Blóðughófi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to Þulur, Blóðughófi (Old Norse: [ˈbloːðoɣˌhoːve], "Bloody Hoof", sometimes Anglicized Blodughofi) is the horse of Freyr.
In Skírnismál, Freyr gives Skírnir a horse able to run through fire to ride on to Jötunheimr to woo Gerðr. The horse isn't named in the poem but it might conceivably be Blóðughófi.
