This listing is for a black metal weathervane with a decorative horse that looks as if it is prancing. It does require some simple assembly with a screwdriver, but nothing major. Once assembled, it can be placed on an existing pole and used to gauge the direction of the wind in and around your yard. The overall dimensions of the vane are 19" from the bottom of the pole topper to the top of the horse s head. the direction indicators measure approximately 13" from end to end.

Weathervanes can be useful, beautiful and symbolic. Vanes help designers make gardens which respond to the weather. For farmers and gardeners, weathervanes were meteorological instruments. This is why they are often called "weather rather than "wind vanes. Links between an enclosed garden and the wide world can be observed in other ways: the effect of a hard frost; a midwinter spring; a drought; the rich downpour after an electric storm. Some plants need a position where their leaves dry quickly and roots can grow into peaty soil, as happens on an alpine ledge. The weather can lead one into a design, and weathervanes help point the way.
