Horsch \u2013 the dressage phase of the four-in-hand combined driving at CHIO Aachen in Germany. Driving his team to a personal international record score of 31.2, Weber dominated this\u00a0 world-class field and beat out current World Champion, Boyd Exell for the win. \u201cThe team was fabulous to drive,\u201d Weber described about taking the early lead in Aachen, \u201cand it is humbling to sit behind them as they are like poetry in motion.\u201d<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"904.8240000000002\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"226.78000000000006\">Following this record score in the individual dressage, Weber also won the Team dressage Pries der Montello Immobilenmanagement GMbH &amp; Co. with a 38.21 on Thursday, putting Team USA in second place overall behind the Dutch.<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"226.78000000000006\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"584.7199999999997\">Weber\u2019s winning team is made up of his own Para and Senate, as well as Splash and Uniek, owned by Jane Clark. Together, these four horses showed their amazing power, grace and synergy to easily take two dominate the first two phases. Proudly representing the US, Weber now leads the individual competition in Aachen. \u201cI truly believe they are the best dressage team in the world,\u201d Weber added about the horses with a chuckle, \u201cbut I guess I am partial to them.\u201d<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"584.7199999999997\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"543.556\">This early victory will help drive momentum as Weber continues with the marathon and cones phases of the prestigious Aachen competition. As one of America\u2019s most driven and decorated competitors, Weber continues to be a driving force behind American four-in-hand combined driving, and promotes the sport wherever he goes by bringing in the ribbons.<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"543.556\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"543.556\">For more information on Weber and his combined driving team, visit their website at www.chesterweber.com.<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"899.9983333333333\">Photo: Chester Weber and his team during the dressage phase of the CHIO Aachen.
