Her belly is naturally this shape. Its not a hay belly, worms or a foal. Are there any other faults that I should be aware of and will she even out when she is in work?

Her Mum is much heavier and more of a draught horse, possibly a Belgium x, and has a pronounced roach back. I didn't breed her btw. I bought them as mare with foal at foot.
