Snapper is one bully of a colt with a truly arrogant side. He believes he is the best there is and venerates himself as royalty. He struts around, head high and eyes daring anybody to challenge his dominion. He's built muscularly and is fully capable of backing up his intimidating display with actions, something which has forced us to keep him far away from our other colts and especially the fillies, his favorite audience. Snapper is the type of horse that gets along with any rider on his back. He doesn't care who's up there as long as he gets his way. Similarly to his half sister Lynara's Kingdom, it's all about getting what he wants, and what he wants is to dominate over any foe that stands to oppose him. He is willful and arrogant to the core, with plenty of mean bones in his body due to this temperament and few nice ones. Despite these personality faults, he is a true beauty to behold, like a golden sculpture gracing the track.
Leg Type: Front Runner
Snapper is just the type of colt who breaks fast out of the gate and rolls away to win by five regardless of the early pace. His arrogance takes him to the front, and his desire to stay there fuels his drive through the remaining furlongs of the race. Snapper's greatest joy is to win by open lengths, obliterating his competition. The moment he is asked, Snapper digs in and gives it his all. He is a truly fast horse, amazingly quick, and the shorter the race is the better he's likely to do. Snapper doesn't care who's on his back as long as he gets his way on the track. Of course, it takes the right rider to get Snapper to maintain a tactical mindset during the race and not just blow every horse out there away when he wants to. Snapper is by far very fallible out there with this running style. That is where his rider comes in to mediate and watch and make sure Snapper doesn't run out of gas by the finish.
