The challenge
San Juan Capistrano’s rolling hills and open space put coyotes right at the doorstep of the equestrian centers that call this area home. For a boarding and riding facility, coyotes are a direct danger: they stress and spook horses, threaten smaller animals and pets, and put riders and staff on edge. A San Juan Capistrano equestrian center needed real coyote protection, not just a one-time removal.
Why equestrian facilities need a specialist
A stable full of valuable horses in coyote country is a high-stakes environment. Coyotes are drawn by the animals, feed, and cover, and they keep coming from the surrounding hills — so protection has to be ongoing, done safely around live horses.

What we did
- Humane coyote trapping & removal — safely removed coyotes using proper, regulation-compliant methods.
- Protection & prevention — put protective measures in place to keep coyotes away from the horses and work areas.
- Repellents — applied repellent measures to discourage coyotes from returning.
- Safe, facility-aware service — worked calmly and carefully around the horses and daily routine.
The result
The center’s coyote threat was brought under control and the property protected — keeping the horses calm and safe, and giving riders and staff peace of mind on the grounds.
