Ocala, FL (November 4, 2011) – The European equestrian website HorsUs has asked combined driver Chester Weber to join their panel of famous equestrians. Weber will take part in the website’s “Ask It” panel where he will answer questions sent it by fans of the website www.HorsUs.eu. As the eight-time USEF National Four-In-Hand Combined Driving Champion, Weber has a vast amount of experience he will be able to share on the website.
“I am looking forward to seeing the questions that I have to answer,” Weber said. “I know that each member of the panel answers five questions sent in by visitors to the website and I think this is a great way for riders and drivers to get help with specific challenges they may be facing with their own horses.” Australian Combined Driver Boyd Exell, a contemporary of Weber’s, is also part of the “Ask It” panel.
Weber, a highly competitive driver who is known for setting goals and accomplishing them, said he likes the idea of equine enthusiasts getting the chance to get assistance from professionals. “Thanks to websites like HorsUs, the public has access to the best competitors without the need for them to travel to clinics,” Weber said, adding that he enjoys sharing his experience and expertise with others. “I love the sport of combined driving and anytime I can help someone with a question, I am happy to do so. Our sport will only grow through education and I want to be part of that process.”
Considered one of the biggest promoters of combined driving within the industry, Weber describes combined driving as his passion. He recently traveled with his team to the Washington International Horse Show where he gave a combined driving demonstration to thousands of spectators. ”I love sharing my sport with others,” Weber said. “I especially love it when I get to introduce new people to the sport.”
Weber has had great success both nationally and internationally, bringing home numerous wins under the American flag. During the summer of 2011 Weber and his team took part in a European tour where Weber won the dressage phase and finished third individually at the prestigious CHIO Aachen. While in Europe Weber also won the CAI Vecses, CAI Altenfelden and the CAI Riesenbeck. Most recently, the decorated driver served as Chef d’Equipe to the Pony and Pony Pairs Teams at the 2011 World Pony Driving Championships in Lipica, Slovenia.
HRTV, The Network for Horse Sports, recognized Weber’s talent and contribution to the sport of combined driving and aired a show on Weber earlier this year called “Holding the Reins.” The show featured a 24-minute look at the exciting world of combined driving – which is considered one of the fastest growing sports in the industry – and detailed the story of how Weber grew up on a Thoroughbred racehorse farm to become one of our country’s leading drivers.
