>>>>Name a horse in Norse mythology.

That reminds me of a funny thing.  My farrier seems like the ultimate, good
old boy country redneck - that is, until you talk to him for a while, and he
scares you to death with the depth of his knowledge of equine anatomy.   So,
when he first came to trim Sina right after I got her, we were making small
talk, trying to remember if he'd ever seen an Icelandic in person (certainly
not in our area, but he thought maybe at some expo-type thing in the past).
I was chatting casually with him, and explained that Iceland seems like a
part of Scandinavia to me, since it was settled by Vikings, and he turned to
Sina, patted her and said, "I'll have to call you Sleipnir then.  Where are
your other four legs?"  You could have knocked me over with a feather.  On
the other hand, a relative of mine has a master's in literature, and had
never even heard of the Icelandic Sagas - go figure!
