I haven't studied any form of NH, I'm afraid, but I'm curious as to whether the way your horse reacts to something scary changed after you started doing NH?
No, I was just interested! I sometimes wonder if NH would have got me and Lou round our spooking issues sooner (she always stops when she sees something scary, and my old reaction was to tighten my reins and tap with my heels, which just led to her going backwards as fast as possible). I think I read an interview with an NH person several years ago (can't for the life of me remember who) where they were talking about how important it is to give horses time to consider scary situations rather than just expecting them to listen to your aids and forget their fear, and I started trying it with Lou to great success. I never studied it properly, but liked the idea as does my horse (I don't even know if I do it 'right'!) so I was just intrigued to see how NH has helped other people deal with 'spooks'.Are you having problems with a spooky horse HashRouge?
Keep on, keepin on

Honestly, the NH, 'spook in place' work has saved both our lives many times over now.
You have a 'safe exercise' to return to whenever you can feel fear rising in the horse.
