Very sad news indeed, but as mentioned, it had a very full life.

Hopefully they'll get a new one to replace it with and can be there for many more years to come.

Words from EPE:

Sadness at Graceland Stable as Sun’s Reflection Passes Away
8/20/2009

Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. is sad to share news of the loss of a very well loved member of the Graceland family.

After a full life of roaming the pastures of Graceland for 21 years, Sun’s Reflection, a Palomino American Quarter Horse, died of respiratory distress on August 14th, 2009.

Every effort to save the life of Sun’s Reflection was made by an expert team of veterinarians from the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, but Sun was unable to overcome his respiratory problems associated with age.

Sun came to Graceland in June of 1988 following the loss of Elvis’ horse, Rising Sun. Sun’s Reflection and Rising Sun came from the same blood line and both were purchased from the same farm.

Sun’s presence at Graceland represented Elvis’ love for the Palomino Quarter Horse and he will be missed by the staff of Graceland Stable in addition to the many fans that have come to know him through their visits to Graceland.

[Rising Sun]

This is so sad :'( I always thought it was great to have a horse of the same bloodline as Elvis' horse Rising Sun at Graceland. I hope they will find another Palomino like Sun' Reflection soon :supriced:
Graceland without horses just wouldn't be the same...

Why didn´t Sun´s Reflection just have a child? Then they would still have one of that kind.
