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.POLLY CLARK progressed from overnight fifth to win the Blenheim Horse and Hound International Horse Trials on Arthur Comyn's Westlord yesterday, after a blustery show jumping phase. She finished 1.2pts ahead of Beale Wright Morris, of the United States.
Competitors jumped in the reverse order of merit, with the wind gathering strength as the competition reached its climax. Pippa Funnell, the overnight leader on Rainbow Magic, and Andrew Nicholson, of New Zealand, who was lying second on King Leo, had the worst of the conditions while they were jumping. Both incurred 10 penalties for two fences down, which dropped them to fifth and seventh.
Third place went to Kristina Gifford and the big ex-show jumper, The Gangster II, whose only mistake yesterday came at the first fence.
