Plans for a "horse tax" were due to be mentioned in the Queen's Speech at the State Opening of Parliament today.
The government aims to publish a draft Animal Health Bill in January, outlining its plans for a new independent body for animal health in England.
The new body would be responsible for animal health but not welfare and a levy would be raised on each farm animal, and possibly horse, in the UK to help fund it.
There is a strong lobby against the plan from the horse industry which has launched a petition calling on the government to Rethink the Horse Tax.
