Here is an interesting set of photos - interesting if you are a hoof anorak, that is.... The top photo is of Storm's LF a while before he came here. You can see the heel buttress and that there is a lot of heel above the frog - if you laid a rasp across the back of the foot there would be a considerable gap between heel and frog.
The hoof is otherwise healthy-looking; it might look as if the heels are too high, though but in fact its the frog which is under-developed. You can imagine that this type of foot would have a tendency to land toe first because of the weak caudal hoof.
