Welsh Pony on a Hillside near a Windmill

A hardy pony stands outdoors on a rolling hill next to an iconic timber post mill. Post mills are early types of windmills designed so that the entire wooden body rotates on a central post to face the wind. The surrounding open countryside provides ample breeze to drive large sails while horses graze nearby.

History of Wooden Post Mills

Wooden post mills were developed in Europe during the Middle Ages to grind grain into flour using wind power. Unlike later stone tower mills, the entire wooden house structure of a post mill rests on a single massive oak post, allowing millers to turn the whole mill into incoming breezes.
