Texas ranch owners Dan and Jolene Urschel made a big impression in the horse racing industry in a short period of time. The Texas ranchers are most famous for the exploits of their horse Pie In The Sky who won the 1979 All American Futurity. Dan and Jolene owned renowned winners Mighty Deck Three and Special Effort as well.  Dan wasn’t known to let a few dollars stand in between him and a winning horse, making some of the most record setting horse purchases of his time. The Urschels were lifetime members of the AQHA.  Their great-granddaughter, Kharlottie Grace, continues their legacy to this day becoming the sixth generation of the Urschel family to be involved in Quarter Horse racing. Dan Urschel passed away September 16th, 2014, survived by his wife Jolene and their children.
