Problems with farrier, dont know what to do next

I feel your pain, as someone whose previous horse was a shiverer in front, and needed veterinary sedation every time he was shod.

I booked a day off work each time so I could be there, and it sounds like you might need to do the same (or could you work from home once every 6 weeks?).

Ultimately, the only way you will know what's going on is to be there, so you know what's working and what isn't, and can do "farrier desensitization" training in between visits, assuming the problem is a behavioural one.

If the horse is upset and pickling about, the farrier can't do his job properly, and he could get hurt, so of course it needs to be sorted, but I am sure you will be able to get on top of it fairly quickly now you know there's a problem. Best of luck x
