Patience seems to have paid off. Koos has had Ultra since 2011 and we have had our eye on him, watching his results and progress, since day one.\u201d<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"893.3939999999997\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"905.5479999999999\">Beekbergen was Ultra\u2019s debut with Team Weber and the results speak for themselves: \u201cWe drove Ultra all three days in the left lead and were able to set a personal best score with Ultra in dressage along with Splash, and he did a magnificent job with Boy in the lead for Marathon and Cones. Boris was again in the left wheel both days and seems to improve with each event.\u201d<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"905.5479999999999\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"831.9460000000001\">The four-in-hand team of Boris, Ultra, Splash, and Senate delivered an 88.43 performance in Marathon to position Team Weber seventh, and rallied in Cones to fourth-place with a lean 6.46 points score. The team\u2019s final total of 127.86 points overall led Weber to third-place on the podium with Australian winner and driving heavyweight, Boyd Excell, and Ultra\u2019s owner, Koos de Ronde for The Netherlands.<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"831.9460000000001\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"579.1300000000001\">Follow Team Weber as their medals quest continues towards Normandy and the 2014 World Equestrian Games, at www.chesterweber.com and via their link to Facebook.<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"719.8149999999999\">Photo: Team Weber on the marathon couse at Beekbergen.
