March 12, at the 26th annual Live Oak International. After a show-stopping performance in the dressage phase with an impressive 36.51 score, Weber forged ahead to win the marathon phase with a 112.96. Team Weber then rounded out the week with the cones phase to finish with a final score of 154.70.<\/p>\n

Weber was quick to credit his horses for the victory and thank his sponsors, and emphasized how pleased he is with the newest members of his and Jane Clark\u2019s hand-picked KWPN driving team. \u201cBastiaan and First Edition \u2018Edison\u2019 are fairly new additions to the team and they have clearly proved their merit. This is the first time we have had this group out together in competition. Finding that balance with utilizing the developing horses for competition and making sure we are as prepared as possible can be tricky, but I am pleased with the team\u2019s performance,\u201d Weber said.
\n\u201cI was happy with the dressage score in the mid-thirties, and the consistency in my team\u2019s dressage scores all season,\u201d Weber added. \u201cLast year, we did not have the consistency with the low to mid-thirty scores in dressage that the team is demonstrating this year. We are pleased to have hit our stride with the new horses.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Co-President of the Live Oak International competition, Weber commented on the challenges of juggling his responsibilities as a competitor with his responsibilities as the ringmaster of the largest combined driving and show jumping event in the United States. The competition, set amidst the picturesque rolling hills of the Weber family\u2019s country estate in Ocala, was once again an exciting event for top equestrians and spectators alike. This year\u2019s legendary competitor\u2019s party was circus-themed, raising the bar yet again for next year\u2019s Live Oak International weekend.
