Eventing: Tait plays to the gallery
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.Blyth Tait proved he had lost none of his flair when holding on to his lead on cross-country day in front of more than 30,000 spectators at the Toyota Bramham International Three Day Event, writes Mary Gordon Watson. The New Zealander is preparing to defend his world championship title at the Hague in August and the bold nine-year-old Aspyring looks a useful addition to his potential rides there. 'He's very strong and enthusiastic, almost too confident, but stupidly so,' Tait said. He has a decisive advantage over Jean-Marc Favereau on Rancho. Ian Stark, on Kilcoran, and Charlotte Bathe, on Madame Butterfly, stand third and sixth.
