Justice for Ryder - Abused New York City Carriage Horse

The Issue

Justice for Ryder
on Wednesday August 10 the world saw the injustice and cruelty that abused horse Ryder endures by his owner Ian McKeever. 
This horse completely malnourished, sick and struggling to walk has been forced to work until his body gave out and collapsed in Midtown, Manhattan. Ryder struggled the whole day to walk, then when Ryder could not walk anymore and felt to the floor, McKeever whipped him to get up instead of giving him water! When Ryder fully collapsed and NYPD officers were reviving him, McKeever was with his feet up reading a paper without a care that his horse was potentially dying right in front of him. His actions and the physical appearance of Ryder show that horses are just money makers for him, he doesn’t care how much they suffer. This is animal cruelty. This man has no heart and is ruthless and should not own any animals. 

We demand Ian McKeever be brought to justice for Animal Cruelty charges. That ALL his horses be removed as we don’t want the same thing Ryder endured  to happen to the rest of them. 
And that Ryder goes to a LEGITIMATE HORSE RESCUE! As they have him in an upstate “location” without providing any more info and we don’t want to see Ryder vanish over night because he was euthanized or sold off. After all the suffering Ryder has endured he deserves real medical, love and compassion.

Please help us get #JusticeforRyder
