STEPHANIE REDLICK APPEARS IN COURT

Redlick appeared defiant in the virtual Midland courtroom, claiming she was having technical issues. Repeatedly asked by Justice Angela McLeod to turn her video camera on for the court, Redlick said she was working on it and eventually complied about an hour later to address her matters.

Thank you to Corey Waren for the following – his thoughts on today’s court proceedings.  We will publish – shortly –  a transcript of  today’s proceedings – just cleaning up the typos.  

Meanwhile after you read Corey’s thoughts please scroll down for an update on Xena, a 2 year old horse relinquished by Redlick to a private home AFTER a foal in her care died and BEFORE Animal Welfare Services seized 16 of Redlick’s horses and pressed charges.

Stephanie Redlick – First Appearance – Criminal Charges
Midland, Ontario Court – via Zoom
July 24, 2025

Stephanie Redlick appeared via Zoom today in Midland Criminal Court for her first appearance in connection with several criminal charges related to livestock theft and forgery.

When initially called upon by the judge, Ms. Redlick expressed concern with appearing by video, claiming: “CTV News is stalking me” and then when the judge insisted that she appear on video her response was, “I’m having technical issues.” The judge instructed her to return to a virtual “breakout room” to resolve the issue.

When called upon a second time later in the morning she was once again returned to a break out room to resolve her issue.

Court resumed in the afternoon, and Ms. Redlick reappeared via video. She seemed cheerful and somewhat “bouncy,” participating from her car while wearing sunglasses.

Redlick stated, “My tech people have gotten my video working”.

When asked by the judge to remove her sunglasses, she claimed she had recently undergone eye surgery and needed them due to it being bright.

Ms. Redlick, represented by a Legal Aid attorney chose to waive the formal reading of the charges against her.

Her court appearance was brief, with no substantive matters addressed. The case was adjourned and is scheduled to return on August 21, 2025.

In my opinion, based on my observation and experience, her demeanour appeared uninterested, disrespectful, and overly casual given the serious nature of the charges. She displayed little awareness or concern about the legal situation she is facing.

2 YEAR OLD XENA NEEDS SURGERIES

2 YEAR OLD XENA NEEDS SURGERIES

by | Jul 19, 2025 | Above the Stars Equine Rescue, Horse Slaughter, REBEL NEWS PAGE, Stephanie Martin, Stephanie Redlick

4 HORSES WERE RELINQUISHED

BY REDLICK BEFORE 16 HORSES WERE SEIZED 

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.

XENA NEEDS YOUR HELP  

To those of you who raised your voices and demanded action—we can’t thank you enough.

Thanks in part to your advocacy, Animal Welfare Services did step in, and again charges against Stephanie Redlick have now been laid – she is also facing multiple criminal charges for fraud. [Details including CTV NEWS coverage here.]

But before the seizure, four other horses were quietly surrendered by Redlick to a compassionate local family.

Tragically, one of those four horses, Seattle Sunrise had to be euthanized—despite every effort, and significant expense, to save him.

Another, Xena, a gentle 2-year-old Percheron cross, urgently needed a specialist dental extraction, that cost over $3,000. [More about Xena’s story here.]

She also requires hernia repair surgery, and is currently undergoing follow up care from the first surgery.

Every dollar helps.

If you’re in a position to give, please consider donating today.

Together, we can keep showing up for horses like Xena.

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.

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’S NEGLECTED HORSES FINALLY SEIZED

AND CHARGES LAID

Already know all about how negligent Ontario Animal Welfare Services were in the Stephanie Redlick case and want to know what you can do to make a difference? Click here.

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.

FULL STORY | PICTURES | DOCUMENTATION

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.

Again, 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.

MARCH 1, 2024: MIDLAND TODAY

Monday, February 24, was a day of determination and purpose.

A passionate crowd gathered at Barrie City Hall, braving the cold to stand together for a cause that mattered. Advocates, activists and concerned citizens, bundled up against the weather, came with a shared goal—to push for stronger animal welfare laws.

Side by side, they called for faster response times from Animal Welfare Services (AWS), tougher penalties for repeat offenders and meaningful changes to prevent ongoing neglect and abuse.

On February 4, the OPP alerted AWS about the dire conditions of horses at an Oro-Medonte location. [READ FULL ARTICLE HERE]
