This running Mare with Foal weather vane was recently commissioned by a customer who had seen our original standing mare and foal weathervane (above left), but wanted a more active design. Hers is an all copper version of the design, in contrast with the standing mare with foal which has gold-leafed accents.
We have included the reverse view of this weather vane to illustrate a distinction in the way weathervanes can be made. This weather vane is an example of a non-mirror image design. More typically, a weather vane is exactly the same on both sides, however, to convey a sense of action, it often works better to have two distinctly different sides. While more dynamic, this style of weathervane requires greater skill to construct.
The photo to the right (above) was graciously sent to us by our customer in Kentucky who installed it on top of her 50 foot diameter riding arena. Her weathervane is our large size (3-ft) version of the running Mare with Foal weather vane.
The horse (Equus caballus, sometimes seen as a subspecies of the Wild Horse, Equus ferus caballus) is a large odd-toed ungulate mammal, one of ten modern species of the genus Equus. Horses first evolved in the Americas, but went extinct there until reintroduced by Europeans. Horses have long been among the most economically important domesticated animals and are prominent in religion and mythology. The horse has played an important role as transportation, as a source of food, fuel, and clothing, and as a weapon,
A mare (from an old Germanic word, possibly derived from Gaulish) is a female horse. The word is also an etymological root of marshal (originally Latin marescalcus 'horse servant', or stable hand). The word can also be used for other female equine animals.
