Letter as sent by her,
Dear baby reindeer
"To whom it may concern As a lady who was concerned for the welfare of her horses last night due to 30 kids shouting , screaming , running, flags, tents , parents cars I would have thought more considerate if Tim had informed us of the proceedings so we could have least had our horses in last night . You might as well have had fireworks going off last night with the noise and activities flash was in serious distress galloping all over the field , eyes on sticks , snorting and very unsettled my own horse was unsettled too but she thankfully was at least in her stable . The welfare of my horses is of high priority and last night had me seriously concerned about their welfare and no one was the least bit interested or considerate about it . It would be a thought in the future that if Tim decides to do this again someone has the common courtesy to inform us do we can take steps to avoid what happened last night it took my son and I 40 minutes to calm flash down snd move him to a paddock where he couldn’t see what was going on and away from the loud screaming . Luckily apart from losing a stone in sweat and being unsettled he did not hurt himself but that was luck . Tim has every right to do what he likes in his field but some consideration and notice would have been a common courtesy which obviously eluded you all . No one was the least bit concerned for my situation at all including Tim . On another note the loaning is not a high way we tend the grass on our side but parents saw fit to drive straight across it and one parent even rolled down his window to tell me it wasn’t his problem again no consideration or courtesy he wouldn’t have liked me driving over his lawn . I am all for kids having fun but I suggest the next time Tim suggests this someone has the courtesy to inform us prior so I can make suitable arrangements as even our yard cat was in a state of panic ."

Ignoring is usually the best course of action. Or next time just let her know. Regardless if she's ignoring you.Dear baby reindeer

See the complaint letter. I have suggested the scouts do a fundraiser for some grammer lessons for her!
I wonder if they would do a discount if you bought two?
Your neighbour sounds like a pain in the posterior though, have you considered hammering frozen sausages into her horses?
It just makes it worse.
Ignore, or even better, wave and say hi / by every time you see her.
My neighbours are c***s of the highest order (on Sunday they came out swearing at parent dropping their son off at my house as they'd stopped across their drive - they weren't even going anywhere, and parents didn't even leave the car, just saying goodbye - maybe there 2 mins? Curtain twitching sadsacks were out immediately causing s**t).
Anyway, I'm really lovely too them.
Took a parcel in for them last week, popped round with it, handed over, asked if they were okay, lovely weather, confused the cow completely, just doesn't know what to do. I'm being utterly immature, but actually nice, it hurts them more than being nasty.

Sorry but based on the information you have given above, it looks like it is you who is being unreasonable
Re: shared access land, if she or the farmer don't put tracks in the grass maybe it would be courteous of you not to either.
If someone shouts at you and you decided to de-escalate and walk away, fine- but before shutting down all communication with a neighbour and putting your head in the sand, maybe you could have just popped a note through her letterbox inviting a civilised discussion when she's calmed down. If she still "actively ignores" you, fair enough.
Again as a courtesy you could have told her about your event. If you're not talking, a note would have been enough. Whenever we have a loud party planned we tell our neighbours.
Her letter is clearly written at the height of emotion as a stream of consciousness and clearly she was not fully stable (no pun intended) at the time of writing. No one would give a s
t about the name of her horse.
She may well be a fruitcake and fall out with everyone, but as a previous poster said, be the bigger person, check your own spelling and grammar and maybe remind yourself of the Scout laws:
A Scout is to be trusted.
A Scout is loyal.
A Scout is friendly and considerate.
A Scout belongs to the world-wide family of Scouts.
A Scout has courage in all difficulties.
A Scout makes good use of time and is careful of possessions and property.
A Scout has self-respect and respect for others.

As the OP deleted the initial message I can guess but informing neighbours ahead of a party occuring does a lot to defuse issues that can happen especially where animals are concerned.
As for trying to find ways of annoying them, this is just childish but goes both ways and never ends well. I can only assume you have escaped from an episode of Harry Enfield Presents...

To anyone suggesting causing intentional distress to animals give your heads a wobble.
Horses can be nervous and sadly could have been owned by dicks who mis treated. Livestock of any form should not be distressed for humans amusement or for the sake of annoyance to neighbours.
By the sounds of it you've had a noisey event with rude guests and are annoyed you've been called out on it.
Take some time to consider shoe on other foot, calm down,apologise and perhaps in future consider your neighbours both human and otherwise. After all, go down the other path and you'll need to declare a dispute when you sell
