Oops. Time to grab a new theme.
Posting these between draft replies, because I Just Think He's Neat.
So, headcanon time to go with these screenshots! Since my Sleipnir is nothing more than an egi through and through, I've decided that he, just like emotions and basic human functions, mimics Barnabas's fighting and magic capabilities from when Barnabas isn't Primed.
... Yeah. In short, he's basically just the Mimic Tear from Elden Ring, just without the looking like a shade version of Barnabas part.
Unless you want him to look like a shade version of Barnabas. He can do that, too. (Though he'd really rather not...)

Not me bringing my Sleipnir back like a fool.
I know, I know, I finally crawl back from the dead on this blog just to show my crimes. I just think that if my Sleip can change forms, then......
Hello yes I am alive on this blog, I swear alskdfj;fl
On the subject of which came first, the chicken or the egg -- or in this case, the horse or the human:
My Sleipnir has always existed as long as Odin has existed. He's a part of Odin -- or rather, is one with the Eikonic entity, with no actual autonomy once they are primed. They share one consciousness, which is Barnabas's, of course.
Sleipnir Harbard, the humanoid entity that interacts separately out in the world when they aren't primed, came into existence later, when Barnabas used Odin's power to create a being that really is just a being made up of that very aether. Unlike his identity as Odin's mount, he does have some degree of free thought and functionality, though his consciousness is still connected to Barnabas's. Their connection allows Harbard to know his master's thoughts and feelings without Barnabas needing to express them, and as such, he is able to speak for and/or enact Barnabas's will seemingly unprompted.
Harbard can change his humanoid form's appearance at will; all it requires is for the aether comprising Sleipnir's tangible body to dissipate and reform with a different form or appearance, if he so chooses it -- although most often his appearance will be derived according to Barnabas's specifications, whether conscious or unconscious on the Dominant's part.
In short, the answer to the question is: yes.
Headcanon time!
The reason why my Harbard's demeanor is described as being "unchangingly icy" enough to earn him his nickname, is in part because while he can feel Barnabas's emotions, he doesn't actually feel emotions of his own. He himself is incapable of it, or at least incapable of actually identifying/understanding any emotions he may feel of his own.
The "emotions" that he does seem to express are more akin to mimicry, much like most aspects of his corporeal existence.
Olivier is quick to try and jump on the man's back. "Run like the wind, my noble steed!"
Whose unattended hellspawn is this?!
He's going to arch his back in an attempt to keep the boy from latching on, all while looking both perplexed and vexed as he wriggles about in an attempt to evade capture.
"Have you no manners, you rude little -- ?!"
