The Rethink the Horse Tax campaign involved engaging Government on many levels including an initial response to the proposals, motivating grassroots opposition via an online petition, holding discussions with key civil servants, and liaising with policy makers across the political spectrum.

The horse tax proposals were scrapped in May 2010 – success! Further to this though, PLMR worked with the equine industry to make a significant contribution to the development of a new policy approach on this issue, with the recommendations of the Responsibility and Cost Sharing Advisory Group (published in December 2010) closely reflecting equine sector thinking.
