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.

ONTARIO BARN OWNER DENIED RENT

by Marie Bennett | Dec 12, 2025 | ANIMAL WELFARE SERVICES, BARN RENTAL DEFAULT, CUSTODIAN, Horse Slaughter, INN KEEPERS ACT, MS REDLICK, MS S REDLICK, MS STEPHANIE REDLICK, MS. REDLICK, MS. S REDLICK, PAWS, Sammy Redlick, Stephanie Alessia, Stephanie Redlick

IF YOU ARE NOT PROVIDING BOARD

Bottom line

In Ontario:

The Innkeepers Act does NOT apply to unpaid barn rental with no services.

Custodian responsibility DOES apply.

Non-payment or rent = loss of permission to be on the property EVEN if horses are left there.

Refusal to leave = trespass.

Horses cannot be used as leverage to squat.

Barn owners have both the right — and the obligation — to act.

Custodian Responsibility vs. the Innkeepers Act — What Actually Applies

There is growing confusion around whether the Innkeepers Act prevents barn owners from acting when someone refuses to pay rent and leaves horses behind.

In a barn-rental-only situation, the law is clear.

❌ The Innkeepers Act does NOT apply here

The Innkeepers Act was designed for hotels and lodging for people, not agricultural buildings or private barns.

It does not apply when:

A barn is rented privately

No accommodation for people is provided

No board, feed, or care is provided

No services are being rendered

Rent has not been paid

A barn owner renting empty stall space is not an innkeeper.

There is:

No “guest”

No “inn”

No service-based lien

No board = no lien under the Innkeepers Act.

A claim we are seeing more and more often is that a barn owner is somehow prevented from acting because of Ontario’s Innkeepers Act.

That claim is wrong in law in a barn-rental-only situation.

Under Ontario’s Innkeepers Act, a lien over a guest’s property can arise only when BOTH of the following conditions are met:

Services are actually provided, and

Charges are owed for those services

In the current cases we are seeing with the Redlicks — and in many similar cases across Ontario — no services are being provided at all.

If the barn owner is:

❌ Not feeding
❌ Not watering
❌ Not mucking
❌ Not providing care
❌ Not providing supervision

There is NOT ANY service-based lien under the Innkeepers Act.

Simply renting empty stall or barn space does not create an innkeeper–guest relationship, and it does not give rise to an innkeeper’s lien.

Renting space alone is not enough.

Non-payment of rent ends permission

When barn rent is not paid:

The agreement is breached

Permission to occupy the barn can be revoked

The person keeping horses there loses the right to remain

This is contract law, not tenancy law.

Once permission is withdrawn, continued presence is trespass.

Custodian status DOES apply — and this is critical

While the Innkeepers Act does not apply, Ontario’s Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act (PAWS) does.

Under PAWS, a person can become a custodian simply by:

Allowing animals to remain on their property

Knowing the animals are there

Providing shelter (even unintentionally)

⚠️ Even if NO feed, water, or care is provided, the property owner can still be exposed to liability if animals are neglected or harmed.

This is why doing nothing is dangerous for barn owners.

Can the horses be moved?

Yes.

When:

Rent has not been paid

Permission has been revoked

The owner refuses to remove the horses

The barn owner faces welfare or legal liability

The barn owner may:

Arrange for the horses to be removed

Move them to a safe location

Seek a veterinary assessment

Contact Animal Welfare Services (PAWS)

Act to protect the animals and their property

This is not theft when properly documented and done to prevent harm.

“But we were told the Innkeepers Act stops us”

This is a common and incorrect claim.

The Innkeepers Act does NOT override:

Property rights

Contract law

Trespass law

Animal welfare obligations

It cannot be used to force a barn owner to host unpaid horses indefinitely.

When ANIMAL WELFARE SERVICES should be called

Call Animal Welfare Services if:

Horses are being used to force continued access

The owner is absent or uncooperative

Welfare standards are uncertain

You are being told to “wait” while liability grows

ANIMAL WELFARE SERVICES can:

Issue orders

Direct removal

Declare abandonment

Provide protection for the property owner

Practical steps for barn owners

Put termination in writing (text/email is sufficient)

Set a clear removal deadline

Document unpaid rent

Photograph stall and horse conditions

Keep all communication

Contact PAWS if welfare is at risk

LETTER|PDF FOR OPP

LETTER | PDF FOR AWS

Are the horses “abandoned” if barn rent isn’t paid and they aren’t moved?

Short answer…

Not automatically.

Non-payment of rent alone does not instantly make horses “abandoned” under Ontario law.

However, continued failure to act after notice, combined with lack of care or refusal to retrieve the horses, can lead to a finding of abandonment — but that determination is made by Animal Welfare Services (PAWS), not the barn owner.

What “abandonment” means under PAWS.

Under the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, 2019 (PAWS), abandonment is not defined by one single act.

It is assessed based on conduct and circumstances, including:

Failure to provide adequate care

Failure to make arrangements for care

Leaving animals without reasonable supervision

Refusing or failing to retrieve animals after being directed to do so

Allowing animals to remain where their welfare is at risk

Unpaid rent + refusal to remove horses + no meaningful care can support an abandonment finding — but PAWS must make that call.

Can the barn owner declare the horses abandoned?

No.

A barn owner cannot unilaterally declare horses abandoned and take ownership simply because rent hasn’t been paid.

Doing so risks:

Civil liability
Criminal allegations (theft / conversion)
Complicating PAWS enforcement
This is a key distinction.

Can the barn owner sell the horses?

No — not without PAWS or a court order.

In your fact pattern:
No board provided
No agister’s lien
No innkeeper’s lien
No court judgment

The barn owner does NOT have the legal authority to sell the horses.

Selling them without legal authority would be high risk and could expose the barn owner to serious legal consequences.

SO, HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS…

Can Animal Welfare Services of Ontario step in and seize the horses?

YES — and this is the correct pathway.

Under PAWS, Animal Welfare Services (AWS) can:

Attend the property

Assess welfare

Issue orders to the horse owner

Set deadlines for compliance or removal

Seize the horses if:

They are in distress

Orders are not complied with

The owner is absent, uncooperative, or refuses to act

The situation amounts to abandonment

Once AWS seizes the animals, they — not the barn owner — control disposition.

That may include:

Transfer to a rescue
Sale
Adoption
Long-term placement
Euthanasia (if medically necessary)

This protects the barn owner from liability.

What the barn owner can do (and should do)

Step-by-step safest route:

Terminate the barn rental in writing
Set a clear deadline for removal of horses
Document non-payment and non-compliance
Contact Animal Welfare Services (PAWS)

Advise PAWS that:

Horses are on your property
Rent is unpaid
Permission is revoked
You cannot assume care
You are concerned about welfare and liability

Do not sell or rehome the horses yourself

Cooperate fully with PAWS or police attendance

Why PAWS involvement matters

Once PAWS is involved:

The abandonment determination is legally grounded
The barn owner is shielded from accusations
The animals’ welfare is prioritized
Disposition is handled lawfully

This is exactly how the legislation is designed to work.

BOTTOM LINE:

Unpaid rent alone ≠ automatic abandonment
Barn owner cannot sell the horses
PAWS can assess, order removal, and seize
Abandonment determinations belong to PAWS
Acting unilaterally creates risk
Calling PAWS protects everyone — especially the animals – OR at least it is designed to.

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.

OPEN LETTER TO STEPHANIE REDLICK

by Marie Bennett | Dec 12, 2025 | Horse Slaughter, Sammy Redlick, Sammy Zee, Stephanie Alessia, Stephanie Martin, Stephanie Redlick

REDLICK YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE…

To every person who has refused to stay silent — who has spoken up, shared posts, made calls, sent tips, warned others about Stephanie Redlick and her father Sammy Redlick, and helped raise awareness — thank you.

Your courage matters. Your voices matter. And every piece of information you’ve shared about locations, movements, and patterns has made a real difference.

Because of you, this community is safer. And because of you, the truth keeps surfacing — no matter how hard the Redlicks try to bury it.

Stephanie Redlick – or whatever you are calling yourself today – and Sammy Redlick:

Last Friday, when you arranged to have your horses hauled away from a property where they were receiving excellent care — care you refused to pay for — you may have believed you’d slipped out quietly.

You didn’t.

Within hours, tips started coming in.

We had the exact address where the 2 horses you currently own were moved to almost as soon as they landed in their latest location.

Within minutes of that, we had the phone number of the property owner — who was immediately informed of who, exactly, he was dealing with.

A decision was made not to tip our hand right away.

So yes — we owe our followers an apology. When we asked the community to help locate the horses, we already knew where you had moved the horses and…

We hid the fact we were already in contact with the owner because the property owner wanted to see if he could recover some money from you before you inevitably did what you always do: disappear and leave someone else holding the bag.

And we were more than happy to help a kind, generous man who agreed to accept – BEFORE he realized who you were:

a $100 cash deposit, and

a post-dated cheque (dated for today) for the balance of the barn rent.

He even offered to sell you hay while you “secured your own.”

(You know — the one or two bales at a time you buy, because that’s all the cash you can scrape together at any given moment.)

We suspect you realized he was onto you when he pressed you for more money.

Thankfully, while we let on that we didn’t know who owned the property, he managed to extract a few hundred dollars more — otherwise you would have once again walked away without paying any more than $100, after squatting on yet another property.

At least he got a little something more – we all know the cheque he has in his hands won’t clear today.

Oh, and…

We’re sorry we missed you in criminal court yesterday – or maybe you thought we did – we have many eyes on you and reports coming in from many sources.

We assume it was in relation to the latest charges — the new CRIMINAL charges CTV News reported on Wednesday during their 6:00 p.m. broadcast.

“Show up with a doctor’s note, or spend Christmas in jail.”

No exceptions. No excuses.

Apparently, the judge wasn’t buying your claim of having COVID so you couldn’t appear in person — and made it clear that without written confirmation from a doctor, you’d be spending Christmas in jail.

Meanwhile, our inbox and voicemail is exploding. Again.

People are reporting that you are already looking for another place to move the mare and colt currently in your possession.

There are people working quietly behind the scenes — calling and texting haulers, boarding facilities, and property owners.

We’re monitoring all social media platforms, Kijiji, and Craigslist.

Posters are going up in more and more places:

feed stores,

dollar stores,

veterinary clinics — and beyond.

Awareness campaigns in community groups and equine groups continue to grow.

And that growth is not slowing down.

We’re tracking new aliases and phone numbers here.

So let us be very clear:

Stephanie Redlick and Sammy Redlick — you can run.

But you can’t hide.

2 HORSES + 1 ABUSER: ONTARIO WE NEED YOUR EYES

by Marie Bennett | Dec 6, 2025 | Above the Stars Equine Rescue, Sammy Redlick, Sammy Zee, Stephanie Alessia, Stephanie Redlick

AT LEAST TWO HORSES AT RISK

Saturday, December 6, 2025: Yesterday, after weeks of taking advantage of people’s kindness — and effectively stealing board since November 11th — Stephanie Redlick (AKA “Stephanie Alessia”) and her father, the ‘oily’ Sammy Redlick, (currently masquerading as Sammy Zee) moved two vulnerable horses to an unknown location.

Sunday, December 7, 2025: Thanks to the OPP we have the EXACT address of the property on Curries Road, NORWICH — that the horses were hauled to on FRIDAY.

Now we’re looking forward to speaking with those…

– living on the property

– plus the owners of the property &

– someone who is leasing the barn separately

REACH OUT: (250) 801 8231

A mare with a bowed tendon, sore neck, back, and hind end — who Redlick claims is pregnant.

Keep in mind that she is delusional (they could use Stephanie Redlick’s picture on this site as the perfect example) – so we do NOT know if she is pregnant or not.

It’s debatable which Redlick spreads faster – her cruelty or her lies.

A 4 to 5 month-old colt with a weepy infected puncture wound – a swollen leg.

dutch-harness-horse-redlick-leg-puncture-stephanie-alessia

redlick-foal-stephanie-dhh-dutch-harness-horse-leg puncture

He was finally receiving treatment for the puncture wound (NOT of course by Redlick) and that wound if left alone could have turned into something much worse.

And we all know Redlick’s history when it comes to wounds and even the most basic of care requirements.

Will that colt’s treatment continue now? Based on the condition of the 16 horses seized by from Redlick in February Animal Welfare Services for neglect and the 13 charges she is currently facing — only 15 of whom survived — we’re not exactly optimistic.

Why were they moved?

Because the Ontario Provincial Police intervened – and unlike Redlick’s claim to have a legal team – there was an ‘actual’ lawyer involved…

The OPP and lawyer gave Redlick an ultimatum: move the horses by 5 PM Friday… or else start paying board.

Redlick has moved on to start squatting somewhere else because of course she doesn’t believe that she should have to pay board or rent (or pay for hauling, hay or heaven help vet care – you know – she’s special).

And here’s the question so many are asking:

How is someone who had 16 horses seized by Animal Welfare Services — with one dead — still legally allowed to possess horses?

It’s a fair question. No, that is a GREAT question.

A question we’ve asked with the F-word worked into the sentence.

And it highlights a massive flaw in Ontario’s animal welfare system:

Redlick is allowed to continue acquiring animals with ZERO oversight until she is found guilty or pleads guilty.

She has already failed twice in front of Tribunals — and while it’s a relief that she will never regain those 15 surviving horses — YET nothing stops her from collecting new ones while the case drags on.

HERE’S WHERE WE NEED THE PUBLIC’S HELP

We do know this much: a male hauler picked up the two horses sometime yesterday — and he was explicitly instructed by the Redlicks not to disclose where he was taking them.

We know, we know – you are thinking why on earth would the woman who took these horses in – who has had them for the last week or so – who has bent over backward to give them exceptional care – not tell us who hauled them so we could call the hauler and say:

“Please for the love of God, for the sake of some poor unsuspecting victims – both human and equine tell us where you took them”.

Especially knowing that the victim of the CRIMINAL fraud and theft charges Redlick is currently facing in court is an 80-plus-year-old man – who is out $60,000.

You could knock us over with a feather and to say we are disappointed – we don’t have the words to describe just how disappointed we were for the blink of an eye – that WE do NOT have the hauler’s info.

The OPP and AWS – will NOT follow up at this point.

Redlick – we know you’re reading this. But before you get feeling too smug and proud of yourself – you surely realize by now…

You can run but you can’t hide. Someone will out you – even if the OPP and AWS – feel like their hands are tied – at least for now.

Again, the woman who previously had custody of them — frightened by Redlick’s bullying, public smears, slandering and intimidation — refused to give the hauler’s name or any details to us.

The hauler was informed when he came to pick them up who he was dealing with.

And it was suggested that he get paid in cash.

Maybe if he’d known before he showed up he wouldn’t have taken the job.

He wouldn’t have agreed to haul for the Redlicks at all, and…

Once informed of Stephanie Redlick’s history yesterday, you would think he would have come forward with where he’d been instructed to take them — if he really was as reported a ‘nice guy’ — both for the horses’ safety and out of concern for the unsuspecting property owner now stuck with a problem they don’t yet know they have.

But he did NOT.

Someone out there may know a hauler who picked up two horses on Friday, December 5th, from a property near Erin, Ontario.

If you do, please speak up.

At this point we are not interested in outing him. We only want to be able to keep tabs on the horses.

PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR REDLICK AND AT LEAST 2 HORSES…

Someone, somewhere, is going to see the two horses above.

Redlick may already be trying to acquire more — she has a long track record of doing exactly that.

Remember: Stephanie Redlick uses multiple aliases.

For convenience, we’ve listed many of them here so the public can recognize her no matter which name she chooses that day.

Please reach out. Confidentially. Safely. (250) 801-8231

Your anonymity will always be protected.

REDLICK CAN SLANDER, HARASS & THREATEN

We’re not going away – her tactics don’t work on us!

We’re not looking away.

And we’re not letting horses like these fall through the cracks again.

If you want to stand with us and help fund the work it takes to expose neglect and provide lifesaving care, donate here.

Together, we make sure the truth isn’t buried — and the horses don’t pay the price.

Unlike Stephanie Redlick, we actually show up, feed horses, and keep our commitments.

If you want to help us continue doing the literal opposite of whatever Redlick professes to do, we’d be grateful for your support.

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.

We are 100% volunteer & crowdfunded.

STEPHANIE REDLICK IN CRIMINAL COURT AGAIN

by Marie Bennett | Dec 4, 2025 | Stephanie Alessia, Stephanie Redlick

STEPHANIE REDLICK’S LATEST EXCUSE FALLS FLAT

Today, Stephanie Redlick—currently hiding behind the name “Stephanie Alessia” online—made her 8th appearance in criminal court.

And, right on schedule, she rolled out the same tired excuse: she still hasn’t managed to secure a Legal Aid lawyer.

Except this time, the court clerk finally said what everyone else has been thinking:

The alleged crimes occurred in September 2024, the charges were laid in May 2025, and every single court date since has come with a brand-new excuse.

It’s almost impressive how many ways one person can avoid taking responsibility.

The judge, clearly finished with the circus, has now given her one final chance:

Thursday, December 18th, 2025.

Show up with a lawyer, don’t show up with a lawyer — either way, this case is moving forward. Pre-trial dates will be set, and if Redlick chooses to represent herself, well… that’s entirely her decision.

(And honestly, the popcorn is ready.)

Because at this point, it’s obvious: Redlick genuinely believes she’s above the law — that rules exist for everyone else, but not for her. A scam artist to the core, still convinced she’s too clever to ever be held accountable.

Spoiler alert: she’s not.

And let’s not forget — this is the same woman who threatens to sue anyone who dares to expose her scams.

According to her, she has a “legal team” on standby… except, apparently, when she’s in real criminal court.

Funny how her imaginary legal dream team is fully staffed when she’s bullying people online, but suddenly evaporates the moment she needs actual representation.

This is also the same person who refused to turn her camera on during her first appearance, claiming she needed her “tech team” to help her.

A tech team.

For Zoom.

Really?

Today she managed to flip her camera on — for about sixty seconds. A full minute of bravery.

But her hiding days are numbered.

Soon she’ll have to appear in person, in a real courtroom, with real people watching.

And you can bet the community will be packing those seats.

Front row. Popcorn ready.
