Loki, in the form of a mare, kidnapped the giant's stallion, Svaðilfari, who was helping his owner with the work, and conceived Sleipnir with him. According to legend, Loki had to prevent the timely completion of Asgard's Walls, because an unnamed Hrimthurse, the builder of that wall around Asgard, coveted the goddess Freya as his wife, as well as the moon and the sun, for the completion of the construction work.

Sleipnir is “the shamanic horse par excellence,” just as Odin is the shamanic god par excellence. The eight-legged horse as a means of transportation used by shamans in their ecstatic travels throughout the cosmos is a motif that can be found in a staggering number of indigenous traditions from all over the world. Odin rides Sleipnir on his frequent journeys throughout the Nine Worlds, which are held in the branches and roots of the world-tree Yggdrasil. Sleipnir is one of Odin’s many shamanic helping spirits, ranks that also include the valkyries and Hugin and Munin, and he can probably be classified as a fylgja. Sleipnir (pronounced “SLAYP-nir” Old Norse Sleipnir, “The Sliding One”) is the eight-legged horse of the god Odin.
