You need to get him to focus on you and not what is scaring him. To do this, start moving his feet forward, backward, left and right. Whatever you do, don't try to hold him still. When a horse is scared, every fiber of his being says to run. If he can't run, he'll fight, so instead, let him move, but under your control.
You make sure it is not scared of you, otherwise you might get trampled.

To run. The first thing a horse will do when frightened is to run. If they feel trapped then they will fight by rearing and by kicking. Its called "Fight or flight". Fight or run.

How do you help a neglected horse?
Call the RSPCA or another horse rescuing company. I wouldn't suggest approaching a neglected horse because if it is trapped or starved, it will most likely be extremely scared meaning that it's first thing to do will be to lash out at what he may see as a predator, if hes been abused by a human, he wont go down without a fight and will therefore be scared of humans!

the 3 F's Flight- run away Fight- attack the thing its scared of Freeze- freeze dead on the spot. if your horse chooses to freeze this is generally because they have a good relationship with you and truse you. when a horse freezes it is looking to you for guidence and support so talk to it gentally and stay calm. is your horse runs away stay calm keep talking gentally to it and slowly ask the horse to stop don't pull to harshly or shout at the horse as this will scare them futher and one last thing don't cling on with your legs this will make the horse go faster. and again if the horse chooses to fight just talk to it and remain calm until it realises that it is nothing to be scared of! hope this helps :) xx
Does a horse flee when its scared?
Yes, horses are flight or fight animals. A horse's first reaction to something scary is to run (or flee). However, if he cannot flee, he will resort to fighting. It depends on the horse, some will, some won't. Remember that if a horse reacts badly when its scared, it doesn't mean to hurt anyone. Hope this answers your question!
