Hi Tracey,

That  sounds to me like about as perfect a resolution as you could 
have.  I noted that you FIRST identified the problem, ie, Toc was 
petrified of a FARRIER at his rear end.  Next you found a farrier 
willing to take the time to use the horse's own mind to work out the 
problem.  Lastly, given the opportunity to think without fear, your 
horse was able to revise his attitude toward the shoeing process.

Congratulations to you and Pete for your patience and respect for Toc's 
fear.
