 Sandcastle V.I. - Auto Racing Classics - Dan Gurney: All American Racer / Part 3
In 1965, Dan and Carroll Shelby got together to form All American Racers -- a predominantly American team to challenge the best of Europe in the Grand Prix circuit and also to take on the challenge of the Indianapolis 500.
Although on an overall basis the Eagle Grand Prix program was not successful, Dan Gurney can justifiably be proud of what he was able to accomplish against the heavily financed factory teams in Europe.
His victory in the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix still stands as a remarkable achievement considering the small size and limited resources of the All American Racers team at the the time.

 History of the German Riding Pony
In 1965 German pony breeding associations saw the need to develop a breed of large pony that would be suitable for national and international competition for children.
Some German breeders began to import British pony breeds, primarily Welsh, which were bred to one another and also selectively crossed with local horses, infusing Arabian, Anglo-Arabian, thoroughbred and some warmblood blood, and by 1975 a German riding pony type developed.
However, anyone, child or adult may compete with any pony of any size in open dressage shows through the Grand Prix level and also compete in showjumping and eventing classes through the highest levels, where the height of the animal is not a factor, only talent and determination.
