Horse Weathervanes

Weathervanes or Weather Vanes are as old as our fascination with wind and were one of the first meteorological instruments. Weathervanes work because of their pivoted construction: the ornament has a socket that attaches to a spindle. In order for it to catch the wind properly, the back section of the ornament should have a larger area than the front section, but the front section must weight the same as the back.

The front section of horse weathervane points into the wind, indicating from which direction the wind is blowing. All our horse weathervanes are fully functional and precisely balanced
