I can't understand, is this like a college or? What does it mean redeas?
Thank you very much paty bh : )

Rédeas means rein.
and yes it is like a university, specialized in horses, for people wich wants to take care of horses. There is a lot of short curses about it and degree diploma as well.

Universidade do Cavalo - Home

This is an univerity I would like to take. Is it a veterinary course or riding course? I can't understand. Is that people admired in Brazil? I'm asking because here in my country there isn't any courses like this.
Oho, everyone told me it was hard to come back home after a year in Brazil.
I found a ranch in Pantanal (Mato Grosso I think) and those people organize 10 days riding tours. It sounds great. Have you been there?
What brazilians generally think about horses, riding and living from horses? Like someone who have a ranch and works with horses. I mean this family in Pantanal lives from tourism right?

I´ve never been there in Pantanal, but it is a magical place with a very beautiful nature.
It is true that it will be dificult to leave Brazil after to stay some time here.
There is a lot of ranchs like that in Pantanal, some families are open their farms for the tourism.
It is a very profitable business, But I guess that you need to have some money to invest, those horses are very expensive ( of course you know that)

Well about the curse in Universidade do Cavalo, I translated some information for you, if you need some more just tell me.

The course offers graduate-level higher with the practical aspects, especially designed for people wishing to work focused in the horses, give riding establishments, work in businesses, equestrian, Haras manage and be a recognized professional in this market. The course was developed due to great demand in the market to obtain professional qualifications required of the horse industry with recognition and support of an educational institution.

So, Pantanal is my dream place. I didn't know that when I was sending the application for exchange and I didn't wrote that, that's bad. I don't know yet where am I going.

This universidade do cavallo sounds great. I didn't hear that the other universities have all of this four courses.
Can you translate for me, who are the teachers on the university. If it is written on the web page. I really can't understand anything, the word are so long, and difficult. But, I'm learning portuguese only 3 months.

It is not true! Horses in Brazil are treated in some times best than some people.
