SAVE THE HORSES NOW IS NOT A REGISTERED CHARITY.

Established on September 25, 2026, SAVE THE HORSES NOW is a federally incorporated not-for-profit corporation.  The directors listed below have received a business number and have NOT had to jump through any hoops.  This type of documentation is often issued within 24 hours.

It is NOT a registered as a charity with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and is NOT authorized to issue official charitable donation tax receipts.  Becoming the type of charity that can issue receipts for tax purposes requires jumping through many hoops and takes months or longer.  Again, the “business number” that SAVE THE HORSES NOW has is NOT that.

WHO ARE THE DIRECTORS?

According to Corporations Canada’s public records, included as directors listed for SAVE THE HORSES NOW are:

Sammy Redlick

Marianne Redlick

Why might the name Sammy Redlick sound familiar?

Sammy Redlick is the father of Stephanie Redlick,
Marianne Redlick is Stephanie Redlick’s mother.
Stephanie is the subject of criminal charges and animal welfare proceedings in Ontario.

The address listed on the document the address of a business that provides “virtual mailboxes”.  It is NOT the physical location of a rescue facility.  Do they have a physical location?  NOT that we have been able to find. No one has stepped forward to say this is where we are housing horses.

What does this mean for potential donors?

Federal incorporation as a not-for-profit corporation and having a CRA Business Number do not confer registered charitable status. SAVE THE HORSES NOW cannot issue official charitable donation tax receipts simply by virtue of its incorporation or Business Number.

Before donating money or relinquishing a horse, please do your homework.

Verify an organization’s charitable status through the CRA’s official List of Charities.

Ask for references, including veterinarians, and actually call them.

Visit the property where the horses are currently kept or where your horse is supposed to be housed if relinquished.

Don’t rely on social media profiles, promises, photographs or official-looking documents alone.

A little due diligence can make an enormous difference. Your money, your horse and their future deserve that extra care.

Every year thousands of horses are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption, but you can help us ban horse slaughter in Canada and beyond.

Some of the meat is consumed in Canada, and much of it is shipped to the European Union, and other markets, including Japan.

This barbaric practice is currently not legal 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 to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air to Japan for slaughter, is far from humane.
