This 28-foot-tall steel structure was certified the World's Largest Spur by Guinness World Records, until it was dethroned in 2017. It’s so big, in fact, a semi-truck and trailer can safely drive through it!
The spur was built by retired master farrier Larry Houston, and has the dimensions of a real spur, weighing in at 2,000 pounds. It originally was at the entrance to the Houston’s driveway, but in 2002, the spur was cut into three pieces to be moved to Abilene. It then sat at the entrance of the Wild Bill Hickok Rodeo Arena for a time before coming to reside at its current, and third, home.
