Why limit yourself to the same old rooster on your weather vane? A weather vane adds a distinctive touch to your house, but the rooster and Father Time designs have become far too common. Horse weather vanes are something different. The horse is a naturally elegant animal and a horse weather vane will bring this elegance to your home. Horse weather vanes are available in both iron and steel finished but you may want to look at one made of copper. As copper ages it develops a natural green patina that gives horse weather vanes a wonderfully natural antique look.

Horses have always fascinated man, and the earliest records of man’s reigning at the reins date up to five thousand years back. The Egyptians were said to have used horses to travel and pull chariots. Modern man is obsessed with reins, saddles and stirrups. Nothing quite matches the sight of a horse galloping in its glory. What seems to be a display of strength, agility and gracefulness, as a horse gallops away, is something that a horse does naturally. No wonder horse weather vanes are popular. If you want to know what fascinates mankind, look atop the roofs. You may find no dearth of horse weather vanes.

There is something very reassuring about a weathervane. They are there for our use and enjoyment. Over time, a weathervane has been a valuable tool in planning the day’s activities.

We learn a lot about our weather when we check the wind and the sky conditions. Usually the weathervane has a balanced configuration that allows the guides to rotate according to wind direction and velocity. Each weathervane has a distinguishable pointer. This pointer must have freedom of motion so that it can rotate in a manner enabling it to demonstrate the source direction of the wind current. The accuracy of the weathervane is directly related to the balance and symmetry of the construction. What direction is your wind source today?
