I'd be wary my prev horse became very difficult to do anything with his hind feet with in the last few years of his life due to advancing hock arthritis. He was absolutely lovely in all ways but he just couldn't cope with having his back feet lifted further than a few cm from the floor (we eventually came up with a way of picking them out with the toe resting on the ground) and would behave like he was going to fall over if you tried.
Current horse is more or less unshoeable (but that's a different story) but he can occasionally get a bit kicky / snatchy with his back feet. I suspect his is mainly due to occasional lapses in manners as it's normally when he's being impatient!
