Nope - looking at those feet, they have ABSOLUTELY NO heel.  The feet are flat with no bulbs - or very little bulb - and the coronary band is virtually on the ground.  The toe is so long, I cringe every time I see the horse in the arena.

What cheeses me off, is that the owners / farriers carry on with this!  Then you see them using tendon boots to "protect" the horse.  Ugh
