MARCH 1, 2024: MIDLAND TODAY

Monday, February 24, was a day of determination and purpose.

A passionate crowd gathered at Barrie City Hall, braving the cold to stand together for a cause that mattered. Advocates, activists and concerned citizens, bundled up against the weather, came with a shared goal—to push for stronger animal welfare laws.

Side by side, they called for faster response times from Animal Welfare Services (AWS), tougher penalties for repeat offenders and meaningful changes to prevent ongoing neglect and abuse.

On February 4, the OPP alerted AWS about the dire conditions of horses at an Oro-Medonte location. [READ FULL ARTICLE HERE]

HORSE NEGLECT OVERVIEW

Although 16 emaciated, neglected horses belonging to Stephanie Redlick were finally seized by Animal Welfare Services on February 20, 2025, this fight is far from over.

We will not forget what happened here, and we will not allow Animal Welfare Services to escape accountability.

It took far too long for them to respond, despite clear signs of suffering.

The conditions were appalling—no water, no salt, no feed, and no shelter for the majority of the emaciated horses.

These animals should have been seized long before they were.

We are NOT going to be ignored.  Please join us in demanding answers and ensure that AWS does its job to protect animals in the future. Details below — we need your voices now more than ever.

This 2-click "done for you" email sends a clear message to elected officials that Ontarians will not accept a system that allows repeat harm.

It takes less than a minute — and it puts real pressure on decision-makers to close the loophole that allows Redlick to keep accumulating horses - even after 16 were seized, 13 animal welfare charges were laid - and she owes over $116,000 for their care.

ANIMAL WELFARE SERVICES SEIZES (REDLICK’S) HORSES

FEB. 20, 2025:

Following weeks of public complaints and concerns about the welfare of a large number of horses living in poor conditions on a farm in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, and later in Port Perry, they have been seized by the province’s Animal Welfare Services (AWS).

A series of disturbing events became the catalyst for this response when a horse-owning neighbour of Stephanie Redlick’s, Jim Horne, was alerted that a newborn foal was in distress at the farm on Feb. 2. The filly was found unblanketed in an uninsulated barn and despite assurances she would be properly cared for, she later died. Horne noted that other horses in Redlick’s care were in very poor condition and there was a noticeable lack of fresh water and feed.

From that time until Feb. 10, many concerned individuals – including the mayor of Oro-Medonte and the Orillia [Ontario Provincial Police] OPP – contacted AWS to make formal complaints about Redlick and the horses, four of which she eventually agreed to relinquish to a caring family. One of those, a five-year-old Thoroughbred named Seattle Sunrise who had raced at Woodbine, was so starved that even with heroic veterinary care, he had to be euthanized.

STEPHANIE REDLICK’S NEGLECTED HORSES SEIZED BY AWS

STEPHANIE REDLICK’S NEGLECTED HORSES SEIZED BY AWS

by | Feb 20, 2025 | MS STEPHANIE REDLICK, REBEL NEWS PAGE, Stephanie Alessia, Stephanie Martin, Stephanie Redlick

STEPHANIE REDLICK’S NEGLECTED HORSES FINALLY SEIZED

On February 4th, 2025, the Ontario Provincial Police alerted Animal Welfare Services (AWS) about the dire conditions of Stephanie Redlick’s horses.

Reports described a heartbreaking scene—water troughs left empty, buckets filled only with ice, horses without shelter, and emaciated animals forced to pick through their own piled-up manure in search of food.

Despite the urgency of the situation, AWS did not visit the property for the first time until February 12th.  

Yes, really — it took 8 days for officers to check on the horses for the first time.

Even more alarming, the horses were not removed until February 20th—16 days after the initial report—raising serious concerns about AWS’s effectiveness and accountability.

Advocates are now calling for a protest to demand urgent reforms and ensure that no animal endures such unnecessary suffering in the future.

(Scroll down for protest details and how to help advocate for change, no matter where in the world you live.)

Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to everyone who called and wrote to advocate for the horses suffering under Stephanie Redlick’s neglect in Ontario, Canada.

Your efforts made a difference—Animal Welfare Services (AWS) officers returned to the property ahead of schedule.

Yesterday, February 19, 2025, not only did AWS return, but this time veterinarians were brought in for a more thorough inspection.

Today, it has been announced that all 16 remaining horses have been seized by Animal Welfare Services.

This follows Redlick’s earlier surrender of four severely malnourished horses — one of whom was in such dire condition that humane euthanasia was the only option.

We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to Crystal and Jason Mitchell, Summer (Mitchell) Secord, Celia Carletti, Jim Horne, and Darah Lee for their hands-on care of the four emaciated horses Redlick relinquished.

A special thank you to Mr. Corey Warren, who took on the responsibility of caring for the 16 horses that Redlick effectively abandoned after being barred from the property for failing to pay rent.

A special thank you to Monika Rekola for her work in reporting on this situation, and helping to bring awareness and understanding to the broader community.

We are deeply grateful to the board of the Horse Rescue Fund for helping cover some of the costs associated with the care of the four relinquished horses, as well as to everyone who generously donated to support their well-being.

 

JOIN THE PROTEST – AWS TOOK WAY TOO LONG TO ACT

But this fight is far from over.

We will not forget what happened here, and we will not allow Animal Welfare Services to escape accountability.

It took far too long for them to respond, despite clear signs of suffering.

The conditions were appalling—no water, no salt, no feed, and no shelter for the majority of the emaciated horses.

These animals should have been seized long before now.

That’s why we are taking action and asking others to join us in calling and emailing those who can bring about change.  Please see the call to action below.  We need your voices now more than ever.

STEPHANIE REDLICK HORSE FOR SALE

STEPHANIE REDLICK HORSE FOR SALE

by | Feb 18, 2025 | MS STEPHANIE REDLICK, REBEL NEWS PAGE, Stephanie Alessia, Stephanie Martin, Stephanie Redlick

STEPHANIE REDLICK – KING FARMS
TRYING TO SELL HORSES SHE CAN’T DELIVER? 

We have been informed that Stephanie Redlick operates under numerous aliases on Facebook and under “King Farms” on Kijiji.

Despite surrendering four severely emaciated horses and receiving written orders from Ontario’s Animal Welfare Services (AWS) to complete specific tasks by February 20, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., Redlick is still actively listing horses for sale.

It remains unclear whether she has the necessary resources to comply with these orders, including providing essential veterinary care for horses in need.

Following our initial reports, Redlick relocated 16 horses under her so-called care to a property in Port Perry, Ontario. However, she was quickly banned from the premises by the property owners due to non-payment of rent.

JUST ONE OF MANY EXAMPLES  

KNOWN ALIASES OF STEPHANIE REDLICK

Stephanie Redlick hides behind numerous aliases, operating over 30 Facebook accounts and multiple Kijiji profiles under fake names.

Even though Redlick is facing criminal and animal welfare charges she's not stopped creating new profiles to attempt to publicly discredit anyone speaking out against her.

FAQ: How does Stephanie Redlick AKA Stephanie Alessia have so many phone numbers?

That's a GREAT question and one that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in British Columbia answered after it was reported to them that someone bought a horse from Redlick - that she promised to deliver and $10K later the horse was not delivered.

Later it was discovered that Redlick NEVER had the horse she "sold" in her possession - that the pictures she used were ones she simply found on the Internet.

The RCMP recognized where all the phone numbers came from - "A known service to be widely used by 'professional' scam artists". VERY cheap to secure phone numbers.

It is of course free to set up multiple Facebook profiles and multiple profiles on Kijiji, etc.

And Gmail email address are cheap and easy to set up - she has even more email addresses than phone numbers and fake names.

Many people have stayed silent out of fear—because anyone who speaks out about Redlick's behaviour becomes a target.

Stephanie Redlick's default tactic is to aggressively smear and discredit anyone who dares to expose the truth which only makes us more determined to raise awareness and demand accountability from Ontario’s Animal Welfare Services.
