You say she has a severe underbite and kind of snort? That may be your biggest long term problem. She may develop complications from that. She may not be able to compete for food as she grows so if i were you I would make sure she is fed separately all of her life.
Her legs are looking much better. You may notice that they will look really good first thing in the morning and as the day wears on you will see they start weakening again. they may bend in one direction one day and a different direction the next until the bones have formed completely.
When she lays down they look straight because the pressure has been tken off of them. She will still move them when she is laying down and that will help strengthen them without damage.
She should not be out with other horses right now because she is just not strong enough to get out of anyones way and she may get hurt.
i do hope you keep us posted on her progress.
