Next time she shows up. You need to be already naked and drinking a bottle of whiskey. Then look at her and say There are going to be alot of changes around here! She will get the message.
When she's there keep the clothes on. There's nothing wrong if when you get home and she's there you go upstairs and change into something else (like shorts, sweat pants, etc.). Not only out of respect should you wear clothing, but also for your legal safety. Should something go sour (such as you either firing her or deciding you no longer need her services) she could easily lie and say that you sexually assaulted her citing your nudity. Otherwise if you MUST continue and let her know, just bring it up casually. Example: By the way, when I come home I typically relax by walking around naked. Don't take this the wrong way; and please don't be offended by it.. More likely than not she'll be too uncomfortable to work for you anymore; just be prepared for it.
When she gets there answer the door naked. She'll catch on.
In my experience, when the humane society goes out, they give people a chance first. So likely they went out and told the owners they have a month or week, or whatever, to move the horse. A lot of times, they will say this and mention that they should not hear any more complaints. Especially in Tennessee, from what I have heard, the humane society is overworked with horses that are abandoned. Call the humane society again. Also call some animal rescues. If they have room for horses and call the humane society about those horses, the humane society may be more willing to take the horses away. Without anywhere to put the horses, the humane society may be reluctant to take them - it isn't right to take horses out of one bad situation just to put them in another. Also, verify your laws - in Maryland, the law is that so long as you have one acre you can have horses. It does not specify how many horses can be on that acre. So you can have 20 horses on that property and you are not breaking the law. If I ask my vet what he recommends, he will say you need one and a half acres per horse for proper grazing and running land. Also, that acre can include the house, barn, etc - that is not one acre of fenced property. The humane society has to go by the rules - the owner is not breaking the law as long as the animal has shelter, food and water. If the law does not state a certain acreage per horse, and the owners can show shelter, water and food for the horses, they are not breaking the law and the humane society cannot do much.
Just tell her and be prepared to adjust the cleaning schedule so you're not home when she's cleaning if she says she's uncomfortable with it.
