Priscilla Presley wrote: "I remember one day I happened to look out of the window. It was twilight. The sky was aglow in misty blue and radiant pink. There was Elvis walking Rising Sun, his Golden Palomino. I saw them as silhouettes against the darkening sky. Elvis was walking slowly, I could practically hear him breathe. His breath was easy, his body relaxed. At that moment I was convinced that my husband had actually found peace.”https://historyonhorseback.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/circle_g_horn_lake_ms_0031.jpgCircle_G_Horn_Lake_MS_0031The Circle G Ranch was, Lesley believes, the place where Elvis spent his happiest times. Priscilla Presley wrote in her autobiography of this time: "What seemed like a new life had begun. We spent our honeymoon at the Circle G. I look back at those weeks as a remarkable lull in the middle of a storm. Elvis was between pictures. I’ve never seen him so ‘free’, free of the entourage, the press, the Colonel and the incessant demands of his career. It was just the two of us in our ranch house. I loved cooking his breakfast.... After breakfast we’d saddle up our horses and ride them through the hills." https://historyonhorseback.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/scan0018_638203.jpgscan0018_6382032013-10-18T20:16:32+00:00monthlyhttps://historyonhorseback.com/2013/08/07/not-just-for-girls-the-past-and-future-of-the-pony-book/https://historyonhorseback.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/whittam2.jpgwhittam2https://historyonhorseback.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/caney.jpgcaneyhttps://historyonhorseback.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/archetypal.jpgArchetypalhttps://historyonhorseback.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/backcover.jpgBackcover2016-11-28T07:33:37+00:00monthlyhttps://historyonhorseback.com/2013/06/27/by-yon-bonny-brays-donkey-heaven-in-the-borders/https://historyonhorseback.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/asses-041.jpgasses 041Mini-moke...miniature Mediterranean donkey Basil.https://historyonhorseback.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/loresdonkeys-030.jpgLoresdonkeys 030Open wide and say ee-aah.

Whilst the Hyksos have come to be associated with the arrival of the horse in Egypt, this is only partly true; the horse is particularly associated with one dynasty of the Hyksos AFTER they arrived in Egypt. Most, although not all, equid burials in the delta region of Egypt are of donkeys, which played and still play a vital part in many economies, ancient and modern. https://historyonhorseback.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/89989080-e1372331274708.jpg89989080Donkeys were domesticated and in the service of man long before horses. This image from an Egyptian 5th dynasty tomb shows a man seated in an unusual carrying chair placed across the back of two donkeys.
