Sandy Rabinowitz is an amateur equestrian. She has owned horses all of her life beginning with a pony she won in 1962. She has bred, trained, and shown horses in various disciplines: competitive trail riding and driving, combined driving, dressage, and combined training. She has trained Welch ponies, Anglo-Arabs, Thoroughbreds, an Anglo Trekehner cross, Morgans, and grade horses. She discovered and fell in love with the American Saddlebred Sport Horse in the early 1990s. She owned and showed Desdamona’s Wild Chance–nicknamed Sequoia–in dressage, jumper classes, and combined training. Her current horse is named Mojo. She can be seen riding and driving him in her cart throughout her neighborhood in rural Connecticut.
