Jupiter, brave Jupiter, recently hit the trails to showcase how all his hard work in the arena has paid off.

This guy didn’t miss a stride on his recent trail walk, taking up the lead with the calm cool collected attitude of a seasoned pro. True, it wasn’t exactly his first time on the trail, having seen it for the first time on a hand walk a few weeks prior, but to walk alongside and to walk underneath are two separate asks, and he handled both with grace.

Past Farrel-McWhirter’s funny farm, the playground with swinging, screaming children, and some well-meaning pedestrians who tucked themselves into the shadows (for those of you hikers sharing the trail with horses, it is always the safest option to announce your presence), Jupiter stayed solidly focused on the task at hand: carrying his rider where she asked, and even posing for a photo or two along the way.

We think the outdoors agree with you, Jupiter!
