Ryder, the carriage horse who collapsed on a New York City street in August, has died

A carriage horse who gained national attention after he collapsed in the middle of a New York City street in August has died, the sanctuary that took him in announced. 

The Sanctuary at Maple Hill Farms said in a joint news release with other nonprofits on Monday that the horse named Ryder was "recently euthanized due to his medical conditions and age." 

The sanctuary said after they took him in, Ryder was taken to a farm outside New York City. His new owner took him to veterinarians and eventually brought him to Cornell Equine Hospital in Elmont, New York, where he "spent many days," according to the sanctuary.
