Altenfelden, Germany (June 28, 2012) – Combined Driver Chester Weber, the nine-time USEF National Four-In-Hand Champion, showed off his outstanding dressage abilities during the 2012 Altenfelden International Driving Event, handily driving away with the top four-in-hand dressage score. Weber’s dressage score was a 36.86, a huge lead over the second place of 50.82 and the third place score of 53.25.

“My team has really shown a remarkable improvement in dressage and it is thrilling that we continue to drive away with the best scores,” Weber said, adding that Europe is highly competitive. Team Weber, comprised of horses owned by Weber and Jane Forbes Clark, is currently on a summer European tour with their sights set on the World Championships in Riesenbeck at the end of the summer. “During the dressage at Altenfelden we competed Boris W, Ringo, Splash and Uniek.”

During Altenfelden, Team Weber also put in a winning cones test. Following the team’s winning dressage score, they kicked off the marathon with a second place ranking after the first obstacle. The second obstacle proved to be the challenge, however, when the carriage bumped a wide-based tree and turned over, causing Team Weber to incur 60 penalty points and put them out of the running for a win at Altenfelden.
