Weber\u2019s team, which is made up of a combination of horses owned by Weber and by Jane Forbes Clark, drove to an impressive 4th overall position at the prestigious show. His team\u2019s ability to use different horses in different positions shows a great degree of depth, as he used only one horse each day from his original Aachen combination.<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"186.76000000000005\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"515.7800000000001\">\u201cI decided to use different horses in the lead and wheel positions in Beekbergen,\u201d said Weber. \u201cI think it was a risk, but my horses rose to the occasion.\u201d Weber used Ringo, owned by Clark, in the wheel position all three days, and Splash, also owned by Clark, took the lead during the dressage and the wheel during the marathon. Weber was pleased with Ringo and Splash\u2019s performance at the wheel during the marathon. \u201cThe combination of these two horses in the wheel position proved to be a boon to our team, and I think they will only continue to improve.\u201d<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"515.7800000000001\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"905.5799999999998\">Weber expressed that he was extremely pleased with the entire team throughout the event. Weber\u2019s consistent ability to rise up to every challenge did not go unnoticed in the marathon phase at Beekbergen giving competitors and spectators alike a look at what makes Weber one of the world\u2019s top contenders.<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"905.5799999999998\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"681.7200000000001\">Weber\u2019s now trademark win in the dressage phase was unchallenged even with the newly shuffled team. Weber won the dressage phase with a score of 44.16, that score combined with an 88.01 in the marathon, and a 3.00 in the cones put the team in the top 4 spot overall at Beekbergen. \u201cIt is evident that my horses are extremely versatile, and I am proud of our accomplishments at Beekbergen,\u201d said Weber. \u201cNow we will look towards the World Championships at Riesenbeck.\u201d<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"210.07999999999998\"><\/div>\n<div>For more information on Chester Weber and his team, visit www.chesterweber.com.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"872.1833333333332\">Photo: Chester Weber and his team in the marathon phase at the CAI Beekbergen.
