James Goodfellow was born in Kelso Scotland in 1947. His parents owned Ferneyhill Farm which overlooked Kelso Race course in the Scottish Boarders. During his formative years he enjoyed country pursuits culminating in being selected as part of the Scottish Clay shooting team (skeet). On one occasion in an International competition at York he shot a perfect score ,100 pts , he always maintained that the stress he felt having hit 48 clays with just 2 to go was the highest he had ever experienced.
He bred, trainedand raced horses for many years, though his favourite horse Tough Test was latterly trained at Jonjo O’Neill’s stables in England. He was a passionate nature lover and ornithologist with a very comprehensive knowledge of birds. Later in his working life he was a chief buyer for meat suppliers who at that time were the major Scottish exporters to England.
