This is
our original mare and foal weather vane design. Examples of
this weathervane can be found in British Colombia, Lexington Kentucky, as well
as throughout the western United States. In the example shown above, both
horses show optional gold-leafed manes and tails. Palladium, which is a
silver colored leaf, can also be used to mimic grey markings. If you are
interested in a portrait version of this design, please feel free to send us
photos and we will be happy to work up a quote for you.
We
recently had a customer who requested a variation on our mare weathervane
with foal design. Please click on the thumbnail (above left) to
see the results along with information and photos.
The photo
to the right (above) was 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

economically important domesticated animals and are prominent in religion and

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.
