I joined too late to know most of those dwarves, so my choices for "Who is famous ON THE FORUM" would be a little different.
Kody, well, I think at this point he's thoroughly infamous as people now recognize him at shows just from having seen him on here or from seeing him in various harness catalogues. But since he's mine, he's not one of my picks!
Of course there's Shari's Maggie, that little bay mare Semi, MiniV's Gabriel (I missed his story but caught up on it later), Charlene's Red, JJay's Platinum, Soggy Bottom Ranch's appaloosa, and so many others that seem like dear friends from reading about them here. I agree that Susanne's Mingus is definitely one of the major characters. So are Liz's Mouse and Pyro, although perhaps I know the lil' redhead more from emails and personal experience than from the actual forum. There's Frankie's Printz, Marty's Sonny and herd, Rabbitfizz's old stallion, Chamomile's mare of the same name, New Image's Molly and Image, Barnbum's fillies, Karen's Appy, MyLilShowGirl's former horses Ghost and Magic Man's Challenger, BWMinis' Sid and so many others!
My runner's up for the Hall of Fame would be Printz (for her battle to survive and her Princess complex afterwards), Mingus, Mouse, Tiny Tim (aka Fetus not so long ago), Image (for watching him grow up) and Minihgal's Tanglewood's Sweet Fascination, because she and her driver inspired me to get involved in CDE.
My winners, primarily because no one else has mentioned them yet, would be Loren&Rocky's Rocky and Slick (yes, they are such a linked pair that I count them as one entry) and Devon's Wee Man.
All of these horses we have come to know, not for their show records, but for their owners' devotion to them and for their unique personalities and the way they have touched our lives. You all deserve to be in the Lil' Beginnings Hall of Fame!
