We accomplished our project at Jockey Club in Rio de Janeiro with the equitherapist Gustavo Cali. At this place occurs equitherapy sessions - a kind of therapy directed to development of  the biopsychosociability of neurological deficiency children bearers, with the horse three-dimensional movements utilization. The object of the project was recognized by the group of word that are part of gustavo's universal vocabulary: “The magic is to do a child find her balance, overcoming problems, while tranquility plays in the horse”. The equitherapist work has always been developed with the goal of practicing notions of balance, coordination and helping children to overcome their problems. To hit those targets, exercises that involve the overcoming of obstacles, and routes through cones and bambolees are done. Based on these experiments accomplished by the intercessor we identified his intentions of helping children to overcome problems and to find their balance. Our final project is a miniature of a circus ring made by wood, cotton, lycra, velcro, and ‘’biscuit” (pieces).While the child is on the horse our miniature is placed on his/hers lap and he/she has to create a route. After, the child has to actually perform the route at the circus ring, stimulating sideways sense, coordination, creativity and balance, according to the intercessor. I learnt we can get to know somebody suddenly and that this can make something unpredictable happen.(Diogo) I learnt trying and hearing what other people have to say.(Gouramani)
