Passage Weathervane, Dressage Horse
We have made this passage horse weathervane with and without a rider. If you look closely, you will see that the leg position and tails on the two horses are slightly different. Because each weathervane is made to order, we are often able to accommodate customer's requests for additional personalization. Depending on the changes requested, we may charge a fee to make the changes, especially if they require submitting the reworked design for your approval. Please contact us if you have ideas about modifying the weathervane and we would be happy to discuss it further with you.
As our technical skill has grown, we are often able to make the entire lower body as one piece. Looking closely at the horse above you can see at the time we made this particular horse, we needed to break the body at the hindquarters. The head and neck still need to be crafted as a separate piece, but we place the joint at a natural contour in the horse's body.
We have also made the Passage Horse as a silhouette weathervane. We gilded the mane, tail and leg wraps to add visual interest but can make it entirely in copper or add palladium (silver colored) leaf instead if desired.
The Dressage Horse, Passage weather vane featured in this photo has glass eyes that were custom made for this weather vane. They give it a very life like appearance! Click here to view the eye color selections.
This silhouette Passage Horse weathervane was originally commissioned as a gift from one best friend to another. As part of the birthday present, the gift giver made special wishes on two pennies, one from the year her childhood friend had been born and one from the year she was celebrating her birthday. We soldered these two pennies to the circular brass base that accompanies our small sized weathervanes. In between the two pennies, our customer asked us to put a wonderful Danish proverb, which reads: THE ROAD TO A FRIEND’S HOUSE IS NEVER LONG. In addition to offering the Passage Horse weather vane as a silhouette, we also offer it as a swell-bodied weathervane, with or without a rider.
