Dolalin built an amazing classic evidence search engine:
https://search.eqarchives.org/ If you want to fix seahorse fear, or anything else, you should use that tool to find evidence.
For instance, in just two minutes, searching for "kedge keep seahorse fear", I found this gem:
an old school GeoCities guide to Kedge Keep (from October 2001, so not quite in classic ... but still close enough, especially given that Luclin probably didn't impact Kedge much).
It includes this:

What Verant failed to do, however, was to disable the player's ability to charm the inhabitants of Kedge. Herein lies the problem, and a dilemma for those with the ability to charm.

It also has this wonderful take on how classic charming

The nightmare usually plays out this way: 1) puller lures two fish back to the party, 2) druid charms one of the fish, 3) the party watches in amazement as the pet rips apart his comrade for any easy kill, 4) the druid then swims a short distance to med in safety, 5) as the druid moves, his pet tries to follow and gets caught in a "track", 6) the pet swims back and forth in confusion for a few seconds, then swims away, 7) silence, 8) druid says "charm broken, get ready", 9) pet appears in the midst of the party with a pack of "friends", 10) LOADING... PLEASE WAIT....

But the point is ... Dolalin is amazing for creating that search engine ... so take advantage of it!
