Problem with alignment with .form-horizontal

When I apply the form-horizontal class to the _form.html.erb, it appears on my page: Content: and the form comes really super close to the content label - I tried changing padding and margin on bootstrap but I did not have any luck - someone can help me on how to fix this?

But it did not gave me any result at all
