requisite to the development of the horse, are produced in tolerable 
abundance. For this reason chiefly, I believe, the Flemish horses have 
long enjoyed a high reputation, second only to our own, and to them we 
owe many useful crosses among our dray and heavy agricultural draught- 
horses. Both their light and heavy breeds are remarkable for high crests, 
small heads, somewhat narrow across the eyes, heavy shoulders, and round, 
powerful, but very drooping quarters. ‘Their hocks are comparatively 
small but clean, and their legs light and free from hair. Their worst 
point lies in the feet, which almost always have flat and thin soles, 
unfitting them for fast work on hard roads. Just prior to the introduction 
of railroads the English system of coaching was introduced into Belgium,
