This Reining Horse weathervane is based on customer provided photos of her horse and rider sliding to a stop during a competition. The details in the saddle, blanket and harness can be seen in the photo above right. Please click on the thumbnails to view larger images.
Another customer who commissioned an Arabian Horse Weathervane in the large size, also ordered a medium (2 foot) Golden Retriever weathervane. At each end of her new barn, she placed a weathervane. When the wind blows one way, the golden retriever chases her Arab, and when the wind switches directions, the Arab chases her golden retriever weathervane (thumbnails above left). This playfulness mimics the relationship of her animals, which are best friends and play together all the time.
Something similar to this could be done to make this a Cutting Horse weathervane. A Calf or Cow weathervane could also be placed on the roof (or a cupola) near the Cutting Horse weathervane. As the wind turns the two sculpture pieces, they would interact up on the roof. It would be fun to look up a different times throughout the day and throughout the year, to watch them dodge and weave and who has the upper hand at that particular moment.
The body of this Reining Horse Weathervane is copper with gold leafing on the mane, tail, socks, blanket, and hands & face of the rider. We can also use gold leaf and palladium leaf to match individual markings on your horse (for example, white socks or a forehead blaze), Please contact us for more information if you are interested in personalizing one of the Reining Horse weathervanes for yourself.
Selecting the size of your weathervane greatly depends on where you plan to display it. For instance, many of our Horse Weathervanes are installed on the top or cupola on the owner's barns. Most barns are quite large, typically 60’ x 100’ as is the cupola on top of it. A four-foot weathervane might seem very large when you are standing right next to it but the important thing is to consider the weathervane in relationship to the structure upon which it will sit. The bigger the structure, the larger you will want the weathervane to be. I’ve enclosed a photo of Ben, one of our weathervane makers, next to a Large (three-foot) Passage Horse and Rider weathervane he had just completed. For perspective, the Arabian horse weathervane (above, top left) is a full foot larger than this weathervane!

We completed three weathervanes for a customer’s 3000 square foot barn in Pennsylvania. The two Sliding Horse weathervanes were made in the medium (2-foot) size and went on slightly smaller cupolas. The Musical Clef weathervane was made in the large (3-foot) size and went on a larger center cupola. Our customer graciously sent us photos after the vanes were installed and gave us permission to put them on our website for others to see and enjoy as well.
