Hi Chantal, Thanks.  I am glad you liked my horse I bred.  He is a very special boy.  The most lovely of natures, intelligent, kind just a very special horse.

Dee, Jalil is a pure bred Arabian stallion that I bred in December 2001 and only just being broken in and starting his training under saddle this year at 9 years of age.  The photo above is about the 4th or 5th time he'd EVER been ridden by anyone including during the breaking in when he was only ridden twice as the breaker lives in Queensland and I live in Sydney with 6 months apart before he got down to do some work on him.  I am pleased you liked him.  He is a lovely natured horse.

He is lovely and must be very calm if this is only his 4th or 5th time with a rider;o))

He was amazingly calm trusting, willing and therefore responsive. He has excellent conformation so was naturally very balanced for a totally 'green' horse.  He amazed everyone.  Unfortuantely, because he was so good, he was pushed too hard and too fast completely against my wishes and rebelled which they all do for a time until they accept the training.  I am to see him hopefully this week to see how he is doing now.  I hope he is ok as he had some much talent along with beauty and I bred him and he is my 'baby'.  His grandsire in 1977 (bred here in Sydney, Australia) was awarded at Ascot, UK Supreme International Champion after being named World Champion Stallion.  Being the inaugural International Show, they never put World Champion Stallion or Mare up against each to make Supreme Champion so he is the only International Supreme Champion.  His name was Ralvon Pilgrim.

I hope his training goes well in the future, and slows down a bit to suit his good nature;o))
