Born December 7, 1970, Abdullah was purchased by Royalton residents Terry and Sue Williams in 1973. In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics with rider Conrad Homfeld, Abdullah won a gold medal in Team Show Jumping and a silver medal in Individual Show Jumping. In addition, he was the 1979-1986 and 1988-1989 ATA HOY Open Jumper Champion. He won First Place in the World Cup Final in Berlin in 1985, and won a team gold medal at the 1986 World Championships in Aachen, Germany. Abdullah died January 5, 2000 from colic but his progeny live on with 400 horses, seven of which were US Equestrian Federation Horses of the Year. Abdullah lived on the Williamsburg Farm on Chestnut Ridge Road for many years (Royalton).
