Animal rights activists said Monday that Ryder, the carriage horse who infamously collapsed in Midtown this summer, has died.
The sad news was announced by the Unbridled Heroes Project and the sanctuary where he had been living since the infamous collapse took place. This came amid swirling rumors that the former work animal’s health had been rapidly declining, sources close to the situation revealed.
“The Equine Rescue Resource, Inc. (ERR), The Sanctuary at Maple Hill Farms, Inc. (SMH) and the Unbridled Heroes Project (UHP) have joined in this press release to sadly report that Ryder, the carriage horse that gained national attention after collapsing on the street on Aug. 10 of this year was recently humanely euthanized due to his medical condition and age,” part of the statement read.
