Corporal Samuel Perkins
Zoey is the farm horse that the farmer, mother, and Albert own before Joey arrives. She treats young Joey with kindness and works to shield him from the harshest parts of the farmer’s mistreatment while also teaching him the ways of farm work. She stays on the farm while Joey goes off to war, but she’s still alive when he returns, and they work alongside each other for many years afterward.

Quotes
He must have known that I would follow old Zoey because he roped me up to her saddle and led us both quietly out of the yard down the path and over the bridge. Once in the road, he mounted Zoey swiftly and we trotted up the hill and into the village. He never spoke a word to either of us. I knew the road well enough, of course, for I had been there often enough with Albert, and indeed I loved going there because there were always other horses to meet and people to see. It was in the village only a short time before that I had met my first motorcar outside the post office and had stiffened with fear as it rattled past, but I had stood steadily, and I remember that Albert had made a big fuss over me after that.
