A horse-buying trip to Walls, Mississippi, led the gospel singer and King of Rock N’ Roll® to a 65-foot
tall, bright white cross on a cattle ranch with a “For Sale” sign out front. Elvis bought the ranch,
renamed it the Circle G (for Graceland®), and found a smooth
gaited horse to ride along its fence line: a prize-winning, flat-shod
black Tennessee Walking Horse gelding, named Bear. Elvis® would
saddle Bear up before breakfast and together they would explore
the 163 acre ranch. Fans were accustomed to finding the pair –
the glossy black-coated gelding and his rider—riding along the
estate. Whether galloping along the fieldstone walls of Graceland,
checking on cattle at the Circle G, or quietly waiting as his famous
rider signed autographs for fans, Bear earned a special place as a
partner and friend among all the King’s horses.
The Breyer model of this gorgeous black horse includes
Elvis’ signature and Bear’s name printed on the model’s belly. Traditional size
