Difficult decisions, funding concerns lie ahead, official says

Nine of 39 horses once under the supervision of a now-defunct Phelan rescue have had to be euthanized so far, according to the executive director of the San Diego County group that’s taken over responsibility for the horses.
HiCaliber Horse Rescue Executive Director Michelle Cochran said Thursday that six of the horses were put down just recently. They were suffering from various ailments.
Cochran’s group stepped in and began incrementally transitioning 33 horses from Fallen Horses, Inc. to the HiCaliber facility in Valley Center on Feb. 14. The other half-dozen horses previously under Fallen Horses' control were in foster care and had to be tracked down to bring them to Valley Center, she said.
