Throwback Thursday – Elvis
Feeling a little nostalgic for the little old red horse lately. Elvis is also probably the most photographed horse I’ve ever owned. A few months after I got him, my beloved childhood horsie best friend colicked and was put down. I took that as a lesson that there was no such thing as too many pictures, because I only have a small handful of Doodles.
Anyway, here are some of my favorites from all facets of Elvis. Keep in mind I was not the best helmet wearer during the seven years I owned him. You can choose to comment on that if you like, but know I wear my helmet religiously now 🙂
Lots of pictures I know, but I do love and miss my grumpy old man horse.

Ha, we’re on the same wavelength today. Jinx! He has a lethally adorable face.
He is so cute!! Also, your saddle pads are so fun in almost all of these.
Elvis was definitely the era of my crazy saddle pads. My mom made me some funky ones, and a barn mate also made cute ones. Now I skew WAY more huntery, but I still have all the fun Elvis embroidered pads since they are special to me 🙂
I couldn’t agree more that there is no such thing as too many pictures, and often that mentality extends to my blog as well… opps.
Elvis was super cute!!
You have some really great pictures of the two of you. I love the winter schooling one!
Aw I miss Elvis! Does Meredith still have him? I remember when a lot of those pics were taken, and I’m even in one of ’em! ( : (You can see my purple helmet behind you and Elvis jumping, haha. Probably on Missy!)
Meredith sold him to a lady in Chapel Hill who owned him for about 3 years. She wanted to jump more, and decided to retire him from that kind of work so he went back to Meredith. I know they’ve done some maintenance on him and he does beginner lessons and trail rides now as far as I know.
Eeeppp I love all of the pads!
He has the cutest jump! I’ve had two chestnut geldings (both were appendix too), they’re the best!
Too cute! But then, I’m partial to chestnut geldings. 😉
So cute!
What a cutie! Reminds me of my 1st horse, even though they look nothing alike. <3 <3
What a handsome fella! He looks so great in that blingy western halter!
He is adorable!
Those knees!
Lord knows I am also partial to chestnut geldings, but what an adorable jump!
Stumbled across your blog and was reading casually till I saw a pic of Elvis! Followed your Elvis link and realized sure enough it’s him! I know him and board at the same barn; he is doing wonderfully and still very happy and healthy!
