Ms. White is equally well known for her tireless efforts in support of animal health and welfare and is currently the proud sponsor of one of the therapy horses at BraveHearts, named “Baby".

BraveHearts Therapeutic Riding & Educational Center has been providing therapeutic horseback riding to children and adults with special needs since 2003. Each week, BraveHearts welcomes more than 100 participants with various diagnoses from as far as 100 miles away.

Children and adults with various needs come to BraveHearts to discover hope, joy and unlimited possibilities through the healing power of the horse.

In 2007, BraveHearts expanded its programs to include therapeutic carriage driving. That same year, BraveHearts also began offering equine activities and therapies to wounded military veterans. BraveHearts’ veterans program is now nationally recognized as the largest by numbers program in the country.
