Thanks everyone.Here is a side view I will try to get better ones tommorrow.I watched a short film with a natuarl trimmer teaching to trim the bars.She exsplained that when the bars are left long not trimmed that sole builds up to the bone inside the hoof & has no place to go so the next step is  it causes pressure against the wall which leads to seperation? I guess I am concerned because my trimmer is not trimming the bars.I have an appointment this weekend so I plan to talk to her about it then.The women who trimmed the bars in the film thinks when bars are left & not trimmed it can be one of the reasons for a contracted heal.When I look at the wild horse hoof pictures I notice the bars are not long so I guess I am wondering if this can be a possible factor in the slow process.Thanks it good to go to those who have the knowledge.It may be the simple fact she is just a slow at opening her heals.I guess in my mind a year & a half I should see her heals opening some but maybe I need to be more patient.Her heels are high I think too they have been that way for years.I will take more measurements & pictures after the trim.She is past due the weather has been killing our schedule.I will stop at the Pete Ramey website thanks.
