Dressage Horse Weathervane Extended Trot, Version 1 & 2
The Dressage Horse, extended trot weathervane shown in the larger view above, was made in copper with a brass mane and tail. Brass, which is primarily composed of copper, patinas similarly to copper but will show a subtle variation in color over time. We have also made this horse weathervane with a gold leaf mane and tail. While brass and gold leaf look similar when the weathervane is new, the gold leaf remains shiny and golden and over time, the distinction between the gold leaf and the copper becomes more pronounced.
The decision to go all copper, copper and brass, or copper with gold leaf depends on how prominent you want the weathervane to appear in its setting. Personally, I am a fan of the gold leafing because it keeps the visual dynamic more interesting as it moves through the patina process. Gold leaf also helps the weathervane stand out against a competitive background, such as trees.
The thumbnailed version above of the weathervane design was made for a customer who preferred a less extreme version of our original design. We worked with her to modify the design to her specifications. The cost to modify a design depends on how much rework is required and how much research we must do to make the modifications. If you are interested in modifying one of our designs, please give us a call at (831) 425-5505 to discuss your ideas. Once we have an idea of what you have in mind, we can prepare a quote for your consideration.
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.
