheerful while Ushba looking depressed in the background as they do here.

Finally found it, albeit from Animan

Ushba is perpetually depressed (when racing), much to the dismay of punters unfamiliar with his shtick.

He's even more depressed (and tries to be as lazy as possible) during training, which is why he looks dead inside in that photo.

I find it funny seeing a Fan Design of Forever Young before she was officially introduced in UmaMusume.

There's quite a few fan created Umas that are now sitting in HiH territory, not just Ebayan.
It's especially true if you look at "phantom" tanukis created circa 2021 to 2023, where many prominent horses received fan original designs, only for Cygames to introduce official designs later on.
