Default Hoof handling

Does anyone have any advice on how to train a horse to let you handle its hind hooves without getting kicked? The horse in question is a seven year old mare that I recently bought from a lady who apparently had no success in this area either. She did not know what caused the horse to kick when its hind hooves were approached and had never bothered to shoe the horse in the back after a couple of failed attempts. The horse so far has no other bad vices and doesn't mind getting the front hooves messed with at all. Any advice, opinions are appreciated.
