“I started riding when I was 4-years-old and I was a big show jumper. The first movie I ever did was called The Horse Whisperer and I got that role because I was an equestrian,” Kate revealed. “I wanted to go to the Olympics, now keep in mind I was very young and that was probably a ridiculous dream. I always say that is was from my love of horses that I was able to do The Horse Whisperer and that’s where I found my love for acting. I was 13 of 14.”

Kate also talked about her neighborhood bear that took a dip in her pool while she was home – Watch more after the cut!
