This medal follows a team silver on Thursday, bringing the UAE's overall medal count to 12 – comprising seven golds, four silvers, and one bronze.\n\nAl Muhairi, riding Mentos, narrowly missed a medal, finishing fourth in Competition A. Omar Abdul Aziz Al Marzooqi and Enjoy de la Mure finished sixth, while Sheikh Latifah Bint Ahmed Al Maktoum and Cornet XL placed seventh in the new 1.55m Competition B. Abdullah expressed satisfaction with his silver medal, acknowledging the sport's unpredictability. He praised Hudson, his young teammate, for his growing experience and consistency, attributing their success to rigorous summer training and competitions.\n\nThe jump-off saw Qatar's Faleh Alajmi lead, followed by Abdullah, who entered the arena intending to secure gold but made a mistake, resulting in a bronze.

In Competition B, Al Marzooqi and Sheikha Latifah placed sixth, while Sheikh Latifah's Individual effort ended in seventh place, despite her team's silver medal win on Thursday.",
