São José do Rio Preto, Country Style Capital

Known as the capital of the State of São Paulo's 8th regional administrative region, in Brazil, São José do Rio Preto, as it is also known, is proud to be the host of a number of country, cattle-breeding and agrobusiness events.


Rodeo Courses

Captured by the camera of "Dionisio Dhandréa" for regional events, young people who dream of becoming big names in rodeo courses can often be dangerous.

Currently in the region of "Sao Jose do Rio Preto" Town, there is open enrollment and courses for young cowboys who wish to be become a rider in professional rodeo horses and bulls, Bull-Riders retirees, and great athletes of this sport, looking to have some income to more, renting some places in the field to promote these courses, all of the knowledge base of those who were once star of this radical sport.

The press and local media has reported accidents and even deaths have been recorded in these environments, which now requires and demands, rules and inspections by the authorities, or even ask, what rules must be followed, and what age should be required to attend a course like this. Not wanting to promote critical, but the real treat is to act carefully and responsibly, especially by parents, for the good of all and especially Brazilian rodeo.
