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.

Equestrianism

The dual Olympic champion Mark Todd won a competitive advanced class (section 1) at the Land Rover British Horse Trials at Gatcombe Park yesterday, writes Mary Gordon Watson. Riding Lady Bamford's Vanbicharboniere, a much- improved horse, Todd was equal fourth after the dressage phase, incurred one time fault in the showjumping, and added just 16 time faults on the cross country, setting the fastest time. This clinched a narrow victory over the Suffolk-based Australian Brook Staples. The dressage leader, William Fox-Pitt, went fast and well on Tawny Owl to finish a close-up third.
