  Svadilfari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Norse mythology, Svadilfari was a magical stallion, owned by a hrimthurs (rime giant) disguised as a human stonemason, who built the walls of Asgard and whose name is uncertain.
The gods began to worry that the stonemason would meet his deadline, and conferred upon the god Loki the responsibility of foiling him, since he was the one who'd talked them into accepting the giant's proposal in the first place.
Svadilfari pursued the mare all night, and the stonemason left his work to pursue his horse, which was enough to put him behind schedule, and thus lose his bargain with the gods.
