Candy man back in show-ring
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.Carl Edwards and his Olympic mount, Bit More Candy, will be competing at the Millstreet World Cup Show in County Cork where the international contests begin today. Apart from a warm-up in a small class at Southview recently, the Irish show will be the mare's first outing since she flew back from Sydney.

Edwards and Bit More Candy ended this year's Samsung Nations Cup series as leading rider and horse, having jumped double clear rounds at Lisbon, Aachen and Gijon which were the only Nations Cups in which they participated.
Robert Smith, who totally dominated The Horse of the Year Show with his phenomenal seven victories at Wembley Arena, rides three horses - Senator Mr Springfield, Caloubet du Rouet and For The Best - at Millstreet Town's Green Glens Arena.
Smith expects to ride either the seven-year-old Mr Springfield or Caloubet du Rouet in tomorrow's World Cup qualifier, assuming that he is one of those who earn a place in this evening's pre-qualifier.
