That's about Pegasus, the mythical winged horse, offspring of Poseidon and Medusa, faithful companion of Bellerophon. His hoofprint made the spring of Hippocrene (sacred to the Muses), which gave gift of song to those who drank of it.
The same Pegasus features on the flag of Komňa (Uherske Hradiste okres, Zlin region).
