What you are worried about is where the laminae has separated and is now growing out, this should gradually improve as her feet get back to normal, make sure you get her trimmed regularly, ideally every 4-5 weeks and it will look fine in a few months.
 
It does not look like seedy toe, although it can sometimes develop into it, it looks normal for where she is in her recovery and as healthy as you would expect, when she has been reshod you may find most has gone but sometimes it will get worse before it gets better. If worried ask your farrier he should be happy to point out what is happening as the feet recover but I would be happy with what I can see in the photos they look normal in the circumstances.
 
Ah thank you so much! Glad to hear that it's looking normal !! She's still foot sore on stones but I think her feet may just be recovering still from it !
