Naturally, there would have to be some give-and-take to make such a system work. You wouldn't plan to ride your horse on the road during the morning or evening rush 'hour', so why would you plan to ride during a notified low flying period? Perhaps novice riding could be planned during non-low flying periods, with the more experienced riders, who are better able to control their mounts, riding at any time of the day.

I like the SMS idea, but I suspect the more techno-reliant you made the system, the more potential for screw-ups there would be.

I think a simple time separation system (as suggested by Pontius) to deconflict controllable low flying-aversed activity and military low flying would be the best solution. It would be easy to publicise (internet, press, local radio), simple to understand and easily remembered.
