Elvis Presley, the King of Rock, always loved animals, but he could never afford to have any as a child, so he made up for it when he became a star. Quite the same as Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, and they both had chimps.

Elvis loved horses and enjoyed riding. He rode his first horse, Rising Sun, for his first 1956 movie Love Me Tender. It has been said that Elvis did ride horses as a child in Tupelo. Many Elvis pets appeared in his movies.

The first horse kept at Graceland was a quarter-horse called Domino which Elvis bought for Priscilla. After that he bought the palomino, Rising Sun, for himself. When Rising Sun passed away in 1986, EPE did a national search and acquired a distant relative of Sun's and named him Sun's Reflection. He, along with Ebony's Double a Tennessee Walking Horse purchased by Priscilla Presley 1975 and continued to live at Graceland. Ebony's Double died in 2005.
