Horse Weathervane

Long before the invention of the motorized truck and farm tractor, the Percheron draft horse provided the power to build and feed our nation. This noble horse now provides the power, substance, beauty, and style as America’s work and recreation horse for the twenty first century. This horse weathervane is located on the Percheron Horse Association of America building in Fredericktown, Ohio.
