If she will let you, I would try a gentle wash down, she might thank you for it especially now some of the soreness/swelling has gone down.

Oh Gosh jenny, not more worries for you!

It is hard for us to say without seeing her, could you take a video of her for us? Your friend was there with you so if she thinks it is nothing I am sure she is right. Some foals have some serious leg problems when they are born due to being squashed up inside mummy, they soon sort themselves out though. Diane and Anna have some wonderful examples of this somewhere on here, I can't remember but I think they were posted on Cassie's thread.
 
OMG! Just got home last night and was catching up this morning. Lady is absolutely beautiful

lucky dabba..Im getting a bit left behind with the foaling callender now..whos due next ??

 
 
I very much doubt it Jenny - usually the first sign is the foal being really off colour and moping around! With those long legs of hers I'm very suprised that Lady isn't MORE 'wonky'! Many foals with legs that long look as though they are wobbling around on stilts for several weeks after their birth.

Just make sure she gets plenty of 'out' time and has the room to race around without having to do sharp corners or sliding stops because she has reached a fence too soon and she will be fine.

Exactly right Renee n Jenny I hope your planning to stick around cos it's our turn to be the aunties for the other side of the world over the next few months

Oh yes Jenny, you are certainly one of the 'gang'. Plus I would like to thank YOU. I personally have learnt so much from the experiences that you have had with your minis this year (not good experiences for you, I agree), plus your willingness to share it all with us!

Can I add another 'thought' to your question about Lady's hind legs. Think back to when she was just born and you were drying her off. At this point and during/before birth, her back fetlocks were 'bent' anyway - just like they are if you pick up a foot to clean it our. Front legs are straight out but back hooves are held in a backwards position. It therefore follows that for the first week or more a foal will be walking a bit 'tippy-toe' on those back legs until normal exercise/running around can stretch the back tendons enough to let the heels reach the floor. Much better to have a foal born this way than one with 'lax' tendons, with it's heels and even fetlocks on the floor!!
 
Cassie, you are up too early, I hope your foot isn't still playing up
