THE ONE WHERE REDLICK CLAIMS SHE IS A REGISTERED CHARITY

THE ONE WHERE REDLICK CLAIMS SHE IS A REGISTERED CHARITY

BUT WAIT, NOW SHE’S TRYING TO SAY SHE NEVER SAID THAT…

Originally posted Juy 19th, 2025 & UPDATED January 28th, 2026.

Recently Stehanie Redlick — AKA Stephanie Alessia or what ever one of her over 40 aliases  she is going by at the moment — was interviewed – at her request – by Rebel News.  <== Watch the video there.

To the best of our knowledge she first claimed to be operating a rescue AFTER 16 horses of hers were seized by Animal Welfare Services (and 13 animal neglect charges were laid..)

[You can learn more about her aliases, animal seizures, related charges and the unrelated fraud and theft criminal charges she is facing here.]

Redlick reached out to Rebel News, the same way she reached out to Orillia Matters – asking for someone to tell her side of the story.

Well the story got told but we don’t think it was what she’d hoped for.

You’ll see below that Orillia Today reached out to the Canada Revenue Agency AFTER Redlick insisted she was a fully registered charity.

Hmm.  That was NOT confirmed.

When David Menzies interviewed her she changed her story and said she’d never claimed to be a registered charity and that she did NOT ask for donations.  If you have watched the video you know…

Menzies asked her several different ways if she ever claimed to be a charity — just to be sure she couldn’t come back later and say she didn’t understand the question.

Hmm.

We have screen shots of her website from last week where she is asking for donations.  Rebel News found the same thing when they visited her site last week and they are featured on the video in the opening remarks.

And we have screen shots from her social media (below).

PLUS of course as you scroll down you’ll see that she told the reporter at Orillia Matters that she was a registered charity.

OH, but wait, she also said she doesn’t take funds…

A CLOSE CALL & STARK REMINDER

This afternoon, we received a call from a friend—part of a chain of concerned women trying to help a young horse owner in her 20s.

Struggling to afford board, the young woman was considering surrendering her horse to a rescue. But thankfully, our friend warned her contact to be very cautious—too many horses are unknowingly relinquished to kill buyers and end up in the slaughter pipeline.

It turns out the “so-called” rescue contacted was Above the Stars Equine Rescue.

They requested $150 to secure a spot, plus an additional intake fee.

The woman was told—by Stephanie Martin, also known as Stephanie Redlick—that the horse would be taken to a property in the Ottawa Valley. Once picked up, she would never be allowed to see her horse again.

As reported by Orillia Matters, Above the Stars is not a registered charity—despite public claims to the contrary. The owner of the so called rescue – Stephanie Redlick who also goes by over 30 aliases including Stephanie Martin – is now facing multiple animal neglect charges by Animal Welfare Services AND criminal charges related to cattle theft and fraud.

“They are not, and never have been, a registered charity,” said Charity Intelligence Canada managing director, Kate Bahen, in the July 2025 Orillia Matters article.

Thankfully, the women advising this young horse owner quickly connected the dots. The horse is safe—and will not be surrendered to this so-called “rescue.”

Let this serve as a critical reminder:

Do your homework. Ask questions. Trust your gut.

And when in doubt—reach out to those who can help vet the situation before it’s too late.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2025:

We continue to receive troubling reports involving Stephanie Redlick, who is already facing multiple animal neglect charges filed by Animal Welfare Services of Ontario, along with unrelated criminal charges for fraud and theft reported by CTV News.

Redlick now appears to be operating alongside a partner, Lilianna (Lili) DiMatteo, and continues to represent herself publicly as both an equine therapist and the operator of a so-called horse rescue called “Under the Stars Equine Rescue.”

According to several accounts, Redlick has been offering “therapy” sessions, describing herself as “like a doctor but not a licensed therapist, so OHIP doesn’t cover my charges.”

Redlick reportedly requires payment upfront for multiple sessions via e-transfer, and if someone asks to meet her or see the property where the horses and sessions supposedly take place, she allegedly insists that payment must be made first — after which she proposes to meet the person at a Tim Hortons, rather than at any facility.

These reports are deeply concerning — especially given Redlick’s existing criminal and animal welfare history.

We urge anyone approached by Stephanie Redlick or Lilianna DiMatteo regarding horse purchases, therapy services, or “rescue” operations to exercise extreme caution and verify all claims before engaging in any transaction.

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.

STEPHANIE REDLICK’S 2 HORSES ARE SAFE

STEPHANIE REDLICK’S 2 HORSES ARE SAFE

STEPHANIE & SAMMY REDLICK ABANDONED 2 HORSES

Stephanie Redlick is a name many in Ontario’s horse and animal welfare communities have come to recognize — and fear. Her history includes 16 horses seized by Animal Welfare Services, 13 animal welfare charges, and multiple sets of criminal charges (see here and here), yet she remains legally permitted to continue acquiring horses.

On November 11, 2025 Redlick had a mare picked up and transported it to a property she was immediately barred from. Redlick was NOT allowed on the property.

The barn and boarding operation owner provided excellent care for 9 days – which she was not paid for.

On November 20th, 2025 Redlick had that mare hauled to yet another property and along the way a 4 month old colt was picked up.

Redlick – in typical Redlick fashion was immediately barred from that property and only allowed on with an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) escort.  The rent she promised to pay never materialized.

The horses were hauled away from that property near the end of the month under the custodian clause in the PAWS Act – even though she claimed they were stolen.

That story is here.

The horses then spent 6 days receiving much needed medical attention – no thanks to Redlick – she didn’t pay for any of the treatment or board.

Once again on that property she was only allowed onto the property with an OPP escort.

Next – due to a loop hole – she had them moved to a property on Curries Road in Norwich where the horses were lucky if she checked on them once per day and for at most 2 hours — but the majority of the days she showed up — it was only for 45 minutes to an hour.

Who leaves their horses unchecked for 23 hours per day – or even worse leaves them for 2 days?

After yet again presenting a check that bounced and neither she or her father Sammy Redlick making good on it – Redlick was officially and legally evicted from that property — and the horses considered abandoned.

Don’t worry, the horses are safe. They have been transported to a well recognized and highly regarded facility – where they are getting a full vet work up and all the appropriate care.

We have all the details and will share LOADS more soon – but in the meantime please know and get that Redlick will be looking to buy more horses and to secure another spot to keep them — so please warn your family and friends.

AND yes, she is allowed to accumulate horses even with all the charges against her.

PLEASE help us demand that the loophole in the PAWS Act that allows someone like Redlick to have horses be closed.

Please see the easy to fill out form letter below.

Horse slaughter in Canada is sadly, alive and well — both through the live export of horses for slaughter and through domestic slaughter here at home.

Horses are enduring brutal transport, and Canadians are being exposed to serious food safety risks tied to drugs never meant to enter the human food chain.

Parliament and the Senate had a chance to stop this.

Bill C-355 passed the House of Commons but stalled in the Senate and died when an election was called. That means the cruelty continues — unless Canadians speak up.

We’ve created a done-for-you email that makes it easy to take action in minutes.

Your message will go directly to the Prime Minister, the Minister of Agriculture, Senator Dalphond, and your local MP.

HORSES SLAUGHTERED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

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.

NEWBORN FOAL LEFT TO DIE

NEWBORN FOAL LEFT TO DIE

STEPHANIE REDLICK - NEGLECTED HORSES? 

YOU BE THE JUDGE

Originally published February 4, 2025.

Updated February 7, 2025.

JIM HORNE WRITES: 

On Sunday, February 2, 2025, at 4:30 pm I was called by my second cousin’s wife, Dianne Beleskey to ask if I could help Stephanie Redlick whose mare had given birth the night before.

Dianne works at a gas station close to a property that Stephanie Redlick leases and Stephanie came into the gas station to get some water for the mare.

Stephanie Redlick told Dianne the foal was born during the night in a small uninsulated barn in Oro-Medonte, Ontario. The outside temperature was minus 18 Celsius. (Minus 26 with the wind chill factor.)

The newborn somehow got hung up over a chain that goes from a gate to a post at the end of the stall and the foal was stuck there until Stephanie - who lives over an hour away in North York - arrived the next day. 

JIM HORNE CONTINUES: 

Once freed from the gate the foal's back legs were stiff.

I arrived at approximately 6 pm.

When I went into the small barn, which is more of a shed, I saw the mom and her foal.

The stall had about 3 feet of manure in it and the mare was eating hay that was also her bedding.

The baby was uncovered and cold. I immediately got a bottle from Stephanie, fed the foal and asked Stephanie to milk the mother and get more milk to feed the filly.

I covered the foal in blankets and rubbed her.

I squeezed her back legs and was happy to get a response to the pressure.

I lifted her up and she was putting some weight on her back legs but she was not strong enough to keep standing on her own.

I laid her back down and fed her again.

She had a vigorous appetite.

I told Stephanie that the mare and foal needed to go to the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph and that I would arrange for transportation.

Redlick said she couldn’t afford trailering, so I said I would pay for it.

Stephanie’s mother was there as well. I told both of them that they must stay with the baby all night feeding her, keeping her warm and allowing her to sleep between feedings.

I warned them that she would die if they did not do as I asked.

They both agreed to stay all night in their vehicle and care for the foal until I picked her up in the morning.

I received a text from Stephanie around 6:15 am saying she just went back to Toronto (an hour away from the foal) to nap and that I could load her and take her.  [MDB writes: That turned out to be a lie.]

I said she had to be present as I didn't want to later be accused of stealing her.

She then said she had to take her dad to the hospital and would not be able to get back to the barn till later.

I asked her when the foal was last fed. She said 7:15 a.m. which didn't make sense as she sent me a text at 6:15 a.m. that she was an hour away napping - and wouldn't be able to come to the property until later in the morning.  She didn't get to the barn until after 9 a.m.

I looked after my horses and then headed over to the property Stephanie leases to wait for Stephanie and to feed the foal while I waited.

When I got there I could see the baby half covered with the blankets and she had digging marks all around her, made by the mother trying to get her up.

The foal was dead.

Stephanie did not stay the night and texted Dianne during the night to say she didn’t stay because she was too tired.

When Stephanie arrived, I looked at her and told her the foal was dead.

I asked her if she stayed all night and she swore she did and said she fed her every twenty minutes and rubbed her all night to keep her warm.

That didn't make sense based on what she'd texted Dianne Beleskey.

I am including a screenshot (below) of the message Stephanie sent to Dianne on Sunday evening February 2, stating that she'd left.

Stephanie did not appear upset in any way, she Just wanted to know how to dispose of the body. I told her to call a dead stock company but instead after 2 days of the dead foal lying in the stall with the mother, she dragged it to the woods for coyotes to eat.

I would also like to note that inside the "barn" any water buckets were frozen solid and the outside water troughs were empty.

I am haunted by this situation.

Had I known what I was dealing with I would have stayed.

I’m certain the foal would have lived.

At that point, I vowed that this beautiful foal's death would not be in vain and that I would do anything and everything I could to stop Stephanie Redlick from inflicting such cruelty on any other trusting beautiful soul.

Horses only have us to protect them and now after a week of endless phone calls and police visits I am frustrated that it feels like my complaints and concerns are falling on deaf ears.

Jim Horne

FOAL DEATH DUE TO NEGLECT?

AGAIN, YOU BE THE JUDGE

Stephanie Relick sent this text to Dianne Beleskey at 12:03 AM on February 3rd, just after midnight.

Earlier, she had assured Jim Horne that she would stay with the newborn foal throughout the night, ensuring she was fed every twenty minutes and kept warm.

Jim had emphasized that if Stephanie didn’t stay, the foal—who was too weak to stand and unable to nurse from her mother—would not survive.

Despite this, Stephanie appears to have left the barn around 11 PM, possibly even earlier. Again she lives an hour away from where the foal was and she promised to stay the night but she didn't come back till after 9 a.m. the following morning.

As a result, the helpless foal was left alone in the freezing barn. By the time Jim arrived to take the foal to the vet - offering to haul her for Redlick - because she couldn't afford hauling - the foal was dead.

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

Her default tactic is to aggressively smear and discredit those who expose the truth. That intimidation has been effective in silencing people and delaying accountability. But when one person is willing to stand firm, it changes everything.

Jim Horne’s willingness to stick his neck out is exactly why we picked up this story. He spoke openly, knowing the personal cost, and refused to back down when others had been pressured into silence. Nor did his neighbour and friend, Crystal Mitchell back down.

Crystal also chose integrity over safety and stood her ground knowing she would be targeted as well. What happened next—and the courage it took to keep going—explains why this story continues, and why it must be told.

WHY IS REDLICK ALLOWED TO HAVE HORSES?

WHY IS REDLICK ALLOWED TO HAVE HORSES?

THAT IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION 

How can Stephanie Redlick AKA Stephanie Alessia still have access to horses after

16 were seized,

animal-welfare charges were laid,

permanent custody of the animals was lost,

and more than $116,000 is owed to the Ontario government for their care?

The answer isn’t comfortable, but it’s important.

The short version is this: Ontario’s animal-welfare system is reactive, fragmented, and full of gaps that allow repeat harm unless courts step in decisively.

Let’s break it down — and then talk about what can still happen when the Animal Welfare Services’ charges she’s facing go before a judge.

SEIZURE DOES NOT MEAN A BAN ON HORSE OWNERSHIP

16 horses were seized by Animal Welfare Services in February 2025 after Stephanie Redlick failed to comply with orders under the PAWS Act.

When animals are seized by Ontario Animal Welfare Services, the law is focused on immediate distress, not future prevention.

A seizure:

– Removes animals that are currently suffering

– Transfers custody of those specific animals

– Allows the Province to recover costs for care

What it does NOT do automatically is ban someone from ever owning animals again.

We know, we know – that seems criminal – doesn’t it?

Unless a court explicitly orders a prohibition, the law treats any future animal as a “new situation.”

That’s how someone can be deemed unfit to regain seized horses — yet still legally obtain others.

THE PART EVERYONE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND

(& WHY THIS IS NOT OVER)

 Yes — she is still legally allowed to have horses. For now.

Nothing in the FIRST part of the decisions by Animal Welfare Services that Redlick owes over $1116,000 for the care of the horses seized by AWS in March 2025 bans Stephanie Redlick from owning, handling, or acquiring horses in Ontario. AT LEAST NOT YET.

Why?

Because these first  proceedings were only about the money — the cost of caring for the 16 horses after they were seized.

It was not a prohibition hearing.

It was not a trial to determine if she was guilty of abuse.

That will come later.

And it had nothing to do with future ownership restrictions.

So despite:

-16 horses seized

– horses forfeited to the Crown

– over $116,000 in public costs confirmed

– ongoing animal-welfare charges

She can still legally possess horses today.

That is a gaping hole in Ontario’s animal-protection framework.

AND YES – SHE ALREADY HAS MORE HORSES

At present, Stephanie Redlick has two horses in her possession. And the cheque for the barn rental where they currently are – bounced – no surprise – right?

Which means:

– she needs somewhere to keep them

– she needs someone willing to board them

– and she has every incentive to move them quietly, quickly, and without scrutiny

If history is any guide, she will be looking for:

– a field

– a “temporary” arrangement

– a sympathetic or uninformed barn owner

– a private individual outside the horse world

And she will not lead with the full story.

THIS IS WHY THE AWS REGULATIONS NEED TO CHANGE

Ontario currently allows someone to:

– have animals seized for neglect

– rack up six-figure care costs

– lose animals by forfeiture

– and immediately go out and get more animals

All before:

– animal neglect/abuse charges are resolved

– guilt is proven

– sentencing occurs

That is backwards.

There must be a mechanism allowing Animal Welfare Services to:

– prohibit ownership

– prohibit custody

– prohibit handling or care

– on an interim basis

…where there is a demonstrated pattern of neglect, non-compliance, or risk — separate before being found guilty.

Public safety allows this in other contexts.

Animal safety should too.

A DIRECT WARNING TO BARN OWNERS

& RURAL PROPERTY OWNERS

If you are approached to board one to two or more  horses — especially under:

– vague circumstances

– short timelines

– sob stories

– without a contract, vet references, barn references, ID, deposit and first month

– “temporary” arrangements

Stop. Ask questions. Verify.

Because once horses are on your property, you may be the one left feeding them, caring for them, or dealing with the fallout – and the fallout can include being held responsible for any neglect.

This is not hypothetical.

This has already happened — repeatedly.

AND FINALLY – REDLICK IS STILL BUSY IN THE FEDERAL CRIMINAL COURTS

Separate and apart from animal-welfare matters:

Stephanie Redlick is back in criminal court on theft and fraud charges

CRIMINAL CHARGES LAID: May, 27, 2025

CTV NEWS REPORTS: [Stephanie Redlick] accused of fraud totalling more than $26,000, theft over $5,000, making forged documents, as well as false pretences 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.

(Barrie) (Midland)

Next court appearance:

Case number: 3811998258230046000

THURSDAY, January 29, 2026

——————————————————

Stephanie Redlick is set to appear again on a whole new set of theft and fraud criminal charges…

Different files.

Yet again – theft and fraud charges

Same pattern.

DEC. 9, 2025: CTV NEWS reports:  Stephanie Redlick, 29, of Bradford has been charged by South Simcoe police with uttering a forged document, fraud over $5,000, and being in possession of the proceeds of crime and forgery.

According to court documents obtained by CTV News, Redlick is accused of passing off an altered cheque to defraud a livestock auction house in Cookstown out of more than $15,000 in March.

Provincial police confirmed a warrant was issued for Redlick’s arrest and she was picked up by police in Toronto. Investigators confirmed Redlick is known to police.

(Bradford)

Next court appearance:

Case number: 3811998258130159400

Thursday, February 12, 2026

BOTTOM LINE

Until Ontario closes this loophole:

– animals remain at risk
–  the public keeps paying
– and people like Redlick keep cycling through the system

Seizure without prohibition is a half-measure.

And half-measures still leave animals exposed.

This is why vigilance matters.

This is why people need to share information about known abusers to protect their family and friends.

And this is why “just two horses” is never just two horses.

STEPHANIE REDLICK VS AWS CLASS ACTION SUIT?

STEPHANIE REDLICK VS AWS CLASS ACTION SUIT?

A LINE-BY-LINE REALITY CHECK

Recently, Stephanie Redlick posted the following statement about Animal Welfare Services.
Let’s take it line by line — and match claims to facts.

“Animal Welfare Services (Ontario, Canada). I strongly disagree with your approach.”

Stephanie Redlick AKA Stephanie Alessia you are most definitely entitled to disagree.

What you’re not entitled to do is rewrite reality after enforcement action has already occurred — lawfully, documented, and upheld.

Disagreement does not invalidate seizures.

It does not erase charges.

And it does not undo forfeiture orders.

Or your bill of over $116,000.

“There are animals in distress, and your actions seem to undermine our farming operations.”

Interesting choice of words.

Since November 11, 2025, the horses currently connected to you have been moved three or is it four times, across rented properties.

That is not a “farming operation.”

That is instability.

Oh wait, are you finally admitting that animals are in distress who are under your care?

Your horses were definitely in distress when Animal Welfare Services (AWS) seizured 16 horses in your so called ‘care’ back in February of 2025.

You seem to forget that charges were laid  because animals were already in distress.

And that thousands of citizens in Ontario reached out to those at Animal Welfare Services to complain that those seizures were taking way too long.

“We take pride in maintaining high-quality livestock.”

Then let’s talk about outcomes.

16 horses seized

Permanent forfeiture ordered

Multiple animal neglect charges

Over $116,000 owed for their care

“High-quality livestock management” does not end in seizure, forfeiture, and six-figure care costs billed to you but will likely ultimately have to be paid by the taxpayers of Ontario.

That’s not pride.

That’s a paper trail.

“…our family farm…”

Family farm?

In your dreams.

There is no family farm.

There is no owned farm property.

There are 3 rented locations in under two months.

3 addresses is not agriculture.

Oh but wait we say ‘rented’ but have you fully paid for any of those property rentals?

It’s eviction roulette.

“…allegations of misconduct and theft amounting to millions of dollars.” 

This is where projection enters the chat.

Stephanie Redlick you are currently facing:

– Criminal fraud and theft charges laid May 2025, as reported by CTV News

– Additional fraud charges laid December 2025, again, as reported by CTV News

– Multiple animal animal neglect charges

Calling enforcement “the biggest crime in Ontario history” while standing in criminal court is bold — we’ll give you that.

Accuracy, however, remains elusive.

“I would like to connect with others who have interacted with Animal Welfare Services…”

Translation:

“I would like to crowdsource grievance.”

Anecdotes do not override statutory authority.

Nor do they erase inspection findings, veterinary reports, or court decisions.

“We are currently involved in a class-action lawsuit…”

This one deserves special attention.

Real class actions against Ontario:

– Are brought by major law firms

– Involve multiple plaintiffs

– Require independent evidence

– Demand deep financing

– Take years of litigation planning

What they are not:

– Facebook announcements

– Books and movies “in motion”

Single defendants in criminal court who brag that they more than qualify for legal aid

– Claims without named plaintiffs, counsel, or court filings

– A lone defendant with seized animals and six-figure care costs is not a “class.”

That’s not litigation.

That’s attempted posturing.

“…anticipate releasing video evidence…”

Please do.

AND funny you should mention that – we have so many more pictures and videos that have of course been given to the authorities and that we will release to the press and public  just before you go to trial.

Courts love evidence.

They’re less impressed by trailers, teasers, or cinematic universes — but actual footage?

That belongs in an evidence brief.

We look forward to your version of Exhibit A.

“Effective farm management is crucial… having grown up on a farm…”

Let’s review what YOUR “professional farm management” looked like in practice:

Frozen water buckets

– Horses standing ankle-deep in manure

– Little to no shelter (for the majority)

– Minimal hay — mouldy, strings still attached

– Open wounds

– Hooves desperately overdue for trimming

– Horses reduced to skin and bone

Horses so emaciated that even equine specialists and thousands of dollars in veterinary care couldn’t save them.

Experience doesn’t excuse neglect.

If anything, it removes plausible deniability.

“I extend my deepest condolences to all taxpayers of Ontario…”

On this point, we agree.

Taxpayers are footing the bill for:

– Emergency seizures

– Long-term care

– Veterinary intervention

– Enforcement costs

All of which were entirely preventable.

“Our books & movies are in motion…”

By all means — release them.

Just remember:

In court, fiction doesn’t carry any weight.

 

BOTTOM LINE

This is not persecution.

And it certainly isn’t a class action.

It’s a documented case of animal neglect, financial instability, and criminal charges — wrapped in confident storytelling.

Stephanie Redlick has more than a few phone numbers including:

(226) 988-2005 | (647) 220-3691 | (437) 600-7158 | (647) 695-3057 | (705) 998-7705 | (613) 263-0641 | (647) 797-0289 | (705) 315-0588 | (316) 746-8529 | (647) 474-4071 | (705) 535-0525 | (705) 300-0340 | (226) 988-6961 | * (416) 885-9422 |  (226) 988-2005 | (705) 370-6661 | (647) 365-1265 | (705) 995-3697 | (778) 400-0408 | (905) 334-8077 | (416) 507-6450 | Douglas: (647) 462-7004 | (705) 809-0249

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.

SPEAK UP - IT TAKES LESS THAN A MINUTE

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.

HORSES SLAUGHTERED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

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.

STEPHANIE REDLICK VOICE SAMPLE

STEPHANIE REDLICK VOICE SAMPLE

WHY THIS VOICEMAIL MATTERS

This recording is being shared as a public-warning voice sample, so others can recognize the voice, language, and intimidation tactics used by Stephanie Redlick AKA Stephanie Alessia — particularly important given the repeated use of aliases and rotating phone numbers.

More importantly, it preserves what was said at the time, before later versions of events were asserted by Redlick.

STEPHANIE REDLICK AKA STEPHANIE ALESSIA

THANK YOU REDLICK FOR YET ANOTHER SAMPLE OF YOUR VOICE

 REDLICK’S VOICEMAIL PROPHECIES VERSUS REALITY

(A brief case study in things that did NOT happen)

In the February 7, 2025 voicemail ABOVE, Stephanie Redlick confidently warned that:

– The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would seize horses from Crystal

– A volunteer (Celia) would face harsh criminal trespassing charges

–  Redlick’s attorneys would “see you (Crystal) in court”

Bold predictions. Very dramatic.

Also… completely wrong.

 “MY ATTORNEYS WILL SEE YOU IN COURT”

This phrase appears repeatedly in communications attributed to Redlick and is used as an intimidation tactic.

However, in criminal court on December 18, 2025, Redlick clearly stated:

“I’ve applied to legal aid several times… Financially, I am capable of getting it.”

This statement sits in stark contrast to ongoing claims of a “hot-shot legal team.”

 “THE HORSES WE HAVE DONATED TO YOU”

it is also important to note that in the voicemail, Redlick refers to the horses as “the horses that we have donated to you.”

That matters, because she later claimed the horses were stolen — and later still claimed Crystal owed $20,000 for them.

All three stories cannot be true.

One of the four horses donated – in Redlick’s own words – by Redlick –  to Crystal — Seattle Sunrise — was in such severe condition that equine specialists warned he might not survive. He was later humanely euthanized after thousands were spent attempting to save him.

OPP SEIZURE OF CRYSTAL’S HORSES?  DID NOT HAPPEN.

Despite the voicemail’s certainty, the OPP never seized the horses from Crystal.

The three surviving horses remain safely in Crystal’s care, lawfully placed, and untouched by police.

Apparently the OPP did not receive the memo.

CELIA ARRESTED?  ONLY IN REDLICK’S IMAGINATION.

Celia was not arrested.

She was not charged.

She was not prosecuted for trespassing — ‘harshly’ or otherwise.

The only criminal courtroom activity that followed this voicemail involved Stephanie Redlick facing TWO sets of multiple criminal charges.

MEANWHILE BACK IN THE REAL WORLD…

While Celia and Crystal went on with their lives, as CTV News reported — Redlick has been seen in criminal court – multiple times.  

FRAUD & FORGERY – 1ST SET OF CRIMINAL CHARGES

According to CTV News, Redlick appeared in court accused of:

Fraud totaling more than $26,000

Theft over $5,000

Making forged documents

False pretenses with intent to defraud using livestock worth more than $5,000

FRAUD & FORGERY – 2ND SET OF CRIMINAL CHARGES 

 (BECAUSE APPARENTLY ONCE WASN’T ENOUGH)

In a separate report, CTV News confirms that South Simcoe Police Service charged Redlick with:

Uttering a forged document

Fraud over $5,000

Possession of proceeds of crime

Forgery

Court documents allege she passed off an altered cheque to defraud a livestock auction house in Cookstown of more than $15,000.

SO ABOUT THOSE HORSES BEING SEIZED…

❌ No horses were seized from Crystal
❌ No volunteer was charged
❌ No trespassing prosecution against Celia happened

✅ Redlick was arrested (at least TWICE)
✅ Redlick faces multiple criminal fraud and forgery charges
Redlick also faces animal welfare charges after 16 horses in HER so call ‘care’ were seized

It turns out the only person whose legal situation escalated after this voicemail…

was the person who left it – AKA Miss Redlick.

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.
