Flag Description: The flag consists of a vertical yellow field. In the upper half, the town's coat of arms is placed. The coat of arms features a green shield with a rounded base containing a golden (yellow) rearing horse facing left from the viewer's perspective (heraldic dexter) with a red saddle cloth. In the upper right section of the shield from the viewer's perspective (heraldic sinister), two golden symbols are arranged vertically: the stud farm's brand mark above the letter 'B'.
