Explore Our Collection of Horse Weathervanes for Cupolas

---

Horse weathervanes for cupolas have been an American tradition since the 1800s. Weathervanes were a common sight on farmsteads where they provided valuable weather information to farmers. Many farmers would customize their weathervanes to reflect a prized stock, whether it was horses, chickens, pigs or cows. 
During the mid-19th century, horse racing became immensely popular in America, rivaling the popularity of baseball and football today. Lithograph prints of racehorses were a common decoration in many homes, with one of the most popular Currier & Ives prints of all time featuring the famed racehorse Black Hawk. Americans couldn't get enough racehorse merchandise, which led to a huge surge in popularity for horse weathervanes. Their beautiful pedigree lives on today in our stunning collection of horse weathervanes for cupolas!

Horse Weathervanes from Valley Forge Cupolas

There's nothing quite as majestic as a galloping horse. These beautiful steeds are ready to run free over your roofline! Our "Horse on the Run" weathervane captures the wild freedom of Western Mustangs, while our "Race Horse" weathervane is modeled after the famous stride of champion racehorse Black Hawk.

We also offer two horse weathervanes with a gorgeous patina finish. Patina is the blue-green layer that forms on the surface of copper over time, much like rust develops on iron. Unlike rust, however, patina actually preserves the copper, protecting it from the elements. This process occurs naturally but can also be man-made to ensure a uniform color.

Our Smithsonian Horse is a smaller design, perfect for sheds, garages and smaller cupolas. Our 580P Horse weathervane mimics the designs of famed 19th-century weathervane maker A. L. Jewell. Jewell was known for constructing his horses so that the foreleg formed part of the post, creating a more fluid look.

We also have small and large horse weathervanes with a glossy black finish that pair beautifully with any home design or color scheme. Our full collection of weathervanes run the gamut from large weathervanes perfect for barns and stables, to small weathervanes perfect for sheds, tack rooms, and small cupolas.
