Lähden, Germany (June 26, 2012) – American Combined Driver Chester Weber kicked off his summer European tour in style, proving that he truly is “Mr. Dressage” and that Team Weber-Clark has the ability to take Europe by storm. Weber, the nine-time USEF National Four-In-Hand Champion, competed at CAI Lähden in Germany where he set the dressage ring on fire with a score of 36.35 to ultimately drive away in second place for the entire competition.

Weber was thrilled with his team’s performance, a team comprised of horses owned by Weber and Jane Forbes Clark. “Our dressage team showed us they have the capability of setting a new world record,” Weber said. During Weber’s 2011 European tour, the foreign press dubbed Weber the Dressage Master and the “one to beat” in the dressage ring and the nickname “Mr. Dressage” was born.

“During the Lähden CAI my team went very well and I am pleased at how they are shaping up for the coming events in Aachen and Riesenbeck. It is humbling to work with our team, they truly are a great group,” Weber said. “While we had a fantastic and winning dressage score, the highlight of the competition was our marathon. The horses worked like a train, it was thrilling.”
