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.WHEN Richard Meade, Britain's leading equestrian for more than 20 years, retired from competition in 1986, he considered he was due for a change of direction. 'I thought I would probably turn my hand to something else, something different,' he said.
Instead, he is more heavily involved with horses than ever. An international judge and course designer, he is a former president of the British Equestrian Federation, current chairman of the British Horse Foundation and will attend the World Equestrian Games in the Netherlands this week as representative for Northern Europe on the Bureau of the International Equestrian Federation. 'In the end I beame involved with so many things to do with horses that I decided to stick with what I knew,' he said.
Meade, Britain's most successful Olympic horseman, won a team gold for the three-day event in Mexico in 1968, team and individual golds in the same competition in Munich in 1972.
