The oldest child of unreformed beatniks ‘Breeze’ and ‘Barley’ Bridger, Horizon Bridger was born during ‘the Summer of Love’, and grew up in the quite interesting environment of Austin, Texas as one of seven children raised in the mindset of the 1960’s. However, Horizon rejected the upbringing of her parents and saw the allure of capitalism, enrolling in the Business Administration program at Middleton College; it was through this that she came to the attention of Jake Morgendorffer and came to work for him as an intern.

Horizon had a falling-out with her parents when she chose her major, as her parents wanted her to become a veterinarian or a lawyer with a focus in environmental law. They were especially disappointed when she started to use ‘H. Elizabeth Bridger’ as her name; their relationship was mended when Horizon agreed to use ‘H. Elizabeth’ only for business purposes.
