A 24 inch Horse Accent weathervane is the smaller of the two horse figures we carry, and it’s the one that ends up on garages, sheds and small barns. The horse stands above a directional arrow with the cardinal points marked, so it looks like it belongs on a farm building even if the farm is a suburban backyard. Horse owners buy it, but so do people who just like the shape.

What the horse is made of

The figure, the arrow and the directionals of the 24 inch Horse Accent weathervane are cast in the USA from recycled aluminum. Because it’s aluminum, it will not rust, which is the main thing you want from anything that lives outdoors year-round. Then an all-weather protective coating goes over the casting, and the whole piece carries a five-year warranty.

The 24 inch Horse Accent weathervane in Black

Black is the one finish offered, and it’s the right call for a silhouette piece. The horse is recognizable by outline, so a solid dark color shows the shape against sky or roofing better than anything shiny would. From the street you see a horse, not a reflection.

Size and where it goes

Accent-size weathervanes are meant for smaller structures. If you’re topping a full-size barn or a two-story house, the 30 inch Horse Accent weathervane will read better from the road. For a garden shed, a pool house or a detached garage, this size looks proportional. The arrow turns to face the wind, which is a nice thing to glance at from the kitchen window.

Nothing on a 24 inch Horse Accent weathervane is personalized, so you can order it the moment you decide. The full set of figures is on our weathervane page, and if you’d rather mark the yard at ground level, the Garden Collection plaques are cast the same way and take the same finish.
