His horrific collapse, after years of abuse, inspired tens of thousands of people from across the globe to stand up to carriage horse industry cruelty,\u201d said Edita Birnkrant, executive director of\u00a0New Yorkers for Clean, Livable, and Safe Streets. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut make no mistake: this tragedy was not caused by an act of God \u2014 Ryder\u2019s death was the result of savage cruelty and greed. To make a profit, the horse carriage industry would have literally worked Ryder to death if it weren\u2019t for viral videos and the people who exposed their endless lies and cover ups. Their mistreatment of Ryder is the reason he is dead two months later.\u201d <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"

for potential animal cruelty charges. <\/p>\n<p>McKeever told cops that Ryder was 13 years old and had just finished a 7 1\/2-hour shift, but a veterinary exam \u201cdetermined that the horse was 28-30 years old rather than the aforementioned 13 years old,\u201d according to an NYPD unusual-occurrence report.<\/p>\n<p>The initial diagnosis was that Ryder \u201cwas malnourished, underweight and suffers from the equine neurological disorder EPM (Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis),\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>The city Health\u00a0Department recently charged McKeever\u2019s brother and fellow carriage owner Colm McKeever for allegedly falsifying the horse\u2019s veterinary records with forged documents that changed Ryder\u2019s age from 26 to 13 years old. <\/p>\n<p>Ryder\u2019s corpse has been transferred to Cornell Equine Hospital for a necropsy to determine the cause of death.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Ryder was sent to retirement at an upstate farm following his collapse and
