I read more closely about this tax on WPCS page, seems it will be introduced in 2012...
I think they are making a mistake...and that both the owner and the yard owner if you rent have to pay, 2 payments for same pony!?!?? why?
And do they really think that people will report every pony they got if they have many? this tax will not work the way they hope...I think this will end in a overloaded market as many will sell before 2012 or during 2012, it can be hard today with increasing prices and this ads to the problem and saddly I think more horses will suffer. £10 may not seem much but if you have few it ads up...
I hope they do not get such "good"

ideas on this side of the water....
