On the first day of the league’s sixth competition, equestrian Abdullah AlRoudan was able to take first place, followed by the equestrians Abdullah AlAwadhi and Antonio Murruzzu in second and third places, respectively. On the second day, equestrian Bjorn Kuwertz won first place, followed by Annaz AlAnnaz in second and Antonio Murruzzu in third.
