“ Dagr's brightest horse, as she is a mare connected to the sun and sunshine. For the purpose of bringing about an eclipse for Bakunawa, her counterpart Hrimfaxi daunts the children of Fenrir. ”
“ A new draft horse of that size fringed loudly at midnight. Similar to their sunny day counterpart, Skinfaxi is a mare, and Nott's pet and he is a stallion. ”

Day-and-night Wild Horses (Equus dienox), also known as Skinfaxi and Hrimfaxi, are mythical horse species that were introduced in the Earth Responsibly universe. They are wild species that are descended from Terran horses from our world. In Norse mythology, some of these individuals who share the same name are the horses of Dagr (day) and Nótt (night).
Etymology
The names Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi are bahuvrihi compounds, meaning "shining mane" and "rime mane" (or "frost mane"), respectively.
Physical Appearance
Large horses that represent dawn and dusk originated in Asgard and Jotunheim, respectively. Both of them have long, beak-lipped snouts; the Skinfaxi-type is less curly and colorful and has longer manes and tails than the male. The sweat glands on Hrimfaxi-type animals release white or snowy particles that feel like rime, despite having long, smooth manes and tails. Both skins are different; the Skinfaxi-type has pure white legs, manes, belly, and even a tail, but is different from the female one. The Hrimfaxi-type has all body parts black due to being countershading.
Abilities
Hrimfaxi was represented by midnight dewdrops of condensation and frost on the leaves. If a horse crosses with another, it prefers daylight to dusk and hides in rocky areas.

Sightings of this horse have also been reported in Denmark up until the saying from the scientist rather than a duke.

Distribution and Habitat
Steppes and wide grasslands are home to wild horses. Due to its widespread distribution, the domesticated horse no longer has a specific habitat. Both are Jotunheim horses imported by frost giants to Asgardians.

Tamed
Equids, unlike other animals and beings, do not require feeding. It's easy to tame because all you have to do is hop on its back. While it may buck you off a couple of times at first, if you stay persistent, you'll have the equid under control in no time. If you're lucky, you'll be able to tame it all at once.
