Bronze
Frazier Alumni Pavilion
This life-and-a-quarter sized sculpture represents one of Texas
Tech’s well-known mascots, the Masked Rider. Renowned
sculptor Grant Speed captures the celebratory gallop of the
university’s rider and black American Quarter Horse. The
rider’s cape flows while the rider gives the “Guns Up” sign.
Names of all former Masked Riders and their horses are
etched near the granite base.
