Folkvír was the elven horse that carried Eragon into Ellesméra and afterward to the Stone of Broken Eggs. Elven horses were more intelligent than regular horses, for one only had to speak to them to give instructions. They were skilled in choosing the safest and quickest path, much like the Feldûnost used by the dwarves. The elves did not treat their horses like animals: they treated them like a fellow friend and never unkindly.
