SARA CAVANAGH, OWNER AND EDITOR WEST CHESTER, Pa.--Sara Cavanagh competed in equitation, junior hunters and working hunters as a junior, finishing second four times in the Medal and Maclay Finals, to George Morris, Mike Plumb and Wilson Dennehy. 
After graduating from juniors, she showed in Amateur Owner and Green Hunters, finishing second twice in the national Horse of the Year on Smiling Sal and War Count. When it was thought that women would be allowed to compete for the first time in Three-Day Eventing in the 1960 Rome Olympics, Sara was invited to train with the Three-Day team in Colorado for three months along with Plumb, Dennehy, Billy Haggard, and four others. By the time women finally were allowed to compete in the Olympics in Three-Day Evening, Sara was married with children and concentrating on fox hunting, where she served as whipper-in to the Meadow Brook Hounds for 16 years, showing and raising her children. She was remarried in 1975 to her husband H.L. (Sandy) Schwartz, a life-long newsman, and in 1980, after moving to Pennsylvania, as Schwartz' idea, they started The Horse of Delaware Valley, and Sara has served as Editor from the beginning of the publication. Being to busy to ride, Sara began breeding thoroughbreds for the race track. Her homebreds, living at her farm, broken by her son Frank Steall and trained by Jonathan Sheppard, are Allowance winner Avilord, who won six races, and Dancing Together, who won two races and is now in foal to Redeemed, and an about to be 3-year-old , Ler's Go Danzing, who will race next year. When the cost of printing became prohibitive, Sara took the publication digital. She is thrilled with her staff and the great work they do and appreciative of the many subscribers.
