Two months old...

Izzy is now two months old, as of yesterday. She is getting so tall and strong. She's in the process of getting weaned, and only receives 2-4 bottles a day, depending on how hungry she is. She is out with Luna, my grey thoroughbred mare, all day now. They're turned out on the big field, and our neighbor's grass field during the day. If the weather is bad they're turned out in the barn with access to the smaller paddock. Izzy now eats about 2-4 qts of a pelleted feed, with 4 cups of foal lac pellets mixed in. She receives a little bucket at every feeding (AM & PM) and then has a free choice foal feeder, so that she can eat when she's hungry and Luna can't steal it. She's already like a big horse, well at least she thinks she's all grown up ;).

For about the last month, we haven't done any work with her, we've just let her be a horse and let Luna teach her how to be a horse. She has forgotten some of her manners in that process, so we may have to have a refresher course ;)
