STEPHANIE REDLICK – NEGLECTED HORSES?
YOU BE THE JUDGE
This situation highlights both the cruelty some humans are capable of and the compassion of those who choose to step up, take action and show kindness.
We spoke with Summer Secord and her mother, Crystal Mitchell after Jim Horne reached out to them regarding a lack of care that resulted in the death of a foal and the poor condition of horses in the ‘care’ of Stephanie Redlick – along with a lack of water and feed – he had seen. [Read about Jim’s experience here.]
Stephanie Redlick relinquished 4 horses of 17 she owned and was holding on a leased property in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, Canada to Summer Secord and Crystal Mitchell. We are grateful that Summer, Crystal along with Celia Carletti have carefully documented what they witnessed at the property and the condition each of the horses were in when relinquished.
It’s important to note that 13 horses remain in the ‘care’ of Stephanie Redlick. Please scroll down for how you can help remedy this situation.
AGAIN, YOU BE THE JUDGE
It appears that Stephanie Redlick purchased Seattle Sunrise late November 2024. His auction video may be viewed here.

The video above was taken as a blanket was removed from thoroughbred Seattle Sunrise, one of 4 horses relinquished into the care of Summer Secord and Crystal Mitchell by Stephanie Redlick.
Again, we say, you be the judge. Does this look like a healthy horse who was receiving quality care?
SUMMER SECORD WRITES:
Seattle Sunrise (thoroughbred / gelding / in bad shape / significantly underweight / needs to be in quarantine and food carefully monitored, fed slowly to avoid colic / needs and receiving antibiotics) *I have attached photos of him and the video removing his blanket.
Date of birth, February 15, 2020 – so he will be 5 years old.
All horses relinquished to us were very dehydrated.
———-
It appears Seatle Sunrise’s last race was August 11th, 2024 at Woodbine. He was sold at the CTHS auction lot 27 November 20th 2024. Auction video available here.
We brought him home Thursday Feb 6th, 2025 after being in Stephanie Redlick’s care on a property she leases at 248 6th line North Oro Medonte, Ontario, Canada.
When he was relinquished to us his poor body condition was hidden under a ripped blanket.
He is now on 10 days of antibiotics, 30 tablets daily.
He needs to be completely quarantined, and we were told by our vet that we need to prepare ourselves because he might not recover from this.

CANADA SLAUGHTERS HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
It may be hard for some to believe that tens of thousands of horses, are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption.
Some of the meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is shipped to the European Union and other markets, including China and Japan.
This barbaric practice is currently banned in the United States, so horses from the United States are shipped to Canada and to Mexico to be slaughtered.
In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan, and South Korea to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air, is far from humane.
