I had an invitation to visit Goldstraw Farm in Ness, purchased by lovely friends who were also former clients here.
They have some great plans for their fabulous farm which overlooks the Dee estuary.
They have a couple of Topline Equine Academy horses grazing the land Kizzy and Cassius who look content in there new settings, its just wow!
