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.
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.
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.
The team at https://horserescuefund.org has begun raising funds to support the Mitchell family in caring for the 4 emaciated horses they convinced Stephanie Redlick to relinquish.
[UPDATE Feb. 17, 2025: Despite a carefully planned and meticulously followed treatment protocol one of the four -- Seattle Sunrise -- was euthanized on the advice of a veterinarian.]
Providing these horses with veterinary care, prescriptions, specialized nutrition and farrier services has already been costly.
