A carriage horse collapsed in the middle of a New York City street in the Manhattan neighborhood called Hell’s Kitchen. The temperature that day had reached 87 degrees, but the pavement was even hotter. Ryder remained on the ground for more than an hour while NYPD hosed him down with cool water…
Finally, the horse was able to get to his feet! Now, New York animal activists are calling for a complete ban on horse-drawn carriages in the city. Witnesses say they saw Ryder in extreme distress and struggling to walk hours before his collapse.
