Possible complications with a shed. Any ideas?

Hi, my LP shed around 7 am today, (over 14 and a half hours ago now) and her front four legs don't seem right at all. Normally when my T's shed their legs harden and the blood's flowing fine in a couple of hours. She has moved around a little, and was flexing fine when she first shed. Maybe I just haven't noticed this before, but just in case - anyone have any theories? Ta.

Looks like a normal post shed T to me. Literally, the only thing you could do at this point is raise the humidity and wait; But I don't see anything abnormal.

Cheers, just seemed odd that everything stopped at her knees, wondered if they'd been squashed in the molt. Ok, I'll give the little mare some more humidity, ta. :)

It was just that her front four legs took so long to harden & get the blood flowing properly just below the knees. I thought maybe they'd been constricted in her molt or something. This morning they looked fine though, :) She's obviously knackered and hasn't moved much since, but she seems fine, ta.
