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.

With racing taking its traditional break in Britain and Ireland for Good Friday, two of the leading training centres -Lambourn and Middleham -throw open their gates to the public.

In Lambourn - where visitors are advised to arrive early to avoid traffic congestion - the main yards are open from 8.30am until 1pm, while the remaining stables open at 9.30am.

In the afternoon there will be various attractions on the downs including Tracey Bailey performing a bungee jump. Cost for the whole day is pounds 5 per person but is free for children under 12.

The same prices apply at Middleham, where all 15 yards are open from 9.30am to 1pm. Equine celebrities will include Desert Orchid, Hallo Dandy and the showjumper Milton.
