Olympic Showjumper Abdullah


Gabriella's damsire is the famous grey Trakenher stallion, Abdullah. Recently honored as one of the top 50 Horses of the Century by the Chronicle of the Horse and inducted into the Showjumpers Hall of Fame, Abdullah is best remembered for his brilliant clear round in the 1984 Olympics--clinching the gold medal for the US Team. He and his rider, Conrad Homefield, went on to win an individual silver medal in the Games. Other international career highlights include the 1985 World Cup Showjumping Winner and 1986 World Team gold and individual silver medals.
