So the horse replies, “The bank denied my home improvement loan because I don’t have a stable income.” ...

How about "wearing a long face"? I think I've also heard it

[@EnglishwithLiane]

This doesn't sound wrong to me. Personally, I mostly use the "Why a long face?" and it's the one I hear the most.
