Gullfaxi

thumb|right|An artist's impression of Gullfaxi Gullfaxi (Old Norse: ) is a horse in Norse mythology. Its name means "golden mane".

It was originally owned by Hrungnir, and was later given to Magni by Thor as a reward for lifting off the leg of Hrungnir, which lay over the unconscious Thor and strangled him: 'And I will give thee,' he said, 'the horse Gold-Mane, which Hrungnir possessed.' Then Odin spake and said that Thor did wrong to give the good horse to the son of a giantess, and not to his father. —Skáldskaparmál (17)
