The heels of my horses hind feet are much different than the front... It seems like there is very little heel, and that the point where it touches the ground is very far forward.. Until I learn how to upload pictures, I'll just post links...
Does my horse have a heel problem? And if so, how is this fixed?
Also, ANY comments on her hoof health, whether good or bad, will be appreciated
Here's the feet:
Right hind Sole:

Back of hind feet:

I do realize I'm VERY bad with a camera and these pictures are possibly tricky angles.. Also, if anyone needs another view, or a better attempt of the ones above, let em know and i'll get it asap, thanks!
Edit: Another question I just though of... My horses legs get stocked up very easily when she is kept inside.. She's almost always outside, but was in before taking those pictures because of a storm.. She's stocked up slightly in the pictures.. Always just used her not being used to being inside for long periods of time as the explanation, but could it possibly be a hoof problem?
