Animal rights advocacy organization says they have located Ryder, the horse which collapsed in Midtown after the work animal was quietly taken out of the city by the carriage industry.
Activists had been searching for the aging workhorse ever since Transit Workers Union Local 100 claimed he was safe and sound at an upstate farm following outrage over his treatment. Now, the Center for a Humane Economy claims to have located Ryder after a tip from a horse rescuer.
According to the Center for a Humane Economy, Ryder is being housed at Clover Hill Farm in Wallkill. While the organization says they are relieved to have located the animal, which has been gaining support and has become a symbol to shutter the carriage industry, they also charged that the equine isn’t exactly in paradise.
