Converting the Stables into the main Exhibition Space

A missing link in the One Off story is that with the success of the creation of the stable annex, we decided to go all out and convert the whole stable. The decision was informed by the pressing need for extra exhibition space and simultaneously, all our equine family developed Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to varying degrees.

New equine accommodation

Candy and Chloe

Our vets recommended that all the horses and donkeys immediately be moved to a very open environment and we quickly cobbled together new stables on our arena.  Many people look shocked and worried about 'what happened to the horses' but as you see from the photographic evidence, they don't seem resentful about the downgrade in accommodation.  Indeed, Cooper's Creek and Zweli are coming up for 28 years old and CariBlanco is keeping up with them. We pray daily for their continued well-being.

The completed stable conversion with Lisa Milroy's beautiful exhibition 'Handmade'.

Our opening exhibition on 7th April 2018, was 'Handmade' by super-star artist Lisa Milroy.  Lisa hails from London and we were enormously fortunate to have her exhibit with us.  At the time she was the graduate painting instructor at The Slade, one of Britain's most prestigious art schools.  She has subsequently had her work accepted into the collection of the Tate Modern.  We could hardly hope for a more eminent opening artist.
