There are numerous bridle paths around a landing pad at a private house I sometimes visit in an R22. Unfortunately most of them are below avenue-like canopies of trees, so you can't see horses (although also the horses can't see us).
Depending on the wind, it's not practical to land without going over them at about 50 - 100ft as there is only about a 90 degree approach arc completely avoiding them, and that points straight at a nearby house. The paths are mostly within 100 - 400 yards of the landing area.
Any helpful comments appreciated on how to manage this from those who have practical experience.... this must be a regular issue at unlicensed pads outside towns, and with the best will in the world you are not going to see a rider on approach to a pad if the bridle path is edged with trees.
