Not in any way to diss on all the hard work Ammit has put into this! But it would be absolutely lovely to have a way to sort in order of age in the basic sort. I know we can select one year at a time (if, say, I want to compare the all time points of all my 2 yo), but I would love to sort by age and some other criteria and keep scrolling. Oh, and a way to search for PATN1, too :x
I think an ease-of-use feature that would be nice would be the ability to hit a little checkbox that changed all the kit or ice genes to "must not have" - searching for hom of one of those can take some time!

Anyone else have wishes about the horse search? I know we had another thread like this several months ago but I think it got buried, and it would be interesting to see if your wishes have changed since then if you've posted before!

Also, to keep this post a bit more on the positive side, if you have any, you can also include tips for other members on how to make the search run a bit more smoothly! Any tips or tricks you've figured out?

So, a tip that I was told is how to exclude pastures from your horse search! I tend to find out which mares still need to be bred that season by using the horse search and, of course, sometimes my pasture mares will come up. Just leave the text bar blank and click the "NL" option at the bottom of it. This will exclude all pasture horses from your search.

I do agree on the searching by PATN1. I love me a good appy, and if I buy a foundation with it it has to have PATN1.

Along those same lines, but within pastures, I wish they could be listed like they are in the Barns with like boxes to mass move instead of moving 1 horse at a time from the control panel...

@ObsidianKitsune, I am not sure I understand your search tip... where do you put NL?

ObsidianKitsune · Jan 5, 2019 3:42 AM

You don't put the NL anywhere. At the bottom of the search bar, there are some options. The option clicked by default is "L". Next to it is NL, and on the edge is "Any".

Also levesel, have you scrolled down to the bottom of the pasture pages? There should be two boxes with scroll bars, one with stallions, one with mares. Click and drag to move multiple horses to that pasture. If the horse is in another pasture, the name will appear like this: "--HorseyHorseHorse--"

ObsidianKitsune · Jan 5, 2019 3:45 AM

Some screen shots to show what I'm talking about. You can see that the pasture ID section has "L" selected. You just need to click the NL one.

And for the moving multiple horses into pasture

ObsidianKitsune · Jan 5, 2019 3:47 AM

Oh! You should also have the option to move horses from the barns, en masse, into a pasture as well. Some click method, but the bar to select your pastures is right next to the barns one.

I would really love to search for PATN1 as well. Also maybe a box to check that says "owned by me" or something to that effect so you don't have to type in your ID number for owner every time. That would be especially helpful to newer members who haven't memorised their ID yet.

BlaxkDiamond · Jan 5, 2019 5:42 AM

I think it would be cool to be able to put in the extra paper level you are looking for. For example I always seem to be looking for A or B stallions, so I have to scroll through all the star stallions before I get to the A’s.

RoseFlute · Jan 5, 2019 6:01 AM

Currently the horse search sorts by ID number, which can correlate to age if the horses are lined. Foundation horses are another thing, though, so I can see some frustration. At least there's only a range of four years?

@Levesel2 You can move more than one pasture horse at a time if you hold control to select different horses or by clicking one name and holding shift and clicking to select all names between two names on the list. :) If you're on mobile, you can't tell which horses have been bred already (by the greyed out names on the PC version), but they will be box selections. :D
Fun fact, you can also move horses between barns and pastures from the control tab on their page. Typing that out I think I might have mistaken your problem. :P

horsey2 · Jan 5, 2019 7:15 AM

I would love to be able to see all the straws from the stallions I have in my freezer in the search

levesel2 · Jan 5, 2019 10:42 AM

I see what you are saying now with the search @ObsidianKitsune...

*facepalm* I knew you could use that add horses to a pasture, never realized it could mass move between pastures too :\">

SquishLime · Jan 5, 2019 11:36 AM

I wish there was an option to unselect all closed genes or all fantasy genes, especially when looking through horses in auction or that people are selling. It would be much too time consuming to select “must not have” for every gene I don’t own, when it could automatically exclude the ones that contain closed genes or fantasy genes. Scrolling through pages of horses you can’t even bid on does get frustrating.

Question- why is PATN1 important? What difference does it make to foundations specifically?

Lallyhop · Jan 5, 2019 4:41 PM

@SquishLime A tip - while it will exclude nexus and open ices and won't exclude mushroom, chin, or macchiato, you can select "not like" breeder club fantasy, and that will help a bit.

And some people prefer PATN1 and others don't, that's all. It's a gene that makes appy spotting cover more of the horse - and the only testable gene that's not searchable.

ObsidianKitsune · Jan 5, 2019 6:13 PM

I like het appy hom PATN1 because it creates leopard appys!

But that's basically it lol. As Lallyhop says, it's just preference.

SquishLime · Jan 6, 2019 5:07 AM

Thank you Lally that will be a big help! Would still have to manually exclude mushroom, splash M and chinchilla but it’s a start.
Ah okay I thought it had something to do with whether the horse varnishes or not. It’s disappointing when the appaloosas lose their cool colours. I see some people advertising their “non-varnishing” studs but can’t see anything different in their genes to explain that.

ObsidianKitsune · Jan 6, 2019 5:35 AM

the varnishing would be a hidden gene, like dp and such. However you could tell at an early age if your horse has is a non or even late varnisher. Just watch out for the coat freckles!

Lallyhop · Jan 6, 2019 5:17 PM

Yep! And it looks by the genes sales that since snowflake is a variant of varnish, they sit on the same gene location, too. You can actually selectively breed for non-varnishing if you compare how varnished they are by the age of 4 or 5, then breed the ones with the least varnish to each other, and repeat. It seems that no varnish gene leads to minimal varnish, het for the varnish gene leads to medium varnish, and hom leads to heavy varnish.

There might, of course, be other factors or even a second set of genes, but by breeding the least varnished ones to each other you can make them varnish as late in life as possible.
