Sleipnir was Odin’s horse, a son of Loki’s, by the great builder Svaldifari. Sleipnir had eight legs and was the swiftest horse ever known. “Yggdrasil’s ash is of all trees most excellent, and of all ships, Skidbladnir, of the Aesir, Odin, and of horses, Sleipnir, Bifrost of bridges, and of skalds, Bragi, Habrok of hawks, and of dogs, Garm Brimir of swords.” -- The Poetic Eddas, The Lay of Vafthrudnir
