I've read in a few places that he had 18 horses, but most of them i think were horses he bought for his family and friends. He had Mare Ingram at Circle G. And i think Bear, Ebony and Rising Sun at Graceland. I'm not sure if Domino was his or Priscilla's

Elvis’ love for horses is legendary. Some of these horses became very famous because of their famous owner. Bear was a prize-winning Tennessee walking horse. Elvis bought this black horse fully trained, but in order to get him perform he had to be ridden along a fence line.
Rising Sun was a big golden Palomino horse that Elvis bought in 1966. He had worked in horse shows and rodeos and it seemed that he loved to be admired
Mare Ingram was one of the horses Elvis kept at the Circle G Ranch. Elvis bought the ranch in 1967 because Graceland didn’t provide enough space for all the horses he had by that time. He had the total of 18 horses. As it happened with dogs, Elvis gave horses as gifts as well. He gave his father a horse named Colonel Midnight, and to his wife, he gave a horse named Domino. Even all his bodyguards got horses so they could accompany him in his daily rides.
Today there are still horses at Graceland, and the mansion has been open to the public since 1982. Rising Sun was there and was visited by millions until he died in 1987

I think this is Elvis with his horse " Ingram '

Could be. But she resembles Bear a lot. It´s great to know he also had a female horse, not just male horses. I wish I could have been that horse, just so Elvis would ride on my back. (I mean it!!! )
