I was having a chat with a non-horsey friend about my riding ability and what level I thought I was at.
I said that I felt I was still quite novice and had a lot to learn, to which she replied "how can you be! you own a racehorse!" I told her it meant nothing (he was too slow for a racing career!) and feel quite far away from being an expert yet.
My question is, when did you go from describing yourself as a novice rider to someone more advanced? and what does the term novice/advanced mean to you?
