Gulltopp

Gulltopp / Gulltoppr (old north: golden mane ) is a mythical horse in Norse mythology . It is listed in the catalog of horse names in Grm 30. Snorri names the Asen Heimdall as the owner (Gylf 27). On Gulltoppr the Ase rides daily to the court at the Ash Yggdrasil , as the other Aesir do on their horses [Grm 30].
