When I create new accounts on various websites, my profile picture automatically defaults to a picture I used 10 years ago, why?

For many websites over the years, and on GitHub today, when I first sign up, my profile picture is defaulted to a certain photo of a horse. It happens quite frequently, but I don't like the photo so it bothers me. I used that horse photo as my profile picture about 6-10 years ago. I typically use google chrome as a web browser and my profile picture is not that photo. I run macOS and Windows interchangeably, and I think it happens on both. I don't know if there is a setting somewhere that automatically sets your profile picture for new accounts... Does anybody know why this might happen?
