What does the flag in "Animal Farm" represent, relate to, or compare to historically?

Question

The flag is green representing the green fields of England. It consists of a horse hoof and horn signifying the Republic of Animals which would arise when the human race was overthrown. I'm having a difficult time finding a match to history, so any truthful help would be helpful. However, I will not look at answers not provided with a source.

Answer 1

The rise and fall of the Soviet Union.

Answer 2

It is a parody of the Hammer and Sickle of the Soviet Union - so the hoof is the draft animals and horn is the pastoral animals (perhaps)

The Hammer & Sickle represents the alliance of worker and peasants.

Answer 3

The flag is based on the hammer and sickle and the red flag of Russia.  Animalism is an allegorical mirror if the Soviet Union and the ideals of Communism.

Answer 4

Animal farm resembles The Soviet Union so the Animal flag is supose to be a playoff of the soviet union flag. The horse hoof and the horn is supose to be the hammer and sickle.

here's a picture to compare.

"Animal Farm, known at the beginning and the end of the novel as the Manor Farm, symbolizes Russia and the Soviet Union under Communist Party rule. But more generally, Animal Farm stands for any human society, be it capitalist, socialist, fascist, or communist. It possesses the internal structure of a nation, with a government (the pigs), a police force or army (the dogs), a working class (the other animals), and state holidays and rituals. Its location amid a number of hostile neighboring farms supports its symbolism as a political entity with diplomatic concerns."
