How do you keep count of your herd?

[EnaRocketQueen]

As I only have 10 ponies, it's quite easy for me at the moment! I can see my herd growing rapidly though, so it might get a bit more complicated in the future...

More than 40  and less than 80?  That's my guess.  I know who I have and that's about it.

I take pics of every single pony that comes to join the herd
I do end up upgrading and selling them sometimes ,so is hard to keep up
but last time I counted I was going at 1100 , counting every single pony  of every size,type .
so I would say I have double of that , and some G2 armies keep growing so.......yep
also I add most of the g4s double, 1 to keep mib and 1 loose of most of the releases
so I have added a lot since the last count . but who is counting ????
not me for sure

I sorted started keeping count and using the collector's book as a check list but at the same time I haven't always kept up. I have a rough idea of who I don't have and who should be upgraded lol. But I never say no to ponies given even if its a double. Thats for the G1s. As for G2-G4 no idea of who/what  I have most of the time. LOL!!!!

Ahaha, keep track?  I try to keep track of my Blue Belles, I at least count them once in a while when I clean them, but I have a hard time even with them, let alone my 'for sale' ones!  There are *tons* of mostly bait ponies in my shed, so many that I may actually set up a booth at the flea market to try to sell them, because they really aren't worth the work to clean up.

I used to keep track, now I dont know anymore. 

[Broken Irishwoman]

I had a list once, but it became pretty worthless when I didn't remember anymore if I counted the doubles or not. I'm guessing that I have around 200?

[Jorgito93]

I count mine every now and then, i don't know the precise number but i know i have around 140 ponies.But i remember who i have without any problems.

  my Arena wishlist is important otherwise I'd have no idea who I need to get. I have a list of my head Canon but not individual items. I have not been too scientific about it.

[invaderhorizongreen]

For me I use guide books, and check ponies off as they show up/ come in. That way I know who I have, and I update the want lists to keep track as well.

I forgot to mention before that in addition to my google doc I use the mlpmerch checklist http://data.mlpmerch.com/checklist/70/
It's not really as accurate as my personal list though because I have a couple hybrids and only have a few accessories, etc.

I don't keep count religiously, but I do know who I do and don't have. I'll do a head count every so often when I get curious.

I voted "I know the exact number of ponies in my herd". But, if I'm being honest my excel file isn't up to date. But I know which ponies need to be added.

[scarlettkitty81]

I keep track but I have to update my lists and haven't done so in a few months now.

[sparkykandy]

I'm one of the rare people out there that has less than ten ponies in my herd, so it's easy for me to know which ponies I have and which ones I don't have.
