I have been told it is better 2 take horseback lessons 1 on 1 is the only way to start out. is this so?

Question

i would rather take them in a group

Answer 1

Well that all depends. I started as a group lesson and it really helps you control the horse because there are many horses around.I would start out with that. Also, when you want to get really good do a couple Private lessons. You get better faster and learn more things about ridding. But be warned Private lessons are sooooo much harder because all the attention is on you!

Answer 2

It is always much better to take one-on-one lessons when you are first starting out riding. After about a month or two, group lessons are good if you plan to show. They help you understand what it feels like to ride with other people in a different... atmosphere, shall I say. Still, one-on-one lessons help to make sure your instructor is focused on you and only you so that they can help you progress faster and understand what EXACTLY you are supposed to do.

Hope it helps!

Answer 3

Personally I think that it is better after you have done 1 on 1 for a while then you should move to a group...........

Answer 4

No. I learned with my sister and cousin. It works better in a group. It's difficult to imitate a professional. You have a better time watching and imitating some one who has the feel fresh. You also have someone else to talk to besides the instructor.

Answer 5

Your first few lessons should definitely be one-on-one, especially if you have never ridden before. It's good to have undivided attention from an instructor when you are just starting out. It shouldn't be long till you can progress to having a group lesson, so just be patient. I've given many horseback riding lessons throughout the years and have found that this is the best way for a beginner to learn.

Answer 6

my friend started in a group, and loved it so i say go for it!! one on one lessons might advance quicker, but group lessons are lots of fun.
