Sad news as our industry has lost
yet another great horse.
According to Amy Gumz on Thursday, “Gumz
Farms would like send our sympathy to the Glover family. Last night, Invest N
Vital signs was found dead in his stall at Glover’s ranch in Oklahoma. The
cause is still unknown. Invest N Vital signs “MJ” was a welcomed addition our
farm and will be greatly missed. MJ was the son of the famous Vital Signs Are
Good. He was truly a star where ever he was; he won the Reichert Celebration,
multiple Congress titles, reserve world, and countless circuits.”
Kristen Galyean added, “Thanks
for everyone’s support, this is really hard and me and my family will miss him
so much. He was loved by everyone that came in contact with him, he was a very
special horse and will be remembered forever.”
The 2005 red roan stallion Invest N Vital Signs, owned by James and Debbie
Glover of Bixby, Oklahoma, is the highest all-time money-earning western
pleasure stallion, with $132,745 to date. Invest N Vital Signs by Vested
Pine was the second foal bred by the Glovers out of their legendary mare Vital
Signs Are Good.
In August 2007, “MJ” won the
Equine Sports Medicine $250,000 2-Year-Old Maiden Western Pleasure Challenge at
the Reichert Celebration. Following that win, the stallion won championships at
the National Snaffle Bit Association World Championship Show and the Congress.
At the 2007 World Show, Invest N Vital Signs won the reserve world championship
in 2-year-old western pleasure. The Glover’s daughter, Kristen (now Galyean),
showed his dam to the 2007 World Show all-around amateur title.
