Is it a possibility that the "sinn" in the sentence is there only to express that he liked his horse very much?
That is how I would have used a similar construction in Swedish.

Okay, I found this, but it still doesn't explain the "his" :
 
The horse was called Freyfaxi, Freyr after his godly owner, and Faxi is a common name for horses (meaning eye-catching mane).

It might make more sense to me if I knew what "faxi" translates as.  Anyone?
