My new foal's legs look wonky. Is this normal or will they straighten?

Question

This is my last question, I hope. I love having y'alls input and opinions!! Butter (mama) got up after a quick rest..she is doing well..☺ She carries the dwarf gene. I noticed the babies legs/back feet look a little different.. Is it normal? Will it straighten out? Thank you all soooo much. Y'all are the best! Pet's info: Farm Animal | Horse | Female | unspayed

Congrats on the new foal! It is normal for there to be some "wonky" looking legs right after birth, and most wonkiness will work itself out as baby gets a bit stronger and starts to move around more within a few weeks. If you do see any growing deformities, trouble getting around, the legs don't straighten out after a week or two, or swelling of the limbs, having a vet take a look is best.
