Race Horse Weathervane
The Race Horse Weathervane celebrates the speed, power, grace, and competitive spirit of the racing horse. Few animals combine athletic strength and elegance quite like a horse running at full stride.
Inspired by the excitement of the racetrack, this handcrafted copper weathervane captures the horse in motion. Its extended body, powerful legs, flowing mane and tail, and forward-reaching posture create a strong sense of speed and energy.
Handcrafted Copper Weathervane
We individually hand sculpt every Race Horse Weathervane in copper. We carefully shape the horse’s muscular body, head, legs, mane, tail, and distinctive contours to create a fully three-dimensional swell-body figure.
The sculpted form allows light and shadow to move across the horse’s body, emphasizing its strength and movement. As a result, the figure remains visually striking whether viewed from the ground or silhouetted against the sky.
Each weathervane begins as a custom commission, allowing us to create a distinctive work of functional architectural art. Display the Race Horse Weathervane on a home, barn, stable, cupola, equestrian building, or other architectural setting.
Standard finishes include faux bronze or verdigris patina. Genuine 23-karat gold leaf is available for an additional charge.
Standard assemblies include two spun copper balls, solid brass directional markers, brass retaining rings, and a stainless-steel mast.
Choosing the Right Size
The proper size depends on the height, roofline, viewing distance, and scale of the building. Therefore, visit our Weathervane Sizing Guide for helpful information when choosing the right proportions for your setting.
The Spirit of the Race Horse
The race horse has long represented speed, determination, endurance, and the pursuit of victory. Its combination of athletic power and natural elegance has also made it one of the most admired figures in sporting and equestrian art.
The Race Horse Weathervane is an exceptional choice for horse owners, racing enthusiasts, equestrian properties, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of a horse in motion. Its powerful silhouette and hand-sculpted copper construction bring movement, character, and timeless equestrian style to the surrounding landscape.
