			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-1.png"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-73" title="picture-1" src="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-1-200x149.png" alt="picture-1" width="200" height="149" /></a>Well it&#8217;s not like if winter was very long but I feel so relieved it finally came, you can&#8217;t imagine! I can put back my flip flops, Oleander is shedding and I don&#8217;t have to worry about the mud all over my shoes anymore.</p>
<p>Yeah, this is nice weather. Unfortunately, we tend to forget that we are still in a terrible drought&#8230; And it&#8217;s not getting better. Drought after drought, it looks like this year the water restrictions are going to be bad. So we try to save water! Ole will only have ONE bath this year: right before inspection. Then she will be allowed to go back at being a dirty piggy. </p>
<p>Anyway! As you&#8217;ve probably noticed, I upload new pictures regularly, I try to keep this website as updated as I can but sometimes I am just too lazy&#8230;<br />
Last weekend Ole had her first run in the round-pen! Not exactly the first one, as she&#8217;s already been in the round pen at Brookside, but it was her first time at this one! We have a really exiting life, have we not? <a href="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-3.png"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-72" title="picture-3" src="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-3-200x149.png" alt="picture-3" width="200" height="149" /></a><br />
We&#8217;ve been &#8220;working&#8221; on going on the trails, and we have a lot of fun! Going up and down the hills is very fun according to Ole! But this time we went ALL the way to the arenas and the round pens and since nobody was in there, I decided to introduce Ole and the free lunge. I mostly let her trot/canter around, didn&#8217;t ask her much&#8230; She was a bit anxious. No horse was around and in this new environment she wasn&#8217;t the bravest one <img src='http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-11.png"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-75" title="picture-11" src="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-11-200x149.png" alt="picture-11" width="200" height="149" /></a>Buuuuut she did really good and I finally had the chance to see how her movements had evolved. Actually, she trots really nicely! I love her hock action and the fact that she pushes very hard from behind. Her canter is&#8230; OK. I mean, there&#8217;s nothing special! She is very compact and she doesn&#8217;t have such a big stride. She has a good balance though.</p>
<p>I am going to let you see for yourself as the nicest husband on earth went with us to video tape!!   </p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZqCit6v1lW0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZqCit6v1lW0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object> </p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><span id="more-71"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Bon ce n&#8217;est pas comme si l&#8217;hiver a été si long mais vous ne pouvez pas imaginer comme je me sens si libérée que le printemps soit enfin là! Je peux remettre mes tongues, Oleander commence a perdre son poil d&#8217;hiver, et je n&#8217;ai plus à m&#8217;inquièter de la boue sur mes chaussures. </p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Ouais, c&#8217;est un temps sympa. Malheureusement, on a tendance à oublier qu&#8217;on est toujours en état de sècheresse sévère&#8230; Et ça ne va pas en s&#8217;arrangeant. Sècheresse après sècheresse, il semble que cette année les restrictions d&#8217;eaux vont être cocasses. Donc on essaye de faire des économies d&#8217;eau! Ole n&#8217;aura qu&#8217;UNE douche cette année: juste avant son inspection. Après, elle aura le droit de retourner à son état de cochon dégueulasse. </p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Enfin bref! Comme vous l&#8217;avez probablement remarqué, je mets à jour régulièrement la galerie, j&#8217;essaye de garde ce site aussi à jour que possible mais parfois je suis atteinte de fénéantise aigue&#8230; </p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Le weekend dernier, Ole a eu son premier essai dans le rond de longe! Bon pas vraiment le premier parce qu&#8217;elle a déjà été dans le rond de longe à Brookside, mais c&#8217;était sa première fois dans celui-ci. Excitant, hein? <br />
En ce moment on travaille sur les balades à pieds and on s&#8217;éclate. Monter et descendre les collines c&#8217;est vraiment trop rigolo selon Ole! Mais cette fois, nous sommes allés jusqu&#8217;aux carrières et ronds de longe. Comme personne n&#8217;était là, j&#8217;ai décidé de donné à Ole sa première leçon de liberté. Je l&#8217;ai surtout laissé trotter et galoper, je ne lui ai pas demandé grand chose&#8230; Elle était un peu anxieuse. Aucun cheval n&#8217;était aux environs et dans ce nouvel environnement, Ole n&#8217;était pas la plus courageuse <img src='http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Maiiiiiiiiiis elle a vraiment bien fait. J&#8217;ai enfin eu la chance de voir comment ses allures avaient évoluées. Et d&#8217;ailleurs elle trotte vraiment sympa! J&#8217;adore son action des jarrets et le fait qu&#8217;elle pousse fort derrière. Son galop&#8230; Ca va. Il n&#8217;a rien d&#8217;exceptionnel. Elle est très compacte et elle n&#8217;a pas vraiment une foulée immense. Par contre elle a un équilibre sympa aussi.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Je vais vous laisser vous faire votre propre opinion en fait&#8230; Mon cher et tendre était sur place pour nous filmer!  </p>
<p style="text-align: left; "> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-65" title="dsc_5862" src="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dsc_5862-200x133.jpg" alt="dsc_5862" width="200" height="133" />Ok, so it&#8217;s official, we will be at the WCCS &#8216;09 at Twin Rivers Ranch! I don&#8217;t know about Ole, but I am pretty excited about that. I also signed her up for her inspection&#8230; I&#8217;ve never been to an american inspection before so it will be new for the both of us. But I think it&#8217;s going to be interesting to see how it goes around here. </p>
<p>Other than that, here in California, the weather is turning crazy (well, actually, I think this is the case pretty much everywhere in the world) and Ole is wondering between shedding or growing more hair. And I am turning on and off the heaters at home&#8230; That&#8217;s pretty annoying but it&#8217;s not the worst: California only had something like 35% of the average water we usually have at this period. Scary! Hopefully, more rain will drop soon and we will feel more comfortable.  </p>
<p>New picture, as soon as Ole stops eating all the time&#8230; </p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><span id="more-60"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Ok, donc c&#8217;est officiel, nous serons à la WCCS de 2009 à Twin Rivers Ranch! Je ne sais pour Ole, mais je suis plutôt enthousiaste quant à cet évènement. Je l&#8217;ai aussi inscrite pour son inspection&#8230; Je ne suis jamais allée à une inspection américaine jusqu&#8217;à maintenant, donc ce sera quelque chose de nouveau pour toutes les deux. Mais je pense que ce sera intéressant de voir comment celà se passe par ici. </p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Sinon, en Californie, le temps est complètement dingue (ouais bon ok, partout dans le monde) et Ole hésite entre perdre ou pousser de nouveaux poils. Pour ma part je passe ma vie à allumer et éteindre les chauffages à la maison&#8230; C&#8217;est assez ennuyeux mais ce n&#8217;est certainement pas le pire: nous n&#8217;avons eu que 35% de la moyenne de chutes de pluie qu&#8217;il est censé il y avoir en cette saison. Ca fait peur! Enfin bon, un peu de pluie est censée tomber bientôt, on se sentira un peu mieux. </p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Des nouvelles photos, dès qu&#8217;Ole cessera de passer sa vie le nez dans l&#8217;herbe&#8230; C&#8217;est pas demain la veille! </p>

Things have been quiet here, as usual, I just don&#8217;t take the time to write very often. Between work, my family life, Ole, and Ember&#8230; It&#8217;s like time is flying without me noticing anything.

<p>Things have been quiet here, as usual, I just don&#8217;t take the time to write very often. Between work, my family life, Ole, and Ember&#8230; It&#8217;s like time is flying without me noticing anything. </p>
<p>Anyway, Oleander is doing good now. She had a little episode a couple of weeks ago: she choked on we-don&#8217;t-know-what. The vet came out and tried to either push it in or out. After 2 hours of tube, we decided to take her to the clinic to do an endoscopy. Well I was scared this little incident was going to cost me my Christmas but fortunately, Ole heard me and just swallowed the thing during the hauling. Since then, she has been happy again in her pasture, eating and playing with friends. She actually has a new best friend: a little QH filly, she must be Ole&#8217;s age. They get along really well. </p>
<p>I uploaded a couple of pictures, not much. But I&#8217;ll try to put some more up as soon as I can. </p>
<p>Late Merry Christmas to all of you and a wonderful 2009. Full of joy, love and ponies in GOOD health!!!</p>
<p><span id="more-57"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Salut!</p>
<p>Les choses ont été plutôt tranquilles ici, comme d&#8217;hab&#8217;, je ne prends juste pas le temps d&#8217;écrire plus souvent. Entre le boulot, la famille, Ole et Ember&#8230; C&#8217;est comme si je ne voyais pas le temps passer. </p>
<p>Bref, Ole was bien maintenant. Elle a eu un p&#8217;tits soucis il y a quelques semaines: elle a fait un bouchon d&#8217;on ne sait quoi. Le véto est venu et a essayé de soit sortir le truc ou le pousser. Après 2h de tube, on a décidé de l&#8217;emmener à la clinique pour faire une endoscopie. J&#8217;avais peur que ce petit incident me coûte mon noël, mais heureusement, Ole m&#8217;a entendue et a just avalé le truc pendant qu&#8217;on la transportait pour la clinic. Depuis, elle est de nouveau heureuse dans son pré, à manger et jouer avec ses potes. Elle a d&#8217;ailleurs une nouvelle copine: une petite Quarter Horse de l&#8217;âge d&#8217;Ole. Elles s&#8217;entendent super bien. </p>
<p>J&#8217;ai mis en ligne quelques photos, pas des masses. Mais j&#8217;essayerai d&#8217;en mettre plus dès que je peux. </p>
<p>Joyeux Noël à la bourre à vous tous and une magnifique année 2009. Pleine de joie, d&#8217;amour et de poneys en BONNE santé!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Wow it has been a while. But I have to say that there isn&#8217;t much going on in our life lately&#8230; Ole is eating and eating and eating. Elise is working and working and working. </p>
<p>But last weekend, we had for a family hike with Leo. I wanted to take her out of her pasture for once and to walk her around in the pasture across the street. And she did really good (except when she smashed Leo&#8217;s ankle when she got scared of a cowboy), we went all the way to the arenas and we came back. Even when she got scared she didn&#8217;t take off or anything, she just came closer to me (ok really closer, she almost  walked on me but niah&#8230;). So that&#8217;s good, she doesn&#8217;t seem very spooky. <br />
And here is a little video of our afternoon. You will be able to see how Ole&#8217;s life is aweful.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><span id="more-56"></span></p>
<p>Hey bey, ça fait un moment. Faut dire que notre vie n&#8217;est pas super excitante: Ole bouffe et moi je travaille. </p>
<p>Mais le weekend dernier, nous sommes allés nous promener en famille avec Léo. Je voulais lui faire faire un tour dans la prairie d&#8217;à côté. Elle a été super, comme d&#8217;hab (ouais enfin sauf quand elle écrase la cheville de Léo quand elle a peur d&#8217;un cowboy), nous sommes allés jusqu&#8217;aux carrières et nous sommes revenus. Même quand elle a eu peur, elle n&#8217;est pas partie en vrille ou quoique ce soit, elle est juste venue plus près de moi (ok VRAIMENT près, genre je te pousse un peu en regardant ce qui fait peur). Donc bon, c&#8217;est bien, elle n&#8217;a pas l&#8217;air franchement peureuse.</p>
<p>Et voici une tite video de cette après-midi là. Et vous allez pouvoir vous rendre compte de l&#8217;affreuse vie d&#8217;Ole. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/dsc_2980.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-53" title="Ole and Leo" src="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/dsc_2980-200x155.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="155" /></a>Some of you guys may have wondered if Ole and I were going to the M &amp; M Show at Brookside in September. Unfortunately you won&#8217;t see us there. I hoped I could make it but forgot I had sent my entries for a show with Ember (the horse I ride while Ole is growing up) at Pebble Beach the same weekend. Plus I had a transportation issue, too. So in the end I just gave up and thought we would do something next year. Time flies by and I just have to decide between so many choices. </p>
<p>But I am updating the gallery today with the photos Leo and I took today so you can forgive me. I thought that since I was not going to go to the M &amp; M Show, I would just do my own show at home. Ole is dusty and all on the pictures (even though she is still so shiny and I can&#8217;t figure, for the life of me, WHY) but you can at least see how she is evolving. I have to say I am in a middle of a big brag time because I just love how she is maturing so far&#8230; So screw all of you that don&#8217;t think the same thing, I just don&#8217;t care!</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><span id="more-52"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Certains d&#8217;entre vous ont dû se demander si Ole and moi allions aller au concours de modèle et allures &#8220;Mountain &amp; Moorland Show&#8221; à Brookside en Septembre. Malheureusement, vous n&#8217;allez pas nous y voir. J&#8217;espèrais pouvoir y aller mais j&#8217;avais oublié que j&#8217;avais déjà envoyé mes engagements pour un concours avec Ember à Pebble Beach le même weekend (c&#8217;est la jument que je monte en attendant qu&#8217;Ole finisse de grandir). En plus j&#8217;avais aussi des soucis de transport. Donc j&#8217;ai juste laissé tombé et pensé que nous ferons quelque chose probablement l&#8217;année prochaine. Le temps pas trop vite et je dois just prendre des décisions entre beaucoup de choix. </p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Mais je suis en train de mettre à jour la galerie avec les photos que Leo et moi avons pris aujourd&#8217;hui pour que vous poussiez me pardonner. J&#8217;ai pensé que comme je n&#8217;allais pas à ce concours, j&#8217;allais tout simplement en faire un à la maison. Ole est poussièreuse et tout sur les photos (bien que toujours super brillante, d&#8217;ailleurs je ne comprends pas pourquoi) mais vous pourrez au moins voir comment elle évolue. Je dois dire que je suis en train de me vanter à fond là tout simplement parce que j&#8217;adore comme elle est en train de devenir. Donc à tous ceux qui ne pensent pas la même chose: allez vous faire voir, je n&#8217;en ai rien à secoué! <img src='http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/dsc_1600.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-51" title="Oleander and a bird" src="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/dsc_1600-200x133.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="133" /></a>Yep, she did it again! I had to call the vet on Monday because this little girl had a sore mouth (hyper salivation, she was dropping food and eating slowly). I had a look in it this weekend and couldn&#8217;t see anything wrong except a couple of Fox tails I took off her mouth. On Monday she wasn&#8217;t feeling really better so the vet came on Tuesday to have a look. At the beginning I was confused because she was eating so much better. I asked the vet to sedate her and have a look anyway, just to make sure. She couldn&#8217;t see anything wrong until she looked under her tongue. It was FULL of fox tails and it was lacerating her tongue. No wonder why she was not feeling great. So we took off everything and she went back to her pasture. Hopefully she&#8217;s learnt from her mistake and won&#8217;t try to eat that again&#8230; But I doubt that. </p>
<p>Anyway, I have updated the gallery, if you want to go ahead and have a look, you are welcome!</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><span id="more-50"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Ouaip, elle a recommencé ! J&#8217;ai dû appelé la véto lundi parce que cette petite demoiselle avait la bouche douloureuse (forte salivation, elle faisait tomber de la nourriture et mangeait doucement). J&#8217;ai jeté un coup d&#8217;oeil vite fait ce weekend mais je n&#8217;ai rien vu si ce n&#8217;est quelques épis de blé sauvage que j&#8217;ai enlevé de suite. Lundi elle n&#8217;allait pas vraiment mieux donc la véto est venue mardi pour regarder. Au début j&#8217;étais sceptique parce qu&#8217;elle mangeait mieux. J&#8217;ai quand même demandé à la véto de la tranquiliser et de regarder avec plus d&#8217;attention là dedans, juste pour être certaine. Elle ne voyait rien d&#8217;anormal jusqu&#8217;à ce qu&#8217;elle soulève la langue. C&#8217;était REMPLI d&#8217;épis de blé qui lui lacéraient la langue. Pas étonnant qu&#8217;elle n&#8217;allait pas fort&#8230; Donc on a terminé d&#8217;enlever les moindre petits épis, puis elle est retournée au pré. Avec un peu de chance, elle a compris la leçon et ne remangera pas de ça tout de suite&#8230; Mais je suis un peu dubitative quant à l&#8217;intelligence de ma ponette <img src='http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Dans tous les cas, j&#8217;ai renouvellé la galerie, si vous voulez aller y faire un tour, vous y êtes le bienvenu !</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/gallery?g2_itemId=163&amp;g2_page=2"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-49" title="Oleander cantering" src="http://otypioupiou.elzz.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/dsc_0866-200x133.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="133" /></a>Here we go, Ole is home, and I am so glad I picked this place. The pasture is HUGE and there is not too many horses in it. <br />
The trip went great, she got in the trailer in a heartbeat, traveled nicely even when we had to stop to grab a lunch: no crying, no stepping in the trailer,&#8230; She was a reaaaally good girl. </p>
<p>We arrived at the pasture around 1:45pm. The other horses were busy eating their hay, so I could safely put her in there. She first met the 1yo mule and was not really sure about him. Then she met a huuuuge Quarter Horse who fell in love with her. She was chased around a little bit by the alpha, but quite frankly not as much as I thought it would be. When we left (after 2 hours, I was anxious about leaving her alone right away) she was sharing her pile of hay with the big chestnut QH. <br />
The funny thing is that she never panicked, she was clearly wondering what was going on, but she wasn&#8217;t cantering around crying and panicking.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s good news, I&#8217;ll go have a look on her tomorrow morning before going to the show I am supposed to photograph (well maybe after, it is not really on my way). But so far she seemed great. </p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><span id="more-48"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Voilà, Ole est à la maison, et je suis ravie d&#8217;avoir choisis cet endroit. Le pré est IMMENSE et il n&#8217;y a pas trop de chevaux dedans. <br />
Le voyage s&#8217;est super bien passé, elle est montée dans le van en 1 seconde, elle a voyagé gentiment même quand on a dû s&#8217;arrêter pour prendre quelque chose à manger: elle n&#8217;a ni pleurer, ni piétiner&#8230; Elle a été une petite pouliche exemplaire!</p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Nous sommes arrivés au pré aux alentours de 13h45. Les autres chevaux étaient occupés à manger leur foin alors j&#8217;ai pris la mettre là dedans sans danger. Elle a d&#8217;abord rencontrer la mule de 1 an, mais elle était pas vraiment rassurée à propos de cette chose. Puis elle a rencontre un ENORME Quarter Horse qui est tombé amoureux d&#8217;elle tout de suite. Elle a été chassée un peu par la dominante du troupeau et les autres, mais franchement, bien moins que je ne pensais que ce serait. Quand nous repartions (après 2h sur place, j&#8217;étais un peu anxieuse de la laisser toute seule tout de suite) elle était en train de partager sa pile de foin avec le gros Quarter Horse alezan.<br />
Ce qui est rigolo, c&#8217;est qu&#8217;elle n&#8217;a jamais paniqué, elle se demandait clairement ce qu&#8217;il se passait, mais elle n&#8217;était pas là à galloper en rond en hénissant et paniquant. </p>
<p style="text-align: left; ">Donc c&#8217;est une bonne nouvelle, j&#8217;y vais demain pour voir comment elle se porte avant d&#8217;aller photographer un concours (quoique, peut-être après plutôt, ce n&#8217;est pas vraiment sur ma route). Mais jusqu&#8217;à présent, elle semblait super.</p>

We worked a little bit in Hand in the arena&#8230; The beast was hot! But she was listening and watching out to not step on me. It feels good to have a yearling that actually doesn&#8217;t step on you every there is a sound. She is very respectful. </p>
<p>Ok and I uploaded a couple of pictures in the gallery: enjoy!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-46"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Je suis allée à Livermore aujourd&#8217;hui pour vermifuger Ole et pour récupérer ses affaires (je n&#8217;aurai pas le temps de faire ça Samedi). On a travaillé en main dans la carrière un peu&#8230; La bête était CHAUUUUDE! Mais elle écoutait et faisait attention à ne pas m&#8217;écraser à chaque pas. Ca fait du bien d&#8217;avoir un poulain qui ne t&#8217;écraser par dès qu&#8217;il y a une craquement de brindille. Elle est très respectueuse, ça fait plaisir. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ok et j&#8217;ai mis en ligne quelques photos dans la galerie : profitez!</p>
