“I can see myself moving anywhere that my mother, father, and my siblings would also move with my husband and I and my children. So wherever that is, we can have a team huddle and all decide collectively where we’d like to go,” she said.

“Because there’s nothing that is more important to me than being able to be in close proximity to my parents and to my siblings,” she continued. “And to be able to have that for our children is such a huge blessing and a gift. A gift that I can’t get anywhere else.”
Schwarzenegger Pratt’s latest book focuses on a “heartwarming tale about the powerful connection between animals and humans and the enduring friendships that can change a child’s life,” according to the book’s description.

“Pretty much all of it is drawn from my own childhood experiences. This was a real horse figure in my life, and I really did have a shared activity with my mom that allowed me to work through fears alongside my mom and also be out in nature with her, which I think is such a big and important theme in children’s lives. Having a shared activity with a parent or a caregiver,” she said.

Schwarzenegger Pratt continued, “I really did come into my connection with Brandy… being scared and nervous to horseback ride. And she was very scared and to be around humans. It was really the ability that we had to work through those fears alongside one another that, you know, allowed us to have this really deep and profound bond that helped me be brave and courageous and experience the unconditional love of an animal and also the healing energy that comes from that bond with an animal. So, it’s really drawn out of my own personal experience.”
