National Ranching Heritage Center
This sculpture is located adjacent to the main building of
the National Ranching Heritage Center and features a horse
and rancher. A smaller version of the bronze equestrian was
originally commissioned to be presented annually as the
National Gold Spur Award to a deserving ranching family.
Funded by the Lubbock Cultural Affairs Council Grants
Program and individual contributions, the life-size casting
was dedicated in September 1987.
