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 latest attempt to revamp the Horse of the Year Show, which runs from 24 to 28 September at Wembley Arena, will be the responsibility of EPS Events Ltd. The appointment of the company, which has four years experience of staging events at Wembley, was announced yesterday by Wembley Stadium Ltd.

Andrew Bozdan, a director of EPS and a committed horse enthusiast, will be the new event director. He is planning to bring "a new vision and approach to the show, with the overriding aim of making it commercially viable''.

The future of Britain's premier showground at Hickstead now appears to be in the hands of the minister with responsibility for sport, Iain Sproat, with whom urgent talks have been taking place following the loss of Silk Cut's sponsorship of the Derby meeting.
