Flemish horse, an additional short
footrope rigged at the end of those square sail
yards carrying reefing sails. It enabled seamen to reach the yard arms, particularly when passing the reef
earings. These are short ropes threaded through the
reef cringles of square sail and used to secure them to the yards.
