Court Update: Stephanie Redlick — Delays and Excuses
On August 21, 2025, Stephanie Redlick once again appeared in the Midland, Ontario court via Zoom on criminal charges — but Ms. Redlick did not appear on camera.
Redlick told the judge that the disclosure documents in her case had been “lost.”
When asked to return in two weeks, Redlick claimed she could not appear again before September 18th because she had “pressing matters.”
The court, accommodating her request, has now scheduled Ms. Redlick’s next criminal court appearance for Thursday, September 18, 2025.
During Redlick’s July 2025 criminal court appearance [video here] she was represented by legal aid – NOT the “high powered” attorney she claims to have on retainer when she threatens to sue individuals and news outlets. During her August 2025 appearance Ms. Stephanie Redlick represented herself.
Despite facing multiple criminal and 13 animal welfare charges -- Redlick continues to resurface under aliases and new fake social media and Kijiji profiles, carrying on her long-standing pattern of harassment, smear campaigns, and online deception.
Fall 2025: Redlick appears to have moved on from her brief “I’m a hauler” phase, during which she attempted to collect pre-payment for horse transport using photos of rigs she had absolutely no connection to.
Stephanie Redlick has also been advertising “cheap hay” with images stolen from U.S. farmers and equipment owners—who have publicly confirmed they do not know her.
On top of that, Redlick has a documented pattern of misrepresenting horses she sells. She routinely advertises injured or unsound horses as healthy, and has even gone so far as to “sell” horses she does not own, using photos lifted from the internet.
In some cases she even claims that delivery is included—an impossibility, given that she has no access to the horses she’s pretending to sell.
Most recently, Redlick has been presenting herself as an “equine therapist,” claiming: “I’m like a doctor. I’m a therapist, but I’m not registered, so you have to pay me directly. OHIP doesn’t cover my charges.”
When potential clients ask where her horses are or where appointments occur, she insists they must first e-transfer payment for ten sessions—after which she will “meet them at Tim Hortons.” As usual, she never appears.
For years, Redlick has operated under countless aliases and dozens of Facebook accounts to target and intimidate anyone who speaks out. We know of at least a dozen phone numbers she uses through a system that is - according to both the RCMP and Ontario Provincial Police - well-known to be used by scammers.
These tactics—impersonation, misrepresentation, and relentless online abuse—are intended to silence people. Instead, they strengthen our resolve to raise awareness and demand accountability from Ontario’s Animal Welfare Services.
We'll let the press coverage about Stephanie Redlick including on CTV NEWS -- and criminal charges against her speak for themselves.
July 24, 2025:
Stephanie Redlick, 28, appeared by Zoom on Thursday accused of fraud totaling more than $26,000, theft over $5,000, making forged documents, as well as false pretenses with intent to defraud using cattle worth more than $5,000.
Provincial police said a fraud investigation began earlier this year after receiving a complaint about “transportation and financial irregularities of livestock being transported from a farm in Tay Township and sold at a Cookstown stockyard sale in September of 2024.”
In June, South Georgian Bay Ontario Provincial Police revealed a warrant for the arrest of Redlick was issued. Redlick, who lives in North York, was arrested by Toronto police. Investigators revealed she was known to police.
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.

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.

There are signs that Canada’s horse slaughter industry is shifting—and not a moment too soon. But while one door may be closing, others remain wide open. Here’s what we know right now:
1. Bouvry’s (Horse) Slaughter Plant in Alberta, Canada Appears to Be Closing
The notorious Bouvry Exports plant in Fort Macleod, Alberta—which has long processed horses and other species for human consumption—appears to have shut down operations.
Locals are reporting that the feedlots are empty. The parking lot, once packed with vehicles, is nearly deserted.
Most of the employees have reportedly been let go.
While there’s been no official announcement, all signs point to a significant and possibly permanent halt to operations.
This facility has been at the center of animal welfare concerns for years, and while we await formal confirmation, this development offers a glimmer of hope.
2. Horses Are Still Being Slaughtered in Canada—Including Horses from the USA
While Alberta might be winding down, a slaughter plant in Quebec is still operating—and horses are still being shipped across the U.S.-Canada border to be slaughtered for human consumption. Yes, really.
Oh, and the horses include but are not limited to wild horses, race horses, pet horses, and rodeo ‘stock’.
Despite growing public outrage and numerous petitions, this brutal practice continues.
Some of the meat is consumed in Canada, but much of it is exported to countries where horse meat is considered a delicacy.
It’s a cruel and unnecessary trade, and it hasn’t stopped.
3. Canada Is Still Shipping Live Horses to Japan for Slaughter
Canada also permits the live export of horses by air to countries like Japan, where they are fattened and slaughtered.
Some of the horses are purpose bred to be slaughtered but others as you can read here are NOT bred specifically for slaughter.
These long-distance journeys subject the animals to immense stress and suffering. The flights are long, the conditions harsh, and the outcome heartbreaking.

Redlick appeared defiant in the virtual Midland courtroom, claiming she was having technical issues. Repeatedly asked by Justice Angela McLeod to turn her video camera on for the court, Redlick said she was working on it and eventually complied about an hour later to address her matters.
Thank you to Corey Waren for the following – his thoughts on today’s court proceedings. We will publish – shortly – a transcript of today’s proceedings – just cleaning up the typos.
Meanwhile after you read Corey’s thoughts please scroll down for an update on Xena, a 2 year old horse relinquished by Redlick to a private home AFTER a foal in her care died and BEFORE Animal Welfare Services seized 16 of Redlick’s horses and pressed charges.
Stephanie Redlick – First Appearance – Criminal Charges
Midland, Ontario Court – via Zoom
July 24, 2025
Stephanie Redlick appeared via Zoom today in Midland Criminal Court for her first appearance in connection with several criminal charges related to livestock theft and forgery.
When initially called upon by the judge, Ms. Redlick expressed concern with appearing by video, claiming: “CTV News is stalking me” and then when the judge insisted that she appear on video her response was, “I’m having technical issues.” The judge instructed her to return to a virtual “breakout room” to resolve the issue.
When called upon a second time later in the morning she was once again returned to a break out room to resolve her issue.
Court resumed in the afternoon, and Ms. Redlick reappeared via video. She seemed cheerful and somewhat “bouncy,” participating from her car while wearing sunglasses.
Redlick stated, “My tech people have gotten my video working”.
When asked by the judge to remove her sunglasses, she claimed she had recently undergone eye surgery and needed them due to it being bright.
Ms. Redlick, represented by a Legal Aid attorney chose to waive the formal reading of the charges against her.
Her court appearance was brief, with no substantive matters addressed. The case was adjourned and is scheduled to return on August 21, 2025.
In my opinion, based on my observation and experience, her demeanour appeared uninterested, disrespectful, and overly casual given the serious nature of the charges. She displayed little awareness or concern about the legal situation she is facing.
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.

Summer Secord writes: Xena (mare / draft cross / said to be Friesian x Percheron / has hernia / covered in cow feces / unhandled, scared, overgrown neglected feet / she is in pain and kicks when you try and touch her where the cow feces are packed onto her). Like the other horses, she is not only underweight but also dehydrated.
To those of you who raised your voices and demanded action—we can’t thank you enough.
Thanks in part to your advocacy, Animal Welfare Services did step in, and again charges against Stephanie Redlick have now been laid – she is also facing multiple criminal charges for fraud. [Details including CTV NEWS coverage here.]
But before the seizure, four other horses were quietly surrendered by Redlick to a compassionate local family.
Tragically, one of those four horses, Seattle Sunrise had to be euthanized—despite every effort, and significant expense, to save him.
Another, Xena, a gentle 2-year-old Percheron cross, urgently needed a specialist dental extraction, that cost over $3,000. [More about Xena’s story here.]
She also requires hernia repair surgery, and is currently undergoing follow up care from the first surgery.
Every dollar helps.

Together, we can keep showing up for horses like Xena.
