Because he was older and weaker than he used to be, so he was of less use to the pigs and they didn't want to give him his social security when he retired. Also they wanted booze and got a few good dollars for him. Boxer had become a worn, old tool to be pawned to the pigs. Seriously.

Boxer was sent to the glue factory. (They killed him.)
That, unless Jones was to be overthrown, that when boxer was old, he would be sent to the knackers and be killed for dog food, while his hoves would be boiled into glue. Ironicaly, when after the revolution boxer collapses and is on his last breath, the Pigs (ruling class) sell him to the knackers and buy a case of whiskey
If the end it was the pigs because they sent him to i think if i can recall correctly the "knackers" where they kill horse and stuff for meat.... that's why Benjamin was running toward the car because he knew what the words on the side of the car(knackers company) meant.
Napoleon sends Boxer to the slaughter house instead of the hospital because he doesn't want to spend money on something he doesn't think is needed, like treating Boxer. He figures that Boxer will never fully recover so he is useless to the farm, so he sends him away to the slaughter house to be killed. Hope this helped :)
Boxer dies in Chapter Nine when the pigs sell him to a "'Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer and Glue Boiler,... Dealer in Hides and Bone-Meal." He is injured in his attempt to defend the windmill. However, Squealer weaves a brilliant and moving tail of how no expense was spared by Napoleon on Boxer's medical treatment, and that Boxer's last words praised Animal Farm in particular and Napoleon especially. This is a brilliant example of the cold and cruel exploitation of the loyal working classes and propaganda.
The male horse's name is Boxer who was later sent to the slaughter house in chapter 9 and the female horse's name is Clover, who lives on. Three other horses are mentioned in chapter 10, but are said to be unintelligent and their names aren't mentioned.
That was Ginger speaking to Black Beauty in chapter 40 of the book. She said. ' I wish I may drop dead at my work, and not be sent off to the knackers.'
Squealerr told the other animal that Boxer was sent away and was still okay, so the other animals were all relieved and worked even he=arder in Boxer's honor.

Boxer was injured because he worked too hard. After that, it was arranged that he would be sent to a veterinarian/animal hospital facility. However, Squealer, being as smart as he is, sent him off to the glue factory. He obviously died there.He was sent off to the glue factory, courtesy of the pigs, who found him unprofitable since he could not work with a broken leg.After helping with the harvest, boxer dies of fatigue. He gets sold to be made into glue.
Boxer represents the "proletariat" in society. Basically, Boxer works very hard, and he's very loyal to the leader without realizing that the leader is deceptive and will take full advantage of Boxer's great efforts to always give and sacrifice more. or basically, the working class of any country
Boxer epitomizes all of the best qualities of the exploited working classes: dedication, loyalty, and a huge capacity for labor. Exploited by the pigs as much or more than he had been by Mr. Jones, Boxer represents all of the invisible labor that undergirds the political drama being carried out by the elites. Boxer's pitiful death at a glue factory dramatically illustrates the extent of the pigs' betrayal. It may also, however, speak to the specific significance of Boxer himself: before being carted off, he serves as the force that holds Animal Farm together. Boxer fights bravely in the Battle of the Cowshed, and the Battle of the Windmill, but is upset when he thinks he has killed a stable lad when, in fact, he had only stunned him. When Boxer defends Snowball's reputation from Squealer's revisionism, the pigs designate the workhorse as a target for the Great Purge, but he easily out muscles the dog executioners, sparing them at Napoleon's request. His death shows how far the pigs are willing to go. When he collapses from overwork, the pigs say they have sent him to a veterinarian, when they sent him to the knacker's yard to be slaughtered, in exchange for money to buy a case of whiskey for the pigs. A strong and loyal draft horse, Boxer played a huge part in keeping the Farm together prior to his death, and was the only close friend of Benjamin, the cynical donkey.
