It is time for horse breeders, owners, riders, livery yard owners, riding school owners, instructors, trainers, producers ... anyone remotely involved with horses .... to say NO to DEFRA's plans to bring in a Horse Tax !!
The DEFRA officials detailed proposed levies for livestock, including horses and poultry, are simply ridiculous and it is said Defra is also liaising with insurance companies on an accompanying compulsory policy against exotic disease.
Ladies and Gents - it is time to say NO !!!
The volume of support has now reached a scale that forces DEFRA to acknowledge our position. I am currently finalizing a formal letter to the department heads to demand a meeting regarding these levies.

Another useless tax from people who clearly know nothing about keeping horses. Fix the potholes on our roads instead of bothering us.

No way. Not happening. If they go ahead with this a lot of owners will be forced to give up their horses and then what happens to the animals?

Totally unfair. We already pay for vets and feed and upkeep. Where is all this money actually going???

This is just another way to get money out of hard working people. Horses are expensive enough as it is. Leave us alone.
