The aptly-named Gifted was purchased by Carol Lavell as an untrained four-year-old.  She obviously had a good eye, as under her tutelage, he quickly rose through the levels in the dressage world.  The huge, 17.1- (some say 17.3-) hand bay Hanoverian with the high socks and blaze was foaled in 1980, and by 1988 was named US Dressage Federation Horse of the Year for Fourth Level and Grand Prix St. Georges levels.  With the United States in a twelve-year dry spell for international Dressage medals, it is said that Gifted put the US back on the radar, helping bring home Team Bronze twice.  He remained Carol's companion his entire life.
