I'm not sure how many people would like this or how hard the coding would be, but I was thinking it would be helpful if ponies that were not at full health were easier to find in the drop down for the magic fountain. Either have their health appear in color or in bold text, something along those lines.
Like: "Pony's name" (24/30)
Or: "Pony's name" (24/30)
Something to make it easier to find the ponies that are not at full health. As a player that likes to keep their herd at full health, I like to use my fountain for breeding and training. And when I do more than one breeding I have to surf the magic fountain a few times trying to notice the non 30/30 (and at first glance 20/30 is easily over looked) That or keep a list of the mares I just bred.

Totally agree. I'm busy trying to get all my ponies to 30/30 health and it's kinda annoying to have to go through and make sure that this pony needs healed or not. I don't think the coding would be too hard, but I'm not very computer smart, so... The bold text would be nice though.

Not a bad idea.
I keep the list... 2 actually, first list for couples to be bred that day and the second one for couples be bred tomorrow (so I'll be sure to feed and muck those mares). Then after the breedings are done, I go through the bred mares and write down how many health ponits she needs and then go search for them 1 by 1 on the magic fountain list. Red text for health under 27/30 would make it way faster to find the mares on the list of 550+ ponies, but then again I still would need my piece of paper list to know which pairs to breed what day so it would not eliminated the paper anyway.

I'm totally in on this one:)
I'll soon reach 100 ponies and it's increasingly difficult to find the ponies that need healing.

This is a great idea. I would love to see this implemented. After a while, the names all just seem to blend together.

That would be a good idea, and another good idea would be to bring the ponies that need healing to the top of the list

This is a Fabulous idea. One I fully support. It's a small and simple change that would make the world of difference.

I want to make my herd larger, but I like to keep my ponies at full health, it's hard to keep them at full health when searching thru that list everyday, i have to check and recheck... It gets old.

Good idea, I'd love to have this option.

I have quite a big herd, and checking for health is just not good for my eyes like this. x3
