Delenn told me about your game last week and I've already voted for it. I do hope it's successful as it is a game I will be buying when it's ready. If you need any testers I would be happy to help. I don't expect a free game either. I like to support developers by buying their games (check my Steam profile HERE, you'll see I buy a lot of games, but I also like to help elsewhere where possible.
I have done a lot of beta testing in the past, especially after I was forced into early retirement after a pretty bad car accident which left me disabled (I was hit by a speeding car while cycling to work, then sent home with no treatment, despite having four broken vertebrae and a serious head injury, i lost almost 4 inches in height and have memory problems due to the head injury, but i love gaming). Games have helped me get through the worst of it and I now use them as distraction therapy to block out the chronic pain.
I did a lot of beta testing for Alawar games several years ago when they had a dedicated team of beta testers, but that was stopped for some reason. I've also tested games for Dejobaan games (was involved in the pre alpha and alpha testing of one of their early games AaAAaaAaa: A Reckless Disregard for Gravity and one of their later games Drunken Robot Pornography, plus I beta tested 2DBoys excellent puzzle platformer Worlds of Goo. I've also tested for a couple of the big AAA developers Codemasters and EA games closed beta testing and several open beta tests for developers such as Bethesda i.e. The Elder Scrolls Online and did a lot of testing for modders of games such as Battlefield 2 and Crysis. I've taken a break from testing for the past couple of years (partly because I spent more time testing than playing my purchased games) that is until earlier this week (again thanks to Delenn), who recommended another game called Saturated Dreamers, which I've just signed on to Beta Test. If you want more testers I would be happy to help. I always test thoroughly, and do not just do this to be the first to play, or to get the game free. I document any bugs or glitches methodically that I come across and will include screen captures and video captures if required of any glitches and bugs that I think will help. I can either send reports via email, or post on your web site, and even chat about them via my team speak server or via Skype if you wish to.
I've voted for almost 900 items since Greenlight was instigated.

p.s.
I showed Star Stable to my daughter, she loved it. I also read your post that you linked to above. I though it was well written and made me think a little more about voting more often. I used to vote regularly, but often only bother if I've purchased a bundle of games with some in Greenlight, so I'll go vote for them and whatever is in the same que. I'm going to try and make a point of visiting at least once a day even for a few moments. The votes would soon pile up, even if I only went through one que a day. :)
