Snowman would do anything my dad asked of him, and I believe that is because Snowman understood that my dad saved him and that down deep, the two of them were connected and somehow both of their lives were gonna be affected forever because they met.
This is a quote from Harriet deLeyer from the movie, Harry and Snowman. Harriet is talking about the relationship between her father, Harry deLeyer, and Snowman, the $80 former plow horse rescued from a truck bound for a slaughter house. Snowman later was named Horse of the Year and the pair won the jumper championship several times at the National Horse Show in New York City.
I also recommend the book, The Eighty-Dollar Champion: Snowman, The Horse That Inspired a Nation, by Elizabeth Letts.
There are many ways to build a connection with your horse. Based on my experiences, I think that helping your horse is one of them.
