Flemish horse

The carriage drove off with the fugitives at the full speed of a pair of spirited Flemish horses. Rosa followed them with her eyes until they turned the corner of the street, upon which, closing the door after her, she went back and threw the key into a cell.

In the early 19th century, along the banks of the River Clyde in Lanarkshire, Scotland, farmers bred the Great Flemish horse, the forerunner of the Clydesdale.
