Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The amateur rider Sarah Lamb was taken to North Tees Hospital in Stockton with concussion and suspected internal injuries after taking a crashing fall from Forever Shy in the novices' chase at Sedgefield yesterday.

The incident happened at the first fence when Forever Shy, trained under permit by Kathleen Lamb, the injured rider's mother, fell heavily and brought down Rapid Fire, the mount of Eddie Callaghan, who was unscathed.

Miss Lamb was knocked unconscious in the fall, but had regained consciousness before she was taken to hospital.
