Dressage Horse Weathervane
This is our original horse weathervane design. It was commissioned by a weathervane collector who submitted a photo of her horse to us. In addition to commissioning this horse weathervane from us, she simultaneously commissioned the same design from two other custom handcrafted weathervane makers. She now has three unique interpretations of the same weathervane done by three of the foremost makers of custom handcrafted copper weathervanes (two of whom are now no longer in business)! Someday this trio of weathervanes should become quite valuable due of her unique vision and innovative approach to collecting weathervanes. If you look closely, you can see that we gold-leafed three of the four horse’s socks to transform this into a portrait weathervane (her horse was black with three white socks). We can also gild the mane and tail, a blaze on the forehead, etc. to offer a nice visual contrast between the weathered copper and the golden sections of the sculpture piece. Please look below for two additional interpretations of our Basic Dressage horse weathervane as well as several other dressage horse weathervanes offered by West Coast Weather Vanes. 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.
