We spoke with Summer Secord and her mother, Crystal Mitchell after Jim Horne reached out to them regarding a lack of care that resulted in the death of a foal and the poor condition of horses in the ‘care’ of Stephanie Redlick – along with a lack of water and feed – he had seen. [Read about Jim’s experience here.]
Stephanie Redlick relinquished 4 horses of 17 she owned and was holding on a leased property in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, Canada to Summer Secord and Crystal Mitchell. We are grateful that Summer, Crystal along with Celia Carletti have carefully documented what they witnessed at the property and the condition each of the horses were in when relinquished.
This situation highlights both the cruelty some humans are capable of and the compassion of those who choose to step up, take action and show kindness.
P.S. It’s important to note that 13 horses remain in the ‘care’ of Stephanie Redlick. Please scroll down for how you can help remedy this situation.
The following pictures are of one of four horses relinquished to Summer Secord and Crystal Mitchell by Stephanie Redlick.
Standardbred Pureform Olympia began her racing career in British Columbia and finished in Ontario. Records show she was run through the Olex Horse Sales Auction in April of 2024 after her 2024 foal died.
Sadly she ended up in the hands of Stephanie Redlick who had the following to say about her…
Pureform Olympia- 17 year old standardbred mare. DSLD, Will most likely need to be Euthanized i can’t bring myself to doing it… maybe not but I’m pretty sure we all agreed haven awaits her.
Pureform Olympia (standardbred / tattooed/ mare / 17 years old / issues with back legs/ DSLD/ had shoes on when relinquished but farrier says her feet haven’t been done in 8-9 months – her feet were of course after that long without care horribly overgrown).
NOTE: Most responsible horse owners have their horses trimmed or reshod every 4 to 6 weeks, and maybe in some cases go 8 weeks. Pureform Olympia’s feet were not trimmed or reshod in 8 to 9 months which is especially concerning as by Stephanie’s own admission Pureform Olympia is thought to have DSLD.
Studies show regular…
Therapeutic shoeing can help support the affected limbs of a horse with DSLD. It is “recommended to find a farrier experienced in trimming and shoeing DSLD horses.
Eggbar shoes or shoes with extended heels can provide fetlock support. When DSLD is diagnosed at an advanced stage, high wedge heels can offer relief. If the horse begins to feel better, the height of the wedge is gradually brought back to normal.
The recommendation is to consult with a farrier who has experience with DSLD.
Anecdotal reports suggest keeping your horse barefoot with correct trimming can be more effective for decreasing loading stress on compromised connective tissue.
Again, we ask does this look like a horse who has been well cared for?
Keep in mind there are still 13 horses in the ‘care’ of Stephanie Redlick.
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.

Additionally Stephanie Redlick is now facing criminal charges in unrelated theft and fraud cases. However she is still pretending to be a rescue under the name of Stephanie Martin and Above the Stars Equine Rescue.
These pictures are of one of four horses relinquished to Summer Secord and Crystal Mitchell by Stephanie Redlick. Those are feces caked on her sides and belly. Please note the overgrown hooves and hernia.
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.

Do the horses in the following video (and pictures) look like healthy horses who are receiving quality care?
Even the blankets on the horses can’t hide how thin they are or the sores.
Thank you to Summer Secord, Crystal Mitchell and Celia Carletti for taking this undercover footage.

Again, we say, you be the judge. Does this look like a healthy horse who is receiving quality care? Please note the water buckets are blocks of ice, the “bedding” is a foot or more of manure, this poor mare is skin and bones and has sores. AND yes, she along with 12 others remains in the “care” of Stephanie Redlick who was not willing to relinquish her. (Stephanie reportedly stated she was going to get $13,000 for her.)

Solstice Pecile of Wishing Stone Farm inexplicably posted horrendous videos of her dragging a horse and later laughing at the horse’s injuries.
The video above is hard to watch BUT if everyone turns away – then who is to speak for those who can’t speak for themselves?
Thank you to those who spotted the following video on social media and who took the time to step forward and report the video to the proper authorities.
In Ontario, Canada here’s where to report a suspected abuse of animals. https://www.ontario.ca/page/animal-welfare

CTV TORONTO: (November 28, 2022) Ontario woman, 23, charged after graphic video emerges of horse being dragged. [read article here]
Excerpts from an article in September 2023 in the Peterborough Examiner…
Pecile, who was not in court, was fined $2,500 and put on probation under the Provincial Animal Welfare Act.
She is not allowed to have custody, care or control of any horse, either directly or indirectly throughout the province of Ontario for a five-year period. She is also not to participate in any venture, operation or business of any kind in the breeding, sale, brokering, rescue, fostering, grooming, boarding, or involving import or export of any horses to or from Ontario.
According to Pecile’s counsel, she has received death threats and was forced to flee Ontario for her safety, and she has lost her means of employment.
Pecile’s counsel didn’t offer an apology on behalf of his client.
It’s important to note that the bans placed on Ms. Pecile only apply within the province of Ontario – or to the export of horses to Ontario.
It’s been rumoured that she is currently in Alberta where she would unfortunately be free to continue owning and training horses.
