During the
Battle of the Cowshed,becomes whatcalls "the most terrifying spectacle of all" when he
rears up on his hind legs and kicks a stable boy in the head and kills him, causing the men who
saw the attack to run off in a panic.
For his bravery
Boxer is rewarded the "Animal Hero, First Class " medal. However, Boxer is not
entirely happy with himself. Upon killing the boy, he says he had forgotten that he was wearing
iron shoes.tries to tell him he has done a good thing, but Boxer is too sorrowful to listen. He
says, "I have no wish to take life, not even human life." It seems that in the
excitement of the battle, he had forgotten his own strength.
