Which do you think really teaches you the best for your money? I've always been a fan of group or semi-private so I could see other people riding and hear what mistakes they made, but I have friends who wouldn't ride with another student if the lesson was free. What's your take?

I think it depends on the person. Some people learn best when they around others, while some learn best with just a couple of people. And obviously, some learn best when the instructor is focuessed on just them

I think I would learn better hands down with one other person. Sometimes with a group people can get embarrassed real quick and worry they would mess up too bad and so on, I would be that type too.

I really think that at first private lessons are the best because you can focus better on form and technique. Once you becoma a little more skilled group lessons are fine because you can go off and practice on your own.

I think if you are an adult and you are really serious about learning to ride you need to go with a private lesson. This will be a much more focused and intense learning time than a group lesson. If you're just looking to get into riding for the fun of it you should try the group lesson. It will be a little more relaxed and you will probably make a lot of friends.

I do much better with a small group. I learn a lot from watching other people in action. I'm not real self conscious. I've already been tossed into a mudhole. Can it get any more embarrassing?

I like this also. I learn from other peoples mistakes. I hate to figure it all out on my own. The only thing I don't like is when I goof up and make a fool of myself.
