"I’m gonna go for it and do my best to get first place! Thank you for your support!"

- Haru Urara

Haru Urara (ハルウララ, Haru Urara) is a supporting character in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby.

She is a friend of Special Week and many other horse girls. She travels around often to compete in races. Although she never returned with a single victory; she returned with souvenirs for her friends.

Personality
This energetic horse girl has an unending optimism and fighting spirit despite never having won a single race. It’s pretty clear that her enrollment to Tracen Academy was an error, given that she doesn’t quite have the talent or skill. Regardless, she still brightens up the everyday life in the academy.

Appearance
She is a short and cute horse girl. She has bright pink hair and eyes. Her hair is tied up in a small ponytail and her bangs are kept neatly with a dark pink headband. She wears two dark pink ear caps and a white and pink bow on her left ear.

Trivia

 * Haru Urara is only horse girl that never have belonged to JRA in real life. She belonged to Kochi for all her racing life.
 * She is only the horse girl that has never won a race during her lifetime.
 * Her racing outfit is based on ordinary sportwear.
 * In Kochi racecourse there are up to Jpn3-grade races, so it wasn't possible for her to be put into G1 races.
 * In Japanese local horseracing, racing silks depend on the horse's jockey, not owner. Many jockeys rode on Haru Urara, so she doesn't have a fixed racing silk unlike other The colour scheme of her outfit actually comes from the mask that she wore, which was pink and white. The owners also took their time to iron Hello Kitty patches onto it.
 * The real life Haru Urara indeed never won a race in her life, racing in 113 races and losing all of them. However, despite all these losses, she always lapped as if she was the one doing the winning lap. During her time, the Kochi racecourse was struggling financially and so when news of a racehorse that kept on losing was heard, the media decided to make a story out of it, which was then picked up nationally. This led to what is now known as the "Haru Urara Boom". Fans would pack into Kochi just to see Haru Urara. Jockey wives would make t-shirts and merchandise of her ; fans would buy betting tickets on her as protective charms against car crashes because betting on Haru Urara is a guaranteed loss (当たらない means to not win but also to not crash.). She now resides peacefully in a farm in Chiba.
 * King Halo is her roommate. Their connection to each other is that they never succumb to giving up no matter what.
