Did the Danish, German, and Prussia soldiers who fought for Holland bring their firing and charging systems from home, or did they adopt the platoon firing and charge to contact methods of the Dutch?

My understanding is that they brought their systems from home and at least some of the units were converted to the platoon firing system of the British and Dutch. They in turn brought that home to their respective countries. Not sure that their cavalry changed their methods to reflect British and Dutch methods but would like to hear from others on that.
