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.

William Funnell jumped two clear rounds on Comex to give Britain a convincing win in the Nations Cup at the Pavarotti Horse Show in Modena, Italy. The team won by 15.75 faults without the need for Tim Stockdale, who was last to go, needing to complete either of his rounds on Toggi Santa's Echo. Funnell also jumped two clear rounds with Comex on Friday, when he was runner-up in the Grand Prix.

PAVAROTTI HORSE SHOW (Modena, Italy): Nations Cup: 1 Great Britain 12.5 faults; 2 Switzerland 28.25; 3 France 36.25; 4 Ireland 36.5; 5 Spain 37.75. GB scores: Comex (W Funnell) clear, clear; Abbervail Dream (D Lampard) 0.5 fault, 4 faults; Tiptoe (J Fisher) 4, 4; Toggi Santa's Echo (T Stockdale) retired in both rounds.
