You need to establish your leadership over them by moving their feet forwards, backwards, left and right. Do not try to hold them still. This makes them feel trapped, as if they cannot run away from the danger, and scares them more. Instead, just direct their energy in another way. Yield their hindquarters/ forequarters, do some lunging for respect (if you don't know what that is, just ask another question because I cant go into it now), back them up, side pass them, and whatever else you can do. A leader horse can move a lesser horse around like this. So, when you move them around, they view you as their leader, and when they look to their leader (you) and see that you are calm, they will realize that you are calm, and since you are the leader and you are calm, they will think that there is nothing to be afraid of.
Also, maybe not when they are scared, but at another time, find whatever noisy thing you can, and desensitize your horse to it. Trash bags tied to the end of a whip, bull whips, guns (you can get ones that shoot blanks), trash can lids, anything that would scare a horse. Then find a round pen, and holding the rope tightly, swing the whip with the trash bag (or whatever else you are using) and make a good bit of noise. and don't go easy on it either, flap that thing around until the horse holds still, and then immediately take it away. Get closer and repeat. Do it on both sides until you can get right up on the horse and make the noise without him flinching. After about a dozen or so things that you desensitize the horse to, he will learn that only standing still makes it go away, not running off. So this will help with a spooky horse too.

HOW do you handle a spooky horse?
○Try not to be nervous. Horses can sense your mood, and if you're nervous it will be too. Smiling to yourself can help for you to stay calm ○Talk to it in a calm and subtle voice. I think you would feel much better if someone talk nice and steady than yelling out things. ○Don't look at what might be spooking your horse. Or if you're sure what is spooking your horse. Remove it. Or maybe bring it up to the horse. Let it sniff it or rub it on it's neck. ○Don't rush up to it or shyly go up to it. Go up with confidence. ○Stoke it, and feed it some treats for it to trust you. Give it some attention. Hope this helps. If the horse panics, cover it's eyes and remove it from the area.
