Brainer
fear of its giving way When the horse stepped upon the bridge it trembled, and seemed hardly strong enough to bear the horse and his rider; but they had no fear of its "giving way", and the horse galloped swiftly onward. What is the meaning of "giving way" in this context? Thank you! :)

To 'give way' in this context means to collapse under the weight of the horse and rider. The 'its' is a genitive form referring to the bridge. As a whole, this phrase is an example of a gerund ('giving way') being used as an indirect object.

it means the bridge might fall from under the horse.
