Ryder the carriage horse that collapsed this summer in Manhattan was euthanized this weekend.
NEW YORK CITY --Videos of Ryder the horse spread across the internet after the animal fell on its side back on August 10 in Hell's Kitchen."Ryder will always be a symbol of the carriage industry's cruelty and dishonesty. 71% of New Yorkers agree that my bill, Intro 573, should be passed. His death must not be for nothing. We can still save the other carriage horses. This barbaric animal abuse needs to stop," council member Robert Holden said.
"We are very saddened to learn of Ryder's passing. We know that he received the best of care with his new owner and veterinary team at Cornell. We're sorry that at the end of Ryder's long life, he did not get to enjoy more of his retirement," Ryder's carriage driver Christina Hansen said. While at Cornell, Ryder was diagnosed with a variety of serious medical conditions that ultimately required him to be humanely euthanized.
