how much heel?

[DreamWeaver <karen@chaton.gardnerville.nv.us>]

Just out of curiosity, now much heel does an average endurance horse
usually have?  Front feet?  Hind feet?  

One of my horses seems to have an adquate amount of heel on the front, but
the hind foot seems to be a little short on heel.  Though he's not
under-run - the angle in the back is about the same as the front.  

If anybody has any suggestions or could send me somewhere to look at
articles on the subject I'd really appreciate it.  My farrier isn't the
kind to take suggestions lightly.  (ha) 

Also, here is another questions.  This time about a horse that paddles
(gee, wonder why?) <g>.  When I got this horse, he didn't paddle.  I didn't
know better and used a really bad farrier (he was voted best in the Valley
though, so I wasn't the only dummy) and really messed up my horses.  That's
when the horse started/was paddling.  The new farrier has been working to
fix this problem and has actually made fabulous improvements in how the
horse moves.  But still has a slight paddle on the left front only.  Should
I just wait and assume this will clear up over time, or that it is
permenant; or maybe where is a way to do corrective shoeing to stop it?  I
don't believe it is conformational after viewing old videos of the horse
moving. 

Thanks for the info!
