I posted about Jupiter the Flying Balloon Horse yesterday but then I found an old poster about another circus horse named Jupiter. I don't know if it is the same horse or not. They are both white and they are both named Jupiter and they both are circus horses but does that mean it is the same horse?
I don't know, what do you think?

It could be. A horse can live 30 years or sometimes more. Some circus horses actually live longer because they get very attentive care--the owner's livelihood depends on the animal. The first poster looks quite old, though, maybe it's not the same horse.

I found only one website with any information about Jupiter. I will have to do more research to be certain that it really is the same horse. He was a balloon horse around 1909. He was the Equine Marvel a few years earlier, around 1900. I love finding all this great information about horses! :-)
