Get the vet and farrier to work together. If a youngster is left like this the joint capsuals will close and they will be like this permanantly.... worst case scenario is that the joints fix in this position and you are left with a pony with a wonky leg and a twisted foot. A good vet and farrier will have it sorted out within a year.
