The only thing you can do is give him lots of love, attention, and carrots until his time is up. It's hard to let a horse go, but you just have to do the best you can to let him know what he means to you and then accept that because you don't own him, you have no control over the situation. Some people can afford to retire a horse and care for a horse that isn't doing something/making money with lessons, some can't/don't want to. Sometimes retiring the horse won't do any good - for example, if he's in chronic pain, then it may well be best for him.
