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 PROFESSIONAL Event Riders Association (Pera) has joined forces with Credit Suisse Private Banking to produce rider performance data for its own world-wide website (www.peraworld.net) which will be fully operational from 1 December.
The data, which covers all international three-day events from three- star upwards, covers five categories - dressage, show jumping and three cross-country sections: jumping, time and overall performance.
Taken over a period of 24 months, the first performance tables show Andrew Hoy as leading rider in both dressage and show jumping. The Australian, however, participated in far fewer events than some of his opponents. The dressage table, for instance, shows Hoy achieving the best average score after seven events, with Pippa Funnell in second place after 16 contests. Mark Todd is seventh after riding in a phenomenal 27 events at top level.
