Maybe I missed something here, but she isn't playing it for the public. People don't walk in off the street to pet the horses and get background music. Coffee shops and such are playing music to a a public - their customers.
If this women is playing to horses (not likely considered general public) and those in her employ listen as well, that should still be counted as private play right? It's not the same as giving paying customers background music, is it? I don't see how playing this music is NOT private (i.e. playing music over dinner in your own home)....
Unless PRS says I have to play royalties every time I play the radio when serving dinner to guests...
