Yar Khan began horseback riding in 2014, and was recognized as the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International's 2015 Adult Equestrian of the Year. To demonstrate two common themes from her public speaking career, courage and fear, Yar Khan embarked on a 12-day trip at the Grand Canyon, including four days spent descending the area on horseback and another eight days white water rafting in the Colorado River. As of July 2022, a documentary about Yar Khan, called Her Inescapable Brave Mission, created with filmmaker Sam Pollard and executive producer Brenda Robinson, was in the works. == See also ==
