How do you keep count of your herd?

I do have a list of the ponies I have, but I don't know the number off the top of my head.  But I'm lazy... I reached that point at around 25 lol.

I know that I have somewhere between 400 and 500.  I have my collection spread between three different houses (my apartment, my parents' house and our cabin) so I haven't been able to get an updated count for a few years.

I realised going through my want list that I hadn't updated it for ages which led me to look and my inventory book for an updated list. I also decided to do a count and I have exactly 250 ponies plus all Megans and Molly.

I try to keep a tally but I'm bad at it, hahaha. I always forget to make sure to update it

I'm pretty meticulous about keeping track of my collection. In case something happens to me I want my family to know who is who and who is worth what so they don't just give away my ponies for nothing. I NEED to get them insured. Is it bad I'm more concerned about my collection if my house catches fire? Furniture can be replaced. Ponies not so much.

I don't count. At all. ^^* I have more than 20 and less than 1,000. Best I can say.

I have counted them, and I have a checklist that helps me remember what ponies I still need for each set, and gives me notes on the ones I already have. Notes like: "pony has rubbed symbol UPGRADE" or "hair cut" or any sort of imperfection so I know I am looking for a better version of that pony. I also sell my extras on Ebay and I have kept at least one picture of each pony adopted. They photograph so beautifully... I just can't hit delete! Am I crazy? I keep telling myself that I'm going to do somethong with all these pictures. It looks like MLP Wikki could use some more love/pics/attention... Maybe I can post some there? Idk. I basically count only originals and not the dupes, unless they are a variation like FF Blossom, CF Blossom, and MO Blossom. I haven't inventoried accessoepries AT ALL. Drowning in ponies... But i love it!
