Basic Dressage Horse, Silhouette

Dressage Horse Silhouette Weathervane
Click Here for Pricing
This version of our
basic Dressage Horse was originally commissioned as a group gift
for a elementary school teacher who was retiring to devote her time to her
favorite pursuit. We sent the teachers participating in the gift two
"lucky pennies", one from the year the teacher started started working at the
school, and one from the year in which she retired. They all made wishes
on the pennies, sent them back to us, and they cap the ends of the horizontal
tube that represents the ground under the horses hooves. Those pennies were part
of the gift when presented to the teacher.
Silhouette weathervanes
were very popular around the turn of the century and offered a less expensive
alternative to full bodied weathervanes. This particular weathervane was
made in copper although we have made silhouettes where we gold leaf the mane and
tail as an accent to the copper. Two additional versions of the basic
Dressage Horse are shown below. We also offer several other
horse weathervanes doing different forms of
dressage.
The purest
form of classical riding, as well as dressage, High School dressage, of
Haute Ecole, take years for both the horse and rider to master. When a horse has
finished its training, it can not only perform Grand Prix dressage movements
like collect and extended gaits, passage, and piaffe,
but can perform "Airs Above the Ground." These include the courbette, capriole,
levade, and ballotade. All these movements come from when the horse was used in
war, and these were for protection against the enemy.
