Boxer is a cart-horse on the farm that is well known for his large, strong frame in which he uses to get a lot of the labor on the farm accomplished. His abilities show during the Battle of Cowshed and when he works in the fields, but especially on the windmill, when he carries a lot of the stones by himself. However, he has a slight dumb appearance due to a white stripe down his nose. To prove these descriptions in Animal Farm, “Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses put together.” is on page one, “A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance…” on page one, and “…Boxer, rearing up on his hind legs and striking out with his great iron-shod hoofs like a stallion.”
