Falhófnir

No origin narrative for Falhófnir is preserved in the cited sources. The horse appears only as an entry in lists of mounts in Grímnismál (Poetic Edda) and in Gylfaginning (Prose Edda) as one of the steeds the gods ride when they go to make judgments at Yggdrasil; the tradition does not assign parentage, creation, or a mythic episode to this named horse.

The primary sources provide no detailed physical description beyond the name's etymological glosses. Modern glosses render Falhófnir as "pale-hoofed" or "the one with the fallow hooves," implying light-colored or fallow hooves, but no additional colors, size, markings, or anthropomorphic features are attested.

The sources do not attribute individual supernatural powers to Falhófnir. Its functional role in the extant record is as a mount suitable for a member of the Æsir: it is listed among the horses the gods ride each day to hold court at Yggdrasil. Any inference that it traverses Bifröst or performs other tasks derives from the general description of the gods' daily journey rather than from statements about Falhófnir itself.
