Elvis Presley

Built on the Southeast corner of Graceland by its unique owners in 1939, the Graceland Stable at present houses four horses. After Elvis bought the 13-acre estate in 1957, he frequently rode his horses around the property and even up to the front gate to sign autographs for fans. Elvis started to focus more on ride and horses in December 1966, when he purchased a horse named Domino for Priscilla, along with a range of riding clothes and equipment for the Presley family’s equestrian activities.

The Elvis Presley Stable finally became known as the “House of the Rising Sun” in honor of Elvis’ favorite horse. Elvis went to great lengths to personally classify everything in the stable. His handwriting can be seen today on the wall where he required the tack and harnesses of each horse.
