Try a centered riding exercise that involves opening your focus to look at the wider picture--the whole landscape. I forget what this technique is called, but the point is that if your are looking at the wider picture, you aren't focusing on ONE spooky. Look past spookies when you encounter them, or to one side.
It's called "soft eyes" and keeps you from hard focusing on things...the horse can feel that.
