Formed in 2009, Go Go Gatsby Designs, LLC strives to create the best browser based games on the net. Horse Eden Eventing is our first release. It emerged from alpha test in August 2009 and has been well embraced by the public. The game itself is a work in progress and is frequently updated with new additions to improve game play.

I've been a professional programmer for many years in a corporate environment. On top of my love for programming and SIM games, I'm also an avid NFL fan (Cleveland Browns), horse fanatic, biology and medicine geek, and music nut. I owned a Trakehner gelding named Gatsby for several years and we trained and showed in Dressage and Hunter/Jumper. I ran a couple alternative rock and punk internet radio stations for several years. Music is the life force that drives me. I also spent time DJing on my stations. My programming skill set includes:

Unix scripting, Awk, C, C++, Java, Service Oriented Architecture, Web Services, Tuxedo, HTML, XML, CSS, Perl, PHP, SQL, Oracle, Sybase, DB2, MySQL, Web Development (LAMP), AJAX, Javascript, jQuery, Tibco products, Rational products, Mercury products. Informatica, Object Oriented Design, Coding, and Modeling.

I am your local avian, raptor dinosaur, and equine fanatic. I am working on my degree in biochemistry in order to pursue a PhD in molecular biosciences with a focus in genetics. I am unsure as to what my specialty will be, but viral and evolutionary genetics are both very fascinating subjects for me. I am pretty sure I live off of academia! In fact, I tend to be happiest when in classes (or with my horse).

I ride and own an off the track thoroughbred bay gelding named Tomcat (AKA Tommy). He is the love of my life, and the goal is to train him for dressage and probably eventually 3-day. I also have two cats (Kirby and Tails) and two gerbils (Puck and Katara).

As the names of my animals may have clued readers in, I love video games and anime as well as SIM games. Due to my tight schedule with balancing full time work and classes, I have to limit my entertainment time, but I am still always willing to help with HEE or genetics questions!

I also love music, and I have a very wide range of tastes in music. From pop to punk, from alternative to classical, from celtic to video game music. I can usually be found with earphones in my ears, including when I am studying!

I have been around horses all my life. I started riding when I was 18 months old (thanks to my aunt) and haven't quit yet. Though I went to school to get my Equine Technology degree, I actually work full time as a paralegal, wife and mother of a beautiful son. I have trained numerous horses from halter breaking, foal imprinting all the way up to kid broke. Though now that I'm a mother, there will only be ground work training for me from now on. I actually love doing ground work with horses. I spent the last few years playing various sim games until Horse Eden Eventing was opened. My favorite breed of horse is the smooth Paso Fino. I have been a member of the Paso Fino Horse Association for the past 5 years, even though I've never owned one, and do various volunteer work for the Virginia Region of PFHA as well as run a website dedicated to the rescue of Paso Finos.

Unfortunately for me, I do not own any horses right now, selling my last mare when my son was born. I do own a mutt named Jebus though!

Paso Fino Rescue

My love of horses began when I was still young, pretty much since I knew what a horse was. Luckily my Mom had owned and showed her own horse when she was in her 20's so I didn't have to beg too much for horsie things. My sister and I got our own pony when we were 15 and I have had a horse every since.

My current horse is a Grullo, QH mare named Ginger. She is a bit lazy and can be a brat, but loves attention and people. I raised her from a foal so we have a great bond. I don't show, but do enjoy trail riding whenever I can. I also have a couple fish tanks, a few rabbits, and two dogs named Kuma and Zoe.

I started simming back in the late 90's. I began with traditional horse sims and after starting college began playing automated sims since they took up less time. I have been playing Horse Eden since Alpha and have loved every minute of it!

I also love to read. Classics, Mysteries, Fantasies, and Sci-Fi are all fair game. It's rare that I am not reading or rereading a book. I am a total Whovian and enjoy a smattering of other British shows that shown here in the US.

I have been around horses most of my life. I was a hunter/jumper who practiced regularly until I departed for the military. I spent 8 years in the US Air Force as a Nuclear weapons Technician after a 4 year stint as a paramedic in the south suburbs of Chicago. Currently I am finishing my Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology. I have been married to another mod (Harlequin Raven) for 9 years.

I have been riding since I was a young teenager. I owned an Appendix Quarterhorse and a Percheron/Rhinelander/Thoroughbred cross who was 18.1hh. After they passed I left for the Air Force and stopped riding for a few years due to lack of horses and shoulder and knee injuries due to a riding accident. After having a partial reconstruction of the shoulder due to a horse accident I found myself too nervous to ride but eventually worked out of the anxiety. Currently I ride Spanish dressage on several Andalusians and Lusitanos.

I never used to play sims until I found HEE. From the start I always knew I wanted to be part of the wonderful staff of this great game and now that dream came true. This is the first sim I found that held my interests without fail. I love being here and being part of the game. On my off time (which is very rare due to internship) I like to run and am starting to enjoy reading dark fantasy novels. As always I am a major fan of anime and manga.

For a long as I can remember I have loved horses. I used to have model horses I played with. Those little lego horses that came with castles were one of my favorite things. I never built the castle. Just the stable for the horses!

When I was 12 my uncle had a friend who was getting rid of his estranged wife's horses. He had no idea how to take care of them and Lady the thoroughbred was skin and bones when I got her. I was working on a horse farm and boarded her there and my mentor helped me to get Lady back into her prime. She was my one and only horse and I loved her like crazy!

Since Lady I have been horseless now for fifteen or so years, but I still have that horsey passion! I have been a barn manager taking care of feeding, cleaning and grooming show horses at a local barn.

I now live my my husband, our German Shepherd Tango, Yellow Lab Rosco & 2 cats Bodie and Shadow. I like to read and I also write poems and even novels, though I will probably never be published. I love photograhy, music, movies, swimming, surfing the web, BBQs with family & friends and walking the dogs in the park along the beautiful lake we live by. I am also a HUGE New York Yankees fanatic!
