Mythology · True or False?

In Norse mythology, Thor travels in a chariot pulled by horses

The answer is False.

Explanation

His chariot is pulled by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr ("teeth-bearer" and "teeth-grinder"). Odin is the one with the amazing mount: Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse. Fun fact: the goats can be slaughtered and eaten at night, and as long as their bones stay unbroken, they are alive again the next morning, ready to pull the chariot.
