We found out it is the actual hammering of "nails" that puts him over

anything else but the nails going in are in his panic

My gelding was difficult to shoe... not really bad, but he kept pulling his
feet away and dancing around while the nailing was being done. My shoer changed
to a thinner nail (don't know how to word that, but a nail not as fat as his
usual nails) and now my gelding falls asleep when the shoes go on.
