Who Is Anna Sewell's Black Beauty?

Black Beauty is a classic novel written by Anna Sewell published in November 24, 1877. The book I read was printed in 1927, so the story is really old-fashioned and original. The story takes place in 19th century England and is narrated by Black Beauty in first person. The story basically explains his life starting from his early childhood to working adulthood. During his life, he was constantly sold to many horse owners and farmers.
    It starts in Victorian, England, when Black Beauty was young and raised by his mother Duchess. His first owner was Farmer Grey, who was a very generous master that made Beauty’s early life very happy. His mother always gave him lectures and lessons about becoming a well-tempered horse, because she believed

she was the best on that farm, so she expects something out of Beauty too. Once he became four years old, he was considered as a grown horse, so he had to be broken in, which means to be ready to ride on. Beauty had to get horseshoes, put on a bridle and a saddle, and become trained many times each week.
Once Beauty was broken in, Farmer Grey sold him to Squire Gordon at Birtwick park.

This was the time when Beauty got her name, because of her dark, dull color. Over there, he met two horses both next to his stall. One horse was named Merrylegs, who was well-tempered and rode the children and women most of his time. The other horse was named Ginger, who was bad-tempered and bit the people most of the time she was visited. No one really rode her. Once Beauty had a conversation with Ginger, it wasn’t her fault that she was bad-tempered, she just had a bad life. Ginger would always be hit by rocks by children, fed poorly, and when her break in came, she was forced to do it by being whipped and hit by multiple men which caused her bad-temper. In Birtwick park, Beauty had much fun with Ginger and Merrylegs, with many events happening.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Gordon, Squire Gordon’s wife, had an illness that was diagnosed by a doctor. They were forced to move to a warmer climate, moving out of England, and sell all of their horses and land. This was when Beauty’s happy life ended, when he was sold to many harsh farmers and owners. When he became a horse-for-hire, he killed a groom that was drunk. Obviously, Beauty was blamed, moving him down to the ranks of horse hierarchy, and ruining his

knees.
Then, Beauty was sold to a cab driver, Jerry Barker. He liked Barker and his family, but the work he had to do was very harsh. Later on, he got bronchitis, nearly killing him. Due to Barker giving up his cab business, he moved to the country, selling Beauty to worse owners in his current condition. These owners work him until he drops. Along the way, he saw Ginger dead for her  great pain and excessive work, which made Beauty very frightened.
Luckily at the last minute, Beauty was saved by a doctor who fixed him up.
After this, he was sold to a kind farmer and his grandson to continue to recover him from the severe damage. Once he was recovered, he was finally sold to a family where he lived happily and peacefully for the rest of his life.
