Katherine Schwarzenegger has met everyone’s worst nightmare<\/a> … losing a beloved pet.<\/p>\n The 35-year-old daughter of Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a> took to Instagram<\/a> to share a carousel post featuring a handful of pics with her beloved horse Cinco.<\/p>\n “My sweet Cinco! I\u2019ve always dreaded this day coming. Saying goodbye to an animal is never easy, especially one who has been there for nearly every chapter of your life,” Katherine began.<\/p>\n She went on to explain, “Cinco came into my world when I was 11 years old. He and Brandy were my safe place. I spent every day after school with Cinco and Brandy at the barn. I did my homework in their stalls, traveled to horse shows with them, and embarked on new chapters of life with them.<\/p>\n “Throughout my teenage years I\u2019d find myself going to their stalls whenever I needed to process life: to work through fears, worries, anxiety, joys, triumphs, first loves, first heartbreaks and so much more\u2014finding calm and comfort in their presence,” Katherine added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “Anyone who has had a bond with an animal knows what I\u2019m talking about. Animals, big and small, have the power and ability to see us for who we are, allow us to feel loved unconditionally and bring us a sense of peace we can\u2019t get anywhere else,” the wife of Chris Pratt continued.<\/p>\n Katherine then shared, “Cinco was witness to every version of me and saw me through it all,” before listing off big life milestone like “high school, college, a young woman entering the world, single, dating, engaged, married, pregnant 3 times.”\u00a0<\/p>\n “The barn became my sanctuary, the one place I could always exhale,” she admitted. “It was the place where I instantly could take a deep breath and just be. It\u2019s where I went when my parents told me they were separating. I sat in Cinco\u2019s stall just to be in his calming presence. When the Palisades fires forced us to evacuate from our home in January, I went to Cinco. Nothing else soothed me like being near him.”<\/p>\n Katherine concluded, “I was my truest and most authentic version of myself at the barn and still to this day, being at the barn is where I feel my calmest.”<\/p>\n Don’t miss:<\/strong><\/p>\n Arnold Schwarzenegger playfully dmits grandkids from Chris Pratt are ‘spoilt’<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>[LATEST]<\/p>\n
