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.

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.
