Agree, give them the notice. Be a good neighbor, maybe even invite them to sit a stand....but be prepared to fight ugliness with ugliness.

I would give them 48 hour notice in writing. That's an extra day to move the horses.
I would ask the local DNR to speak with them about impeding an active hunt, since they already have.
And the next time she says this..... “when you have land neighbors with horses you have to make alternate plans”. .......I would immediately tell her you have already alternated your plans,.....you don't visit and enjoy your property as much because the smell of horses and manure makes you feel sick.
I would communicate by text or email if possible, keeping in mind you may end up in court.

CatDaddy throwing some wisdom here.
The last thing this world needs is another damn horse.
So I guess the conclusion here is that horse ladies are the cyclists of the rural world
Don't forget about birdwatchers.
Remember when they thought the Ivory Billed woodpecker had been rediscovered in the White River refuge, which was bought and paid for by duck stamp money.
At the first meeting with the NWR managers, the bird watchers said they could find the Ivory Bill easier if they would stop all the shooting in there. They wanted the hunters kicked out.

I didn't know of that story but I'm not surprised. That's exactly why I do not agree with the, "make them pay as much as we do" argument hunters often scream with regards to horseback riders, birdwatchers, etc usage of public land.
The last thing we want is them having an equal seat at the table. Talk about letting the fox into the hen house.
I hunted next to a LARGE horse operation in GA for 20+ years and never had a minute of trouble with them. It was a fox hunting outfit and they openly ran horses and hounds by the hundreds across our property. As much as I don’t like horses, it’s the horse owners that are the problem. We had good owners so no problems. They had good neighbors (us) so no problems. Numerous times I would place a pre dawn phone call to let them know where on our property I saw a coyote so they could run it. And they started out always letting us know what dates they planned to be on or near the property we hunted, but we finally got them to understand that it wasn’t anything that bothered us and just do what you please.
I doubt I’ll meet a better individual than the man that runs that hunt and I’m 100% certain he and his predecessors are why we all got along so well. I still on occasion go down and have Thanksgiving dinner with them. Great people.
I’m sorry your horse person is an imbecile, but I wouldn’t change anything I do to appease her/him. I would get my local DNR LEO on speed dial and simply shoot him a text every time it tried to interrupt my peace with her drivel.
Duck Tape's hunt monday evening caused my Labs anxiety because they knew feathers were falling.
Only thing a horse is good for is converting cellulose into protein.
Worst mistake we've made as a country to to stop slaughtering those hay burners for food.
wonder what the thread looks like discussing this incident on schorses.com?
"Check your premise." Dr. Hugh Akston
I think its been said before, but I would send a text, not call them. Should things turn ugly, having that written proof you went out of your way to be courteous will be a big help.
Past that, follow safe/legal hunting practices and ignore them.
