Combined Driver Chester Weber Can Bring Commitment, Experience at Every Level of the Sport and a Global Perspective

17th April 2014

When it comes to an effective representative athlete voice to the FEI Driving Technical Committee, there is no more experienced, decorated, and well-rounded candidate than Chester Weber.  A 2-time Individual Silver and Team Bronze Four-in-Hand Championship Medalist and 11-time National Four-in-Hand champion, Weber is also a mentor, a United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) Board Member, Chair of the USEF Athletes Committee, a national senior ‘R’ judge, Live Oak International CAI/CSI-W 2* organizer, former Canadian Singles team coach, and current U.S. Single and Pair chef d’equipe.  Weber has also competed in singles and pairs, so he has a hands-on understanding of the needs and concerns of all the drivers and competitors in the sport.   He has all the assets necessary to champion the best interests of the international driving community when voting opens to FEI drivers, Tuesday, April 15, at www.fei.org.

An Equestrian of Honor and candidate for the USEF Pegasus Awards Equestrian of the Year title, Weber was awarded the 2013 Becky Grand Hart Trophy by the USEF in recognition of his dedication outside the arena to community service and improving the equestrian industry. That commitment has included his launching an annual apprenticeship program that takes a rising young star in combined driving and gives him or her the coaching, training and competitive experience necessary to become an international athlete. Chester Weber is not only a consummate horseman, he also possesses a practical knowledge of the business behind the sport from promotion to successfully attaracting and retaining sponsors.

A resident of Ocala, Florida in the United States, Weber competes for 5 or 6 months each year, so along with his full understanding of single, pairs, and four-in-hand driving, he also has a truly global perspective on the sport,
