made some new comment threads and linked to them at the end of this journal. Should make things a little less hazardous

Over the last ten years, there have been some very unusual happenings surrounding Padro Horses. Horses were reported to be controling things outside of themselves. Scientists and Breed Experts have tried to investigate these happenings, without much results. They have alluded that these strange abilities may be linked to the Padros and Noble Delisas' close relationship, that has developed over the years. Noble Delisas are very mystical and can be powerful creatures and the current theory is that the ancient Delisa breed has shared some of its potential to Padros.
