Once again proving himself worthy of his merited nickname \u201cMr. Dressage,\u201d Weber took the lead by winning the dressage phase, then maintained his team\u2019s strength throughout marathon and cones for a world-class finish.<\/p>\n<p>Weber drove unique combinations of his and Jane Clark\u2019s team of high performance bay KWPN geldings. Team Weber kicked off the dressage phase with Boris W, Splash, Para, and Uniek, who moved masterfully despite unpleasantly slick weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis team has been the backbone of our success for the past four years and is training in top form,\u201d said Weber after his dressage win. \u201cI am very happy to have this seasoned group back together. They really showcased their quality despite the deep footing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weber was especially proud of Uniek for his standout performance, as this was the horse\u2019s first event since competing in the CAIO 4* in Riesenbeck, Germany last August of 2015. Weber tactfully arranged the team by resting Splash and using new rising star Amadeus, who was previously owned and competed by Hungarian driver J\u00f3zsef Dobrovitz, for the marathon and cones phases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe highlight of the tournament was marathon, without a doubt,\u201d Weber recounted. \u201cWe will now continue to refine our skills as Aachen is quickly approaching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Team Weber and Clark will use this achievement as fuel heading into the CHIO 4* in Aachen, Germany July 11-17. After Aachen, Weber will continue on to the 2016 World Four-in-Hand Championships in Breda, the Netherlands later this summer.
