How do you keep track of your ponies?

[Sunset]

So it has been a very long time since I've taken inventory of all of my ponies.  I use to keep track of them in a notebook but that was way back during early G3 or maybe even before.  I'd like to have a database but I"m not all that familiar with making databases.  I've also heard that there are some websites that are set up for this purpose?

How do you keep track of your collection?

Horribly.

Glad I was not drinking anything or my keyboard would be wet.

We have all of Summer Hays books and try to mark the collection off that way.  Sadly we are behind on it and I now have 3 MIB G3 to sell due to not staying up on it.  I see Thoth and I have a project to do one of these days.

I am a super anal-retentive Virgo so I have word documents for each generation, separated into categories, with a wishlist at the bottom, or a list of ponies that need restoration work. It's especially helpful right now, since everyone is packed into storage bins while my house is for sale and I can't easily find one particular pony.

Spreadsheets on Google Doc.

I take a photo of every pony I get and put them on my computer, my website and on ponydex.

I have such a small collection ( under 200 ponies) that I can keep track easily, however I also recommend a spreadsheet system. I'm actually going to done of those to keep track of my accessories

Can you come over for a few days and hang out with us?

Ponydex Love that search function. At one point (when my collection was small) I just marked off things in my collectors book but that's not really practical anymore Also with the ponydex I have access to it as long as I've got my smart phone so I never need to worry about getting doubles/leaving behind somepony I need even with garage sale finds!

Possibly, but if you really do live in a wine cellar that might derail my organizational capabilities a little a lot.

ponyRN: I'm a virgo too and I'm also very organized, at least when it comes to my ponies.

I use the Ponydex and I keep a picture of every pony on my 'puter. I'm sure a Google Doc or an Excel spreadsheet should work just as fine.

I printed off strawberry reef's pages of G3s and highlight the ones I have.

I keep spreadsheets by generation in Microsoft Office Excel. Anytime I get new ponies I input their data. Mine are sorted alphabetically by name, but you can input them in any order you like.
