Polo Player on Horse Weathervane
One of our most popular horse weathervane designs, this Polo Player weather vane design can be found as far away as Perth, Australia and Bogota, Colombia, as well as in many locations across the United States. Optional gold leaf works very well with this weathervane, helping to set off many of the intricate details such as the tail wrappings, saddle blanket, leg wraps, and reins. If you click on the thumbnail, (above right), and look at the saddle blanket, you will see this particular customer had us put his initials on the blanket itself.
One customer who is himself a polo player, also ordered one of our jumping horse weathervanes with a female rider (above left) for his second cupola as his wife is also an accomplished equestrian. That way both their passions are represented on their new barn.
The term pony is purely traditional and the mount is actually a full-sized horse. A good pony should have docility, speed, endurance, and intelligence. It is said that the pony is 60 to 75 percent of the player's skill. Thoroughbreds were originally the only breeds used, but in the contemporary sport mixed breeds are common. Many of the best polo ponies are bred in Argentina and United States. Polo training begins at age four and lasts from about six months to two years. Ponies reach their peak at around age 10; but without any accidents, polo ponies may have the ability to play until they are 18 to 20 years of age.
