Salam Caludia,
صار مثل حصان السباق الذي شاخ و لم تعد له أية أهمية،مجرد قدمين ضعيفتين و عينين داهمهما الغواش و يد واحدة تساعده على قضاء نصف حاجاته:
He became like an old racehorse that no longer had a value; having just weak feet and eyes that he hardly sees with and one hand helping him manage half of his needs.
I hope this helps :)
