Jalila is from a well-known Arabian breeding farm called Drinkers of the Wind Arabians,[i] that focuses on producing quality endurance horses. A hypersensitive individual, this horse was not finding existence the human world easy. After two visits to a natural horsemanship trainer, who I know does a nice job starting horses, it was puzzling that Jalila remained difficult to catch and halter, lacked confidence, and remained highly over reactive. She objected to being handled, or even touched anywhere on her entire right side.
