The games in the hippodrome will serve to drain repressed emotions, to improve behaviors, to facilitate coexistence with both animals and humans. This sporting or medicinal practice is a good stimulant to acquire security in the realization of projects since learning to be a good rider requires practice and courage, and this demonstrates that the obstacles that life presents can be overcome.
Objectives of the direct experience in the racecourse.
- The acceptance of challenges that will transform and train the individual with courage.
- Acquire skills.

The role of the educator so that the experience in the racetrack has the desired learning.
Direct experiences must be rewarding and for children to understand better, it must be something tangible beyond the theory, which allows understanding from their own experimentation.The educator must inform the students of the exit to the racecourse, and for them it will be very funny since it is about being in contact with animals, and this is a longed for dream.
But it is necessary to give instructions to attend the hypodrome:
- The representative must sign the authorization to exit the hypodrome.
- Before the departure, the behavior of the children will be evaluated, to verify which will be selected, since it is necessary to reward with actions that allow the children to understand the result of a good procedure.
Learning and fun activities at the racecourse.
Playing, learning and having fun is what makes the acquisition of knowledge rewarding.Students will learn to defend themselves, to lose their fear, to relate, to understand the meaning of attention, and this is done so that the child can practice it in everyday activities.
Animals require attention and care as the human being, so at the racetrack they will forge a sense of responsibility in children.
Activities:
The students will give the horses a vital liquid (water).
Under supervision, children can place containers filled with water to the animals, and this will make them understand the similarities. Just as animals need water consumption, man also because they have surprising similarities.
Providing services or humanitarian aid to all who need it is based on making conscious use of basic needs. It is necessary to explain things from the simplest to the most complex, so that children capture the educational message.
Activity to transmit love to animals to improve relationships.
Horses are like human beings, they feel, they listen, they understand feelings, the more love you give them, the better their relationship will be.
The children need to be in direct contact with the horses, to caress them, to transmit their feeling of care and affection, so that it is easier to play and carry out the activities with them.
When the animal feels the warm contact of the hands, it generates the feeling of kindness and the desire to be with him to play. The more coexistence exists, the better the relationship will be.
The children should be given space with the beautiful horses so that they know each other and the bond between them is created. Always under supervision in the barn, since it is the first time they have contact and it is important to avoid any kind of incident.
In the same way, this activity will allow children to improve contact with classmates, because the more friendship is nurtured, the better the relationship is, and that is what should be understood and put into practice.
