The Central Park carriage horse that collapsed on a street in Manhattan has been relocated to a farm in upstate New York to retire, after it has been revealed that it was often flogged, malnourished and double its reported age. Ryder appeared to have abrasions to his legs, a cut on his neck and bruises on his knees following his collapse at around 5pm on August 10 at the intersection of Ninth Avenue and West 45th Street in Hell's Kitchen.He had tripped and stumbled on his way back to the 39 Street stables, and did not get back up. Videos posted online show the rider, Ian McKeever, yelling 'Get up! Get up! Get up! C'mon, get up' to the animal, whose knees were buckling.
