Advantages: excellent tuition and horses Disadvantages: might have to wait to get a place
I used to ride at snowdon but stopped when i got my own horse as i couldn't afford both. I went their for several years after starting riding at another school that although it became an ABRS school it was actually shocking. On discovering Snowdon, i had to wait to get a place but it was worth the wait as the tuiton, facilities and horses were all fantastic. i had many class lessons and a few privates and learnt a lot of new skills. I wouldnt class the horses as typical ridingschool ponies - they are a much better standard. In the summer i did a bit of xc which was always good fun and my jumping skills increased. Everyone was really friendly who worked there and it had a pleasant atmosphere. I made many good friends on my riding lessons as wel.. ...
Advantages: A good quick read for kids, Action packed, slightly witty Disadvantages: Unbelievable, Simplistic discriptions, Slightly 2-D charcters

Now you've got a bit of background, how about the plot?

Maximum Ride (Max) the leader of the group who also happens to have ...
Advantages: A mellower sound that really highlights the vocals of Stringer Disadvantages: Totally forgotten and dismissed to the baragin bins too quickly
Over the years there have been a number of bands that have been by and large overlooked by the British music buying public. After their success with "Place your Hands" it seems that Reef slide away into this category to almost be totally forgotten about. It would probably be a surprise to many that since releasing the track they'll always be remembered for they have subsequently released another three albums. This is their third Studio album and comes two years after the success of "Place Your Hands" and seems to highlight the start of the decline that seen Reef become the forgotten band.
Recorded just two years after the bands second album Glow, Rides is perhaps an album that should have been a lot bigger than it actually was. The Somerset 4 piece had been steadily growing in stature with their first two albums but the third album ...
