A great cause and a great horse! 💙 💚

Coloring outside the lines for a cause 💙💚

Snap Decision, a steeplechase horse trained by Jack Fisher, won 17 of 32 races, including a record four Temple Gwathmey titles. He earned $1,258,150 and finally won the Eclipse Award in 2024 after multiple nominations. Retired in 2025, he now foxhunts with the Green Spring Valley Hounds.
