✨"Anything you do, do it with your heart”⁠ ⁠ Jaleele Abdul Alim, or Jal as his friends call him, lives in France, next to Paris and is an animal lover.⁠ ⁠ He doesn’t come from an equestrian background at all, but for some reason has always been drawn to horses as far as he can remember. He grew up listening to country music and dreaming of riding horses.⁠ ⁠ He is a self-taught horseman and doesn’t believe in *one* method when it comes to horsemanship. ⁠ However, he started this journey because of Buck, the movie, and because he stumbled upon videos of people playing the Parelli 7 games. But he mostly learnt everything he knows today thanks to his mare Quincy and his horse BlackPearl⁠ ⁠ He is a true lover of the old vaquero traditions and doesn't just ride only to ride but with tiny achievable goals for his horses and himself.⁠ ⁠ He is also fascinated by social media, or all media. Also loves entertaining people by pulling their heartstring or making them laugh. His goal is to show the world the beauty of the relationship that bonds humans to their horses, if only people can learn to earn the trust of their horses.⁠ ⁠ ⁠
