Previewer menues are to cluttered

I try to use the previewer but with the long list of items it's more or less impossible to use.
I think it could be a good idea to split one drop down into three to make it easier to find what you want to look at.
At the moemnt I'm looking at saddle pads and that is definitly the worst, but also saddle and bridle are to cluttered.
My idea is to have two menues.
- First one is for the type of pad and colours
- Second one is for the gems.
A thired one could be good to if you want to split between western or english tack.
As it is now those drops downs are not possible to navigate so I guess I will end up with guessing the colour that fits the horse.
Are you on mobile?
I don't know if the dropdown list is the best option for the previewer, but it being in alphabetical order makes it easy for me to go through the whole list if I know what I'm looking for. It looks pretty normal on desktop, and just requires scrolling. Maybe being able to type in the box to get to a certain color (ex. type in teal and everything involving teal pops up) would be useful to avoid all the scrolling.
I think what would be more feasible would be a simple reordering of the lists so that the 'basic' level tack (black/brown saddles, bridles, basic colors then seasonal colors, etc etc) were automatically at the top. If I'm looking for say, Strawberries N Creme English Bridle, I don't feel like I should find 'Garnet Strawberries N Creme English Bridle' before I find the base bridle. It might be easier to code a little restructuring of the dropdown list over adding/sorting into multiple dropdowns.
I know I'm on desktop whenever I look through the Previewer and even I hate having to scroll through it all. It takes way too flipping long and I almost never use it because of how ridiculous to find something, especially if it as at the bottom of the list. So maybe, just being able to type something out or type into the box to make it easier would be more doable.
I could agree that just splitting it up between english and western would make a HUGE difference.
Although I don't want more drop downs, cutting down the forever-scroll would be seriously helpful.
Yeah its definitely a lot to scroll and will only get worse with more items added. I agree on the adding option to start typing what you are looking for
i like this idea, it's really hard for me to do some repetive motions like scrolling. having the gems as their own list would make it easier to compare different tack/gem color combos.
I'm on desktop and ofcourse the menu is useful when you know what you are looking for but if you don't know it's a mess. Yesterday i tried to find the perfect colour on the pad for one of my horses but it was so messy so I failed. In hte end I decided to stick with a booring blue or maybe black, because I know that those tends to look okay on every single horse.
Personally, I don't care much about tack or many items but I fully support for those struggling.
Again, I fully support.
I would relly prefer that tack was invisible. Who has their horse tacked up more than the short time they ride it?
Sadly I need to tack my horses for them to perform in comeptitions so I have to look at those, in my opinion, undesireable saddles that cover the artwork. If i need to use them at least I want the tack to look decent on the horse.
i think someone did suggest being able to hide tack some time ago! i do prefer some of my horses to not have any tack on and it's a bit unfortunate that they would have to compete at a disadvantage.
I mean you dont need tack. All my horses that arent tacked up do well in shows. Otherwise, its a picture of a horse, it doesnt have feelings about its pictures of tack
