“I honestly believe ring stewards are the silent heroes who keep our horse industry alive,” David said. “These are the folks who make sure the horse show happens: they see to the important behind-the-scenes issues and ensure horse shows run smoothly for exhibitors, and they keep the show moving and take care of judges so that we can focus on our job of judging the horse show.”

Vital Signs Are Good was a champion and a producer of champions. The 2000 red roan mare was by Zippos Mr Good Bar and out of Vitalism by An Awesome Mister. She was bred by Kristin T. Rinkenberger of Morton, Illinois, and was last owned by Joe and Karen Moran of Laguna Hills, California. She won the AQHA 2-year-old western pleasure world championship in 2002 and continued winning. She earned 13 world championships, eight reserve world championships and eight Superiors. She earned $288,581 before becoming a broodmare.
