STEPHANIE REDLICK – NEGLECTED HORSES? 

YOU BE THE JUDGE  

FIRST PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 9th, 2025 – UPDATED JULY 2025: 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 20 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 16 horses remain in the ‘care’ of Stephanie Redlick.  Please scroll down for how you can help remedy this situation.

UPDATE JULY 2025:  The remaining 16 horses in the so called care of Redlick have been seized by AWS and charges laid.  

Additionally Stephanie Redlick is now facing criminal charges in unrelated theft and fraud cases.  However she is still  pretending to be a rescue under the name of Stephanie Martin and Above the Stars Equine Rescue.

AGAIN, YOU BE THE JUDGE  

These pictures are of one of four horses relinquished to Summer Secord and Crystal Mitchell by Stephanie Redlick. Those are feces caked on her sides and belly. Please note the overgrown hooves and hernia.

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.

Approximately 18 months old.

Again, we ask does this look like a horse who has been well cared for?  Keep in mind there are still 16 horses in the ‘care’ of Stephanie Redlick.  

UPDATE:  All 16 have been seized by Animal Welfare Services.  

SPEAK UP - IT TAKES LESS THAN A MINUTE

PLEASE TAKE 30 SECONDS...

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 Redlick owes the provincial government over $116,000 for their care.

UNDERCOVER VIDEO OF STEPHANIE REDLICK’S HORSES

UNDERCOVER VIDEO OF STEPHANIE REDLICK’S HORSES

by | Feb 9, 2025 | horse abuse, horse neglect, Stephanie Redlick

ARE THESE HORSES BEING NEGLECTED?

Do the horses in the following video (and pictures) look like healthy horses who are receiving quality care?

Even the blankets on the horses can’t hide how thin they are or the sores.

Thank you to Summer Secord, Crystal Mitchell and Celia Carletti for taking this undercover footage.

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.]

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.

IS THIS NOT NEGLECT? 

Again, we say, you be the judge.  Does this look like a healthy horse who is receiving quality care?  Please note the water buckets are blocks of ice, the “bedding” is a foot or more of manure, this poor mare is skin and bones and has sores.  AND yes, she along with 12 others remains in the “care” of Stephanie Redlick who was not willing to relinquish her.  (Stephanie reportedly stated she was going to get $13,000 for her.)

NEW YORK TRANSPORT BAN BROKEN

NEW YORK TRANSPORT BAN BROKEN

by | Jan 25, 2025 | Horse Slaughter, Kill buyer, New York

ANIMALS’ ANGELS USA 

On December 13, 2023, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed bills A5109/S2163B into law, banning the slaughter of horses throughout the state of New York and making it illegal for any entity to transport horses in or through the state of New York if the horses are intended to be slaughtered for human or animal consumption.

The law went into effect in April of 2024 and we have to say that we wondered how officials were going to monitor the purpose of horses being exported through New York borders with Canada.

Well it appears that Government officials have not picked up on the continuation of horse exports for slaughter via the state of New York but thankfully Animals’ Angels USA has.

Animals’ Angels USA has DOCUMENTED proof that between April and September 2024, Pennsylvania kill buyer Bruce Rotz shipped over 200 horses to slaughter in Canada, using the Champlain border crossing in New York.

Animals’ Angels USA have provided this evidence to the NY Attorney General and the NY Commissioner of AG, asking them to launch an official investigation into the matter.

Rotz’s business could face a penalty of $2,500 for each horse he transported to slaughter, which means he could be facing fines totaling $500,000 or more for these violations.

FROM THE ANIMALS’ ANGELS USA WEBSITE…

As one of the largest shippers on the East Coast, Rotz routinely acquires horses at auctions in Pennsylvania, New York, and Tennessee before callously shipping the animals to their deaths at the Viande Richelieu horse slaughter plant in Quebec, Canada.

Over the years, Rotz has committed a long list of offenses against innocent horses.

A small selection of his evil deeds include:

Transporting a group of horses to slaughter in conditions that resulted in thirty of the horses being burned alive.

Overloading a trailer of horses purchased at auction, resulting in the death of ten horses after the vehicle crashed.

Shipping blind and injured horses to slaughter.

Locking four distressed, sick, emaciated pigs in a barn for days without any access to food or water, while withholding pain medicine.

Rotz pled guilty to aggravated animal cruelty and incurred a $100 fine and 12-months of probation with the stipulation that he refrain from neglecting or abusing any animal in his care.

YOU CAN HELP

You can add your voice to those calling for Rotz to be held to account for his flagrant violations of the new anti-slaughter law by contacting Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, Commissioner Ball (NY Department of Agriculture & Markets and Kathy Hochul, the Governor of the State of New York.

PLEASE take a few minutes right now to call, email, or write those who can hold Bruce Rotz accountable.

Tell government officials how passionately you feel about this law and its enforcement, and make sure to ask them to investigate Bruce Rotz and hold him accountable.

PLEASE HELP RAISE AWARENESS

Please also join us in sharing this information and asking others to reach out too.

It is especially important to reach out to residents of New York State AND to ask them to join you in taking action.

YOUR MESSAGE TO GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS CAN BE AS SIMPLE AS…

Please investigate horse kill buyer Bruce Rotz and hold him accountable for transporting horses through New York State and into Quebec, Canada for the purpose of slaughter.

WE ARE CURRENTLY RAISING FUNDS IN SUPPORT OF...

The Bouvry slaughter plant in Alberta is currently closed, though whether that closure is temporary or permanent remains unclear. The plant in Quebec continues to operate.

You might be surprised that in many parts of Canada, independent butchers report receiving requests to slaughter horses alongside other livestock. To some, money is money — and an animal is simply meat so slaughter continues to thrive across Canada.

Ban Horse Slaughter continues to intervene directly — purchasing horses from kill buyers and from pens operated by First Nations Bands before they are shipped for slaughter. With the help of a foster network, we place horses into safe, permanent homes.

MARCH 2026: We are currently raising funds to purchase and support a small group of draft horses from a situation where a kill buyer has offered top dollar.

The costs extend well beyond purchase — transport, feed, veterinary care, and ongoing support.

Ban Horse Slaughter is 100% volunteer-run.

0% goes to salaries.

BOUVRY FINED

BOUVRY FINED

by | Jan 6, 2025 | Horse Slaughter, Overview, SAVE KILL PEN FIRST NATIONS HORSES

JANUARY 6, 2025 BOUVRY FINED 

A “guilty plea of sorts” today for Bouvry.

Instead of going through with scheduled court dates, Bouvry will pay…

$17,000.00 in fines and surcharges.

Plus a small fortune they would’ve likely dished out for Calgary counsel.

January 6, 2025:

We continue to hear that Bouvry in Fort MacLeod has closed.

That rumour, a misinterpretation of a post by a well known and much respected by us group persists.  The main FEEDLOT – which is not adjacent to the plant  has been closed for many months now.

The plant continues to slaughter horses almost every week.

We know that the plant has been up for sale, several times we’ve heard that the plant has sold, or that “only one signature was needed for the deal to be done”.

Those rumours have persisted since late 2022, increasing dramatically since the end of 2023.

We do NOT think that the plant has sold and even if it has  – horses are being slaughtered – again – weekly.

WHAT WE DO KNOW… 

With very special thanks to a lawyer in Alberta who wishes to remain anonymous we do know that Bouvry initially plead not guilty to charges laid against them by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Charges were laid July 17th, 2023 based on activities by Bouvry Exports Calgary, LTD, in 2021.

We describe the charges as animal cruelty and health food safety related.

You can learn more about the charges here.

Thanks to the same lawyer we know that the trial dates were set for January 6 to 17, 2025 in Fort MacLeod, Alberta.

But again – as far as we know – Bouvry appeared today, January 6th and will pay fines and surcharges of $17,000.
